Enjoying the Small Things

So far this week has been pretty uneventful but in a very good way. Monday was the first day in a while that Tammy and I were both in the office together. She just got back from taking her youth kids to Colorado for their mission trip. It was nice to finally be able to get back in the groove. Plus, time always goes by so much faster when she is there. We have a lot of fun together. I was supposed to babysit Monday night and Tuesday afternoon but the lady ended up not needing me so I had a lot of extra time on my hands. Monday night Micheal texted me and asked me to bring Monopoly over to his house so we could play it. I actually do not care for Monopoly... like not even a little bit but Micheal loves it so I agreed. We actually ended up taking it over to Andy and Meg's and playing it with them. We had a lot of fun. It was just one of those spontaneous get togethers that tend to take place when some of your closest friends live right across the street. I absolutely love moments like that.

I told Micheal that whenever we get married I totally want us to be one of those couples who just call people up out of the blue for a cook out or invite them over for dinner. I think that is so cool. That happens a lot with Andy and Meg. I love the fact that they live right across the street from Micheal. It is like one of things that I always thought would be cool but never thought it would actually happen! God has a way of blessing us even in the small things! Anyway, now that I am actually somewhat keeping up with this blog (knock on wood..ha ha) I need to remember to take pictures of little things like that. One thing that I would love to be able to do soon is to buy supplies so that I can scrap book, so I am trying to do better about taking lots of pictures. I think that would be a really cool hobby that I will enjoy ( I have been trying to find something I can do at night before bed besides watching t.v.).

Last night Micheal and I had dinner with his family. It ended up being his mom, brother, sister, and her husband. We started a tradition a couple of years ago where Tuesday nights are reserved for Micheal's family otherwise we would never get to see them. It has become something I look forward to each week. It is nice spending time with them and Cyndy (Micheal's mom) is an amazing cook! We typically go to his mom's house or his grandma's house but last night everyone went out to Nopalitos. It was a lot of fun. I am sure everyone else in the restaurant was glad when we left because we were a little noisy! Ha! Afterwards Micheal and I went back to his house to play with Tyson for a little while and ended up playing electronic Life. It was a lot of fun even though I lost! We are supposed to take it to Andy and Meg's tomorrow night to play with them. Should be fun!

Tonight is probably going to be another laid back night after church is over. These nights of relaxing and hanging out are a welcomed change from the craziness of July! Ha Ha! Well I hope all of you have a great night and enjoy the remaining weeks of summer.
