I'm back from my quick trip to Utah to visit my grandparents. It was a good trip. Both my grandma and grandpa were having good health days the day I was at their house, so they were able to visit for quite awhile. I've been hearing how sick they are and how they've been close to their deathbed so many times and that grandpa can only handle visitors for about an hour at a time. But they looked great! My aunt was there and said he has about 3 good days a week...I just got lucky that Monday was one of those days.
It was nice to be "home" too. Things have changed so much there since I moved away almost three years ago. There's been a growth explosion and there's so much more to do and see. Even my mom's neighbor's are sprucing up their houses, some of them are barely recognizable. Even my mom has been doing a bunch of work, although her's is mostly on the inside. But she has done some lovely landscaping. But my favorite thing she's changed is a room downstairs. For the first 20 years we lived there it was a 2x4 framed storage room. Very basic, very spider filled and very scary! But in the last month or so she's had it completely finished and turned it into and awesome bedroom! I got to sleep in it and it was so nice! I miss the down comforter she had on the bed, it was so warm! Next month she's completely gutting her kitchen and modernizing it. I have to admit, my little green eyed monster of jealousy was itching just under the skin, I would LOVE to be able to do that to my kitchen, starting with the floor up. I'd love to get new tiles, updated stain on the cupboards, new hardware pulls, new light fixtures...and on and on. I am "inheriting" her old appliances which are newer and nicer than what I have now. But I have to find a way to get them from Utah to Colorado...hmmmm. But once I do I'll have a double oven with a flat top cooking surface. :)
Ok...enough about my trip and my jealousy, it's time to announce winners!!!!
First off, one lucky person will be receiving a pair of Eleven Collection shoes. These are some of my favorite kid's shoes of all time. My daughter is always getting complements on her pairs. That lucky winner is...
