Salesmen

Well you can tell I enjoyed my summer. I didn't spend too much time blogging! A salesman came to our door today. I have had brothers and many friends who did the whole door to door salesman thing. So I have heard how hard it is, but I still don't like door to door salesmen. I don't like to be sold. David let this guy in and was being chatty cathy with him and was going to buy magazines to furn this guy's college education (which he graduated from Berkley and wanted to go back to college) and travel fund (he wanted to visit Spain and Hawaii - sounded like more of a vacation)! So I did stepped in, and had to be the rude wife that says no! I can be Red (personality type from the Color Code book) sometimes, especially when someone is trying sell something that I don't need or want! David and I decided that we are not going to let salesmen in our house, and that if we want to help people out we can do service for family, people in our ward, or people in our community. I got pretty fired up today about this, so some venting needed to be done. - DOne.

10 for 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This summer is off to a great start! School has been out for two weeks and I am loving it. I have lost 10 pounds in the last 10 days! I was so shocked and so excited. I have never lost 10 lbs in 10 days! I attribute my weight loss to Ulitmate Frisbee and working for Chad. Ultimate has been going for about a month now. I play every Wednesday 6:30 -9:30 with my team, Team Venus! It has been so fun to get back into ultimate. Last Wednesday we were down in the 1st half we came back and won by 2 points. I assissted the winning point! (that was exciting) We play our games at Ann Morrison Park, which is a huge beautiful park next to the river. It is also really close to our apartment.
I was lucky this summer to have a job. Chad found some projects around the complex for me to do. I usually work all by myself so I listen to the IPOD. This last week I listened to all the talks that President Hugh B. Brown has given at BYU. If you have never heard him speak you are missing out! So between taking my summer credits and work I am staying pretty busy - but I not stressed.

Cool!

We got a new A/C unit! Hopefully our apartment stays cool this summer. Last summer our apartment was 90+ degrees. We are loving the "Frigidaire Air"!

Herb Garden

I started an herb garden! Provident living inspired! I have basil, tarragon, cilantro, thyme, oregano, and mint. I got the sweet shelf at a garage sale for a $1. I have found a new Saturday morning love - garage sales! I got new church heels for 25 cents - and they look brand new!

Summer TIME!

Sweetness. School is out for the summer! I was getting so excited about summer that the last couple days of school I had a hard time falling asleep. It almost felt like Christmas! This summer I am going to take some summer classes to earn some more credits. I need to sit down and make a list of my summer projects that I want to accomplish!

job!

This is where David got his job!! We are so grateful for all of you who fasted and prayed for us!! This is a new restaurant opening in Boise soon. Another cool thing about this job is that the owner is LDS and David gets to work with one of his good friends.

Race for the Cure

The Race for the Cure is a fundraiser that raises money to support breast cancer research. This was my 3rd year doing the race! It is so amazing to see 15,000 people running/walking and supporting breast cancer research, breast cancer surviors, and paying tribute those who have lost loved ones. David dropped me off and parked. I didn't see him again until after the race. I was right on the starting line... which is really amazing because last year I was at the very back.

Here is my butt crossing the finish line.

Lots of people.

Starting line. You can't really see me, but I am in the front in the middle of the arched balloons.
