I've been down but not out....

so my computer decided to crash oh...about two days after my last post. Alas, it is still broken and I complain about it everyday. My poor husband is probably very tired of hearing my rantings. Luckily my parents said I could use their computer, so here I sit at there house trying to get a million things done online that I didn't realize I used the computer for until you no longer have the use of one in your own home. Oh how dependent I have become!
Last week we spend 7 beautiful days in Kauai! It was the best vacation! The weather couldn't have been better. It did not rain once while we were there and the temps were in the 80's everyday. I will have to do a serious post with pictures when I am up and running again (hopefully soon). If you are looking for the perfect tropical vacation...try Kauai, you will love it. I got a super cute new toe ring that says "KAUAI" on it, it's a real touristy thing, but so cute. I love it!
On Wednesday of this week I had our RS B-day party celebration for Enrichment. It went so good. Our theme was Home, Family, and "Purse"onal Enrichment. We decorated with pink, black and silver and had about 50 different purses decorating the tables in the colors we chose. We had tissue paper coming out of them with balloons tied in the middle of each table. We also sprinkled red, pink and white M&M's around each table, and each place setting had a pink plate. We served chicken salad croissants, spinach strawberry salad, and then had a chocolate fountain for dessert. It was so yummy. My committee did such a great job on the B-day party! We had the RS president give a talk about different "bags" women carry and how we don't really know what's on the inside of someones bag and liken it unto ourselves that we don't know what's on the inside of others, etc. It was so great. We then played a game kind of like let's make a deal where the ladies had to hold up items in their purses (we told them to bring them) and they got a prize if they were the 1st to hold it up. Some of the items were: a police ticket, a child's toy, a prescription med, mouthwash, etc. Anyway we had a really good response to the night. I am so glad it is over!!
We are almost done with our adoption profile and hopefully will be approved next week sometime. This has been such a process this time as you have to do a hard copy along with on-line stuff as well. I will be very relieved when we are all done and can feel like we are starting the waiting process. So, if you know anyone that is pregnant and is interested in placing for adoption. Let me know, we appreciate all the support we have gotten from friends and family.
ok-I am somewhat caught up-hopefully pictures of beautiful Kauai will soon follow!

SHE LIVES!!!! Hahaha..

It's so good to hear from you again, Ro! I can't wait to see you at bunko and hear all about your trip. I also can't wait, because when I go to bunko we will be back from our trip to Philadelphia for McKynlee's surgery. That always gets me feeling a little more anxious than I'm comfortable with.

Welcome back. You were missed. I am so jealous of your tropical break from reality. Can't wait to see some pics.
