Well it's nearing the end of August and I can't believe it. So much fun has happened this summer, and I'm scared and excited at the same time for the summer to end and school to begin. Outside of the hundreds of weddings that have taken place we have been filling our summer with gobs of fun and adventure. Hiking, boating, swimming, camping, shopping, swimming and more swimming. I love summer in Utah more then anything. I love being able to just go up into the beautiful mountains. It is such a blessing to live near them and to be able to take advantage of all the fun they have to offer us. I don't think I could ever move away from the mountains after being here for for two years now. I mean, I would take California though...they have mountains there!
This past weekend was The Woodward Dream Cruise, and I am beyond sad to have missed it. Last year Tanner and I flew in for the Cruise and we has so much fun. The dream cruise is somthing that I was raised with. Not only does it give me the opportunity to continue a tradition in our family but it also brings to town all of our closest friends. I love being able to see my Uncle Bob and Aunt Shirley when they come in from Florida, and all the others that come into town for the simple reason of the cruise. It's just so much fun. That is something I'm grateful for is having a family that goes beyond family. All my Dad's friends from High School are called uncle and their kids are my cousins, that's just how it is. I love the illusion we have created of having a huge family. Maybe this is the reason I want a huge family myself. Anyway, my Dad made an amazing POSTER to sell at the cruise! It's pretty amazing the things we can do with photoshop and computers now a days.
Tuesday Cammie D is arriving in Utah! I hope everyone is as excited as I am, and they should be. Apparently we are going to Vegas! We're staying in a new hotel called The Wynn, and going to see a Cirque De Solie show! I am so excited. I love when my Mom comes to town, it gives me the chance to show her my life and help her feel comfortable with her little girl being 2000 miles away. I can't understand how it feels, and once day when my kids leave I'm sure I will then understand the tears she cries still do this day, when thinking about the fact that I'm gone. Bless her heart, she is such a Gem. I am so glad that my Mom and I have grown so much closer in the last two years. It just happened that when I left, I also grew up, and realized how much she means to me. She is such blessing and I'm so happy to have her for my Mother.
I have figured out that I am a clone of my Dad, I am just like him in everyway. My Dad has this never ending desire to always please my Mom and make her happy. He is as sensative as they come, and has absolutely no trouble showing it. He writes wheepy and deep love notes, to not only my Mother but also to his kids, family and friends. He has no trouble expressing himself to anyone and everyone, with Elizabeth Dudek as your mother that is to be expected. He loves, and he loves hard. He may fight and argue with her for a moment, but shortly after you can always find him sitting in his chair with his head down, his feelings minoryly hurt, and his slightly confidence shaken. Yes, I'm a Dudek. I once asked my grandma "when you and grandpa were frist married (she was just 18) and he was mean and would yell at you, did you ever think to yourself that maybe you had made a wrong choice?" I could almost feel her smile through the phone as she told me "No, never. I loved him more then anything, him yelling at me or our fighting was not going to change that. He was young and so was I, I didn't mind being patient while he became a husband. I was just happy to be his wife." I was brought to tears in hearing my Grandma say this, and overjoyed as well. I love when i talk to my grandma about things because it does remind me of Tanner and I a lot. I feel that our love is just like theirs, rare, worked through and eventually will be perfect as theirs was. I am so happy with tanner and I. I love him, and i can't wait to be with him for eternity. We as women we ready, we're yearning and our desire is to became a wife and a mother. Our ability to love and to endure for the sake of love is among the miracles of the world.
