The past month in a nut shell!

Ok so let me start by admitting what a complete slacker I have been for the past month!! I have been busy/lazy and that = no posting! I will start from the beginning. On July 19 Jessie and I ran another 5k, she kicked my butt again by like 3 or 4 whole minutes. I did improve on my time and this race felt way better than my first one did so that was good and hopefully I can do another one before the summer is over.

Mike's little brother Bryan came and stayed with us for a week before he went to EFY. I think he was bored out of his mind the whole time and played hours upon hours of wii. While Bryan was here I decided that it would be a good idea to go lay out with one of my favorite friends in the world, Karly, for a few hours. It was pioneer day and I didn't have to go to work, so I just decided to do one of my absolute favorite things. Well considering that I have not been tanning in like a year and it was over 100 degrees that day, it was a very bad idea. To make my very bad idea even worst, I did not put any sunscreen on, I just sprayed my self from head to toe in tanning oil. I ended up getting pretty much the worst sunburn of my whole life. This was the mother of all sunburns. I figured out that the blistering meant that it was a second degree burn. I literally laid in bed for about 4 days. I am still peeling (the grossest thing of my life) and it has been almost 3 weeks! Needless to say I have learned my lesson and will always wear at least 30 SPF sunscreen. (You didn't think i was going to swear off tanning did you??) Karly did save my life however by introducing me to the show Prison Break which I am totally obsessed with! I am done with the whole first season and am anxiously awaiting season two from her :)

Mike has been very busy studying for his finals. He is doing really good so far, he got A's on the two he has already taken and will take his last one on Thursday. He is very ready for our vacation simply to be done with school for a few weeks.

Last week was a great week because I finished Breaking Dawn on Wednesday. It was basically one of the best books I have ever read. As much as I would love to blog about it all night long Val has not started yet :( so I will have to keep my comments to my self for now so that I don't spoil if for her.

And now this week we are getting ready for our vacation!!! We are leaving at the end of this week and It doesn't even seem like we are really going. I am so excited but have SO much to do before we leave it is a little overwhelming. However it will all be worth it. Our Anniversary is next week so we are so incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to spend it in Paris!
