I think I'll browse my iCal and see if I can remember what's happened in the last few months. Maybe I should just figure out how to PDF it and use that as a blog post? That'd be the most accurate account of my life, really.
Heregoes.
April
I lost like 15 pounds since January. And then, nothing happened. I tried and tried my hardest and nothing else happened. So, here I am, back to nachos and sitting on my ass. It's a vicious cycle.
We went to Wendover for the guys' golf tournament, in which they all did extremely well. They "win money" which translates to clubhouse play money. Apparently you can't actually get paid since getting paid makes you a professional, and lets be honest, they sure as shit aren't professionals.....So they get pretend money credit to buy crap they don't need in the pro shop. Manuel ended up getting a new bag, which was pretty funny to watch him lust after because I get that same look in my eyes when looking at new bags....

Manuel and I celebrated our 3-year anniversary.
* Can I get a collective "awwwwww!"? *
We adopted a Japanese baby earlier in the year and decided it was our valentines/anniversary gift to each other. He's a lovely 40-something inch, HD, LCD 8-bazillion megapixel, 5,000,000,000,000 refresh rate, 569-ram, par-9 Vizio. Yeah, that sounds about right.
May
I went to Bear Lake with Laura and spent some quality girl time. It was a much needed getaway. I read and knitted. I also wogged and did some yoga on the beach. Overall a very amazing time.
I went to the dentist AND eyedoctor.... What my eyes lack, apparently my teeth make up for. I've only had 4 cavities EVER, but I'm going blind. I tentatively asked how strong they made contacts before they just had to put you down because you were blind. He assured me that I still have a ways to go. I kindof don't believe him. I ordered two jackass pairs of glasses off Zennioptical.com which is a pretty rad place to buy glasses if your eyes insist on sucking harder year after year. They're super cheap. Look a lot like coke bottle bottoms, but super cheap. Even with the "extra strength" fee. Yeah. That's a thing.
I had a birthday. I've decided that 29 is harder than 30. This is purely speculation since I've not actually reached 30 yet, but that's sortof the point. 29 is an entire year of anticipating turning 30. Uncool, friends. Uncool.
Remember when 30 sounded... like.... really fucking old? Yeah.
I got spoiled, ate a lot and spent time with the bests.

We went camping for Memorial Day up above Bear Lake. It was a supercold bitch and even snowed on us. The boys went riding and got just a little bit muddy. We ended up leaving early because everyone was tired of being cold and wet. The time we did spend up there though was pretty rad.

June
June was pretty uneventful. Manny and Erica were cram-traning for the Ragnar Wasatch Back Relay. They both survived, which was a good. Manny ended up running farther than anticipated but did really well. They were proud of themselves, even if everyone else thinks they're batshit bonkers.
I hosted a BeadforLife party at my house, selling paper jewelry made by Women in Uganda. So far I think I've raised about $800. Go check out their website, it's really neat. I'm glad to be able to help these women empower themselves through work. Everything is fairtrade, meaning that most of the money goes back to them. They're paid decent wages.
Super cheesy, but everytime I look at the jewelry I've bought, I feel connected in a weird way. I feel something for these women that made these gorgeous things. Just to think about where they've come from and why makes you stop and think about life a little.
Which now brings us to July, and the raddest vacation ever. Which hopefully will end up being its own blog post sometime before November.
