August Fun

Well we’ve had a lot of fun this past month, including my “golden” birthday where I turned 28 on the 28th of the month… a once in a lifetime birthday! The kids have mostly been enjoying the wonderful weather outside. Both love to be outdoors, so nice weather is a plus for them and me!

       

We also had an opportunity to attend a friend and old co-worker’s wedding (on my birthday). It was so wonderful to see her find such happiness, she totally deserves it! It is always a joy to attend weddings, and be reminded of why you got married! Quite frankly I LOVE being married!

           

For my birthday Justin made me breakfast and let me just relax for as much of the day as I could. We went to lunch with my sister and my parents. And then the next day my sister made me a wonderful dinner at her house and bought my favorite Costco cake, Red Velvet!! It was very nice of her, and I appreciated it! I got many books for my birthday, so I now have about 12 books on my to-read list! I am excited! I will never be bored!

Justin received his letter saying he is approved by the State to take the insurance licensing test. He plans to take it within a couple weeks, and be practicing with his dad by the end of September. Hopefully we can get that income flowing smoothly! I was a bit skeptical at first, but now I am actually getting excited about him doing this! For those who have not heard, Justin won’t be returning to school this term (although he does plan to finish his degree in the future), we are trying to save up money to buy a house, and ultimately start a bakery/deli business. We are working on the details for both and don’t plan to make these big moves until next summer. But I will keep you all informed of our progress!

Well college football starts soon and Justin and I can hardly wait! Its our favorite time of year, and we are so excited to see how the Beavers, Ducks, and Cougars do! Until next week…
