My Motto

"Knowing is half the battle."

If you remember this as fondly as I do, you'll enjoy it.

My Seventh Month of the Year

Having received some complaints (Okay, only one. Thanks for caring Audra.) I dragged out my camera cords and downloaded some photos. Being as far behind as I am I will summarize July...

We went to the Stadium of Fire thanks to Ammon being a stage manager, and Dad for letting Glenn Beck chill in his RV (or his Trailer, as we movie people call it.) Awesome show! Great emcee! Not a fan of the Jo Bros but the screaming and crying preteens were entertaining.

Hilarious little girl dancing the entire time.We were on the field like 6 rows back, so we had alot of ash rain down on our heads. Good thing no one there had PTSD.

Then I had baby shower(s).

My cute friend Shelby expecting her first, a girl. And my former co-worker/friend Melissa expecting another girl, her first as well. I did happen to win a $50 gift card prize at this shower. Yay me!

My brother Austin turned 14 years old. Wierd!

We didn't have any birthday candles, so he to blow out a couple real candles and a lighter.He scored a DS-i and a slip 'n' slide which he proceeded to break the next day but not before him, the dogs, and I got some fun out of it. (Word of warning, any females out there beware the slip 'n' slide and diving full onto your bosom. Painful! Luckily this one came with an inflatable boogie board, made it fun again for me.)

Avery and I celebrated our two year wedding anniversary. We went out to dinner (mmm Carrabas) and later went up and spent the weekend at his familiy cabin four wheeling, eating smores, and watching Dexter season two. I know it sounds lame, it kind of was considering, but we're broke as joke, so we had to make our own fun. What went from a San Diego anniversary went to Las Vegas again, went to St. George again, went to Anniversary Inn for a night, went to up the cabin (for free) for a night. Yay for free! At least there wasn't any internet to distract us.Obligatory wedding photo to prove in fact we did get married.

We did get to go see Kenny Chesney in concert. We had the nosebleed seats and the sun baked us till it went down, but 'when the sun goes down' we had a blast.I think Ave's favorite was someone down below gave Kenny C. a University of Utah hat that he switched from his cowboy hat into when he came a did his encore. Like 10 songs!! All not his, different bands from U2 to the Eagles, all sorts of fun, like one big party. Great night!

It's been busy, Ave's been working to save for school. Expensive! I've been working to pay our bills. It's nice getting him around more when school is out but I think it's about time to go back. I want to feel better about getting another year out of the way. We are all settled (for the most part) the our basement bedroom and it's working out as well as can be expected. Every month we are anxiously awaiting seeing this...instead of the opposite, which we have been seeing. Boo! Waiting sucks. But I feel a sense of relief in the no longer 'waiting to try'. At least at this point it 's out of my hands. Anybody got any extra prayers lying around, one can come our way. August will be a good month I can tell.

My transition period

Moving in with your parents sucks. Really, no matter how you look at it, it's never a positive thing. You feel almost like a failure, can't make it on your own. Even though that's not why we're moving in... it sort of feels that way. No we didn't have a massive financial crisis, it's just best for now. Still make you feel sad. Especially when you tell people, "Oh, that's nice." We left our little one bedroom apartment of two years, to a one bedroom basement suite to call ours. Not much. Trust me I know it's for the best. I'm very grateful to my family for all their hard work renovating our little suite. Still packing all my kitchen stuff that I won't see for years, sucks. I'll admit I cried to see my little dishes disappear. I like my stuff.
Enough whining. I am terribly excited, as is my husband. We get to move on with our lives, as in start a family. YAY!!!!!!! =) Biggest grin ever on my face. My parents are amazing for giving us our space and volunteering their future time. It's the only way it could work out and we wanted to do it. As much as it sucked. I like my stuff.
Considering I haven't bloggged it... it still happened. Avery had his 26th birthday and I had my 25th. That makes me feel old. I'm not exactly a spring chicken anymore. It's amusing to watch expressions from people's reactions from when I used to say 21-23, "Oh you're still very young you have time!" To now 25, "Oh, honey. It's probably a good idea to start thinking of a baby." What?

Do you want to see what I did for my birthday?

No I didn't get drunk. But I did get to go to Vegas with some good friends. We went to Wolfgang Puck's for dinner, Bellagio fountains shopping at HM, chick flicks, and sugar. MMMM.... Way fun! Kiitos ystavat! Makes a girl feel young to be a girl. 25... I am officially in the middle and officially on my way to growing up.
