Ah Summertime!

I had a blast with Jenette at a Wisconsin Woodchucks game tonight in Wausau. I remember when those college boys were so old. Now they are babies. We also had dinner at Culver's. It was yummy. I am a fan.

Slept for ten hours last night. It was awesome! I needed it! Not much else. Good day!

Ah. A Week Later...

Here are some pics from graduation. I was so glad my students graduated. I was worried about a few of them and it touched my heart that one of them came up to hug me afterword and said: "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you!" That is why I do my job.

It was crazy busy getting ready to check-out at work and then get my apartment ready for my friend to sublet it. I was a little scatterbrained by the end of the week. I flew out at 7 on Saturday and my brother-in-law picked me up in Milwaukee. I had a great layover in Phoenix because I was surprised by my friend, Erin, who called and told me that her and her husband wanted to take me to breakfast during my layover. It was nice to catch up with them!

I then stayed with my sister and her family on Saturday night. It was nice to have S'mores with her family out on her patio. Wisconsin is sure beautiful right now.

We met up with my parents in Green Bay on Saturday and it was fun to catch up with my family there. I love to see my grandma. She is cute. I also saw my cousin and her kids and a few aunts and uncles. It is good to be home, even if I was a little torn to leave.

Tonight I play softball for the first time with my fun team here. It will be a blast. Let's hope the rain holds out for us.

Dates, aren't those little fruit?

This weekend has been pretty darn relaxing. Friday I went on another date. I am keeping him anonymous. I think it is always better this way when in the early dating stages. Really, two dates is not very many. I am trying to just stay cool and collected and not seem clingy. I am also trying to be better at dating in general. I am horrible at it. I have absolutely no dating skills. I am not a flirt nor am I a great conversationalist. I think I just get nervous which makes me quiet. But we have had two great dates and may have another one this next week and then I will just up and leave having a great escape and making me worried that it will just fizzle. We went disc golfing and then to dinner. We talked about lots of stuff, including cheese, which totally got me excited. I really didn't think cheese could get me so excited but having a conversation with a man who is also passionate about cheese just did it for me. We also talked about my novel and how it is random as well as Catholicism. He was called away from out date and into work about nine o'clock so the date was cut a bit short. I was kinda disappointed but stuff happens, right?

I then headed over to a co-worker's house. He just bought a house a few months ago and was having a hours warming. It was nice to just hang out with a few co-workers and chat. Of course, they drilled me about my date and that wasn't my favorite but I guess people get excited.

Yesterday, I ran and then took care of Aiden. It has been a long time since we have hung out and it was fun. My stomach didn't feel so good all day long so I felt bad that all Aiden and I did was hang out(which meant he played computer games and I napped) and then we went to a movie and had dinner from McDonald's. The movie we saw was in 3D and it was way cool. You should see How to Train Your Dragon. If you see it, make sure you see it in 3D. It is so cool!

Today is church. I teach Relief Society and the talk I am covering rocks. I don't know what to talk about but I know it will be a good lesson because it is very touching. The talk is entitled "Safety for the Soul" and was given by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. Go to lds.org and search for it and read or watch it. It is amazing! Actually, here is a link to read it!

Later I will go to the Bills up in Sandy and be grilled about my date. It will be fabulous(that was sarcasm if you didn't catch it in the tone!) I know people get excited but seriously. Okay, so I do this to my friends after their dates too. I just have a hard time remembering everything that happened on the date. Maybe I should write it down or something!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and isn't that a rad pic of me and Aide after the movie?

Whew...

It is nice to be done with both Lagoon Day and the Senior Banquet. Now, we just coast to the end of the year. It is fantastic. I am still tired and have a million things to do but I think I will be a survivor.

I really don't have much to say. I thought I should update all of you who are nosy and want to know: My date for today has been moved to tomorrow. I hope you can all handle that. BTW, Anne, I am NOT bringing him to Sandy, ever. Just to let you know. hahah!

Before I sleep...

I loved how Henry and Spencer were like old men eating their Panda Express at their own table. They are silly.
The view from our seats tonight at the Bees game. It as fabulous and very nice.
My eggs made me laugh on Sunday. They were so shocked!

Hi. Needed to blog before sleeping. Here are some fun pictures for you.

Just a quick conversation about push-up bras. They are pretty much miracle workers. IF you take offense to reading about this subject you are free to not read on. Anyhow...I like push-up bras. It has been less than a year since I started wearing them. At first I was skeptical because I really found them to be false advertising. (which they are but it is okay). Anyway. I have two scenarios to demonstrate how effective they are at attracting men. The first one is sweet and nice(if it really can be seeing this is bra talk) and the other one is a little creepy. Anyway...the date on Saturday, I totally wore the push up bra with one of my new shirts. I noticed that my date glanced at my chest once or twice. It wasn't creepy and he is a guy and it is normal. The other time was at church when I was talking to a creepy guy. He kept staring at my chest as awkward conversation and pauses went by. I did not like it and I ran away from him(conveniently enough, I was waiting for a Visiting Teaching interview and they called me and and saved me in the nick of time...before I was invited to do something with creepo). So...what I am saying in my midnight banter is that push-up bras can be nice and they can be completely scary.

Also, they can be completely hilarious when you are talking about these stories with the Salt Lake family. Thanks for the fun guys!

Senior Banquet is tomorrow. Lagoon is Wednesday. I am fried and will be glad to not have anything to plan!

Have a great day.
CHEERS...oh and Date #2 is on Thursday. I bet you are all excited aren't you?
