Week Three

-








It's week three! Camp Gilead has two of my children and it is soooo quiet here. Valerie had to give her testimony in chapel and help with the songs up front. Ethan is missing his sisters! Ethan is home alone with us this week. He is probably so tired of us asking him what he wants to eat, what movies he wants to watch, and what he wants to do. I just finished my work rotation, slept for an exorbitant amount of hours, and I'm waiting for my husband to come home from his job. I have been extremely exhausted this week maybe because of the weather, or because of the late night barbecue party, or because I picked up a extra shift. I gave myself some grace today and allowed my body to catch up on some much-needed rest. I woke up at 7:15, refused to get OOB, spent time on Facebook, spent time blogging and then fell back to sleep till 1115. I'm so happy I did. I think Mark doesn't particularly like my laziness the day after a rotation is over but I truly don't care. I love this little pillow at the top right! Truly if you LOVE me then LET me sleep. He has been crazy busy teaching this summer. He had been on the couch grading his head off! I told Ethan we would go to the DMV this Friday for his permit and to ATT for his phone. His GF did the sweetest thing for him. She bought him a NKJV bible. It is leather, super manly, and it is a teen study bible. So sweet! I might even take him to church in Redmond this weekend. We will see!

Calling All Women

The Challenge: Have as many women as I can interpret what I meant by "Spending ever day looking for new ways to reinvent our relationship." Please leave your comments so that I know I wasn't speaking a foreign language with my spouse. Men, feel free to comment as well! I'm sure you will anyways. Conversation with hubby: Me: I have a New Years Resolution that I think would be fun for us, do you want to hear it? Man: Sure Me: I think every day we should look for new ways to reinvent our relationship? Man: What do you mean? Me: I just said what I meant. Man: No you didn't really explain what you mean, though. Me: You know, finding little things that would change our relationship...doing something each day. Man: That seems taxing! Me: Working on our relationship is work? Man: Yeah, I wouldn't know what to do. That's 365 days, you know. Me: There are calendars out there that will tell you things to do that are romantic! Buy one. Man: Yeah, but most of them are ...

Monday, when we got back from our anniversary trip, found a note on the counter that read: Suzanne called. Play group. Tuesday at 830am. Who would schedule a playgroup so early? Doesn't anyone sleep in? Let the kids find their own breakfast, and stay under the covers till they beg for lunch? Well, you know heat here in the summers, ranging around the 100's, makes us southerners wake up early in the a.m. to do the things we enjoy. When noon rolls around, we hull up in our homes, doors tightly shut, curtains drawn, trying to escape the BIG BAD (the sun appropriately named, right Spike?)! I guess that was not in the cards for us today! We spent the early morning hours playing at the park with pretty much everyone from Journey! Unfortunately around 10 a.m. the heat found us and forced us to retreat to Suzanne's house for some relief! We had a great time chatting, the conversation ranged from ovulation...and ended with ovulation. I think Micheal enjoyed the conversation as much ...

My latest obsessions….puzzling The week after Coyote made a surprise visit! It’s been awhile since I posted! I was just looking back on some posts and giggled so I think it is important to continue since posts tell the story of my life. These pictures were from our latest venture to Paso Robles to see Coyote! Mark, I, and Charlie drove to Paso Robles California in approximately 18 hours. We stayed three glorious days and drove home within the sametime frame. While we were there, we got to see Hearst Castle, visited San Luis Obispo, saw the ocean and tons of beached Sea creatures, ate amazing food, drank amazing coffee, visited a couple of thrift stores, art galleries, and was surprised to find a outdoor vending machine full of specialty meats and cheeses. We purchased a cheese that was literally black all the way through. It was so good and tasty. It had a wonderful lemon taste to it and was very mild. Our Airbnb was located on a Vineyard. Coyote, Kees, and Pharaday even came over and ...
