Wow! I cannot believe that April is in less than two hours! Where has this year gone?!?!!? April should be fun. . .a different fun than March. . .we are pretty much staying put for the month and I am glad for that (however, if you told me I would have to go back to El Nido again, I wouldn't be too sad). So, here is what our (Braner Party of 7's) month looks like in a nutshell:
I have a lot of fun things to look forward to!
My parents come this weekend and I couldn't be more excited! I miss them so much and I am so glad that they'll be here with us! They rented a house (ski in/ski out--or board in/board out) up at the mountain, so we'll be snowboarding bums all weekend! I just can't wait to be with them! This is the best and worst part of the move. It really makes me sad that we don't live next door anymore, but I really love our long weekends when we have them all to ourselves!!!
Another WONDERFUL thing is that Andy is finally coming home!!! He has been gone since March 3rd. Yes, we have been together some of the time, but these last two weeks have been torture (fun Skype dates, but I would rather him be here in person)! He'll be home Saturday night!!!
Leadership weekend for Camp Kivu will be after Easter.
Then the DREADED triathlon will be here before I know it--just kill me now! I think I'm the only person on this planet who is disappointed when she doesn't break her ankle after a big snowboarding fall. . .it isn't too late. . .maybe this weekend! :) The good thing about the triathlon (besides it being OVER) is that my friend, Jenny Freyman is flying in to "run" it "with" me. She'll finish the whole race while I'm still in the pool, but I am SO excited to see her! It has been too long!
April is also the month of dreaded "previews of change and growing up." This part may be worse than the triathlon!!! We have open house for Middle School for Hays. YUCK. Where did my first baby go?!?!? Then we have open house for Kindergarten for Dax. YUCK! YUCK! Who is taking my baby from me!??!?! I may be a basket case for most of the month (gifts welcome)!!!
And Gabby's birthday will finish off the month. My littlest will be three! When did that happen?!?!?
So there is April for me.
This is the last month before the insanity-filled life of chaos begins in May and lasts for fifteen weeks--camp! I love camp, but I am going to milk this month of normalcy (whatever that is) for all it is worth!!!
Happy April and may you not fall for any April Fool's gags!
P.S. Naomi Muselman, if you are reading this: you crack me up and I really like you! I'm glad I got to know you in the Philippines and I hope that we get to spend more time together in the future! You made my day today!
