Adios. Goodbye. Ciao.

It's almost time to say goodbye to the month of March. Hallelujah. I hope I don't see a month like that again for a really long time.

To say it's been a little crazy in our house is an understatement. Here is why:

Wes turned in to quite the business traveler. For three of the weeks in March, he was gone 4/5 business days! While many people instantly pity me for having to be a mom all alone, traveling that much is not enjoyable. Wes has definitely learned that his own bed and his own couch are much better than a hotel room. The one positive thing is that he's definitely securing our Southwest Companion Pass and free flights for many years to come.

I developed a new-found respect for working moms. Let me re-phrase, single working moms. Because with Wes' travel schedule I was flying solo a good portion of the month and of course this is the month that work kicked by butt. I'm usually only in the office one day a week but in the month of March I was there all day, every day for 3 weeks straight working on a m-a-s-s-i-v-e project that is finally over. And when I say m-a-s-s-i-v-e, I mean a 1,000 page RFP document with over 50 sections that Dana and I were in charge of managing. Yes, I said 1,000 pages that had to be written and compiled by a group of us. And then we had to make 10 sets of it. It was a real treat. Luckily we had many people ready to help whenever we asked for anything. And I mean, anything. I felt like I was back at BYU working on my final advertising campaign that occupied my life for months. This project even involved kinko's at midnight the night before it was due.

Luckily Wes was able to be in town the last two days before my deadline so he could pick up Nate at the end of the day and get him in bed without me worrying about it. Wes took some photos on one of their nightly walks . . .

Take a look at Nate's tongue. This is exactly what Wes and Grandpa G. do when they are focusing!

My mom deserves a Grandma of the Year award for taking Nate ALOT and I'm VERY grateful to Kiley for taking on a second job of taking care of Nate when my mom couldn't. And Kiley gets a treat every time she watches Nate - he ALWAYS poops at least once for Kiley. It must be his way of saying that he likes her. I consider myself very lucky to have these two around to take care of my little dude while I'm gone. I didn't worry about Nate for one minute while I was at work so much.

I'm definitely ready to be a stay at home working mama again so I can actually spend some time with my little dude. Being gone from 9-6 every day is a long day without him! He's probably wondering what the heck just happened.

While there were moments of fun in the month of March, I'm excited to say adios.
