CHICAGO

Here are a few photos from our spring break trip!
Jenny was our hostess. We saw nine law schools, and a few sights in the "windy city."
March turned out to be kind of a whirlwind --livening up our quiet routine at home in Logan. We have needed a family trip for a long time. As soon as we found out that one of the schools would pay for Jared to come visit, I started planning a trip with a fury. It took the few weeks before spring break for me to prepare for leaving Michael and Jordan. Then the week after to get back on track at home. It was a real blessing to know the boys wouldn't miss us while they were spoiled by grandmas and aunts back in Utah.
We are feeling more and more ready to make the leap into law school and out of Logan at the end of the summer.

SHOES

I love shoes and have always loved shoes. I don't have a lot of favorites or things I enjoy just for the sake of enjoyment, so I gladly claim and recognize my love of shoes.
I remember a few special pair of sneakers I wore in grade school, and several monk-strap style Sunday shoes I chose throughout the years.
I admit that there have been a few times when my closet contained too many pair of shoes. I have a hard time discarding even old or out-of-style ones. Having a few sisters and a mom with my same shoe size helps in collecting hand-me-downs. There are shoes for every occasion (sometimes for that occasion that never happens, but I have to keep the shoe in case).
I have done well in the past few years to keep a minimal and modest shoe inventory. --mostly comprised of a pair of Mommy-shoes or everyday loafer type.
Last week I enjoyed replacing my old pair of Mommy-shoes with a new pair and having an occasion to wear some non-Mommy ones as well. The shoe fettish lives on.
