Waiting around while the adventure continues

I've been lazy. All I've been doing is playing for the last three weeks and I'm too lazy to blog about it. It's nice to take a break from the routine once in a while!

Bennett, Leah, and I have been having a great time in Utah. It's been pretty nice having a full time nanny (grandma). And manny (grandpa). I've done so much shopping with all this freedom! I never got to do that before (and probably won't for a LONG time)! I have three weeks worth of stuff thrown all over the bedrooms and since we are in the basement, it doesn't matter! Other than the occasional load of laundry, I've hardly lifted a finger (sorry, mom. But not really). We've had a weekend in Park City with my sisters, a few days in Bear Lake, tons of eating out, shopping, seeing old friends, play, play, play, reading books, being lazy. And, oh yeah, taking care of two kids by myself. Except when nanny and manny step in. :)

But, we miss Keith. His trip is coming to an end. Today marks three weeks. He called today and it was the first time we were able to actually talk for a quick couple of minutes. He tried about a week ago but the connection was terrible. He's been able to e-mail but only a handful of times as there's not a lot of connectivity out on the backroads of Iceland.

I know that he's had a good time and there are tons of good stories to be told. I can't wait! This one especially needs some explaining.....I received the following e-mail yesterday after a whole week of no contact. He had been riding through the most barren, desolate section of Iceland:
"Hey, I am back and fine. The sandflats did not explode but a few other things did. You´ll get to hear all about it this weekend. Let's just say that it took a little longer than expected and when I finally landed I only had one peice of flatbread left. sorta like a dry tortillia. Those rain pants that were a little snug...they fit fine now."

I don't know the details. All I know is that he is safe. And probably hungry. But I'm sure he's still smiling! Either way there is a good story waiting to be told. He'll be here Saturday. Stay tuned!!!
