Weekend of Firsts

This weekend was full of firsts.............

Friday night I went out with the girls I have spending 3 nights a week with all summer at the gym. (first first) We went to have Sushi (2nd First). That was an experience. I have always shied away from sushi...........raw fish. No thanks! But I decided that I was going to try it and I did. Was it my favorite? No - but now I can say I have had it and I might try it again down the road.

This was my plate of Sushi. California Rolls and "I Love NY" Rolls. There was cream cheese, advacodo, seaweed, rice, fried shrimp, and salmon on top.


My girls at Lifetime.

Then our other first was taking Kaia to Girl Scout camp for the week. Yes, a little nervous and apprehensive. David more than me, but I know she is having fun. This is the first time Kaia has been away for more than one night. She is with her buddy Grace so I know she has a familiar face. You can see from the pictures that she was ready!

UGH!

I decided to work from home today so I could go see Kiersten's last ballet class. I should have just gone to work. I spent the whole 45 minutes sitting outside listening to her cry. Yes!!! I was frustrated.

This week has been a struggle - I try not to complain but it happens. Even to the best of us. I am trying to find that happy medium again but its getting a lot harder to locate. I'm spending most of the day tomorrow with my mother-in-law to get rid of whatever we have left of previous yardsales. God must be looking down on us because the humidity is suppose to be low with highs in the low 80s which will make it bearable to be outside.

4th of July

We spent the morning watching the Woodstock City Parade with friends.

Laid low and when it started to get dark we let off fireworks. Nice and low key. A great family day.

Its been a long time

Its been a long time.... no excuses I just don't feel like sharing a lot of what goes thru my mind at times.

Life is busy. Sometimes I wish it would stop but then I would probably complain about that as well. I just make sure that I am always putting one step in front of the other and somehow I make it. I try to stop and enjoy the moments I get with my girls. Sometimes its hard because I have so much that I need to do and so little actual waking time with them. I love bedtime because Kiersten just curls up next to me and we go to sleep but its the closest I am to her all day.

I have been blessed with my mother-in-law being willing to help with the girls. There are days that I get home and she has folded laundry or just straightened up. It is simple things that I am really appreciative of.

Our summre has flown by. We started it by flying out to Utah to spend some time with my family. It was so fun to be around everyone and let Kaia and Kiersten just play and play. Although Tasha doesn't believe me I do wish we were a lot closer and hold on to the hope that sameday it will happen. Kaia starts back to school in 3 weeks and its going to go fast. She is starting at a new school this year but hopefully won't be too big an adjustment because of the friends she has at school that are in the ward.

Anyways - David and I acutally took time our for ourselves last weekend and went to a concert. It was a 90s flashback with Next, SWV, and Raph Tresvant, Johnny Gill, & Bobby Brown. The night was perfect when the sun went down it was in the 70s and low humidity which is unusal here in Georgia. It was fun to sit back and enjoy some old school
