Summer... so far...

As I have said, most of my summer has been spent driving and working.  It has been mostly been the same for Eddie too.  However, we have had a moment or two to spare for some fun.  Being in Jonesboro 3 days a week has gotten me some time with the nephews--- which I love!  I miss them all the time, but I feel I haven't missed as much as I will once school starts back.  I enjoy the moments I get with them.  They grow so fast!

Also, since Eddie was supposed to work on the 4th, I figured I might as well too.  But, Eddie lucked out and was only on call.  I went to Jonesboro to work and when I got off, Eddie was able to meet me in Cherokee Village at my dad's for our 4th of July/ Dad's birthday dinner.  It was good and I'm glad we got to do that.  Heidi made ribs and we had strawberry shortcake for dessert.  Yum!  Got to watch the boat parade, they did a helicopter fly over which was pretty darn cool, and the fireworks of course!

We also had the opportunity to help with Vacation Bible School at St. James.  It was a new experience for me!  It was a fun experience, for sure!  I helped with the skits that the Youth Group kids put on for the little kids.  It was way fun and I had some good sports help me out.  One of my girls dressed up like a clown everyday that week and she had such a good attitude about it.  I was really thankful she was willing to do that. 

We finally found our pool!  It has been the best investment ever!  If I'm not at Walgreens or at Dad's store, then I'm laying in or beside the pool reading!  That's my idea of the best kind of day.  Eddie finds it boring so if he is off we have to find something to entertain him but... our back yard is now a paradise for me.... and Bruce Wayne!!  HAHA

We celebrated our anniversary too.  Eddie got a new bow from me as you have already read about.  He got me a pair of earrings!  YAYE!  He did good!  We celebrated the next day because he was working of course... but that's just how life goes these days. 

Last weekend we were all over the place.  Eddie was off Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Friday we made a trip to Branson for a little shopping time.  I had fun.  I'm not sure how much Eddie enjoyed it.  I'm sure we will be going back and going to the amusement parks next time instead of shopping.  Haha.  We also went to Russellville to go to our friends' engagement party.  Kaci is in school with me and her fiance has become friends with Eddie.  We had a good time meeting their family and friends.  I can't wait for their wedding!

That's about it for now.  I think the pool and my lounge chair is calling my name-- Eddie's asleep still soooooo... lol... I'll take advantage of this opportunity.  I hope everyone else is having a wonderful summer!
