Busy, Busy, Busy…

Hello Friends! I promised myself I was going to be better at the whole blogging thing (since it's pretty much my journal), but time is slipping through our fingers over here at the Basinger residence.  Mostly because we are keeping so busy.  Last week included dinner with our friend Dee from DC (who we met on our honeymoon).  She was in town for business and we were so excited she would take a little time to come hang out with us.

We also got to go to a Bees game with Matt and Holly; there is no picture though… Chance is very good at avoiding pictures!

In other news, Chance worked 72 hours last week – oh ya.  I guess that’s what happens when you get two jobs instead of one. It's another 60 hours this week - graveyards. Yuck!

Poor guy comes home absolutely exhausted! 

We are starting to gear up for our trek this summer.  I am attempting to find ‘pioneer clothes’ for us.  What this really means is that I had to find a bonnet and an apron and now I need to go to DI to buy old clothes that can be thrown away when we are done.  I’m still looking for some kind of breathable hat for Chance.  If you have ideas of a good & inexpensive one, let me know.  He has threatened to wear an umbrella hat so he can bring his own shade. Can't wait to show you the outfits i'm coming up with.  ;) I'm also loving researching my pioneer ancestors and brushing up on their stories. (Days of '47 for life)

If you have a great pioneer story I would love to hear it!

Love,
Star

  1. Fun!
    Dressed in white has some really cute pioneer clothing and they also have hats for guys. I know the south Jordan location has their clothing out. I'd have to double check with my mom(she works there) about the brickyard store which is closer to you.

  2. For a boy who doesn't like pictures I'm sure Chance loves the one of him sleeping like that. Ha ha. He's such a hard worker. I love that you are blogging again. It makes me want to start back up.....

  3. I don't know if you still need pioneer clothes, but you can totally raid my mom's costume closet. We have a whole bunch of aprons and bonnets.

  4. Thanks Justine and Jess, I will let you know if I need some help with our clothes! And Mary, Chance doesn't like pics, but he can't do much when he's sleeping. ;)
