Fabulous Fish

Trav has been working very hard to make our fish tank beautiful. He's been doing a great job! See for yourself.

Twilight

Okay, so I finally jumped on the band wagon. Tav's mom had the book "Twilight" sitting on her table the other day so I casually started reading the first few pages. She admitted that she would probably wouldn't read it so she said I could take it home with me. Last night at 10:30pm I started reading it. 5 hours later (3:30am) I forced myself to put it down so I could get some sleep. I laid awake thinking about it for a good 1/2 hour and at 7am my eyes shot open with thoughts of Edward! I reached up to grab the book from my nightstand but I decided to get some sleep instead so I could be more alert when I was reading. So at 10am I started reading again. I took a break at 1pm to eat something since I hadn't yet!!! I guess everyone was right, this book is amazing. I'm going to finish it now and start on the next one tonight. I know I'm way behind everyone else so NO ONE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS!!! I vaguely remember reading a spoiler on someone's blog about a big event that's coming but I'm trying to forget everything I've heard.
Even though Edward has lighter hair, every time Bella describes him I picture Travis. :)

Washington

We got back last night from a week long trip to Washington State. It was so beautiful!!! We stayed on a beach house on Samish Island and had such a nice relaxing time. We were very excited to come home and see our dogs! They were in the pet hotel for most of the time and then Trav's friend Scot picked them up and took them home for the rest of the time. I brought him home a famous 5lb Apple Pie from Washington as a thank you. Security ran it through the xray machine twice! :)

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!
