Last Chance Harvey


I watched this movie tonight and I really enjoyed it. It is nice to see a movie where it is not two beautifully perfect people who easily find each other and fall in love.
These two characters are older and they each have complicated histories. Everything is not perfect and it does not end perfect. I really enjoyed it.
Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson seem very real and seem to bring their own life experiences into this picture.
Wow look at me trying to review a movie.

The Left Turn at Albuquerque

The day before we left California boxes were packed and then the truck. This was the box Trey and I packed.
On Friday, May 22nd we started the drive and this was pretty much how Kaden looked when he was awake.
This is what we saw out the window while listening to U2 Joshua Tree. Go figure?
This is all we saw for two straight days of driving...
...and this.
After the first day of driving Trey was a bit sleepy.
On Saturday, May 23rd, Trey got a special present from Mom. If you cannot tell he was excited.
You solved the mystery, it was the movie Bolt.
This was an actually building on the freeway. It was so rare I had to get a picture. The rain was consistent in New Mexico every afternoon that I was there.
There were trains every where. Trey loved it and I realized why Cowboy in Newsies wanted to head to Santa Fe.
May 23rd we arrived in Albuquerque, New Mexico to an awesome new house for the Lecheminants. Thanks for all the reminders about taking that left turn at Albuquerque!
The hot air balloons came out for the two days after we arrived. Some may say it was for Memorial Day. But I think the balloons were meant to welcome Jeff and Julie. I love you guys.

California

I arrived in California yesterday and was very excited to see the Lecheminant Clan. I have had a fun day with Trey and Kaden at the park blowing bubbles and playing the part of Princess Fionna.

One of the best parts of the day was Kaden and Trey running through the back of the moving truck. Oh the memories of my childhood.

 Jeff and Julie's ward came through in leaps and bounds as they loaded the truck for the big move. Although I can't say it was a complete LDS affair because there were cookies left over. 

We head out tomorrow morning on a road trip adventure from the bay area of California to New Mexico. Julie and I have done road trips before. I hope she is prepared for dealing with me in the car for two straight days. 

More coming soon...

EARTH

For my birthday my mom and I went to see the movie Earth. I highly recommend it. It is a documentary type that is beautiful. Go see it on the big screen. I was fun to go see it with Mom. I love her.
Afterwards Steph, Mom, Quincey and I went to lunch at Wingers and had fabulous Asphalt Pie. Who could ask for a better birthday than this!
P.S. I do find it sad that Bob Marley died on my birthday. I know random thoughts.

I Have a Garden...

I had a wonderful day with friends in the gardens at Thanksgiving Point.
The weather was beautiful and so were the flowers.
Emily, Deah, Melinda and Kelly are flowers among flowers.
What an awesome way to celebrate Sarah's and my birthday. Thanks ladies I could not ask for better!

Losing my Marbles


Finals are over and I did my best,
I am glad it's done so I can have a rest.
My house has needed cleaning for six months now,
It is time to catch up before I have a cow.
This poem is silly as you can easily see,
Oh well I had fun and it was easy for me.
