Memories From Summers Past

It's official...we bought a boat. My mom and dad went to look at boats yesterday and they found one they liked. Today me, mom, and all the kids went down to the boat store to place a down payment on the boat. We should have the boat at our house by the middle of next week. I'm very excited for all this. Growing up in California, we had a boat and we were out on it every weekend. Sometimes we would sleep out on the boat. Of course, this was back when it was only me and my parents. Four more small children might make this a little more difficult. We are still getting the boat though. Mom said that Jeff and I could even take the boat out by ourselves sometimes if we want...uhm, yesplease!!!! AND I will most definitely be learning how to drive this thing and then taking some of the girls from Taylor out on the lake. Wing retreat anyone??? :]]]

Today was Sarah's last day of Kindergarten. She definitely went out with a bang. Today all the Kindergarteners in the school participated in the Kindy 500. Basically, all the kids made personal racecars out of boxes so they could race around the gym. When it was Sarah's race, she was leading the pack...right up until the time she fell. And she biffed it HARD. She fell over flat on her face with her legs flailing in the air. The poor thing started crying because she skinned her knee too. Mom noticed that she was in different shorts than she went to school in. As it turns out, Sarah had an accident at school. We're not sure why, but poor Sarah peed in her pants. What a way to end the year huh? Oh well, Sarah is still young and I'm sure she'll forget about it by the end of the summer. The boat will help her forget :]

Summer is Finally Here

"Nothin on Earth that'll get me hummin like a heat wave commin and I'll come runnin. With me makin that tan in the broad daylight, every night is a saturday night. Everything's right when the summer's commin, I'm the first one standing in line. For my day in the sun I've been working til the sun don't shine." I'm officially a senior in college! Woo! Now summer is finally here and I need a friggin job, lol. I've been searching for a nanny position since March and nothing has worked out yet. I'm really hoping I don't have to go work some high school retail job, but it may come down to that. I don't know, I guess we'll see what happens. Jeff and I got our engagement pictures taken last week and we got a few teaser pictures back and they look fantastic!! I can't wait to see the rest of them. Amy said she'd have them done by tomorrow at the latest. AND I'm planning on buying a wedding dress this summer. My goal is to have it ordered before I start student teaching. I've heard it can take up to six months to get a dress in. Plus I want to allow time to get it adjusted if need be. I'd rather have it early than be rushing last minute to have it ready. Only 382 days until the wedding!!!!!
