I watched the movie "Julie & Julia" tonight with my mother, while the boys and Eric went to "GI Joe". I am certain I got the better deal.
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, and learned quite a bit about Julia Child during the course of it. I also realized I hadn't blogged in a very long time, and I missed letting everyone, yet no one, know what was going on in my world. It's like writing in a narcissistic diary of sorts.
I can't believe my last entry was in March. I will certainly have to remedy that.
In that span of time, I have moved full time to Cedar Falls, had my car crushed by a tree during the big wind storm in July, and had a hearing to determine temporary custody of the boys while the custody case moves on at a snail's pace. We lost the case, and the boys will remain in Des Moines during this time. I am dealing with it, though I am heartbroken not to be the parent Tyler comes home to after his first day of kindergarten. I am planning on sending him to school with a little note from me, and hope to get the full report that evening.
I've had an eventful summer, filled with trips to the pool, Nerf wars, a trip to Duluth, and a trip to Okoboji, both places I had never been. Today we went to Backbone State Park. I hadn't been there since college. It was nice to share it with the boys. We waded a bit, looked in the cave, and stopped by Richmond Springs. The trip was completed with a trip to Dairy Sweet, the ice cream place in Lamont that I always got to go to after trips to Backbone with my parents.
The boys are in bed (though doubt they are sleeping since Eric is playing drums in the basement), and I feel the need for some wine and cheese. So, I bid you a fond farewell, and Bon Appetit!
