It's Summertime!

Alright!

It's time to start the summer!  Here are some updates for us as we get the summer party started!

* The family I committed myself to, moved.  It was a sad day.  I miss loving on those babies!  They were just getting good at saying my name too.  Apparently, they were driving around their new town and saw a little white Yaris and Baby Boy said, "Sarah!"  I felt loved when his mom told me that.  I hope he doesn't forget me, cause I fully intend to visit them in August on my way to Sara's wedding.

*Job hunting... again.  I dislike this part.

*I got a new calling!  I am now second counselor in the Primary Presidency.  So far, we've been busy.  Those kids keep you on your toes!  Evan and I both got to spend a day at Cubscout day camp.  He's actually there right now haha.

* Of course, every summer starts off with our anniversary.  Just another reason I am happy about the date we chose.  It may nto have been the most convenient for people for our wedding, but it sure makes the anniversaries awesome (three day weekend every time!)

*Most importantly-  Year One of graduate school is done!!  Evan is still in classes... everyday.  But year one is done!  I'm so proud of him.  He stressed and stressed about his grades and worked so hard and ended up with an impressive GPA.  Such a good student!

* Also, we found a lake nearby.  Why no one has told us about it until now I can't fathom, but it's great.   It's no Belle Isle, but it is better than not having somewhere to go and chill out.  Evan went with his Canadian friend one day to swim some laps and took a video of the place.  He turned the camera to Mr. Canada and said, "And this is the jerk that's been hiding it from us."  I mean really, we spent all last summer cooped up inside because we couldn't find anything free to do.  And the whole time we were 10 minutes from a lake full of rednecks.  But, we know about it this summer and we will take full advantage!

And that is all I have to say about the start of summer excitement.


Summer, Here We Come!

Year 2 brought to you by the letter N

Some of you may remember last year in the spring sometime I made a letter A to go in our house.  I used a bunch of pictures I had of Evan and I and cut them out and Mod Podged them on.  I liked it so much I decided to do our whole name.  I decided to do one a year, and I figured, why not do it around our anniversary?  So, after two lovely years, the letter N has been mod podged and put on display.  The rest of the letters are just painted black.  It looks incomplete, but I'm ok with it.  I know what the end goal is, and it's worth the wait to me.

And now the whole name!

It's pretty exciting to make a new letter and have it up there finally.  I can't wait for year three!

For our actual anniversary, it was Memorial Day so we did the usual barbecue hang out thing.  We were also house sitting which turned into Granny sitting (whole other story) so we decided to postpone for a little while.  To celebrate, we went out this past weekend.  Evan took me to Sushi  (YUM!) and then we had Coldstone for dessert.  It was amazingly delicious.  I gave Evan some fabric with vintage Marvel prints and the promise to make him his very own blanket (if I ever finish the stinking jean quilt!).  He is pretty excited to have a Marvel superhero blanket methinks.  Plus we got our professional pictures back! (Two years after the wedding... yup... another long and irritating story, but it's done now!)

Overall, a great celebration.

Eat up!

I love my dear husband and look forward to many more anniversaries!
