June has been a busy month for me! Yesterday I realized I've been doing stuff non-stop and much to my relief, I don't have anything else planned for a while! Which I'm sure will make Elden happy so I can cook and clean the house every once in a while!
My mom and I flew to Oregon on the 8th to visit my sister Penny and her family. The trip to Redmond was HORRIBLE!!! Full of missed connections because of delayed flights, crappy customer service and ghetto hotels!
The first day we were in Oregon was Blake's last baseball game. Blake even got to pitch for the first time.
A few days later was Caylyn's dance recital. It was fun to see her dance-I hadn't seen her dance in several years and she's really getting good! (For some reason-I only took videos of her entire dances and didn't get ANY pictures of her) Her dances were really good, but there's nothing more entertaining than the little 4-6 year olds "dancing". A couple of them had the whole auditorium almost rolling on the floor with laughter!
The rest of the trip we mostly hung out at the house (I worked some), Penny I did our normal shopping excursions, I got an eye exam from my brother-in-law Todd and I got some new sunglasses :) Mostly though, it was nice spending time with the Sheldon's! I really miss them!
The Sunday I was there, Kiley, Caylyn and I made "Hamburgers" out of cupcakes, brownies and frosting. We tried to make french fries out of sugar cookies but they didn't turn out very good.
Our trip home was easy and un-eventful. I had one day to recover/catch up on work and then I had to go help at church with Cub Scout Day Camp Friday & Saturday. Friday was absolutely insane and unorganized because the lady who had planned it, hadn't really asked anyone to help her so she was trying to run the whole thing herself resulting in near chaos. Saturday was a TON better because I helped her delegate the activities and told her to just oversee everything so she didn't kill herself. Of course, it's always a near death experience when there are about 30some 8-11 year olds all together! :)
Then Monday at work, my dad, brother and I had a meeting, and Will informed me that I needed to start driving up to Monument again every day to work with him and so I could teach Brandi (his wife) to do my job and I would be his personal assistant basically. Anyone that knows Will and I, know that we don't work well together because we're too alike (not that he'll admit it-he thinks I'm just un-rational because I'm a girl or something). We both like to be in control and we both speak our mind (which can result in some nasty fights) and I knew that working in the same space again wouldn't be an ideal situation for us to continue to get along! The stress from that seemed to cause a near emotional breakdown :) I think I'm getting over it now though-or I guess I'm just half expecting to get a good system working with Will and I, and get Brandi trained, and then I'll get to move my office back home. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Lastly-the past several weeks I've been planning a baby shower for my sister-in-law Stephanie who is due next month. I've never thrown a baby shower before and I was stressing out about it! I spent probably around 12 hours making 50 of the cutest invitations EVER! (Without my Cricut it might have taken even longer!)
Yesterday was the baby shower and it turned out great! There were like 14 people that came and I think everyone enjoyed it.
Now for the rest of the summer I've got nothing (hopefully other than work) to stress out about! Only things to look forward to! Trina and I are going to see Twilight next week (excited 1 because it's the new Twilight and 2 because I've not hung out with my good friend Trina in a few years!) and then in August, Elden and I are going to Florida for a week. Elden's parents, little sister Carrie and little brother Michael are coming with us also. My parents gave me a week to their time share-so I'm pretty stoked! A week on the beach...need i say more?
