Where Did July Go?
I find myself asking this question over and over again...Where did July and 2010 go? I guess we started off this month with a long extended weekend to the northwoods to celebrate the Fourth of July.
The next weekend we spent it celebrating the marriage of our good friends Kevin and Maria. They had a great ceremony in Grafton...I read some scripture for the ceremony. We ate some really German food, toasted with a Jaeger shot, watched the groom and groomsmen complete a glockenspiel dance, quite entertaining, and danced the night away! We also played chauffer for them and got them to their hotel room for their first night as a married couple. Congratulations to them!
After the wedding we headed up to Fon Du Lac for Scott's cousin Bethy's graduation. It was really good to see family and play a very entertaining game of volleyball, which I am surprised no one lost an eye or something!
Last weekend was Fish Day. Scott was on call all weekend, and during the day of Fish Day. He got to drive the Ambulance around town following the run/walkers in the morning, then he was in the parade waving to all the excited little kids! He was quite handsome in his uniform! After the parade he went golfing and I went home to take a nap, the sun was scorching (I got burned during the parade), and I was not feeling too well. Scott went back on call at 10pm for the remaining weekend, so we watched the fireworks from the fire station and he got called right at 11pm, so I hung out at the station with a few of the firefighters and chief till they got back.
Sunday we had lunch with Scott's family, looked at a house (didn't like it), softball practice, then stayed in and watched a movie and ate popcorn. The best ending to a stressful weekend.
This weekend Scott has a softball tournament for the fire department, we are watching Scott's co-workers dog Mason! And I am going to Eric and Carol's for Cadens 3rd birthday party! WOW! I CANNOT believe she is 3 already! When did that happen?
All the busy weekends have been of course interspersed with busy weeks. Scott has softball on Monday nights, EMS practice most Wednesday nights, and we play volleyball Thursday nights. Plus we try to hang out with some friends at least once a week. So to answer the question...Where has July and 2010 gone? I have no idea. Please let me know if you find it hiding in a corner or some other obscure place!

Blessings
I was ready Krystin's blog and came upon the blessings, so here are just a few things Scott and I are thankful for...
- Our salvation in Christ
- God providing sufficiently for us
- Our love for eachother
- Both of our jobs and their flexibility
- Cars that are somewhat reliable
- Money to fix those somewhat reliable cars
- Family and friends letting us use their cars when our somewhat reliable cars need to be fixed
- Our awesome families and the additions that are growing in great numbers
- The many friends we have and the many more we will meet
- A roof over our heads that can be cooled when needed
- Being able to communicate with family all over the world
These are just some of the things we are blessed with. I could go on but I do not want to bore you. Have a great day!

Independence Day!
Scott and I both took off on Friday to get a head start on the weekend and we are really glad we did.
We headed up north to Three Lakes (by Eagle River) to visit his Nanna and Grandpa. We arrived mid afternoon and imediately started to relax. As the day went on we found ourselves indulging in the peace and quiet of the great northwoods. Friday we stuffed our face with a fish fry or in my case I had shrimp fettucini alfredo, and spent the night talking with family.
Saturday we visited our friends, who were also up north 15 min. away, we went water skiing, played some bags, and party barged across the lake. To say the least we could not move on Sunday because we were so sore from skiing Saturday.
Sunday we bathed in the lake, there is nothing like jumping in a semi-cold lake early in the morning to wake you up, then headed out to the parade. It was quite entertaining to see my father-in-law and Scott's aunt fighting for candy. I think they were having more fun with the candy than the kids next to us. A sunny morning lead into a cloudy and rainy afternoon. Scott went fishing and I took a four hour nap and tried to read my book. Since it rained all day the fireworks were canceled, oh well we will catch them next year!
Monday we headed home after some more skiing and some battle tubing with Scott's cousin and her fiance. I think we are still recovering from the torture our bodies went through. All in all we spent the weekend stuffing our face with great food from Nanna and great company with family. We hope you all had a great 4th of July!

To cut or not to cut?
A few months ago I got a haircut which was much needed, 6 months needed. I went into the salon feeling confident because I loved the haircut I had. So when I sat down in the chair for the pre-washing consult, she started describing the haircut where it is short in the back and longer in the front, I said I am not a big fan of that type of haircut, but I really like the one I had.
Off we go to clean the hair, get a hand massage and a hot towel on the head. Me, still feeling confident I am going to get the same haircut.
After that lovely stuff is done, we go back to her chair and she starts cutting, and making small conversation. To make a long story short...I finally got out of the salon an hour later, late for work and now not at all feeling confident with my haircut or myself.
I left there with 5 minutes to get to a job I just started, it was at least a 15 minute drive, the shortest hair I have EVER had, and a shaved neck. I was trying hard not to cry on my way to work hopeing no one was waiting for me to open the doors, and trying to think of who to call at 10 in the morning that wasn't working, or at school to vent to about a haircut I hated.
The first weeks was an adventure. I kept playing with my hair, I wouldn't look at the back of my hair, and I kept it pulled back because I thought it was ugly. As it grew I learned how to style it and eventually I learned to like it.
Now it is coming to the three month mark when people with a style like mine need to get another cut because it is getting really long. Here is my dilemma...Do I keep the same cut, or should I go back to the cut I love? Do I try to grow it out a little more to go back to that style? I am now just starting to be able to pull it back into a ponytail which is great for really hot days, but I still have a little more growth to go. Please help me, I have no idea what to do.

Infomercials
Lately I have had some time to myself in the morning, after Scott leaves and before I go to work at the lovely hour of 10am! My regular routine is either work out, house work, and then drink coffee and lay on the couch watching CSI. So addicted to that.
Every now and then during the comercials there comes an infomercial that just really makes me crack up. Recently it has been shakeweight, this dumbell with a sliding tube around the handle that shakes back and forth, which could be mistaken for a lude act if held in the right area. Too funny if you have ever seen this infomercial.
The one that really caught my eye this morning was for Barelift. This product really had me laughing. Let me paint you a picture...think of packaging tape cut into a half moon with a handle on the top so you can "lift" and stick. I guess what you are supposed to do is tape it around your nipple then pull up to make it look like you are wearing a bra. It was absolutely rediculous. They were claiming you could wear backless and strapless shirts and dresses and no one would even know you were not wearing a bra. It all sounded way too good.
To say the least it is pretty incredible of what people think of these days to make a quick buck. Have a great day!
