A lot of crazy stuff has been happening for the past couple of months, meaning I have had no time to really sit down and update our blog. Towards the end of May, we bought our very first house out in Salt Lake City. It is the best thing we have done since the day we got married. Our house has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a 2 car garage, beautiful backyard with a patio and much more. We love the house and wished we had done this months ago. We have been in it for about 4 monthes now. We also built a greenhouse in the backyard for John to grow all his plants in. It is 16 feet long and 8 feet wide. My parents came down to help us and we had it built in a day. That has to be the highlight of our summer. For my birthday, my mom got all the family together up in her backyard and we had a BBQ and played games. It was so much fun and I couldn't have asked for a better birthday, except we wished that Mike and Sarai and their kids could have been there. We are going to be going camping next month, not sure where though but we have been looking foreward to that.
At work, we had a huge remodel done that lasted about 1 and 1/2 months. It was such a crazy and hectic time that we all wanted to scream. The stupid contractors practically had no idea what they were doing and now everything they seemed to touch has been falling apart. We have tiles falling off the walls, ceiling panels that are falling down during rainstorms, and much more. But we are hoping to get all the bugs worked out. It is just a crazy time at work right now with people deciding to step down and having to change everything around, loosing employees and trying to find some more that will work well with who we already have but it is going ok. I am also going to be taking a few classes that start in two days. I get to take the Leading a Restaurant class which is the Co-Manager. I don't have any desire to become a co-manager I want to become a mom, but I want to be able to help my husband run his store better and to help him out with the numbers and to understand what they mean. I am also going to take the ServSafe class which is the class that is above the Food Handlers class. It is a 8 hour class and I have to do a ton of study. But I am really excited to do it, I have been wanting to take this class for a couple of years now.
We also celebrated our 2nd aniversay together on August 2. It has been the best two years of my life and I wouldn't change it for the world. I have the best husband in the world and I would not be who I am today if it wasn't for my husband helping me and coaching me along the way. We spent our annivesary together at the Outback Steakhouse. He also bought me a really pretty necklace from the Shane Company that I love and wear everyday.
So that is basically how our summer has been going. It has its ups and its downs but we will always get through them together. I love my husband and family and would not be who I am today without any of them.
