Queen of Patience

The last letter I received from Elder Raines was June 17, 2013. The following week, Mike was assigned as Assistant President. Since then I have not gotten a letter from him :( That is almost 6 whole weeks! That’s a long time!! But as of Saturday,  July 27, 2013…

THIS GIRL IS NO LONGER LETTERLESS!!!!!!!!! :D

Oh yeahhh!! If there is one attribute that I am definitely perfecting, that would have to be patience. I would say that I am pretty dang good at being patient.

I am one happy girl! It was a great letter, short, but great :) I just thought that I would share my excitement with you all :)

I love my missionary forever and always
and I can’t wait to have him back home

Happy 24th!

Today was a pretty fun day! Sadly, my two nephews were not feeling well in the morning so they were quarantined until they felt better. But luckily they felt better by night time for fireworks! But I’m getting ahead of myself.

I hung out with my parents for the 24th. We went to see The Lone Ranger in the morning, which I quite enjoyed! Then it was off to the always delicious Café Rio for lunch! After our bellies were full, we went to play mini golf at Mulligans! It’s always fun to make the game “interesting”. So we all agreed that the loser would buy the winners either a milkshake or a Jamba Juice. By the end of the game the scores were… 57-56-56. Who was the loser you might ask? The loser by just 1 (ONE) measly little point? Hahahah….yeah…I don’t wanna talk about it…Lol. I was the one who lost by just one point. I totally should have lied on one of the holes. One thing that I’ve learned from Michael’s dad Warren is that, “If you ain’t cheatin, you ain’t trying!" Also, “if you go away hungry it’s your own dang fault!” But that’s a different story. Haha. So, yes, parents of mine, I owe you a milkshake or Jamba Juice.(Hey mom, can I borrow 10 bucks?) After playing golf, we went back to the house and watched Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief since a new one is coming out and I’ve never seen the first one and also because I LOVE Logan Lerman. He was in The Perks of being a Wildflower. Great movie. Actually want to watch it right now…Hmm. Anyways. I didn’t think to take any pictures while I was with my parents but getting back to where I started, it was now time for fireworks at the Bowcutt’s! Here are some pictures!

Brad wasn’t there to entertain us with his firebugness…so I had to take charge

Take me out to the ballgame!

My family and I went to the Bee’s baseball game on Monday night! It was so much fun! The weather was beautiful, a little hot but luckily we were in the shade the whole time.

Go Bees!
