When I was in high school there was a song-" I am in a Hurry to get things done, I rush and rush until life is no fun." Well I had one of those character moments this last week. It started with my run in Summer games- oh yeah ... loved it. I have not enjoyed running like that maybe never, but into the first mile yep- potty time- I was rushing that morning so much that no time to go and I did not want to go in the pants so I took a minor detour and went in the lovely Cedar mountains. So I had to really pick up the pace to make up my time- rushin' for sure. I rush and rush, also my kids are involved in all-stars, basketball and football camps, scout things, and Bet did tumbling at Summer Games (she did awesome two gold medals and one bronze!), so this week has been a rush- I haven't stopped enough to know exactly what kind of rush hee hee! Anyway life is sooo good and fun to the Justice clan that I do not think that this rushin' does not indicate life is no fun and were not not getting done the important things like the I love yous and the bedtime loves. ( I did promise Luke a bedtime story) hopefully we don't rush through it.

Good Luck to all you moms out there and I hope your summer rush is as fun as mine has been.?

***Another rush moment as been our lack of nutritious lunches- anybody out there feel mac-n-cheese is healthy because that would sure stroke my mommy ego?
What A Rush Summer gives!!! Love'n it in Emery County

I received a sweet e-card and on the bottom it had a reminder of upcoming holidays ie. Father's Day. Well one such holiday that I was unaware of is tomorrow-BEST FRIEND'S DAY. So with that I must give a shout out to all my friends and a thanks for their support and love throughout the years!

Friends are unique kind of like dogs spots/freckles and all- no offense. They just love you and keep on lovin'- unlike family that is stuck with each other,( though my family are my dear friends too), friends choose each other and listen to our problems without reimbursement. They also like us when we may not look our best, for instance, once I had strep throat and two little babies and my dear friend Mindy came cleaned my house and drove me to the doctor bad breathe and all-true friend. I was taught the value of a dear friend from third grade on when I met Ang, she and I were friends through many silly stunts, boys, and grumpy times but through it all she still was loyal, not judgemental and a great friend-there are days I feel the sweetness of heaven and know that friendships are forever. Many refer to dog as man's best friend really for me it is people I like-I say that with a quick apology to Tai and his dog Belle.

One more on Best Friends mine happens to be my dear husband, he is the friend that has been through thick and thin with me this friendship started over 17 years ago and still is growing daily- I love him tons. ( This picture is too funny to not post-he was sanding our ceiling after the 'hole' experience and I could not resist.)

There are two particular times during the year that I evaluate/reflecton my life and the kind of person that I want to be. One happens to be New Year's and I can honestly say that it has little to do with the resolutions it is simply after the hoopla and fun of Christmas and the kids break I want to clean my house and reflect on those fun and exciting times and I am truly excited for what the new year might bring. With that said I must now say the other-my birthday... I say it with hesitation because it scrambles my brain. I am not one of those who do not like getting older, nor am I one who dislikes presents-bring them on especially from Chris. It is a strange phenomenon it has something to do with the attention. What is wrong with me?!
Growing up my mom went all out balloons, cakes, present, parties, etc. It was the greatest day of the year. Now not so much- HELP! Every year I beg Chris to take me somewhere, he offered this year to, but I told him I want to be strong-hee hee!
I am petitioning my friends and family for their advice- why is this birth-day thing so icky to me? Am I crazy? Has the party girl in me disappeared? (She never really existed maybe that is the dilemma) I like to think of myself as a positive person so HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me and I am going to make my 34th year a great year!!!! I will make it through another birthday.
