I'll take a shot at this!

Well, I have not taken a stab at doing a post yet. I am too afraid of messing it up, saying something stupid, or just having nothing to say. Well...I think I have overcome my fears. Why do I think i have? Because I'm on here writing. Well here it goes! Wish me luck!

Over the weekend we had a great opportunity to go up to my grandma Benich's house and spend time with a lot of my family. It was her 80th birthday. Before we left we found out there was going to be a long delay were we to take I-17 straight to Cornville so we decided to head up through Payson, Pine, and Strawberry, wonder on back to the 17 and then go up to Cornville. Withing 15 minutes of driving up the 87 we noticed some road construction vehicles and our lane slowly disappeared and we were forced into 1 lane of traffic. I thought we were doomed to be in one lane all the way to Payson but luckily it only lasted for a few miles.

As we continued our 3 hour trip to a place only about 2 hours away the temperature dropped and the desert disappeared. We were soon up in Payson enjoying the view of the beautiful mountains and the smell of pine trees. I would love to live in a mountain town sometime in my life. It's so peaceful! Except for in the middle of the night when the bears and wolves come out and try to eat you! That's scary!

Anyway, it was very peaceful being able to drive up through the mountains. and go to Cornville. When we arrived we were just hung out with some family that I have not seen in a long time and enjoyed their company. Everybody is growing and having babies and everything...maybe i'm the one that's baby hungry now! My mom made my grandma an awesome looking quilt on behalf of all the kids and she liked it! my cousin Karen made some pozole and I brought some home to enjoy during the week.
