Recently, Kayla and Derick got married. (18th of June). Love, love, LOVE having another sister! As if 2 weren't enough. But we are finally catching up to the boys (there's 5 of them). We have very much been enjoying our summer of relaxation, well my summer is at least relaxing, Keith's got a little bit more so after loosing the airport job.
A week before Hoopfest we got a call from The Village at Grandridge Apartments and they had availability! After looking and praying we decided to get it. And boy has being on our own wonderful! We finally are able to use all our cool kitchen things I've been dying to use and I've been a good housewife and been making dinner! Easy dinners of course like chicken and rice, grilled cheese, things like that. If you have any other dinner ideas let me know!
Hoopfest weekend was great! We got to spend time with Kyra, Jake and the kids. We took Trenton with us. It wasn't half bad. I got burnt like a lobster, and the boys finally won a game! Talk about exciting. 3 years of never winning a game, and they finally win one. Kyra and I worked on a 1000 piece puzzle and we were able to get a lot of it done the first couple days we were there.
The Friday after Hoopfest (July 1st) we moved into our new apartment. While Keith was at work, my sister, sisters-in-law and mother-in-law moved in all the boxes full of kitchen stuff, clothes, shoes, bathroom stuff, ect. We set up the kitchen and they were on their way. When Keith got off, Trenton and Daniel and Keith moved up the entertainment center, couches, TV and all the other big things we had. The next day, I spent putting things away that I could, organizing, re-organinzing and doing anything I could to keep me busy. When Keith got off, it was shopping day time all the things we needed like cleaning stuff, lamps, trash bags, food, and all the other good and helpful things we need. We got Leonardi's pizza for our first dinner at our new apartment. I washed and put away all the dishes I could and then it was bedtime.
Sunday we woke up and went to church at our new ward. After that, I made cookies, we had visitors and we headed to the Myers for a BBQ. The BBQ was delicious and very filling! After the BBQ we went to the Manis's for card games and visiting (Kyra and the kids were in town for the 4th).
Monday morning we made our first real meal and breakfast. We made french toast, bacon and eggs. We headed to Hermiston for the 4th and hung out with Bo and Holly. We played softball and badmitton, ate delicious food and enjoyed all the company! After the wonderful firework show, we headed home.
It was back to work Tuesday for Keith, and boredom for Lily and I. I did wash all the towels and clothes at the laundry mat here. Cost about $5. Never doing that again! Not all the clothes got dry so we probably looked like white trash with all the clothes hanging out on the back balcony. We did get NetFlix again so life home isn't completely boring. Keith and I are addicted to The Secret Life of the American Teenager. I'm in love with Drop Dead Diva, and catching up on Glee. Yes, I'm a Gleek (;
Job status, currently waiting on the Hilton Garden Inn to call me about a job. Corporate has to get back to them about things, so everyone is stuck just waiting. Keith is only working at Metal Fab. Which is really good for him. He's getting A LOT more sleep and is overall just happier.
Twin Lakes is coming up soon. CANNOT wait! Sunshine, boating, volleyball and family. There's nothing better! Keith and I are camping it in the front of Mom's cabin. And Konner will finally be back. Oh yea, Konner left the 19th of June to stay in Maryland with Kenny (his biological father) and won't be back until the first day of Twin Lakes (July 23). Wayyyy to long for that cute little guy to be gone!
Well that's life now! And it's only getting better! (:
