Packing

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

The weirdest thing is happening right now.  I am blogging, and without me asking, Bill is packing up the suitcases.  I almost fell off the couch in amazement.  I love my husband, but he usually is not this helpful.  It is nice.  I figured I would blog a bit and then pack.  We pretty much have to get up in the morning and leave, so the packing really needs to be done tonight.  He even started the last load of laundry.  I think we need to go on vacation more often.

Hi ho hi ho . . It’s off to home we go

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Unfortunately, we hop a plane tomorrow to head home.  We love Arizona.  It is awesome here.  I have a ton of posts I’ll be doing over the next week or so on the stuff we did and saw.  We had a great time here.  However, Madison is needing us home again.  I wish we could have a couple more days here since we are going home to snow!

Postie Carnival

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

This month the Postie Carnival is at Skeet’s Stuff, and the topic this month is Easter and spring stories. I entered in my Easter Bonnet recipe.

Haven’t heard of the postie carnival before? Well, it is quite easy to participate in. The rules are simple:

1. Be an active Izea postie.
2. Email us at posties@inbox.com the link to your blog as well as the link to your favorite post.
3. Submissions must be entered no later than 6pm the day before the carnival. (The carnivals will be the 1st of every month).
4. Place a post on your blog directing other Posties to enter the carnival and then another post the day of the carnival directing readers to check the carnival out.

To make submitting easy, I have included a widget in my sidebar that you can use or this link.

The Altitude

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

I always thought altitude sickness was just kinda made up. Well, now being in Arizona, I have definitely learned different. We are on the second level of our building, so we have to walk down a flight of stairs and then walk up another flight to get to our car (it is hard to explain, but you would have to see it know what I am talking about). I will admit Bill and I are out of shape. However, we can walk up a flight of stairs (even 2) without getting winded. However, by the time we get to the top up by our car, we feel like we have had several corsets wrapped around us and tied as tight as possible. You cannot breathe. I have been so winded. The other thing we noticed (besides our ears popping all the time) is that our memory isn’t as good here and that sometime we seem to get altitude headaches. I now have an appreciation for when people talk about altitude sickness and how it effects you. It really does.

Oh yeah, I apologize to anyone who has commented and I haven’t gotten back to them. I’m on vacation. :)

Our View Of Sedona

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

In my last post, I said we had an awesome view from our room.  Well, since it is light now, I could get some pictures.  These were taken about 8 am this morning.  Wouldn’t you like to wake up to this?
