Stuff

I often wonder what makes me want to blog or not blog....I think sometimes it's because things just happen so quickly and I don't have the time or energy. Other times it's because I am going through things I don't want to or can't discuss here. But honestly I think it's just simply a lack of desire to write. I am not a writer.... and life...just feels too full of...stuff.
Right now,what is my life like riiiiight now? Vern and I are both running our butts of with work and smoked cheese orders and holidays and....life in general. All the reasons that make me start to actually look forward to the 400 mile road trip home for Christmas. It gives Vern and I 400 miles to reconnect and relax before the holiday starts in full swing. In the meantime, I have become an official lover of Amazon and have done most of my online shopping there.Now I wait patiently for it all to arrive at my doorstep. Until then,my shopping just doesn't feel "done".
 Vern's cold smoked cheese hobby is quickly becoming profitable. We are now delivering our first cheese orders!Vern cold smoked,sliced (with his fancy new electric slicer),packaged and labeled almost 20 pounds of cheese (with my help) and it looks beautiful! So proud of him!
The kids are good,still keeping us busy,making us laugh,or driving us crazy! Max is happy as long as she has her Momma so these long days I have been working have been a little rough for her. She is stuck home with "the boys" and usually insists her Daddy hold her or at least lay and snuggle with her so she can have her afternoon nap...and wins. Chipper gets his turn at the new groomer on Saturday so he can be all handsome for our visit to Grandma and Grandpa's house next week....oh wait have I even explained that?!....
 Guess what?! Vern,Chipper,Maxine and I are headed to Idaho for Christmas this year! It will be Vern and Maxine's first time having a traditional Chubb family Christmas!We are excited to be heading off on vacation in Idaho for the holiday this year where we are pretty much guaranteed a white Christmas. It's been too long since I have gone for a walk in the snow on Christmas day or felt the crunch of many inches of fresh snow under my feet! It's so true the little things you miss when you grow up aren't always what you expect. I know there were many times I swore I would never miss snow! HA!And on another level,it's another wonderful first,our first North Idaho Christmas as a happy little family,I am so ready to make some happy new memories! My Mom getting her first laptop,our kids acting all goofy in the snow and sharing it all with the man I love.
Ok,that's enough stuff for now.I  might check in again or you might not hear from me for the rest of the year? Depends on stuff ;)
