I also meant...

to mention the Olympics in the last post. I have had so much fun watching them so far, I'm becoming a little addicted, at least in that I like to have the TV tuned in to the games, even if I'm not sitting down watching them!

Last night's Men's 4 X 100m Freestyle Relay was pretty incredible, I feel priviledged to have been able to witness it! I feel like a dork because it put me in tears watching it. I don't really cry all that often over regular things, but when it invloves sports the tears seem to well up quite a bit! Even movies, I've seen some sad movies in my time that probably SHOULD have made me cry, one movie though I remember watching that really did make me cry a ton was the Prefontane movie...hmmm. A little odd I know.

Just been hanging out

The time is winding down for me here in MO. I have had a wonderful time hanging out with my parents and getting to visit with my sister and the kiddo's often. I'm going to miss them a ton after I leave at the end of this week.

What's coming up over this next month and a half you might ask? Tomorrow I'm heading down to Arkansas to visit with Matt's Mom and Grandmother. I figured I was just a state away I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get down there, Matt will definitely be missed, but that is ok, our time apart is only another month and and two weeks, we can do it!

After Arkansas I'll be back here in MO for a day to celebrate my dad's birthday, then, off to Canada for a week! I'm SO EXCITED about spending some time there. My grandparents have a cottage up there and usually family comes up all summer long to visit the beautiful area. I will try to take some pictures so I can share about the trip, even though that is not my speciality, I will try.

Then...it's off to the Cape! I will spend four weeks there before the wedding, just getting ready. I don't have a ton to do. It's been nice that I've been able to do a lot of stuff online and on the phone, but there are just some things I do need to be there for. Besides it's a great excuse to spend some extended time on the Cape before the wedding! It brings me back to my college years when I spent every summer out there and had a fabulous time! I can't wait to see everyone when they come out for the wedding!

Matt has been doing pretty good, though it remains tough to be apart. I just miss him too much, sometimes it feels overwhelming how much I miss him! Anyways, he has been working (doing a great job I might add) on the house (painting and fixing things) and on the Porsche, he been keeping it maintained and in good working order... there have been a few hiccups, but that is all part of the learning process! I think he's also been enjoying the Wii he got for his birthday last month, so between that and work, he is keeping busy. I feel bad that I've been able to keep myself busy this summer planning trips and visiting people, and he has just been going to work day in and day out. The summer time has flown by for me, but I don't think it's gone as fast for him. I'm glad it's almost over though. Finally!

Alright, I've got quite a bit of stuff I have to get started on here for my day! Sorry about no pictures in this one! I'll try, to take some for the next post!
