After spending a hour trying on swimsuits in one store, I found one! It wasn't exactly what I was looking for but I still like it a lot. It only cost $40! Much better then what I was going to spend. It is a black skirtini (tankini with a skirt) and there is blue ruffle on the neck line. Simple but cute.
For those of you local folks (it may be all Payless stores) Payless (on 360 by Sublett/Camp Wisdom) is having a flip flop sale on Thursday. Buy one get one free. Yay!!! My favorite pair of flip flops came from there so I am excited to get some more. I love a good sale!
OK I have a question...am I too old to wear a small flower in my hair? I have a friend who says I am and if she reads this I hope she laughs. I see girls of all ages with them all the time but I don't know if I can pull it off. I have been looking for a cute black flower for my hair but I haven't found one that is the right size and simple. But maybe I should stop looking. In case you don't know how old I am, I am 31. So what do you think?

Friends and Swimsuits
Another summer day, oh how I LOVE summer! OK it could be 10 degrees cooler here but o'well. I'm looking forward to CA in just over a week. Just thinking about it makes me smile!
So yesterday at church one of the talks was about friendship. It was given by Michelle who is new in our ward. It really made me think about what kind of friend I am not only to my close friends but to all my interactions with people. I often have the best intentions to introduce myself to new people but sometimes I just don't. It's not like I am shy I have no problem talking to complete strangers. In the talk she talked about examples in the scriptures of good friends. I want to be that kind of friend to my friends. Not that you have to be BFF's with everyone you meet but to be friendly with everyone. I think that when someone is new especially in the ward they feel alone and I know how that feels I've been the new girl plenty of times in my life. I guess what all this babbling is about that I want to make a better effort to befriend new people who come into my life and I want to be a better friend to my friends I already have. I love my friends and I don't know what I would do without them.
Today is the dreaded day when I go swimsuit shopping. I have found a super cute suit online but it costs around $100. I want to look around first and see if there is something I can find locally. I spent $80 two years ago and my swimsuit and I loved it. It is so worn out though and it is definitely time for a new one. Why do they have to be so expensive? Are the immodest ones cheaper? They must be because they have way less fabric. Who knows but what's a girl to do she has to have a cute swimsuit. Hey if I can find one here for cheaper that would be great! I am going to drop Jacob off at my moms for a little bit while I go shopping, he is excited about that. He hates clothes shopping! To be honest I don't like clothes shopping with him much either. I can't really spend the time I want so I think swimsuit shopping alone is a good idea. Oh ya...I got my first pair of prescription sunglasses. I am so in love with them. I never wear sunglasses because I am blind with out my glasses and contacts don't do well in my eyes anymore. Wish my luck in my swimsuit finding endeavors today!

Well Hello
Well we never got a hamster or a fish. No pets for now, but if we come across a lab puppy I don't know if I can resist. I just want a puppy to feel my baby need because no babies are coming our way anytime soon.
Why am I such a slacker in my blogging lately? Hopefully with the summer will come more time to blog. Here (in list style again...I need to stop doing this) is our summer plans:
Girls Camp (already happened, it was a blast, especially because I got to got with my best buddy)
Twilight Camp next week. It's a Cub Scout camp at night, Jacob loves it and I help staff it.
California here we come, YAY, I am so excited to go this year it has been two years and that is way too long. Thanks dad and Cheryl, we love you guys and can't wait to see you!
2 Days after we get back I leave for Wood badge Training (leadership training done by the Boy Scouts of America that applies to all leadership in your life) camp for 6 whole days. Let's just say I haven't been exactly thrilled about this one. The Bishop asked me to go and that's pretty much why I am going. My attitude about it is getting better. I know I will have a great time and learn a ton. I really don't want to leave my family for 6 whole days!!! I will go and do the things that the Lord wants me to do...right?
There you go a snapshot of our summer. Should be busy and fun. Today Jacob has a friend coming over in the morning and a friend in the afternoon. He will be busy and maybe I can get some stuff done around here...maybe not. Tomorrow we are going to Fossil Rim, such a cool place. We went last year and it was amazing. It is where the animals come right up to your car and you can feed them and pet them, even giraffes, can't wait!
