Fun game

I got this from Mindy.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.

I'm excited to read everyone's comments!!!

The Sunny will come out...

This is the newest addition to our fix tank. I named him Sunny. He's a much needed splash of color to our tank!

I had today what I like to call, a much needed break from claustrophobia! Today was the first Saturday in many many months that Travis and I were both not working. So we just did...basically nothing! It was great! We ran little errands together, laid by the pool, tried to convince the dogs that they like to get in the water, bought a fish, and took a nap! I kept telling Travis all day that days like today keep me from the claustrophobic feeling of working. I remember being in school and just loving having the summers off to recharge. It's very hard to get used to not having a big chunk of time off anymore. But if I can't have 3 months off in the summer, I'll take days like today.

Miss you!

So this is the first day I've had in a few weeks to actually sit down and breathe, none the less blog! I've been catching up on reading everyone's blogs and it made me cry! Maybe I can convince even Mindy that teleporting is a valid idea now. I was very sad I couldn't make it to see everyone on the 4th-6th. Sarah-I did get your message and I wish I could meet your new little baby too. I'm sure you're loving having a little son around! Jill-Jack's room looks so good! And your family looks great in the play too! Every time I see little Heston I just want to burst! He's so adorable I can't even stand it. I love to see Steve around him too. It's obvious he so crazy about his new son!
It's been ridiculous how much I've had to work lately! I'm actually going in today (Saturday) to catch up. I was going to name this blog workaholic but that doesn't really describe it. I'm not addicted to working that much, nor do I enjoy it! I just feel like I'm treading in deep water and I have to keep moving or I'll go under!!! I'm sure it will get better soon, it's just very exhausting right now.
I need some family time to recharge my batteries! At the end of the summer I want to plan a weekend to be in Richfield, let's all go and have some family time!

New Bed

We ordered a cool new bed about 1 month ago and it finally came this weekend! It's a platform bed and it's very low to the ground. We stayed up until 1:30am on Friday putting it together then I rushed to West Elm on Saturday to redeem my gift cards for the pillows and duvet cover. I love it! Lots more space too!

NKOTB

So how did I not know about the New Kids reunion until now?? I was driving down the Las Vegas strip and almost crashed my car when I saw on the Mandalay Bay Marquee that the New Kids were coming in concert. For a second I thought I had driven into another demension or finally discovered time travel!

I'll have you know, I was right all along, Joey was the cutest one then AND now!

Tony the fish

No, this is not what Jane left on the carpet when we didn't let her out in time! Trav got some cool things in his fish tank this weekend! The first is this cool brain coral. I'm assuming we can all guess why it's called brain coral! Under the blue light it glows very florescent green.

The more exciting addition is this lion fish. This is Trav's most favorite fish. It's a rare kind of lion fish called a Radiota and he's been trying to get one since he first got a fish tank 2 years ago but none of the fish stores in Vegas carried them. Last Saturday he was casually strolling through the fish store when he saw this one. He immediately told the employee to "bag it up!" and now we have Tony...because even though he's a lion fish, he looks like a Tiger. So, Tony, the Tiger. :)

Zion

We went on a super fun camping trip in Zion this weekend with Mindy and Kyle's fam and Julie and Jason's fam. Mike and Mom and Kent came up for dinner around the camp fire too. The next day we hiked to Emerald Pools in Zion and had a blast! We broke only a few rules along the way!

The sign says no swimming but...
