Hello? Earth to Rachel! Come In, Rachel!

Hi there. It's me. And...it's March. The END of March. But hey! I'm not dead! 

So let's get to some updates on how 2025 is going for the Preslar family.

I think I'll start with the first week of the new year. For the Preslar gals that meant a trip to Hale Center Theater for a little Beauty and the Beast. And by the way, if I repeat myself at all, please just forgive me. I can't remember what I said or didn't say in my last few blog posts. And since it's a miracle that I'm sitting down at the computer at all I think it's best for me to spend the time actually writing and not reviewing. Anyway. Beauty and the Beast!

One of Romney's besties is a big theater fan and has a birthday in November, so Romney asked if we could get her a ticket to join us for the show. It was delightful to have her with us. And of course Hale put on quite a spectacle. They always do. Sometimes I feel guilty that Hale is my favorite, because I know it's very spectacle-focused. Lots of razzle dazzle. And maybe I feel like if I were a true theatergoer I would try to be a little more high brow. But I confess, I love the razzle. And the dazzle. Bring it on. 

Also in that first week of the year I went to visit my co-worker Carly who had a baby in November. She has a little 2-year-old girl as well. Carly and I bonded right off the bat when I started working - she took over some training for me since the person who was supposed to train me for a couple of days suddenly got very busy by winning the Miss Utah contest. So Carly kindly took me on and I just loved her right away. She decided to not return to the profession now that she has these two babes and I don't blame her. But I sure do miss her. I had a great time playing granny - bringing dinner, holding the baby, getting smothered by two doggies and ignored by a toddler. 

Also, I was very proud of Emma for getting her driving permit! Driving at our house always seems to be the can that gets kicked down the road. I'm trying to be better - Emma got her permit and we have driven a few times. But not enough, that's for sure. The reason why is the same reason it has taken me three months to get back to blogging, which I will eventually get to. But yay Emma!

So after another delightful and too-short and not-snowy-enough holiday season, 2025 got rolling off to a good start.
