Utah.

Holy quick vacation, Batman! I am so glad that I was able to go to Utah last week, for a grand total of two full days (plus two travel days that don't amount to much). I heart Robin Hood and totally love that we watched the entire third season. I do apologize, however, to Kanani and Trudy for not emotionally preparing them for the final two episodes. Sorry.

I love that I went to "The Chocolate" with Laura and Beth.  It was delicious and the perfect place to catch up with favorite friends.  I love the library and am so glad I got to see a few favorite people there.  Thank you, Chelsey, for coming to work on your day off and reading the note that I left so you could call me and I could kidnap you and your car and have you take me to f.y.e. and Adam and Joanie's.  Did I say thank you?  Um, thanks. 

I also love that Gabrian decided to join us the week before my trip. I am so glad I got to meet him!


And Kora is absolutely amazing. She is beautiful and funny and so smart. 
I totally covet her room - it's what I dream mine would have looked like growing up, or even now really.  FYI, pretty much anything is better than pink carpet that you picked out during your seven-year-old "pink is my favorite color" phase.  

One more thing: f.y.e. is wonderful. I know I've raved about this before, but I've just experienced its greatness once again and I am a bit overwhelmed. I am totally wishing I could plan my triumphant return for this summer, I am thinking about it at least, but there would be a lot of details to work out and a ton of familial convincing to do.  The decision to move home was difficult enough, and it was even more difficult to stay home once I actually got here, but it's been a year and a half and maybe trying to leave will be different this time. I'll let you know.

But this little girl surely would be one amazing reason to stay!

Look at the baby!

Surprise event of the weekend: My newest niece was born Saturday morning at 5:41, and guess when she was due - November 5th. Just in case you're confused or a little out of touch, Saturday was not November 5th. It was, in fact, October 17th, meaning she was in such a hurry to reach the world that she came three weeks early! Crazy kid. Needless to say, she's tiny. 4 pounds, 11 ounces kind of tiny. But, she is absolutely beautiful and has one heck of a big sister: "Psy'renee Alayna Dennis" - I'm pretty sure her name is bigger than she is. Paris holding her baby sister's hand. Tender. Paris told Psy (pronounced 'sigh', as in psychology, psychotic, psychiatrist, etc): "It's going to be alright." I almost cried, it was that adorable. Paris holding her sister for the first time... ...and Paris being distracted by a Barbie commercial on the TV above her. Paris found an awesome hiding place for her solo game of hide-and-seek. Lo...

Third Adventure. Part Four.

The adventure continued on Friday, 4 June 2010, with the Annual Shareholder's Meeting and the reason why I went to Arkansas.  I don't recall much of the official business that took place, but I do remember the famous people.  Jamie Foxx was our host and the star of the day.  He is a very twitchy performer; it was hard to get a clear picture.  He sang, he joked, he took Darell's jacket, he imitated Ray Charles... He was absolutely hilarious.  And I loved him on Sesame Street.    Famous person number two, and I still can't get over this: Enrique Iglesias. When in my life would I ever actually see him in a live performance?  That's right.  Never.  This may come as a shocker, so prepare yourself, but he's not actually the greatest singer.  He's really very pitchy, but his earpiece-thing came out, so I'll try not to judge too harshly.  Also, he's very pretty, and, he jumped off the stage and came out into the crowd about te...
