Suprise!

Ok, guess where I am...most of you already know, but Jenny didn't! I am in Roanoke! I decided a few months ago (with help and prompting from my husband) to come out for a visit, oh yeah, and NOT let Jenny know about my plan. Well, it worked, I managed to keep it a secret and she was very suprised.



Here is how it went down: after a full day of travel (3 different airplanes)I arrived in Roanoke about 7 pm. Mark met me at the airport and we waited for my bag, which has yet to show up (a whole different story). He takes me to the house and brings Addilyn in, who he takes up the stairs and tells Jen he found left on the front step. Jen is not fooled, she recognizes Addilyn right away from her pictures, and starts crying " The Crockers are here?!". I come up the stairs and we hug and cry. Gosh, I've missed her!



We have had a lot of fun so far, just hanging out and getting caught up. T and I have been playing and baby P is just as cute as he looks in the pictures. I have taken some pictures which I will down-load when my bag gets here. Oh yeah...my bag.



So, I waited until the luggage spinny thing stopped. No bag, not a good sign. The guy comes out and tells me that there is nothing else on the plane. Off to customer service. I wait for 15 min. for someone to come over to the counter, all with a baby who was done traveling hours ago. Finally someone come and tells me my bag in in TN. They don't know why, but it should be delivered later that night and they will bring it to the house. Next morning, no bag. I call and she said it will put put on a plane for later that day and will arrive about 6pm. Off to Wal-Mart for...everything. At 9pm, still no bag. Mark calls for me and finds out my bad in now in Little Rock, AK. Today is Saturday, I still have no bag and am now glad I bought the 5 pack of undies at Wal-Mart. My bag has the charger for my cell phone, which is almost dead. It has the cord for my computer, all Addilyns stuff and all my stuff. Addilyn can wear P's stuff, but its a little big, and he is a boy. I am a foot taller than Jen, so I can't use any of her stuff.

I hope my bag comes before Church tomorrow!

I'm so excited that the surprise worked out! I wish I could have seen Jenny's face! Priceless! :)

That really stinks about your bag. I hope it shows up soon. What airline was it?

Have fun! Wish I could be there with y'all!
Love,
Jen

I went to Poland several years ago, and the girl traveling with me never got her bag. Six years later and they are still looking for her bag...

The good news is you're still in America and they know where your bag is. When you're traveling across seas, it's a little harder to find your bag.

Sorry to hear you lost your bag!! My dad has been traveling there a lot for business and hates the long day of travel. But he has yet to lose his bag! I'll tell him he's lucky ;o) That is especially hard with a baby. Hope your bag comes soon!!

Working on my Domestic Goddess Badge

I looked at the to-do list I made last week and am happy to say I can cross off almost everything on it. It only took me 2 weeks. I think I either need smaller lists or more time. Here is what I have been up to: -I have made 2 loaves of banana oat bread, 1 batch of blackberry strawberry freezer jam, 1 loaf of gluten free bread. -From 12 juiced grapefruit I made grapefruit curd and a pan of grapefruit bars. -My garden is almost completely done, including a upgrade in size. I am growing tomatoes, onions, peppers, potatoes , cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower , herbs, lettuce, spinach , green beans, snap peas, cucumbers, and kohlrabi. -I hung herbs to dry -I have folded massive amounts of laundry...with more yet to do. All washed with my homemade laundry soap. -I recovered the "green monster" which is another post entirely. -I added a sitting area in my bedroom, where I am currently sitting, so that my laptop has a home other than the kitchen table. - I got a new dining room table a...

Not my fault

The other night we had company for dinner. I had 3 dessert choices, which Matt said was excessive. Whatever. It isn't my fault that he doesn't like cherries and so I had to make flourless chocolate cake with almonds and ganache for him. The baby wanted black forest brownies and I just happened to have blueberry cheesecake on hand from the day or two before. Anyway, our guest was expecting too, and twins at that! It isn't my fault I burned my tongue on the hot-out-of-the oven pina colada cake. It smelled soooo good and the baby said he needed a bite RIGHT NOW. And who am I to say no to a little guy who is just trying his best to grow and get fat? What kind of mother would I be? I spend a majority of time in yoga pants, which I should not be blamed for. After all, if the makers of maternity clothing understood how hard it is to keep pants on a round belly, maybe they would be a little more innovative . And my pants always feel tight...maybe it is the dessert options at my hou...

My life plan

Some people have "bucket lists", which I admire, you know how I LOVE myself a good list. Strangely enough, I have yet to make a bucket list. This totally seems like something I would love to do; I love a good plan and lists make me unquestionable happy...maybe I can add "bucket list" to my "to-do" list. While I don't have myself a handy dandy "bucket list" I do have a well organized life plan. I assume God has some plans of His own for my life and I am more than happy to switch to His plan at any time. But until I see the sky writer/direct message from God, this is what I am going to be doing: 1- Move to Jersey for Matt's job. Ok, so he doesn't actually HAVE the job in Jersey but a plan has to start somewhere. Live in Jersey for a couple of years, home school Eliana and work on getting my parent educator certification so I can practice as a postpartum doula and parent educator. 2- Move back to Colorado. Enroll Eliana at Montessori Pea...
