July Weekends are the BEST!

This weekend was one of those weekends I will always remember. It was warm, sunny, I have all my responsibilities under control, I'm in love with my husband and best of all... I'm childless and free to go have fun!

Saturday we got up, I made a new waffle recipe. Then we cut Gary's hair and got ready for the day. Sid showed up then we went out to do our chores (filled up with gas and deposited checks). The rest of the afternoon was spent just relaxing and hanging out. I made a home made BBQ chicken pizza. It was pretty good! After feeding all the boys I took a nice little nap.

After watching Swing Vote, Gary decided it was a good night to go for a midnight cruise. Eric, Gary and I then spent the next few hours just driving around on the bikes. We stopped at Sonic and tried their new Chillers. It was pretty much a milkshake, yum! The way home was beautiful! The moon was shining over the mountains. The air was perfectly warm and filled with fresh scents of summer and I was holding on to Gary. It was simply perfect.

As we were driving and I was admiring the moment I realized that one day I'll be old, and less able to get out and just go. I of course was thinking of the residents at work, thinking about how they all had their own perfect moments in their youth. It made me want to bottle it all up and remember this time of my life forever, which is why I'm writing about it!

I just hope I can always remember how blessed I am to be where I am, to have what I have and to cherish each phase I am living in life. I hope I can always soak up the beauty in my life and appreciate all that I have. To me, that is what makes life worth living.

Changes?

Expecting a big change soon! (Thats all, no hints or questions.)

May, June and Now... JULY!!!

I feel really bad for not writing for 2 months!! Yikes! We have had a lot of fun though. Gary turned 24, and I learned he would rather have his day ignored then celebrated. His parent's came to Provo to take Mark and his friends to EFY. We spent a Sunday on Temple square and the rest of the week just hanging out (slack lining, eating the best french toast in the world, meeting more family....). I really enjoyed their visit.

Gary has been in and out of a few jobs. He's currently a manager of a call center that is struggling. He also works full time at another call center taking inbound calls. As for me, I'm still in LOVE with my job at the Charleston. I now work about 40 hours a week. I'm doing activities on Tuesdays. When summer is over I'll just do reception 5 days a week. Now that I'm used to it, working full time is piece of cake! I still have plenty of time to make the house spotless, make new dinners and have fun! (and the hours are really good on the bank!).

Now we are in Preston Idaho for the holiday weekend. There are 20 people here! My family is here from Washington, Preston and Jen are here with their kids and the Allreds are here as well. It's crazy but a lot of fun!!! I'm REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO TONIGHT!!!

Happy Independence Day!!
