I'm Not Dead, Yet

Again, I'm way over due to get a post here.  I do have a good excuse fro March, however I have nothing for you for February.  Apologies, only, I guess.

March found us welcoming The Girl home from her mission.  It was a great day that turned into a great weekend as we whisked her away to St. George to see The Boy, who had midterms so he couldn't come north for the airport arrival of his sister.  We spent the weekend together as a family, just playing games and relaxing in the little bit of sunshine that we could find.

The follow Monday we headed home where Genius Golfer and I had to head back to work.  While The Boy got some roadtripping in for his spring break before finding his way home on Thursday. The rest of hte extended family began rolling in that evening. We enjoyed a great with my parents,my aunt, uncle, cousins and bonus cousins and my aunt and uncle from Idaho.  Friends and other local family came over Sunday to hear The Girl speak in our sacrament meeting.  She rocked her talk!  I was impressed--and I am pretty impressed with her anyway.

As the Sunday afternoon gathering began to disperse, The Boy went back to the southlands for school and a bunch of us took a quick nap.  The next morning my parents packed up and headed home.  I headed back to work, GG had work things to take care of and The Girl was left home alone.  She quickly made housework her own and set out to find a job for the summer.  She got a LOT done around here for me while she was looking for work.  I kind of missed all that she can get done while I'm at work.

Thursday that week I came down suddenly with the worst kind of cold/flu I have had for years and years!  I felt like a truck had hit me and then back up to run me over again and again.  YUCK!!  Even now, I am still struggling with a cough that won't let go and a raspy voice because of it.  I had some kind of viral bronchitis plus a sinus infection for good measure.  A week of antibiotics, lots of rest, cold meds, cough syrup and a humidifier did the best they could, and I made it back to work in almost a week.  Yikes!! I do NOT recommend it for anyone!
