Michael & Keia: Welcome to Our World: Ready, Set, Summer!

Well, I know it's just the beginning of summer, but I cannot wait for days off at the pool, trips to the beach, fireworks, cookouts, watermelon, Twilight: Eclipse, and of course, Michael's favorite...the WOLRD CUP!!! The olympics of football - every four years. This past week I bought all of the England flags we could possibly need - car flags, garden flags, bumper sticker flags - and when I told Michael his first response was "Did you get one I can wear as a cape?!" Well....no, I didn't think of that one. :/ We will be properly outfitted as England fans nonetheless! If you don't have enough of your team's random things, go here to stock up!

Michael has adjusted suprisingly well to working nights. I've woken up several times in a half panic because I don't know where he is, but eventually it comes back to me that he's at work! I'm finally, for real, working on finishing my final class to graduate from BYU, which means masters program applications this fall, and back to school full time next year! As it turns out, retail sucks. :)

Early last month we planned a nice quiet get away to the beach, just me and Michael, no interruptions, no obligations...just sand, ocean, and relaxation. Around the first of this month we found out that the very weekend we had picked was my dad's class reunion - on the very same beach. AND my brother was going to be going down to Florida to visit my grandparents - 30 min from the beach. So, why not make it a family reunion also and have Sara and Joe and the boys come too?? So, our quiet weekend alone is now a quiet weekend alone, with the whole family. :) We're looking forward to having some time to get away and enjoy the beach, and also getting to spend some quality time with my grandparents and aunt and uncle and brother and parents and sister and her family! :) We also will get to party like its 1965(or somewhere near there) and listen to my dad and his old high school band play(not like, marching band...like, night club band). Should be an unforgettable night! :)

In my dream world, we will also be getting a new car :) In reality, we probably won't be getting my car's replacement until early next year or so. BUT, here's what I have in mind....
