Celebrity Status October 29, 2007
Posted by Emily in : Daily Life, Family, Friends, My Former Dog Children, My Handsome Husband, Princess Hannah, Thoughts, Trips , trackbackI feel like a celebrity. Everywhere I go, people are welcoming me back to the island. They all seem to know where I went and for how long. This “welcome” back to the island took me off guard at first. I had forgotten how everyone seems to know the comings and goings of the island. I know I am not a celebrity, but this must be similar to how they feel when people ask them about their travels.
I was certainly missed around my house. Not only did David profess his undying love for me in attempt to convince me to never leave him again for that long, but Paris’ and Kyaha’s hearts practically lept out of their bodies and basically had a heart attack right there on the patio. Crazy, excited dogs. My fridge also spoke to me, “Please, clean me out, give me a bath, and feed me!” Judging by the food in the fridge, (or lack thereof) I am 100% sure David ate like crap while I was gone. And I don’t mean crap like junk food, because at least that is food. I mean crap like a sleeve of Ritz crackers for dinner, or whatever else he could find that was stale and unfulfillable. Yuk. Good thing I’m home to reclaim my post as “family chef” and “family maid”.
I am back in the swing of things, which is pretty much like being on vacation. I have been busy this week working on a few projects that I will post pictures of later. I promised to post pictures of my trip, so here are some of the highlights:
This is my twin brother Brian. I know, David and I look more alike than he and I do.
This is my sister Jenn and her husband Scott (with Hannah of course). I visited them in Southern California.
This is a photo of Hannah her her cousin Zack (9 years old) who lives in California. He is so cute holding her hand!
This is my best friend Katie. She now lives next door to my parents in Utah. Very crazy. She mentioned to me that we have been friends for almost 20 years. YIKES! I don’t think I can be that old!
David’s sisters Janine and Sheri and his mom. This was taken at the (Janine) Harmon Ranch house in the Provo Canyon.
Saba isn’t the only beautiful place to photograph. This is some of the fall foliage up Provo Canyon.
This is Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon. I used to bike up to this waterfall from my parents house.
Um . . .ya . . . this is the Porsche Cayenne Hannah and I got to drive around for a bit. It actually belongs to Angie, my sister-in-law. It was nice to drive something so nice. Our car on Saba is such a piece of junk compared to this!
This is the kitchen in the “mansion”. It is so beautiful, this photo does not do it justice. I enjoyed cooking up a few meals for my brother and his family in this amazing kitchen.
This is Hannah with David’s parents. Check out Hannah’s mile long lashes!
Hannah playing Daniel’s piano in Texas. She was quite good! 
This is Ashley and Melanie Bonnett (well, her last is now McNutt). Melanie’s baby, Elizabeth, is exactly nine months younger than Hannah. We saw them in Texas.
Yes, this is Hannah and Redd (Caroline and Orrin’s kid) making out. Aren’t they cute?!
I had a wonderful trip to the states, but I am glad to be back in my own environment. I am glad to get Hannah back in her crib and happy to have my two dogs following me around like my shadow. It’s nice to be home.

Welcome back! We’ve all missed you here on Saba, although certainly not as much as David.
Holy moly, that kitchen is fantastic! I can only imagine the rest of the mansion. Wow!
I’m so glad I got to see you for a while back in the old neighborhood. It looks like your trip was so much fun! It’s fun to see pics of your family that I haven’t seen forever..and katie too–it’s been a while. Enjoy life back to normal as you know it.
Welcome home!! I’m sure you hubby was so very excited to see you. It looks like you had a blast on your tripe. How fun to get to catch up on so many people. I can’t believe Melanie’s baby. I left when she was pregnant. It was fun seeing all those pictures of people I knew.
