"untitled"

Since I have a mass-update to do for this post, I figured I would call it "untitled," rather than try to come up with something witty and all-inclusive.

Let’s see…where to begin:

Age

I am now officially a quarter of a century old! I don’t really feel any older this year, but then again, there are for sure certain things that make me feel older at certain times like: when my cousins from North Carolina came to visit – they are getting so much older and grown-up! What an impact that has when we only get to see them once or twice a year!! Another thing is the fact that more and more friend and people my age are having kids. That is nuts – in a good way, but I can’t even begin to comprehend taking care of someone else other than myself, my husband and my dog right now!

Along with my birthday, Derick and I went camping on my parent’s lake property in Wisconsin Thursday, Friday, Saturday last weekend and it was fun and relaxing. Thursday night we were watching the sky as the storms rolled in and around us. The sky was a weird orange and gray color. I tried taking some photos, but they don’t do justice to what it really looked like when we were there living it. We took the canoe out on the lake that my parents are on and caught a TON of little panfish. I think I like that more than fishing for bass…it is more entertaining for me to KEEP catching fish rather that cast, reel, reel, reel, cast, reel, reel…I got to take my first ride in Derick’s new fishing boat. It is pretty nice – all that room to move around. I have the whole back casting deck to work with when there is just the two of us.

Father’s Day

Saturday afternoon we headed over to the nursing home in Amery for my grandma’s 95^th birthday party. Wow. That is another thing – she is almost exactly 70 years older to the day than I am! We only could stay for a little bit – we had to get back home and clean our house because we were hosting Father’s day lunch at our house the next day and we hadn’t gotten a ton of things ready yet!

Sunday was really nice though – my parents, Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle Don and the kids all came over and we ate and talked and played games on the Wii and PS3. They are growing up so fast!

This weekend

We don’t have a whole lot going on this weekend. Saturday we have our second wedding of the year to go to – Derick’s friend Beth from BSU is getting married in Oakdale/St. Paul, MN. That will be fun as this is the last wedding that we will be going to this year! Next year we will have one that I know of for sure – my friend Laura C!!

Other than that, I am just getting some things ready for our National Night Out event in our association - in August. Yes - we are pre-planning things which will mean a trip to the dollar store to rangle up some prizes this year!

Have a good weekend!
