Summer Kickoff

So yesterday after church Ryan came up to me and asked if Michelle was at church today and I said no because her aunt and uncle were leaving to go back to Texas and that it was her mom's birthday. She told me that she needed for us to get together and have a small Girls Camp meeting and wanted to know if we could have it at Michelle's house and have a little swim party. I said that I didn't have any plans for Monday but I needed to call Michelle and make sure she didn't have any plans. So I did and she didn't. I called Ryan and let her know and she said that she would bring hot dogs and buns and I said I would bring some chips. So this afternoon Michelle sent Ashley over to pick the kids and I up. When we got there Ryan wasn't there yet. She called and said she was running a little late. But we all expected that from her. We love you Ryan but we all know you are never on time for anything. Anyway when she finally got there the kids and Ryan all got in the pool. Michelle and I didn't swim. We just sat out by the pool and talked to Ryan and watched the kids swim. Later we cooked the hot dogs and Michelle put out some of the leftover food from Ashley's Graduation and we all ate. Of course the kids went right back into the pool. Ryan Michelle and I all cleaned up and then hung out and talked a little more. So I guess you could say that today was sort of the unofficial kickoff to Michelle's Summer Swim Parties. It was great.

After Ryan left Michelle and I went upstairs to cool down because it was really hot outside today. Michelle blogged and I took a small nap. About an hour later we decided to do a little project that I had gotten in my scrapbooking kit but it tuned out to be a little harder than we thought it was going to be so we decided to make it a two day project instead of driving ourselves crazy trying to finish it in one day. Anyway I will post a picture of it on here when it is finally finished. I hope it turns out as good as I am picturing it in my head.

At about 6:30 Ashley took me back home but I left the kids at Michelle's house because they wanted to spend the night. Really I think they just didn't want to stop swimming. I asked her if she was sure she wanted both at the same time (she already has seven of her own for those of you that don't know already) and she said yes that was fine. Anyway it tuned out great for me because Dale and I haven't had a lot of alone time together in a few months, with all his overtime at work and me getting ready for Girls Camp, so we went to get a quick bite to eat at the local Chinese restaurant. The foods wasn't that great but the time we had together even though it was only about and hour was great. I guess what they say is right its not what you do or how long you are together but just that you get to spend time alone together is what is important. I love my husband.

Well I guess I should head to bed now. Its just me and the dogs tonight. Quiet here with just us.
