Campers!

Well Todd and I have been getting out a ton lately and it has been so fun! I've never really camped this much before... I went a few times growing up and always love when Girl's Camp came around, but I definitely have been adapting to an outdoor lifestyle this summer! This weeekend, Todd's family had their annual reunion at Fish Lake and we were able to get the time off to head up for a bit. It was super fun! We got royally killed at Phase 10, tried to catch some fish, and took naps (sleeping through the night on an air mattress wasn't too easy for the pregnant lady). The fishing wasn't the best, and we were pretty worried about getting rained on so we headed home a little earlier than planned, but we were still glad we went and I was happy to spend time getting to know Todd's family. I got alot of ideas for the Cowan family camp-out from how they set up theirs so thanks! Pictures are coming... I can't find where Todd put the camera cord.


Anyways, we came home on Friday night and spent Saturday deep cleaning the house. I remember Todd saying on the ride home about sipping pina coladas in the backyard on our day off, but I definitely put him to work. He's a trooper though and helped out so much! We moved around furniture, threw stuff away, and explored areas we haven't touched since moving in. I was totally wiped out by the end of the day, but it felt so good to have a clean house! I remember how much Mom worried when I moved out. She didn't think I could keep things clean. If she saw me now! haha. Anyways, today is just a mellow day for me. I don't ever work Sundays anymore and Todd always does so that explains the long blogs. I do look forward to watching the Next Food Network Star at 8p though.

I also wanted to throw this out there for anybody who may have actually made it through this whole long thing, would you want to start a book club page with me? I know they have group pages on blogger and I know that some who read this also love to read books! Anyways, if anybody is interested let me know, and we can start building a potential book list and have reading discussions on the page. That way we can all read at our own pace and talk about it... So yeah, that would be cool.

One last note, Todd's daily update corner is new this week. He wanted a place to post because apparently I have been monopolizing the page and also I'm lazy about posting. He said he wanted to give you all a reason to check the page every day. I bet him $50 dollars of our shared money (not quite as exciting when you're married) that he wouldn't be able to do it every day and that he underestimated how tough it can be to find time every day. Anyways, he took the bet and lost on day 2. I decided to give him another chance, but now he's 4 days behind. Regardless, keep checking in for Todd's maybe daily, but still pretty often updates into his life. They're actually pretty exciting for me to read also.

Ok now I'm really done.
