I'm in a strange "frame of mind" at the moment. Oh great...didn't see this coming, but now that I named my blog that, it's going to seem cheesy every time I use that phrase. Well, I guess you'll have to deal with it, because I can't think of an alternative phrase to use.
So, about my strange frame of mind. It's that one that feels like you could disappear off the face of the earth and no one would notice but your husband. It's just that way. Like everyone is sort of milling around you, doing their own thing, completely impervious to you or your existence.
And here's the dilemma...if you talk about it, you're an Eeyore. If you write about it, you're depressing. So, surprising though it may be, I'm sure many others occasionally find themselves feeling these feelings, but wanting to be the peppy, optimistic, pleasant person,(that we all secretly want to be) they stuff it all down and don't talk about it. Moving on...

I am terribly excited about traveling home for my brother's graduation. I was able to go home around Christmas, but somehow May still feels like a very, long ways away from our last trip home. I miss everyone. I miss Mom & Dad's house. I miss Grandma & Grandpa. I think Randy and I will have to take a walk up the gravel road and swing on their swing, for old time's sake. Or just meander through the woods holding hands. Or play a board game with my little siblings. Doesn't really matter what we end up doing, it will be lovely. Because I will be home.


O.k. so these pictures are not very recent, but I never posted pictures of Barney's birthday party, and we went to this sweet Greek restaurant where they made you dance in circles with your arms around your friends and encouraged you to throw dishes into the air yelling "OH-pa!" and other fun things.







And then there was the sweetheart dinner that I helped decorate for:




Our friends Brandon & Cindy







I think that's enough for now. Hope you all had a lovely Monday, until next time....
