Makes me Smile --Part 2

Another little gem:

What do YOU do in the Summertime?

Makes me Smile

I have been cleaning up the mess of picture and video files on my laptop lately and I came across ...

This little Gem

 

One of the Webre's best family home videos, I think :)

 

Enjoy!

21. Time to Party!

July 22 was my birthday!

This is me... decorating my own cake. That nobody else ate. (apparently my husband and in-laws are not "cake people")

 But Evan made the cake anyway, AND he bought me new Adobe Design software! 

...  :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)  ...

Evan had some super-duper fun plans for us but unfortunately they were all dashed due to:

1. The massive heat wave (100+ degrees)and

2. MORE car troubles. The third trouble, to be exact. In three months of marriage. $2,000 worth of troubles.

Yep.

So the plans were ruined. However, we did get out and wander around Home and Appliance stores, testing the Tempur-Pedic beds and dreaming about some day, maybe, being able to afford one.

ALSO. Let's not forget that 22 is my lucky number. AND I just started my 22nd year of life :) :) :) So... I expect that this year will be a pretty spectacular one.

Extra Time

The company that Evan is doing his internship with is struggling a bit. They cut his time down to four days a week. Kind of a bummer, financially. But there's nothing we can do about it, so we decided to just be glad that we get more time together

However... our first extra day together, we found that we had SO MUCH time that we didn't even know what to do with it! We found ourselves sitting around, watching TV and playing computer games. 


So to remedy the boredom we....

 Played with sidewalk chalk

 

Ran through the Sprinklers

And ate a whole stack of Otter Pops

  PLUS! to top off a perfect Summer day my studly husband made us dinner.

LOVE!

Pennsylvania is for Pennsylvanians

Good news :) I booked a flight home in August for Jason's wedding and other family festivities! Wooooo!

I can't say I'm a huge fan of Pennsylvania. It just... isn't home. Also, there are many large and extremely disturbing insects living in our house. They don't make the best company while Evan's gone to work. However, we're trying to make the most of our time here. Last weekend we made a trip out to New York to see the Hill Cumorah Pageant.  

It was spectacular.

Wooooo! The Church is true!

Stephen and Cheryl came with.

We slept in a tent.

We did a session in the Palmyra temple.

And we saw other Palmyra sites including the Smith Family property, Sacred Grove and the print shop where the First edition of the Book of Mormon was printed.

Cool Stuff.
