Anti- Procrastination Day!!!

Today is full of the little things that I have been putting off. I am so good at procrastination it scares me sometimes but I do work best under pressure but it still makes me so mad that I wait till the last minute. My friend had asked me to be a reference for her because she is filing for a daycare license and so I finally filled that paperwork out and got it sent in. Last night I finalized my letter to go out to all of Torrey and I's Trek family, so the fun begins!!! We will be having a B-Bque and learning how to square dance on the 20th so that should be a hoot!!! I have cut the collars off of the boys shirts to make them a little more pioneerish, they look more Amish than pioneerish if you ask me. I will be doing my 10 mile hike this week, i just have to keep thinking about all of those calories that are burning. That should keep me going!!

I have needed to write about our Memorial Weekend. My camera was never in the right place so the pictures I have are what every one else has sent to me Thanks Arlene. We had an awesome weekend. It started after Torrey and Riley got off of work on Saturday and I had the car all packed and we headed for Salt Lake. Layton had gone down on Friday and had spent the night with his good friend Zach Huber and his family at their cabin in Park City and on Saturday had went swimming at the Rec center in Camas and then went to Cherry Hills and went straight for the batting cages, then miniature golf and dinner at chili's. That is where we met them to pick him up. He had a great time with them. Thank you Hubers. We then headed to Julie's. Tyson had just returned from his mission in Kennewik Washington and there was a big party. Lots of good food and good company. Sunday, Tyson reported his mission and he did such a great job. You can sure tell that he was an awesome missionary and helped bring many people to the gospel. We then had more good food and it was so nice to know that we didn't have to rush home and go back to work. Torrey had Monday off which is very rare but Memorial Day is one of the Holiday's that he does have off so it was a relaxing day. We had a pool tournament, Rocked out on the Guitar Hero Rock Band. Riley loved it so much that he came home and bought it and we have had a blast with it. Sara and I are the reigning Pinochle champs for now. Maybe next time Torrey and Jer! Monday was filled with swimming and a picnic at Julie's while Grandma and Grandpa went to the Salt Lake City Cemetery. They said that there were just lines of cars waiting to get in but the cemetery was just beautiful and there was a man playing the bagpipes. I was so sad that I missed that. I love that music. I am so grateful for those that have gone on before us and for their examples that they have left behind for us to follow. For all of the men and women that have died for our behalf so that we can enjoy the Freedoms which we all have. Thank you so much Jeremy and Sara for the awesome accommodations. We had such a fun time. Julie, you can throw quite a party!!! Thank you so much for all of the good food and the chocolate fountain is to die for. I am still working off all of the cream puffs that I dunked into the chocolate. Hmm Hmm Good!!! Thank you again for all of the good times. We love you all.

You are to funny!!! I miss you!!! I knew it was you that hadn't turned in your/my paperwork!!! LOL!! The chicka wouldn't tell me which friend was delaying the process :) so I could call & remind... I was laughin' inside as I wanted to tell her your name... but then I didn't want her to think I was psychic!! :) (Thanks for doing that for me!)

I am glad you have had some good fun & an awesome trip!!
