Oh July

Well this month is almost over and has been quite busy! We saw a holiday, the end of a semester, some nice weather and lots of family!

4th of July was wonderful! Good food, good company, and of course good fireworks! Idaho Falls always does an impressively good job with their show, definitely another Eastern Idaho must!

A few weekends ago my dad and Dianna came over to IF. Dianna has some family that is involved in theater over here and we plus them and my grandparents all went to see Oklahoma! Would you believe I had never seen that one all the way through? It was really good though and lots of fun!

And last but certainly not least, this weekend Tim and I needed a good cheap date idea, so we built a fort! And it was the most awesome fort ever made by man... and woman!!!! Nuf' said

Enough is Enough

Wednesday marked a month and a half since my first bad dream fiasco, and since then it has only been an ongoing, losing battle.

I've tried Sleepy Time herbal tea, reading something good before bed, watching a good movie before bed, humming a favorite hymn, making Tim stay awake until I fall asleep, falling asleep with a dim light on, sleeping with the door open, sleeping with it closed... you name it and I've checked it off the list. All to no avail.

But I am constantly exhausted and was barely making it through finals week... not to mention now the happiness of my summer vacation is at stake. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I decided to ignore studying for a while a few afternoons ago and I did a little bedroom makeover. I totally rearranged everything; moved the bed, washed all the blankets, switched the dressers, rearranged the books on the shelves, I even vacuumed everything. And wouldn't you know we are going on restful, bad-dream-free night number four. I am just as thrilled as can be. I hate to jinx it, but could it be that we may have found the cure?!

Fun Times Four

What a busy weekend! Darcy came, Amy and Aiden came, dad and Dianna came, and the Blue Angels came… I think I’ll go ahead and review them in that order.

First of all, my best friend came to visit!!! So much fun! Every time we get together it’s just like the old times! Poor Tim was quite the trooper, he spent the night on the couch so Darcy and I could have the bed and he suffered through Michael Jackson's This Is It movie with us… what a guy. She stayed til Saturday evening, definitely not long enough, love that lady!

Amy and Aiden showed up Friday afternoon so Friday night we had a full house. They had come up for the Blue Angels air show (see item number 4, which is also why dad and Dianna came actually, see item number 3). This time though Amy and Aiden took the bed, and Tim and I took the air mattress in the living room with Darcy on the couch. Again, poor Tim had to deal with the giggling, but so it goes!

Saturday morning was the air show at the Idaho Falls airport. We met dad and Dianna in IF for breakfast at North Highway Café (where else is there?) and then went on over. It was way too hot, but really cool. They put on such an awesome show, I’d go again today if I could! The day would have ended better though if it weren’t for the 2 hour line we had to stand in to get back out of the place when it was over... sheesh

Hands down the best part of the whole experience was getting a migraine headache and throwing up all that yummy breakfast in a nearby flowerbed, classic. It’s a shame no one saw, it was one of my prouder moments for sure… no bueno! :/

I cannot take credit for any of these pictures, my camera died, of course. These are the product of my dad’s handy work.
