Hey Everyone!
So far this summer has been such a fun one! My family came down and were here for a few weeks and it was a blast. We also celebrated Jaren's birthday and the 4th! So I'll just kinda touch up on those and something things happening :P .
It was so nice to have my family here. We did a lot of family dinners and visiting. One thing that was really special was my grandpa was able to do a session in the Salt Lake temple with me and Jaren and my Grandma. It was such a nice time, and we got to eat at the yummy Lion House cafe- yum! Another fun thing we did was go to Boondock's, which is a mini- golf/ go cart/ arcade place. It was a lot of fun, and we plan on going back and doing some of the other activities there again. I FINALLY had someone to go and get pedicures with! My mom and grandma went with me. It was nice the nail technician actually asked if I was 18...last time I went I was asked if I was 13 :P . Of course for those who know, for a flower on your toenail it's $5. My dad is most likely getting promoted here shortly, so when they asked if we wanted those on our feet, my mom said, "my husband is getting a promotion - give us all flowers!" ha ha. The time was fun, but it came and went really fast. My family is now at Fairchild AFB (Fairbanks), AK. SO jealous.
So we just had 4th July weekend and it was for sure a memorible one! We started it off by doing crazy bowling with a group date with some of our best buddies. It was a lot of fun! We used the color of M&M's to determine the way we bowled. We probably looked silly, but it was worth it.
Saturday the 3rd was Jaren's birthday, and I wanted to do something fun. I had planned on doing swimming at Cherry Hill, at water park here, but wanted a get away. Anywhere sounded good, even if was a hotel down the street. It just so happened that the hotel I was trying to book wouldn't let me for some reason, so I began searching around some more. B&B everywhere else were costly, and not too great. I had just about given up when I decided to look up The Anniversary Inn. We've been there before and LOVE it! I figured it'd be way too much with wedding season, but was bored at work and took a look. It just so happened there was a July 3rd deal. ANY room $99 (which was nothing compared to them being $200-400 a night). So I booked one! Since I still don't drive, I made up clue to lead him the way. It was windy at Cherry Hill, so we opted out and went straight for The Anniversary Inn. We had anice room, it was a mountain hideaway theme and looked like a log cabin. The shower was the best with a cave shower/ jacuzzi that had a waterfall in it! That night we went and watched fireworks in SLC and they had awesome ones with star shaped fireworks and smiley faces :) (debt free is the way to be kids) . The next day we celebrated Jaren and his brother Tannon's birthday and had onion burgers at Jaren's family's house.
So some of you have been keeping up with my facebook know I've been having stomach problems for quite some time. I didn't know what was going on. I wasn't too concerned until I started bleeding and wasn't on my period. I freaked out and had Jaren call the doctor. I always assume the worst and thought I just so happened to be pregnant and was miscarrying. Long story short, that was so not the case. They did blood work and an ultrasound and I'm still waiting to hear back. I finally had my neurology appointment and that went well. Next Wednesday I have 24 hour sleep deprived EEG. AHH! So no sleeping. And I have an MRI that day too :P.
Anyways, that's an update with us! Upcoming and exciting events: Angela and Shaleena are comingto visit! And our 1 year anniversary is coming up -yay! That's all for now!
Love, Jess
