you know that balance i was talking about last blog..well it was nice while it lasted. actually it's not that bad, but my house is a disaster area. Ryan was in California this past weekend and left me once again as a single mom. So I packed up the kids and dog and headed to Cincinnati. I had a great visit with Mom Good and Dad Good. I don't think i have been up there by myself since I stayed with them when Ryan and I were engaged. Mom and Aunt Dee dee watched Hannah and Caleb on Saturday while i drove back down here to go to a conference on creating a life you love. It was awesome people! If a Jennifer Degler ever comes to speak your way, i highly highly recommend going. She just had a way with words that were so simple yet profound, not to mention a really funny lady. It was all about finding balance in your life and what your really value and making sure you make decisions everyday that honor those values and saying no to everything else. That was so awesome of mom and aunt dee dee to take on that task. But they had a great time too getting to know Caleb more and playing with Hannah so it worked out great. Then Saturday we had a girl's night out and dad Good stayed home while mom and aunt dee dee and i went to Caribou(sp?) coffee. it was a cute place and had a yummy turtle mocha. we stayed there chatting until midnight! they closed at 11pm, but the workers said we could stay there as long as they were there. Ryan had a great time in Cali too, which I am glad he was able to go. And get caught up on football watching time. 6 hours straight..that's impressive.

welp i'm done procrastinating. time to make dent in the disaster called the kitchen and living room. have a great week all and i look forward to reading a blog soon from Tracey! ;)
