So here it is almost August! Where did the time go? Where did summer go? I want it back? I am sitting here at work with absolutely nothing to do. I had intentions of bringing in my camera and downloading a bunch of pictures to the blog to update everyone. Then I remembered Mike was going to the river and he would probably take the camera. Sad day, no picture posts.
We are loving our new car. I realized I didn't post the make or model of it. It is a silver 4 door Honda Accord. The exact same car we had before only 10 years newer with AC a sun roof and 200,000 less miles. Yes, our old car had over 300,000 miles on it. It was a good car. We just need something a little more reliable going into grad school. We expect to put that many on this car. So far it has been great and I love it. The only problem it has is that once the overwhelming air freshener smell wore off, it reeks of moth balls. Not so pleasant, but we have a couple of options to try to get it out.
We went to the Vaden family reunion in July and it was a lot of fun. Not a whole lot of family was able to make it and that was sad. But we still had a lot of fun. Thanks to Uncle Randy for letting us use his trailer while he wasn't there we only had to sleep in the tent 1 night! It was great. I think his camper is almost the size of our apartment! ha ha.
Little Man had a blast. He had a hard time going down for his naps because of everything going on around him. He even fell asleep in the pack that we used and it was hilarious! (I promise to post a post full of pictures next time!) No matter where he goes he likes to get his taste of the water and this was no different. We went up to the beaver pond and just as we were getting ready to leave he took it head first into the water. We rushed back to camp to warm him up and get him in some dry clothes. He survived.
We haven't spent a lot of time out on the river, but we do take advantage every chance we get. Little Man loves riding on the boat. He hasn't been out on the wakeboard yet, but that is because he has either been sick or Mike hasn't been at the river with us to take him. I am wondering this very second if he went out today. I have been doing a lot better at jumping and getting more air. Something I have been working on for a looonnnngg time. It's mind over matter, and up till now my mind said don't do it it will hurt to bad if you wreck! But now that I have done it a couple of times with the opposite results, I am getting more confident in myself. Always a plus.
I have decided to start riding my bike to work again. I have been trying all summer to start running again and have yet to find time to fit it in, so instead I am riding the bike. Ok so I've only done it twice, but that is a start. Some day I may run again, but until then, this will have to do. Other than no pictures, this is pretty much the whole update, so till next time chao!
So fun to see you all at Wildhorse!
ReplyDeleteI'll be patient and wait for the pictures next time.
Congrats on the new car. I'll be on the market for one in not very long.
Biking is good... much better on the knees than running. Trust me, that will matter to you in a few years.
