Long Time


Well, here it is the end of July and I haven't posted in a while. Life has been crazy. Work is stressful. I never realized being in a higher position at work would be so challenging. It seems co-workers don't like it when you move up a position and they have no shame in telling it to your face. I need to develop a thick skin and I'm working on that, in the meantime it sucks.

In other news. Lava was fun. On Friday, a group of us got there early and had a community dinner and then sat around and talked till really late. It got really cold that night, colder than usual. We hit the low 40's. I forgot a jacket, socks and only had one blanket. Usually that is enought, but this time I almost froze on Friday night. Saturday, we slept in and then made breakfast. A bunch of people went down the river and to the pool. I hung around the campsite visiting and then went to town with a bunch of them. That night after dinner, 4 of us ladies, decided to ditch the men and go to the hot springs on our own. It was really hot, even the mildest pool was pretty hot. We had a lot of fun just chit chatting with each other. We didn't get back to the campsite till after 11. Needless to say we were not cold that night. On Sunday we left early and headed home. It was a lot of fun and I'm glad we do this every summer.

Not much else is happening. Mike and I have been house hunting, but haven't found what we are looking for. We are not totally sure if we will move or just fix up our house.

On the 24th of July one of Mike's aunts died suddenly of a heart attack. She was on of his dads sisters. A very nice lady. It was sad to hear she died.

That's all for now. Next weekend Mike and I are headed to Idaho to see my parents and to go to the open house of the Twin Falls Temple. I'm really excited to see it. I'll post pictures of the temple later.

Isn't moving up in the world great - I remember the same thing happening when I got off the phones, seemed for a long time that I was one of the most hated people in the building. Looks like you guys are having all sorts of fun this summer. Come look @ houses by us, they're super cute (and surprisingly affordable)! We need to play soon!
