ON 6/21-28 WE DROVE 2 UTAH, SPENT 3 DAYS, THEN WENT BACK 2 AUSTIN, TX. ABOUT A DRIVE VS. FLY-I ONLY LASTED THAT LONG IN UTAH-& 1 WEEK INCLUDED DRIVE TIME-BECAUSE I HAD COMPUTER & A LARGE SCREEN TV. DRIVING SUCKS THAT IT’S SLOWER, BUT IT’S WAY BETTER THAN FLYING 4 ME. FLYING IS JUST STRESSFUL, LIKE U CAN’T BELIEVE, & I’M SO WORRIED ABOUT A CANCELED FLIGHT. DRIVING ALSO ALLOWS ME MORE COMFORTS: LIKE MY VAN, POWER CHAIR, & RAMP. BUT, I COULD TELL WHEN THE KIDS GOT BORED-THEY GOT NOISY. BEFORE, I KEPT THEM QUIET & ENTERTAINED!

SO WHY DID WE GO? MARK’S BABY BROTHER’S WEDDING. IT WAS GOOD (ALTHOUGH W/PBA & PICS RT. AFTER, I ONLY DID 2 PICS AT THE RECEPTION, ATTENDED THE RECEPTION & PART OF THE FAM. DINNER THE PREVIOUS NIGHT) & WE GOT 2 C LOTS OF FAM., WHICH WAS GOOD!

ON THE WAY THERE, A MALLARD DUCK HIT THE WINDSHEILD (IT SEEMS FINE) DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. MARK FELT BAD, BUT AFTER HOURS OF HIM POINTING OUT WILDLIFE I COULDN’T C, I COMMENTED, “WELL, AT LEAST I SAW THAT!”

SUN.WE HAD 4 VISITORS. I LATER TOLD THEM:

I PURPOSELY DIDN’T SEND A REMINDER EMAIL. I AM SHOCKED U REMEMBERED! I FIGURED MY PBA WOULD MAKE ME CRY HORRIBLY EVERYTIME I SAW SOME1. I DID AMAZINGLY WELL! I DIDN’T CRY! I THINK IT HELPED 2 C EXTENDED FAM. & ATTEND A WEDDING RECEPTION THE PREVIOUS DAY.

THERE WERE 2 MORE PEOPLE-1 OUT OF TOWN & 1 THAT I GOT THE EMAIL BACK. BUT 2 THEM, I SAY DON’T FEEL BAD-MARK’S PARENTS LIVE THERE, SO I’M SURE I’LL BE BACK! BESIDES, 4 PEOPLE CAME-MIRACUOSLY NO OVERLAPPING-FROM 2 PM ON, & I WAS EXHAUSTED! I COULDN’T HAVE HANDLED MORE VISITORS!
