I had the most incredible 2 days up in the Mountains last week. Jula's family called me and invited me to join them at Keystone for a couple days, they were spending the week skiing. That was an easy decision for me....ABSOLUTELY!!

Jula was so much fun, just the most adorable little girl. It is such a privelege to spend time with her family and to be a part of her life. She asked me a question that has had me thinking about it for 2 weeks now...and considering the fact that I still don't know how to respond...I suppose I will be pondering it for days to come.

We were sitting out in the hot tub...snow falling on our faces....and she says "mommy Cheryl, how do you feel about being a princess?" I don't remember ever being asked that or even thinking of myself as a princess for that matter...I finally said "you know Jula, I don't feel very much like a princess" and she quickly said "is that because you're a queen?"

hummm...why don't I feel like a princess? ....good questions coming from a 4 year old.
