See, I feel better already.
We have a busy week ahead of us, here at the Johnson Zoo. We are going to have 2 visitors at once! One is a friend from Texas who is actually moving to Bethel, AK. She'll be visiting "the big city" for a few days before she goes NW to Bethel. If you want to google Bethel, you'll see why Anchorage would be considered a metropolitan city. Seriously.
The other visitor is my friend Karen from Denver (yes, this is where the Botox fun comes into play). We're going to do some serious Alaska-type living while she's here.. hiking, biking, looking semi-homeless, not shaving our legs. No. Really :) I think Karen will love it up here. At least I hope she loves it enough so that she feels compelled to make return (touch-up) visits every 4-6 months :)
About 4 hours after Karen leaves us, the kids and I will board our now standard red-eye flight to Phoenix! We are all really excited to see the family (and meet new baby Evie) and hang out in an oven. It's been like 70's here (which is BOILING for Anchorage..their all-time recorded high temp is only like 83) and my kids are complaining that they're hot. I am seriously considering turning on the oven and making them stand in front of it for 60 seconds to prepare them for AZ at its finest. Myself, I'm looking forward to good sales on summer sweaters, a spa day, dinner at a winebar, seeing my friend Jackie (who lives in Anchorage.. we can't seem to hook up in town but we'll see each other in AZ), seeing my other friends who I don't see nearly enough.... and on and on. There won't be enough time....
I'll leave you with a "before Karen's visit" recent photo of myself.. and what I hope she can achieve in a few tiny pokes of a needle and some deadly poison..
Me, after 1 short year with the Raptor as "the other woman"....
Me after Botox... I CAN HOPE! Besides, we both have blonde hair and brown eyes....

Hilarious! Have fun in AZ. I'm actually jealous even though I'm in Spain, where it's really hot with no AC. At least in AZ you can go from one air-conditioned zone to another! Give hugs to everyone for me!
Whine all you want - I whine when Jake leaves for nine hours a day. "Do you really have to go to work?" "But, why?"...he loves it. Put your kids into the oven...not just in front of it. It is that hot here...seriously. At least they can go live in the poll at Uncle Troy and Aunt Melissa's...which may start to feel like a bath. So, the Botox pics are awesome...so funny. We cannot wait to see you guys! Cannot believe it is only a week away!
I hope you have a great trip to Arizona and it helps you pass the time while Clayton is gone. I know he has been gone a lot since you have moved there and that can't be easy or fun, but I am so glad you have tons of great family and friends that come visit you and give you so much support...I can say I envy that...and you seem to enjoy Alaska and have made some great friends there and that has to help! Lots of love, have fun and hugs from us!
