Cruise!


Shootin some hoops and playing speed

Formal Night :)

Me and our boat


Something I've wanted to do for a LONG time....go on a CRUISE!! I finally was able to go in June. I got 3 other friends to go with me and we booked it within a month. It was such a blast and a VERY much needed vacation. We ported out of Miami, Florida and sailed to the islands of CoCo Cay and Nassau, Bahamas. It was so beautiful! It was rainy and yucky for part of the time, but when the sun came out it was amazing!

Way to go, Carsyn!!





I just barely turned my camera on in time!! (He's # 4 in the blue jersey and red shorts) He was so excited that he scored his first point, that he even came over to give Mom a hug :) He played so well! And he definitely has enough energy for it! haha It's gonna be a fun season :)

Update

Ok, so an update on me and Carsyn...

This summer has been fun, but gone by WAY too fast! I started a new job the beginning of August. It was somewhat of a tough decision and quite sudden, but I'm happy with my new job. I just felt the prompting that I needed to start looking, and one thing led to another and everything just seemed to fall into place. I now work for 2 general dentists in Orem. Dr. Peacock and Dr. Ball. Dr. Peacock has been practicing for many years, and a few years ago Dr. Ball joined him and bought the practice. Dr. Ball served a spanish speaking mission, so the majority of his patients speak Spanish and I am in awe everyday just listening to his receptionists communicating with them! haha. I've learned a few new words, and who knows, maybe I'll be speaking Spanish soon? :) The Dr.'s are very laid back and easy going and very fun to work for, but also run a very professional business. So it is a good mix. I have enjoyed working there and truely know that I made a very good decision, after A LOT of praying and pondering. It will be a huge adjustment with the income decrease, but I know it will totally be worth it. I am enjoying VERY much working part time and having a few days off to just be at home and get things done. Maybe someday I will get another part time job to fill the days off, but for right now I am very much enjoying my time at home!

Well, my "baby" started Kindergarten this week....where has the last 5 years gone?! Carsyn is so excited to be a Kindergartener. The kindergarten is actually in his daycare, so it works out perfectly. I drop him off, he gets a good breakfast and lunch, and then after school is over he can just stay there until I get off of work. His school is awesome and very organized. Even though I have not enjoyed having to drop him off everyday for the last 4 years, it is very comforting to know he is safe and learning so much. In preperation for school, he got his teeth cleaned (free dental, HUGE bonus for working for a dentist :)) and his Kindergarten shots last week. He was soooooo brave! He was very nervous for the shots, but knew they were coming and was so strong. Of course he cried as he was getting them, but I could not believe how brave and strong he was leading up to it and after it was over.

Carsyn also started soccer last week. Yes, I am officially a "soccer mom" :) He did awesome! He LOVES it. I can't believe he is already in sports too! His second game is tonight and he is so excited. I will definitely be posting pictures and hopefully videos.

Well, that's all I have for now. But stay tuned for more fun updates! ♥
