Five Little Things

#1 - We had our structural meeting for our house and really hammered down all of the structural upgrades that we want. These upgrades include: a laundry room with a window, a "mommy's craft room", a window seat popout on the stairs, and a bay window in the dining room. Whoo-hoo! We are so excited.

#2-We have been trying to pace ourselves while watching Season 3 of White Collar. Even with those precautions - we are flying through it. Only 6 more episodes left. We will be so sad when it is over. I love Neal, Elizabeth, Peter, Mozzy... really just all of them. (Also, we may or may not have already started calling Lydia "Elle" ("L") because we love that nickname for Elizabeth.)

#3-I made the most darling flyer in the whole world for a little company that makes cakes. I know it's dorky, but I love it so much that I just can't resist showing it to anyone and everyone.

#4-This week we have spent a lot of time being grateful for the blessings that we have. It's easy to become concerned over little things - but we really are so truly blessed. I'm so grateful for the family and friends that I am surrounded by, as well as so many other things in life.

#5-This is is the reason that I am posting these five things on Saturday instead of Friday. We got an invitation to a pool party being thrown by our dentist office. (Random right?) They had rented out the Lindon Pool and were having prizes, food, games, and swimming. We were SO excited to go - but ended up leaving a little late. No big deal right? Well, we pulled into the parking lot and there was not an open spot to be seen. In fact, there wasn't an open spot for a full two blocks in any direction. Determined to go, we parked in a little parking lot by a hair salon and some apartment buildings and walked our way over to the pool. Then we got in line and waited... and waited. The pool had reached the full capacity and they weren't letting anyone else in. They said that they would let us in as soon as people started leaving - but after 15 minutes (David will tell you that it was longer) of standing in line we gave up and decided to go home. I was SO sad. I love swimming and love love love just being by the water. I really can't tell you how sad I was. I had been looking forward to this all week. Who knew that dentists were so popular? Don't worry, we ended up getting a pizza on the way home and watched some good episodes of White Collar and I feel much better. But I vow to go swimming before summer is over!

Here is a picture of how sad we were:
