Ginormous Update

Ok, so work got a little busy there for the last few weeks so I slacked on my blogging. But I did store up all the fun events that I wanted to blog about. These are the three I remember.

I take my car back to the dealership I bought it from to get my oil changed, a) because they have this deal where if I do I get free tires (which I did a few months ago) and b) because it gives me a good exuse to go to Spokane every three months. Anyway a few weekends ago Kevin and I went to Spokane to get my car serviced and just play around. We went to the mall and were walking aroung and he offered to treat me to a mani/pedi. I know, he's super! I had never had a mani or a pedi before so I agreed. It was super nice. I took pictures of my toes and fingers for all to see.

Toes:



As a side note, I started out the trip wearing cute pink mary jane's but realized it has to be a sin to cover up toes after a pedicure so I had to go to the shoe store and buy some new flip-flops. It was such a hard sacrifice.

Fingers:



So that was a fun new experience for me. By the way the manicure lasted about 4 days, but the pedicure lasted ... well ... until 2 days ago when I started gardening (see below).

Next, since Monday was Memorial day, Kevin had a day off work. So he and I decided to go down to Twin Falls and visit his family. His parents have a "cabin" by a river near Hagerman. So we all hung out there for the weekend. Here's a synopsis of the weekend: watch a movie, sleep, watch another movie, eat, watch another movie, sleep, go to bed and sleep some more, wake up, eat breakfast, watch a movie, sleep, ... I think you get the point. Anyway, it was super relaxing and a nice way to unwind after school is out. I hate to say it but I suck at taking pictures so I don't have any pictures to post of that. I'm sorry. I'm working on channneling my inner Tish.

Now, this week. The odd things outside my apartment that somewhat resembled flower gardens finally got to me.



You thought I was joking, didn't you?

I spent Tuesday and Wednesday cleaning them out (there is one on either side of my door). It was a lot of work! But I got it done. This is what they look like now.



You can't really see it but I left a rosebush in there. I hope it survives. It was barely alive because it was being choked out by all the grass and weeds. Oh, and as a side note, every muscle in my body has been aching since then.

That's all my updates for now. I will try and keep up better now that it's summer.

Your toes and fingernails look wonderful. That is always so much fun. Your flower garden is a huge change for the better. Wow!

I've never had a manicure. I'm so lame. I love your new flip flops. They are super cute.
Next time you go to the cabin in Twin, I expect lots of pictures. Make me proud.
