SuckerPunched the blown tire, burnt headlight and...The Pilot Light

It's been about a year since I've sprayed for spiders/bugs and there has been quite a few sightings lately. YUCK! So, I thought I'd set off some foggers. I was getting all ready and as I'm reading the instructions "Turn Off Pilot Light" I start to feel overwhelmed. Just saying "Pilot Light" scares me. Plus, it had been a week which included a blown out tire and burnt out headlight. I've had similar weeks where I think to myself, if I was married I would SO not be dealing with this (I hope to find a hot husband who comes with a well equipped tool belt just waiting to check off my honey due list. ;-)) and then thanks to my cute Dad he walks me through the challenge. He walked me through so many via phone while I was in VA it was nice to have him walk me through it in person this time. I'm SO thankful for my Dad. He really can do anything in the world and is so patient with me when my distressing damsel comes out. Well, the pilot light's back on and hopefully the bugs and spiders are long gone too! Afterwards I felt pretty independent. ;-) Kind of like super women! ;-) Below are two of my other super hero friends! Thanks cute Mom for taking these fun pics! Aubs flying to my rescue, as usual. ;-)

Feeling the breeze again.

It would be difficult to put into one short post what has happened in the last year and eight months. But short and sweet, I'm living in Burley now (like the driver's license, plates and lease agreement are now in the 83318, "Famous Potatoes" area code) and I am beginning to feel the breeze again. I do miss my urban family SO very much. I think of Radik often, which usually brings me to tears (as it did just now but then life quickly moves my thoughts along and a fire alarm or something will go off. Seriously, as I was tearing up just now, a fire alarm went off and I had to leave the building ;)) then I wipe them away and send him light and love. I miss the comfort/familiarity I created for myself in beautiful Virginia but don't really miss it all that much. Nothing can compare to the time I'm now able to spend with my amazing family. They are the coolest people I know. Life is good. I feel like I've come a long ways and have now arrived at a calmer, more accepting, loving place with my thoughts and heart. I still have a long way to go but have definitely gotten passed quite a few pages in this new chapter of my life, which I'm calling My Happiness Project.
