OH my gosh…I woke up this past week and realized July is GONE!
I’ve been so busy I haven’t been able to blog or hardly sit! In the past two weeks, Dan and I have gone and done SO much! I’ll start with me…I’ve attended a Toastmasters Meeting, a Kiwanis Meeting, was nominated for President of the Dickinson YP, hit 90 days of being a Pampered Chef Consultant, painted, flew to Nebraska to visit the Center for Rural Entrepreneurship, had my haircut, did two Pampered Chef parties, and had strategic planning at work---phew!!! Daniel hasn’t been sitting at home either—he is down to 5 days a week, and Thank God! But he’s been to Grand Forks to have a boy-weekend. One of his close friends, Chris, is going to Kosovo with the guards in August and the buys wanted to throw him a good-bye party. Dan has also become eligible for a promotion and will go through the training and take the test sometime in August! He’s been becoming a regular at the gym again and is the chief dog-walker in the house!
One ‘little’ surprise that Daniel came home to this past week was that when he took off to Grand Forks, I decided to paint a majority of the inside of the house. In fact—every room in the upstairs is different than when we moved in! I’d like to do a shout-out to Aunt Janice for helping with the bedroom! I’m not putting pics up, because those that are coming to the housewarming party (on 8-8) will get a full unveiling and I want to make sure the surprise is intact! But to give you a preview I bought dusty rose, seasonal green, seafoam, muslin, harvest wheat, crisp toast, elephant gray, teal, and firewater! Hooray for color. You’ll have to ask Daniel for his reaction, it did take a couple days to get used to it!
This past weekend, Nancy and Larry came. It was a great day; we went to breakfast and headed out to the golf course! This was our first official time golfing for the season and all things considered, we did really well! It was great for them to take us because it reminded us that we really enjoy going together and we need to make time to go. Daniel got a 2 on one hole…he lost two balls and then gave up! I only lost one for the whole day, but when you aren’t hitting them very far—you don’t have to worry about searching too far! I won’t mention how many he lost!
Just to let you know what’s coming up, If you are reading the blog…you are invited to our housewarming party—it is on August 8th come anytime in the afternoon! Also we are having a rummage sale on August 15th….you can buy our slightly loved things or drop things off for us to put out!
so if you were "nominated" did you get it? Inguiring minds want to know
