Summer is here

Today officially felt like the first day of summer. Hot, muggy, sticky, and hot. I've been waiting so long for winter to be over and summer to finally arrive and well, I think I like Spring and Fall the best. Today was a quick reminder of the inescapable sticky heat (technically called humidity but I think sticky is more descriptive) here in New England. I am reminded of the many days ahead of me where I can enjoy 15 dry minutes after getting out of the shower before the sticky sweat sets in, as well as standing in front of the a/c unit, contemplating whether or not turning it up is worth the increased electricity bill. Since the a/c is not currently situated in our window, I didn't have a choice today (this is one of our budgeting tips, don't offer yourself the choice to spend money). How do we get through it? Lots of popsicles and lots of swimming.

Just be grateful you're not south of DC! Texas was pretty bad, but I've heard Georgia is the worst. I hate feeling sweaty and dirty after a shower. Good luck!

Sure looks like Chase is having a great time! I have decided that I like the dry climate over the humid. Although you do give up all that beautiful greenery the East has.

To sum it up

To sum up the last 9 months... We went to Disney World and Universal in March with Rick’s family. It was a BLAST! Favorite part was Harry Potter world. Favorite ride was Rockin’ Roller coaster, or Hogwarts castle, or the Avatar ride.  Rick and I coached track March-May. It was fun but stressful. I like doing something for the community. I don’t like running a program w my husband and not enough adult help.   Kids finished school in May and we went on a camping trip Memorial weekend to St Joe State Park with our favorite people, Richardsons. Some other ward families came too. Marcellino’s and Smith’s.  Summer hit, Soleil got baptized, and Rick got a job offer to work for Cricut in Utah. Finally a job closer to family! We spent three very stressful weeks prepping our house for sale and then took off to Utah driving both our cars on July 13th.  The following week we vacationed in Lake Powell with my family. After coming home from that we settled into Heather’s basement ...

2019 is my year to Be Prepared

Last year I decided to make a goal that involved one phrase, no guilt. That phrase stuck in my mind all year long, and guided me through a lot of situations. I found by the end of the year, that I really had changed because of those two words. In all the years past that I have set goals, I have set very specific reachable things. I always find that a few months into the year my motivation drops off and I don’t follow through with the goal. By the end of the year I either feel disappointed in myself, or I can’t even remember what my goal was to begin with. Last year was different in a very good way. So I’ve decided to do the same thing this year. After pondering and praying about what my goal should be this year, I came up with the phrase be prepared. There are so many ways to be prepared in life, spiritually, physically, temporarily, etc. I find that a lot of my stress on a daily basis could be remedied if I had only spent a little time before hand to prepare for that moment for that s...

Golf date

We went on a group date Friday night with our best friends here in St Louis, Wilson’s and Richardson’s. We went to a new place in Chesterfield called Top Golf. We ate yummy food and visited while we hit golf balls off a platform. It was the first time I had ever hit golf balls in a real way, aside from miniature golf. It was harder than it looks. Everyone had fun and I came home sore.
