A Time to Celebrate!


Well, as usual I am a bit late posting the past weeks events.

Happy 4th of July. This year we decided to spend the weekend at home. It was really nice that Varsity decided to close the office on the 3rd in celebration of the 4th, but not so nice that UPS felt that every driver should work a 12 hour day. But regardless, I had a great day off. I got got up on my weeding in the morning, and spent the afternoon bleaching my hair, no more roots! Thanks Nichole for helping me. That night we did some shopping, and went to a late movie! I know shocking. I haven't been to a late movie in ages. I am feeling a lot better, so I am able to do more. The 4th started out early, as we went to the neighborhood breakfast, when we got home at 10am it was nap time. I convinced Jeff that we needed to buy a patio set, so we could BBQ outside. We invited the Downs family. Nichole and I prepared all the food, Chicken and Steak Kabobs, fresh fruit, green salad, and corn on the cob (actually the boys prepared it with Ryan's special seasoning!) I tried to make homemade icecream for dessert, but it did not set up. So we settled for Davy Crocket cookies - Ryan's favorite! We had just finished cooking and setting the table, when the skies turned black and the hail and rain came pouring down. We were lucky we hadn't started eating! However, by the time the night came we were able to sit outside and enjoy the fireworks. It was a great evening!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF!!!

Jeff celebrated his 37th birthday on the 8th of July. His first comment of the day was "I'm an Old Man"! Jeff has realized that his body doesn't recover as fast as it used to, but that doesn't stop him from still acting like a big KID! We had such a busy week, that we finally got to celebrate his birthday at 9pm that night. Fortunately Jeff is pretty laid back. Camry was a huge help!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so nice to be able to rely on her to get things ready, while I was at work! She cleaned up the house, wrapped the gifts and made the cake, which was FANTASTIC! He loved his gifts we got for him, which were "Fight Night Round 4" for his XBox 360, a couple of shirts, and plaid shorts, which I was sure he would hate, but ended up liking them. He wore them the other day and boy did he look fine!!!! Ooo La La! My Mom got him the new Tiger Woods Golf Game for the XBox 360. Jeff is not a huge gamer, but in his off time he enjoys playing LIVE with Ryan. Camry took the time to right him a letter, which I think are the greatest gifts!!!!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE!!!!
