I've noticed on Facebook today that quite a few friends are updating their blog posts today so I thought if all the cool kids are doing it, I should do it too! That's just logical. (Besides, I am in the process of downloading about 300 pictures of my sister-in-law's wedding to make a wedding album for my mother-in-law so I'm kinda stuck to my computer while this all goes on anyway.) So hi!
We are still in Iowa and will remain here until the end of July. (Actually, this is not quite correct. I will be home in Chicago on the 8th of July until the 14th and then back to Iowa and then up to Michigan for Josie and Tyler's wedding (YEA!) THEN back to Missouri.) So I guess I should technically say we won't be back home until the end of July. The 26th I believe? Maybe? I can't remember. A long time.
In any case, we are enjoying our time here. Luke is working with his dad which he's been having a lot of fun doing, and I've been hanging out with my mother-in-law which I have a lot of fun doing. I have to say, and I've said this before, I could not ask for better in-laws. Luke too. I am so glad we both get along so well with the other one's family. It's wonderful. Last night in fact, we went on a little double date with Luke's parents to a jazz concert. So much fun and the music was amazing. What a fun night!! I'm looking forward to the weekend so we can all spend some time together and no one has to work. :)
(Oh good. My pictures are finished downloading.)
While we've been here, since I am the only one not working, I was able to spend some time with Luke's grandparents (Overton) and his cousins (Thomas). The shower for Josie and Tyler went really really well and I think everyone had a really good time. Then a few days ago I went for mani/pedis with Josie and Nella. Fun girl time! That same day I was able to just sit and chat with Grandma Overton which was really really nice too. I just love Luke's family!
Geeze...I think that's it. Short blog today. And since my pictures are done, I have to reason to sit here anymore. Guess I should shower, huh?
Oh. And Kylie is fine.
And one more thing for those of you keeping score at home. The welts/hives we thought we had? Chiggers. (Not an allergic reaction to Oxyclean as previously thought. Good thing we rewashed EVERYTHING WE OWNED...) Little nasty red spawns of Satan who apparently dig themselves under your skin and make themselves at home until your body figures it out and attacks and kills them internally. Or you use nail polish. I am not even going to tell you as to where I had to have nail polish. All I'll say is Luke and I have now taken our relationship to a whole 'nother level...(TMI? You'll be fine.You weren't the one polishing or being polished.) And ticks. In 29 years I've never had a bite other than a mosquito or presumable a spider. In one month alone, days apart, I've had chiggers ALL OVER and 2 ticks. And this wasn't just from Iowa. Missouri is to blame for the chiggers. Can we move back to Chicago yet??? I'm kinda done with the country and "nature".
Ok really I'm done now. Enjoy your weekend and STAY COOL!!!!!
