Sleepover Summer

Last week I had Kamden sleepover. This was very different from Kaileigh!

Kam wanted to watch a movie and eat popcorn! He likes my Kettle Corn. About half way through  the movie he decided it was bedtime. And he was out!

Feeding the ducks is a must when there is a sleepover. First a few...

And then a lot!!!! He was so excited to have so may ducks visit! We should have brought more bread!

He needed a sibling with him. Pool time and the park were just not as fun without someone to play with.. and we didn't have any toys to swim/play with. But-- we had a great time!

This week Kinsee and Kallen both came! 

This was the 6:30 PM car ride to my house...hmmm thankfully second wind came so we could--

Feed the ducks!

By the time they were done feeding the ducks there were about 30 wanting food. The kids kind of freaked out :-)

We didn't have a lot of time in the morning--so they swam in the hot tub for a bit!

They had a great time!

Kaileigh was so sad she didn't get to come either time. She is counting down to next week when it is her turn again. Aunt Jennie doesn't sleep too well lately so this may have to be the last sleepover for awhile. But it sure is fun to have them come see me!

Work has really slowed down. I am still swimming my laps! It's been a good Summer so far-- my trip to DC is coming closer yay!

Hot, Hot, HOT

I really don't love AZ Summers. It is about 108*. SO.HOT...and it's only getting worse. It's sad when I look forward to the low 100's. 

I have started swimming! I have forgotten how much I enjoy swimming laps. I swim for about 40 min. I think I am getting about 1,800 meters in. Or yards, don't know what kind of pool I'm swimming in. It feels great to be active again. My neck/shoulders are pretty tight so I need to stretch and take care of that.... but yay for me! A few weeks ago I was feeling smaller so I decided to weigh myself-- I have lost 10 pounds since I last checked! That's 18 from my heaviest (last Summer?) Now that I am swimming I hope to lose that final 15! Keep me motivated friends!

I went to my yearly "girl" exam.....All ok. I was most interested in my MRI from Dec checking on the effects of my surgery last year. All is going as it should. The fibroids are still large, but at least smaller. He said they would never disappear, but at least doing what they should. My periods are a TON better so I'm fine with that! Then he told me I have 4 years to decide if I want any babies. If I were to have a baby then I may have to have surgery to remove the fibroids first as they would get large again with pregnancy hormones--which would be bad because they would take up uterus room the baby would need. It was kind of hard to realize that yes, I am just over 4 years away from turning 40--and no, I don't have any children-- or any prospects for that matter. One of those moments when you think--- when I was a teenager my life was planned-- get married and have my first baby by 24 (I wanted to be younger than my Mom was when she had me, which was 29). But then 24 came and went.... a marriage came and went... and here I am wondering what Heavenly Father knows and is not telling me. A trial of my faith? Yes. Will I someday be happy and have all my heart desires? Yes, just hard to see it from here.

Work has come to a standstill. It is a good day if I have more than 2 massages. Makes me a little stressed. Thankfully people have bought the groupon for the spa so it should be ok. Come see me?!!!
