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.

Mother's Day Weekend

Mike and I had a great Mother's day weekend this year. On Saturday, we visited his mom and gave her some new shoes. On Sunday, we drove up to Idaho and visited with my mom. I made her homemade Manicotti and we watched the Jazz game. Thank goodness they won. I don't think it would have been a good drive home yesterday if they lost. Mike is a HUGE fan of the Jazz. So much so that if they lose he will not talk to anyone the rest of the night, it's pretty funny. For Mother's day I gave my mom a copy of the Josh Groban Dvd. This concert was filmed here in Salt Lake. My mom was supposed to go to that concert with me and Mike, but she had foot surgery and couldn't make it. So I took a friend of mine with me and we had a great time. The concert was great, but even better we got to shake Josh's hand. On the dvd it shows Matt and I shaking hands with him. It's track 11 on the dvd. You can see a little bit of Mike too. I have yet to get a copy of this dvd, but I can't wait to see the whole thing again. Thanks mom for a fun weekend. Sorry it was so short. You and Lu Jean are the best moms two people could ask for. Love you.
