Say It Ain't So, I Will Not Go

Well hello there!  Prepare for a long rambling post!  Woohoo!

I have been incredibly terrible at this whole blogging thing this past month.  At first it was honestly because I was extremely busy, and then I was in Arizona where I had no internet access for the week.  But then the day I got back I went back to work for another work and I was just so worn out that I honestly didn't even think about blogging.  This past week, however, I have just been lazy enjoying being home.  For the most part at least.

It had been ten years since the last time I was down in Arizona and had a chance to visit that side of my family on their home turf.  I quite enjoyed being out of Utah for a week and spending quality time with my family and especially my little martian.  The trip there wasn't so bad, but like with most trips, the return trip was extremely long.  We found this awesome burger joint in Kanab though, seriously worth it.

It was kind of funny because I experienced a bit of culture shock.  In Utah, the only place you can get alcohol, other than beer, is at the state liquor stores.  But in other states there are huge aisles full of alcohol, wine, etc. at places like Walmart and the corner gas station.  Little ol' me walked into the gas station to see a wall of vodka and was like "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-???"  Yep.  I had an "outside of Utah" experience.

While in Arizona my cousins introduced me to geocaching, and I am kind of addicted to it.  So, of course, I had to introduce my mom to it, and we have quite enjoyed going out and finding treasure and logging caches.  Well, I have, I really shouldn't be speaking for her.  Haha.

The week after we got back, little man took his first steps!  While I was home!!  I had been quite worried that I was going to miss it and that would be one of those major firsts that I would miss when I had so far not missed anything.  But no, my well behaved little man waited until everyone was there to see!  Such a good boy!

I had a blast on Halloween.  It was the martians first, and we both dressed up as monsters.  I must say we were pretty damn adorable.  I only worked the last part of the night, and I quite enjoyed being able to spend the holiday with him trick-or-treating and showing off his costume to the great grandparents.

So my October goal was to start the money saving challenge, and so far I have been doing pretty good at it and even though I started a little late, I caught up.  So far, so good.

Now it is November, and I can't really think of a goal for this month.  I will continue to work on my past goals, get ready for the martian's first birthday and Christmas, and try to have a better attitude in general.

My little man's birthday is fast approaching and the closer it gets the better I am feeling about it, where as a few months ago the very thought made me want to cry because my baby is going to be a toddler and he is just getting so big!!

Well, I am going to end this now before I ramble on even more.
