Enjoying Our "Make Believe World"

This summer Mikey and I have been enjoying a rare experience, which will probably never repeat itself until retirement. We have both been off school and off work! Mikey's sister, Michelle, keeps asking us how we're enjoying our "make believe world," as this is definitely not a dose of reality. But, yes, we are loving it, as short-lived as it is (seeing that Mikey's summer classes start this week).

The other morning while we were enjoying slowly waking up, Mikey rolled over and suggested, "Hey, let's go to the Logan Temple today." So guess what! We did! We took the whole day, drove up, grabbed some lunch on the way, went through a session, and stopped for some chocolate-covered honeycomb at the Blue Bird Cafe on the way home. What a perfect day!


So, that's the kind of stuff we've been up to. Being together, keeping up on laundry (much easier during the summer than during the school year), reading books, seeing movies, and getting shave ice. Though it'll be quickly coming to an end, we've enjoyed our make believe world.

Reunion-ing!

Wow, 10 years!? This weekend is really my ten year high school reunion!? In a lot of ways it seems like yesterday I was in high school. When I get together with my cute high school buddies (which isn't often enough) it's like we haven't skipped a beat. But then when I think about all the things that have changed since then, it seems like forever. I mean, we didn't even have our own cell phones in high school and now I have third graders in my class that have their own cell phones! Things have changed a little.

I'm excited to go reminisce this weekend. I hope a lot of friends can make it. There are a lot of people I'd love to see. High school was fun...I'm okay that it's over...but it was great while it lasted. :) Enjoy a couple pics from then & now:

This was a couple weeks ago at a baby shower for my good friend, Alisha. Not everyone was able to make it, but we had so much fun!

Even though we don't see each other often, I'm so glad I've been able to keep in contact with so many special friends. Love you guys!
