UTAH

I'm in Utah right now visiting my adorable granddaughter, McKinley, my daughter, Megan, and my son-in-law Travis. I got here on Tuesday the 15th and I am going to be here until Friday the 25th. Travis went out of town a few days this last week and Steve is going to be out of town all next week and neither Megan or I wanted to spend the time alone. We have been shopping, visiting relatives, shopping, eating out, and shopping! I didn't shop at all when I was in that bad place that I talked about in the last post, so I guess I'm making up for lost time! In our family two things that we always do when we get together is shop and eat out.(except the guys don't go shopping very often. Especially Steve!) I have taught those girls well! Mandy, my oldest, says my oldest granddaughter Gabriella, who is 3, even loves to shop! The tradition continues!
By the way... in case I've never told you... I have the cutest grandkids in the world!!! It brings me SO much joy just to be around them!!! I absolutely love every minute!!! I'm very blessed to have them!!!
I'm also very blessed to have 4 beautiful daughters!!! I love spending time with them!!! They make me SO proud!!! (I don't mean to make ya'll feel 2nd place! You were my first loves!!! After Dad, of course!)
And speaking of Steve... I love that man more every day!!!(even after 34 1/2 years!!!)
I'm feeling very grateful lately!!! Just had to share!!!

I'M BLOGGING AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet you can't believe it but... I'M BLOGGING AGAIN!!!!! You know for sure I must be in a good place!!! I used to love blogging, but for a VERY long time I was in a bad place and I wasn't motivated to do any blogging (or anything else for that matter). GLAD TO BE BACK!!!!

NEW GRANDBABY

I have a new adorable grandbaby!!!!! Her name is Melia Rose Dillard. She was born to my oldest daughter and her husband on June 26. That is also Steve's and my anniversary,two of our son in law's birthdays,and Steve's sister's birthday. What a wonderful anniversary gift! I was able to be in the room for the delivery! What an amazing experience that was for me!!!

CALIFORNIA TRIP

We got back on Sunday from our California trip. We had a fun time hanging out at the beach. We also walked on Hollywood Boulevard and checked out the stars on the sidewalk and Graumins Chinese Theatre. We took a ride through Beverly Hills in a limo and checked out Rodeo Drive. Had fun playing with the grandbabies!
Emily, my baby, got engaged this week!
We also celebrated Mandy's 30th birthday!
All in all a very eventful week!
