The Gee Family Update

Its been a bit since my last post and I just wanted to catch up on all we have been up to.

Chris has been out of town having a great old time presenting a poster in Florida. Came home to a whirl wind week of non stop motion here. We had a blast celebrating The Hiatt family this last week. Since we work a lot with the youth we couldn't be happier to Celebrate them. They had a Eagle Scout thing on Thursday, Friday I took their family pictures, and Saturday they had a wedding. What a great family and truly loved by everyone in the ward. That's why I keep telling my brother that they have a girl his age in Utah, small hint "Matt".

To make my week even better we celebrated Mothers Day starting on Thursday. First, I have to tell you how my day started. I was lying in bed when I heard this great big crash. I mean BIG CRASH. I wanted to stay in bed. Those days you know are just not going to be great. I got up and went into my closet where I heard the noise. To my great surprise my whole top rack of my closet was lying on my closet floor, with six or so wholes in my wall. NICE! Just what I needed. Well, Christopher decided for his Mother's Day presentation he was going to wear his Tux. It was so cute. So there was no way I could go in my PJ's so I just stuck my arm in my closet and pulled shooting for black since that is usually the safest bet. Jenny Jacob's had a Mothers Day event at school for Noah so we swapped and I am sure now she might wish she hadn't of. Since I asked her to help me with my closet. I couldn't of done it without her help. We pulled it all out and put it in my room and took care of it on Saturday. What a pain. I did get Chris to clean out all those extra scrubs he has been hording so it might of been worth it just for that. He did a great job cleaning it up and fixing it.

Mothers Day was awesome. All I am going to say is Pedicure- flowers- lunch to myself-breakfast with the kids and all the decor- I didn't have to do a thing. I loved it! It was so nice to feel appreciated even though. I just might not of deserved it. I think coming out of surgery, makes you tired. Then having a husband leave and on top of it all I have been waking up early to get stuff done. Well great recipe for cranky mom to say the least. I am feeling well loved and hope I will start being myself again. I am excited for my mom to come. Chris and I are heading to Charleston for a get away. I can't wait. Thanks so much MOM! For doing this.

We had a fun get together with a bunch of friend here. They have finished up all their work and are heading in all different directions. I have to say I am really going to miss quite a few of them and know there will that void. I am excited for them. We had a fun Picnic FHE with all of them. We had about a good 20 families and the park was seriously packed with kids. We should of put up a sign saying something like. The MORMONS ARE COMING. Those salads were so yummy. Well, tell next time.
I will add pictures later.

Rachel,
I haven't read your blog for so long and it was fun to catch up, but wow, surgery for you and Jackson? I'm glad you're all doing OK. It's so fun to see your family grow and by the way you look fabulous! What is Chris's vacation like for next year? We were thinking it might be fun to come to North Carolina and see the Outer Banks in September and maybe stop by to hang out with our favorite Gees for awhile, what do you think? Email me at tlborg@hotmail.com and let me know what you think. Also, I'm noticing Adria's comment on the left, how do you know the Taylors? They are in our ward here in C-ville, we are in Beehives together, small world! Hug your cute kids for us and get another pedicure, you've had too much going on!
