Pandora's Box

Birthday Recap

So my crappy bday turned out to be nice, as we decided to celebrate on Saturday since we were too busy with school and work during the week. Also, Josh's parents came up for the weekend. We had grilled chicken and steaks, with salad and a half and half plain cheesecake/chocolate chip cheesecake for my birthday cake! It was really yummy AND Josh did all the cooking and prepping. With the weather being so beautiful, we went to the park and fed the geese and stuff, and it turned out to be a nice low-key birthday celebration.
Sunday was also a beautiful day and Josh's parents left early so Josh, Ethan, and I went back to the park to feed the geese and we ended up taking a short hike through one of the trails to a really pretty waterfall. We also had another cookout, this time with my parents at their house. Josh's parents drove Zach's car up here and took the truck back, so Josh worked on cleaning the inside and outside of the car for a good part of the day. It's nice that we'll have two cars that will fit both of the kids and also that Josh gets to drive Zach's car and take care of instead of his parents selling it.

Busy Summer!

Wow! I just finished adding some things to my calendar and I can't believe that almost every weekend is full already! Actually, the craziness starts in May with Mother's Day, my cousin's wedding, my niece's birthday party and my mom's bday. Oh, and our 5 year anniversary at the end of the month! In June we have Chelsea's shower and bachelorette party, Father's Day, and Jack Johnson concert. July is the least busy month so far with just one weekend booked up for a fishing trip with my entire family and also the fourth of July (which is on a Friday this year!). August will be crazy busy with the frisbee golf camping/outing, Chelsea's wedding extravaganza weekend!, and Kim and Nic's anniversary party! Whew! PLUS, all of the other random outings, parties, and cookouts that are planned spontaneously. I'm glad it's a busy summer but I don't want it to go too fast!
