"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Future Memories

- We didn't set the alarm clock right, so I missed Tuesday's workout.  That was a bummer and always throws off my groove.  But I was trying to not let it.  We still managed to pull off a really fun day.  The movie they were playing at the Summer Movies thing was lame, so we decided we would take it easy in the morning, not having to rush to get to the 10:00, and just go out to the dollar movie in Sugar house and see a movie that we wanted to see.  Or THEY wanted to see, I should say.  I didn't really care.  So we stopped at Free Lunch at Washington Elementary and then went up to see Hoodwinked Too.  It really wasn't that bad.  Erika fell asleep on the way there and slept through the buying of the tickets and popcorn, and even the first twenty minutes or so, and that was nice.  She didn't love the last..... OOHH..... 45 minutes of it though, so those were spent going in and out and playing with the track lights, crying..... good thing it was only a dollar right?  But the older kids did perfect!  They all seemed to like it and were entertained!  I think any movie with Kronk as the voice is a movie worth seeing :)  That voice just does it all!  I don't even know his first name, but whatever, it's hilarious! 

- Wednesday the girls got to go to Temple Square with their Activity Days class.  That was fun for them!  They both liked seeing the statue of Christ.  Kelly called it the outer space part :).  The boys and I went on a "field trip" with the friends from our ward to the International Peace Gardens.  I took a bunch of pictures, but I didn't really like any of them.  Kinda bummed me out.  I'm still trying to make myself feel welcome in this ward.  It's so hard when you're renting.  But we have fun with them!

- Thursday was a pretty fun day too!  Park with Grandma and Sarah and her boys.  Then snow cones.  Then sprinklers with my new/old friend Becky.  That was a lot of fun.  Becky and I have become friends through blogs and facebook and stuff.  We had all these opportunities to be friends in High School and when we both worked at the pool, but never really did.  Her mom is in our ward and she was visiting from VA with her new baby, so we had to steal a visit from her!  I got to hold her 4 week old baby!  Did it make me baby hungry?  No, because you can't be made baby hungry when you already are 24/7.  I know there's something seriously wrong with me.  Charity and Kelly have inherited the same problem apparently.  They keep begging me to have another one now.  Funny girls.  We'll see.  Eventually I'm sure. 
After the sprinklers, Chris and Stephanie and their little girl Sophie came over for a Barbecue.  That was a lot of fun, too!  The kids spent the whole time showing off their tricks around the yard.  I spent the time wishing we had more fun Summer stuff to play on back there!  Nate made the most delicious food!  Good visiting, Good times.
