Here’s a recap of the way things have been around here..
HOT- this summer has been brutally hot and humid so far.
AWESOME- I have taken the summer off from school and have LOVED the way that it has worked out for me. We had an amazing trip to Florida and the end of May where we enjoyed hanging with the Florida fam, snorkeling, a Rays game (and Hall and Oates concert!! :) shopping, and lots of food and fun.
We also took a trip to Vegas about a week after we got back from Florida. Vegas was SO hot. I love how people try to compare the heats and minimize it by saying “It’s a dry heat” (that actually became our joke)! It’s actually a scorching heat, it just doesn’t make your hair freak out. The swear pouring off your body takes care of that!! :) It was a great trip, though. And I could easily see us going back someday. We toured Hoover Dam, spent a day on a boat on Lake Mead, chilled in the hotel, walked the strip, and saw lots of cool stuff. Oh, yeah- and Dan went to a Convention. Which was why we went in the first place. :)
I didn’t take a lot of pics on either trip, so I may post a few later, but none today. Sorry :)
SLOW- Dan’s parents bought his sister a house, so Dan put our remods on hold in order to finish her house as they want her to move in ASAP. I can’t wait to get ours done. It has been since March, so I am looking forward to seeing the end result. Hopefully, sometime soon. Keep your fingers crossed!!
CHILL- I am enjoying not having classes. I have signed up for TWO in the fall. I am afraid it’s more than I should handle. We will see. In the meantime, I am enjoying the downtime I have.
A STRESS POINT – I am scheduled to take a huge exam for work in September. I have put this exam off for THREE YEARS, so I am not looking forward to it. But how cool would it be to pass it and not have it hanging over my head anymore?!? I am on Chapter 5 of 15. Wish me luck!!
FAMILY- FUL – My aunt Connie was here for a week. Fun! Uncle Randy and Aunt Pat came home the following week, so that was cool! Lots of time for family and friends, we are liking that.
It has pretty much been one of the best summers ever. Hope yours is just as good ;)
