wow. not having blogged for over 2 months, i thought i'd get online and see what my fellow bloggers had been up to. turns out most of them haven't blogged for a while either. i guess i'm not the only one that got stuck with nothing to say for june and july.
so let's see if i can catch everyone up quickly...
JUNE: luigi wrapped up school, we took a short trip to utah to baptize dash along with his 2 cousins that are the same age, sent luigi off to catalina to scout camp upon returning home, dash and Z started jr guard (which you can read all about HERE).
JULY: we spent the holiday weekend in vegas celebrating the 4th, marz's birthday, and my MIL's birthday. we spent an entire day away w/o kids celebrating our 15th anniversary: kayaking in la jolla, dinner on coronado, and a movie in the car overlooking torrey pines beach. we had an awesome fellowship graduation dinner, and prepped Z for girl's camp and luigi for EFY. then some peeps packed and loaded our stuff and we MOVED!!!
we are now in the south, officially moved in and enjoying the humidity. we are also enjoying our 3740 sq ft. of living space, our dedicated ice maker, a master shower w/ 4 shower heads, a kitchen w/cabinet space for every last little thing, a clubhouse & pool within walking distance, a fenced yard, a garage w/enough space to park 2 cars and still walk around them, closets that actually fit all our clothing, dedicated space for school, a laundry room (after being w/o for 6 yrs!), 3 A/C units, shopping close to home, and new experiences!!
i could definitely do without the spiders and other creepy crawlies that are eating marz alive. we thought concrete floors would be so fabulous, but now... not so much. the house was built for tall folks. so the toilets are too tall, and my arms lose circulation just hanging up my clothes. lots of unpacking still to do, and still feel overwhelmed by what needs to be done in order to get my life back in order. Z and luigi are a bit bummed that the youth at church is about 1/3 the size of what we just left behind in SD. but all in all, we are ALL glad to be here because of what it represents in our lives.
we are so proud of doc M for all the hard work over the years to get us to where we are now. we are excited for him to embark on his new chapter. he is looking forward to building and staying busy!
