New years with extra fam was unplanned but so fun to wake up to 5+ babies every morning for 2 weeks :)
-Trip to Idaho with my fam.
-Snowmobiling and C flipped us off so that was pretty funny
-Found some Hot Springs in the Idaho mountains, hot springs surrounded by snow was the perfect mix
-Took a Doula Trip overseas to Albania! 4 weeks and so fun to be in a European Country for that long!
-Trip to Albania got postponed a day, due to silly things, but it all worked out and we made it.
We had some funny laughs that day running around and doing all the unnecessary asked for things. It was a perfect sunset that day. And we got unexpected Mexican that night.
-Grace and I traveled together overseas and she hadn't been out of country since she was 6yrs old. So what an honor to bring her again
-Walking the streets...always the best parts of other countries
-We were at a farm restaurant in Kruya Albania, and a violinist was playing a gorgeous violin made of beautiful old wood. I asked if I could play it and he let me and it was a more than a gift that I he let me play it.
-Quince Fruit tree (Albania) a new one
-Watched a woman mopping her tile porch in the rain. And it was one of those memorizing moments. Watching from a balcony in Albania, this little lady, mopping in the rain. I’m not sure why it was, if it was because she was carelessly going on with her life amid a rainstorm, or the fact of someone cleaning something while the earth was being cleaned… either way, It was memorable.
-We found on a random day that The Opera house downtown was doing Carmen and we bought tickets immediately.
-Got to dress up and go to our first Opera in Europe! Man their voices are to die for! How can someone make you sore through mountains and valleys with only their vocal chords?
-It made me smile when my sister texted me that she found the perfect crushed ice to eat knowing I love to eat ice
-Threw a shower for our best girl Charlie and it was beautiful and full of wonderful people who came to bless show they care.
-All my favourite collection of mugs broke into pieces so I tried to glue them back to life. J put together one of my best mugs to be a plant holder now, so it still holds a place
-Made a quick short road trip across the states to pick up our babes.
-Thankful for a good man to go with and enjoy the long straight roads with beautiful open country. Silos and fields and farms and windmills. Snacks, good music and talks.
-I even cried in a random WV Taco Bell while eating my chalupa. I didnt mean to, but also couldn't stop it. Now it's kinda funny to think about
-Our babes I&M came to live with us. What a joy and love for life babies bring. Being a home for family makes life purposeful
-G and I played music for a political party dinner. And Mark Robinson was actually funny because he sang us two country songs karaoke style.
-My younger taller sis got MARRIED. And what a beautiful day it was. What an honour to stand beside her making a life commitment to her man.
-Dancing with all the babes to Hair-up and Lovebug at the wedding was one of my favourite parts of being an auntie. Teaching them how to dance crazy with my non-moves is the best
-Wedding cleanup is always fun too. It flew by too fast. The van was a wreck and jumping in to rearrange everything to fit was normal but funny when I got asked if I ever play tetris.
-Baby J joined our world making the #17 Matson Grandbabe
-Lil G got her diploma and we had a day of celebration for her. Volleyball was fun with a mix of the old and new and fam from out of town.
-My lil Meggy gave us a scare and spent a couple days in the hospital. Thankful for health care even tho its long and arduous at times
-I rode in an ambulance for the first time and I hope I never have to again
-I bought a pair of sunglasses at the hospital with Meg because they gave me joy. Unfortunately the rims broke the first day but we make do now and they're a memory for me

-Worked in AK with APC again. It always feels good doing heavy manual labor for hours days on end. But man does a body get sore.
-I've never woken up at 3am so many weeks in a row. That was a new condition for work this year.
-RTB called me Lil'Willie everyday on the jobsite and that was a funny new nickname to have.
-I took a flight with my own Dad as the pilot! That was a strange, crazy and wowing first time thing to do! Looking down after take off and just flying over the earth, and looking over and your Dad is the one driving this! What a cool thing.
-G and I shopped and thrifted to our hearts content. She found me good boots. And together we found enough to fill an extra suitcase
-Rode my second flight with pilot-padre to a remote restaurant in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness! A cute little, cute little lodge that borrowed everyone a pickup to drive yourself to the lodge where they made us good burgers for lunch. And then we flew home.
-Imagine how booguie that sounds."Oh we just flew to the lodge for lunch and back." Well, I live a blessed life for sure.
-Kylie helped one of my biggest dreams come true! Having long hair and knowing what an even amount of hair feels like! Gah, wow how can such a simple thing to make a heart so happy! I love when little things give you joy. Extensions were literally made for ppl with my hair condition 😂 Lord bless whoever invented them and bless anyone with my hair; with them.
-4th of July at our house was everything a 4th should be. Hamburgers & good food. Volleyball. Everything life on a farm can offer. Good fireworks. Babies, basketball, good laughs & great talks.
-Went skydiving for the 2nd for Graces birthday!! Honestly the 2nd was better than the first! When I told the instructor I was interested in becoming a skydiver, he spent the whole of our ride explaining every little detail on how it works. Also letting me control our free falling and how many twists and spins we did. To feel in control while falling completely out of control through the sky was an amazing experience and something that would bring me back.
-Went to the beach w/C and it was a perfect beach trip.
-We toured around Charleston. And spent most our time smelling amazing candles and window shopping.
-And then we found my latest and greatest food that I fell in love with: Udon Noodles. And wow I think I found what noodles they’re eating in heaven.
