I have no pictures for this post.
I know some of you don't care, but I'm a big picture girl. A visual being. Artsy fartsy. So I just thought I'd throw that out there in case anyone decided not to continue reading my blog post because it has no pictures.
No? Still going? Well arlright then.
This last month and a half-ish have been crazy. I'm talking insane crazy. We had two back to back family reunions and we celebrated Jake's 29th birthday. For his birthday I put a bunch of fun facts all around the house about the number 29. Things like,
"29 is a PRIME number...and age!"
"There are 29 letters in the Sweedish alphabet...mmmmm, sweedish fish."
and "Jake, I'm sorry but at the age of 29 you are no longer elligible to audition for American Idol - I know it was a dream:)".
Those are just a few....but I'm dorky like that. We both are. That's why we do it. I hope he had a good birthday though. The boys made his birthday sign this year with finger paints. It was groovy. Probably the most colorful birthday sign I have ever seen. Loved it. Love them.
After that the boys and I went to Utah for back to back family reunions. Before we left I put post-it notes all over the house in random places for Jake to find while we were gone. Most of the sayings were just inside jokes or favorite quotes from movies that I knew would make Jake laugh really hard. I even put one on the inside of the toilet lid that said, "You're my #1". I had no idea that a friend that came to stay with Jake (Jeremy) would be seeing it too. I think it left a good impression. Jake left ALL the sticky notes up.............and the birthday sign.
He loves us.
As far as the reunions go, they were intense! I don't think the boys have had that much fun in a long time. We played with cousins, rode on a tractor, had olympics, went fishing and four wheeling, slid down a water slide, ate popsicles and waaaaaaaay to much food, sang in a talent show and partied like it was 1999.
I know what you're thinking. You wish I had pictures. Well, let me tell something to jew; so do I. (Hint hint to anyone who has pictures of our family during the reunion that they want to send us:)
When we got back to Dallas it was 108 degrees plus humidity up the wazoo. I'm not sure the percentage, I just know that when I walk outside it feels like I've stepped into a sauna. BlllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaH! So to be honest, I wish I was back in Utah - with Jake this time though.
Scratch that.
I wish we were in California. Done with school. And we had a backyard. And we lived happily ever after.
The End.
Picture that!
