Dear Arizona,
It's not you ..it's me. Okay it is you. Your too hot for me I had to leave. You understand don't you? Much love - Leisel.
(No I am not dating this cutie pie. He's 16 but I am hoping he'll wait for Berlin because we both loved him!)
So the past several weeks have been action packed. I went to Lake Powell for 5 days followed by a Pine family reunion. Then straight back up to Utah for the second time in 2 months so that Berlin could spend time with the Decker's. She had a blast exploring the outdoors all week with her dad. I spent most of my time in Utah with my sister Heidi , Jean , and Jacque Decker. I made a few connections with some Utah friends and overall had a great trip. I wish I could have seen everyone I wanted to that week. I ran into an old friend in Utah who invited me to come celebrate the 4th of July in Montana with a large group of people who all have second homes in Montana. I refused the offer several times over thinking I couldn't possibly go out of town for the 6th time in approx 2 1/2 months. Too much time off work. Too much time away from Berlin. Well long story short after many rebuttals and an extended invitation to bring Berlin along with me I decided heck why not? It's not every day you get an invitation to step into lifestyles of the rich and the famous. O.k. that might be exaggerated but I can't even begin to describe how amazing this place was. Who knew Montana was so gorgeous? I didn't. The water was so clear and clean it looked like Carribean water. The weather was absolutely perfect. The colors in the picture of the sunset were not photo shopped. That is exactly what it looked like in person. Breathtaking! Usually when I go somewhere I have to leave Berlin behind and I was looking forward to getting to have several uninterrupted days of quality time with her. The cabin we stayed out was sooooo nice and right on the lake. Berlin and I had a blast on the boat, jet ski, and raft rides. It was an unforgettable trip and a lot of bonding took place. Since being home from that trip she has been so attached to me and she has never been a real clingy baby so I am enjoying her constant hugs since being home. Aaaghhh.. back to reality...
