AUGUST

WHOA, I can't believe it is already August; is this year just flying by to everyone else, too? Because I feel like I just did August ... what a fun August Jon and I had last year- we went to Vegas for Mandy and Cody's wedding-- FANTASTIC TIME, we did the family august birthday celebration, always so fun to get together with the whole fam, LEAH and JEREMY's wedding-- again super fun, and then I started my final year of grad school.

HOLY COW IT HAS BEEN A FULL YEAR!

B*O*B

Jon gave me BOB last night, yep, he is the BRAVEST man ever... he gave me a book about changing your life and getting in shape. Now, before you judge-- I mentioned the last time we were perusing Hastings that I would LOVE to have that book. It was an off the cuff remark and apparenlty he filed it away and surprised me with it last night. :) I was so excited I took a picture of it!

I LOVE BOB on BL, I am BLUE team fan all the way! I am excited to start reading this and, hey maybe I will learn a thing or two about being in shape and staying in shape. I remember when I was in high school and junior high and it was so easy. JEEZ!!

Jon gave me another present the other day, for my new phone, to keep it looking brand new!

Isn't it pretty?! YES! It is shockingly pink, I wasn't sure I liked it at first, but it is growing on me as the days pass. :)

He has definitely done more than his part to cheer me up on the rough days .... he is so great!

After our date the other night, we felt bad because Big couldn't come so, we gave him some extra attention- he hopped in laundry basket and so I packed him in.... it was hilarious!

I just realized....

I have almost had the blog for an entire year.... WHAT A FAST YEAR! Seriously, I can't believe that "24" has gone by so quickly... and they only say it gets faster. YIKES!!!



Mandy suggested this today on her blog - and I agree, how addicting is this... www.postsecret.blogspot.com
