I am attempting to blog again after over two years of just Facebooking. Just a week ago I decided to deactivate my personal FB account because I just had too many FB pages to manage. First, there is my Jai Lao Friend, then there's the Jai Lao Foundation fan page, and then Tippy and I started the Banana Leaf Catering Co. fan page for our catering business. Also, I know how very short term my memory is and I want to remember special moments spent with my husband and kids when I am old and sinile. But by then will I even remember my password to get into my blog? Another reason I want to start blogging again is for my kids and grandkids to be able to go back and read little stories of our lives. I will not even try to recover two years of birthdays, anniversarys, milestones, vacations, etc. because it would prove too difficult and crazy for me to attempt. Moving forward is all I can do at this point.
My first entry back is our family's spring break vaction to Park City, UT. I won a week's stay at the Larsen's cabin here at Micheal J's Boy Scout auction for just $500! It's quite large with 6 bedrooms and I am wishing either all of the Reagan's or Singharath could be here to enjoy it with us. Originally, I was supposed to come here with a few other families in our ward, but things happen and here we are alone in this huge cabin. It was a very nice ten hour drive here. Of course it was nice for me for I slept and was transported to Utah almost in the blink of an eye. I am so grateful for Tui's stamina at staying awake to drive by himself in all of our roadtrips. After a long drive, we were rewarded at Red Iguana Mexican food in Salt Lake City which was absolutley delicious and authentic! Very well worth the long drive.
It has been years since we took our kids skiing/snowboarding. This will be Kayley's first ski trip. Tui signed both girls up for ski lessons. I can't believe how pricey skiing is. It's no wonder we don't go every year. I opted not to ski but I hope to weather the cold to capture some cute pictures of the kids skiing. I'm excited that Tui and MJ will be snowboarding together. Tui has lost so much weight since his surgery that he's very happy to try boarding again with less weight to bear down on.
