Party?

OK, so you might be wondering what ever happened to that brilliant party idea Abby had that was supposed to be soon. Well, with all the Grandpa crisis and now the fun PA roadtrip coming up I think I will continue to put it off a little while longer. I'm going to say July 31st officially. It can be a Happy Anniversary to Laura and Bob/everyone soon-to-be going away party. Bring swimming suits and your drink of choice and I'll provide the food. I can't wait to see you all again!!

I really am enjoying my summer, but I do get a bit of cabin-fever every now and then. Last week I memorized where every country is in the whole world and then I started learning capitals. I know all of Africa, Europe, the Canadian provinces, and central and South America too. This week I redesigned our system of attaching our boats to the dock. It took 3 trips to the hardware store and about 70 feet of rope. Next I intend to re-finish the swing. EXCITEMENT!!! It's like living inside HGTV!!!!! LOL.

P.S. I never made it to that Chris Tomlin concert. It was raining ...and I went on a date instead!! His name is Brad Brumm, he's a Sigma Chi from Michigan, he's Filipino, he's super sweet and funny, and...he works for the ARMY! BOO!!!! But like I said, he's super sweet and fun and he drove down here a day early just for me (he had some big Sigma Chi party to go to in Cincinnati on Sat.) and we went out to eat and bowling and then boating with my friend Sarah and her fiance Craig (also a Sigma Chi). It was so nice! Then on sunday on his way back home he came over again and we canoed and swam. It was great! AND we didn't even kiss!! It was fabulous - no pressure!!! (However, I'm a little nervous with date #3 coming up for Sarah's wedding at the end of July - if you've seen "Hitch" you know what I mean!!) He's just such a great guy...why the Army???? :( The picture is of Brad and my friend Sarah - disregard the random shape and newsprint - I ripped it out of my scrapbook temporarily. lol!
