Summer At Last!

Sooooo much has happened, where do I start? (Do I say that every time?)



SCHOOL IS OUT! I wish I could say I am more sad than happy, and maybe that will be the case after summer camp, when I know I am not going back, but mostly the last day was HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!! I love knowing that I am not going back any more as a teacher. I have to be honest, I love teaching one on one (piano), but the classroom was never my forte. I find my passion is much more in line with the administrative side of things... the organizing. I love creating and seeing things take shape. It was an overwhelming task, but I know I made a difference, and the program is better because I was there. What a great feeling! Rare indeed! Now if only I could feel that way about my food storage...

Then there was my birthday! YEAH and CRAP at the same time! 27 is starting to feel really old, especially when my childhood friends are onto their third child!! I had a great birthday, starting with a husband who spent the week before in a mad panic trying to figure out what to do. I told him that I wanted to choose this year, and it worked out great, because I was worn out with school ending. We spent Friday night at dinner with some friends, and Jared made a FABULOUS cake (all things chocolate this year!) and then we spend Saturday getting ready for Tonya and her family to come visit, and we even started registering for out little baby. By the way, baby's current name is Baby J (little Jared) as we are still at a zero count for names we both like! If that is not an overwhelming task, then I don't know what is! It was honestly just a wonderful day of hanging out with my honey and being happy! Thanks babe!

Which brings us to Tonya's visit! Man I love that girl! The first thing she did was my hair, what an awesome birthday present! Yes, the truth is I am a blond again. Gotta love summer. The rest of the three days were spent at the pool, (thanks tons Charmaine for the key!) and boy is little Deuce becoming quite the fish! He could have stayed all day! And Nate looked like quite the relaxed father in his floating "man chair". I only wish I had pictures! They were so brave to visit when we hit 105 degrees, and I even heard someone else say they were cold by the end! Funny what Vegas does to you. We had a great time, and I can now say I am the current expert on Sponge Bob.

Baby does not seem to stop moving now that he is big enough to be felt, and I keep trying to help Jared catch it! Sadly, he does not move on demand!

Today, I am very very grateful for chocolate birthday cake, as I plan to eat the last piece!!
