I would like to be able to say "Hello, summer!". But unfortunately, though the time has been going by fast...its still COLD.
I really shouldn't complain though because the end of April Blake and I went on a cruise with his family to the Western Caribbean. In fact, it was the exact same cruise we did for our honeymoon. Almost three years later! It was so fun. We definitely got our fill of heat and sun. We had all been planning on this cruise for a LOOONG time so it was nice that we finally were able to make it happen. And boy oh boy can I just say traveling with 9 people is CRAZY?! But still very awesome.
I will write another post on the cruise later. But as you can see...well..sort of...Blake and I decided NOT to leave for the summer and tech. AHHH! It was a hard decision, and with the things we are having to figure out right now..we're kind of wondering if we made the right decision. The reason we decided to stay was so that we could have a summer to play! And make some more memories with our families. We have been doing the tech thing each summer since we have been married. So it was time to take a break from it. It's kind of made us nervous because the money is SOOO good, but things will work out. I'm still working and Blake is job hunting.
And now I actually get to go home for a week in summer which I'm SO excited about. Blake has never been to Utah in the summer, so I'm excited for him to experience seeing it at that time. Another exciting thing and determining factor..is one of my best friends is getting married in June! I could NOT miss another one! So we have that coming up in a couple of weeks.
The only downside to not going? Well, of course the money. But also the place that we are living it always worked out so well because the landlords would always come home at the end of June until the beginning of September. It worked out SO perfectly because that is when we would get home. Well....they're still coming home at the end of June. And we have to find a place to live for two months. TWO months! It'll be a miracle if we can find a place that won't make us BROKE in the two months we need to stay there and that will allow pets. So for now that is our major focus.
We have 3 weeks to get things figured out, packed, and cleaned. Blake is also trying to find a job, and I am still working while we have to do all this. So our lives are preeeeeeeeeeetty exciting if you couldn't tell!
I'm so glad we decided to stay though. I've actually never been here for a summer either since being married. So the change is nice.
Also, can I just brag about how good of a dog we have? Seriously. I recommend to anyone who wants a dog..to get a french bulldog. They are the best behaved, smartest, funniest little companion you could ever have. Not high maintenance at ALL. He is great and we sure love him lot's! It's crazy too look back at pictures and see how SMALL he was when we got him. He is going to be a year in July! Ah! My baby. You better believe I'm going to be having a little birthday party for him. So spoiled. I think we're going to be in trouble when we have kids. Luckily, that is in the very, very distant future. ;)
