The long weekend!

We were party animals this weekend! :) We had a barbecue at the parents on Friday and played volleyball all day! PS I am old my knees were killing me but my team did take home the championship! I get a little to into the game...as a former Carlson I am sure you are all aware of the fact that losing IS A BIG DEAL! We don't like to lose at all! Even if it is Monopoly! :) Spence has had to go to volleyball training camps to avoid marital contention after Carlson tournaments! :) HA! HA! But seriously folks... I have worked with him and lets just say hes not the last one picked anymore! :) Then Saturday I had the laundry from heck to accomplish and came pretty dang close! I was able to find a sub for church and we headed to Island Park! We are the "pretty boys" in my family! What can I say I don't like bugs and I like to be clean! Don't hate people! :) This was me and Spencer's first camping trip together in approximately 3.8 years of marriage!! My aunt kept saying so this isn't too bad is it Jess? We really like you guys to come! Whatev I will see if I can pencil them in! :) We floated the river Monday which Gracie LOVED! I was covered in 80 degree weather with pants and a hoodie...I don't like mosquito bites! We then decided to go to West Yellowstone for some shoppin...not my style! My sister and my mom kept pickin out the uggliest granola girl hiking sandals ever! :) But they are good for floatin the river in! It was so fun to just get away! PS for all of you that are so concerned about my house.....my carpet is being layed as we speak!

Fourth of July Weekend

So let me fill ya in on the day from Hell yesterday! :) My carpet is not going to be laid for another week! Yes week! So I am stayin with the parents which I was not happy with! Don't get me wrong...love the parents! But its the packing etc. i don't like then I was cooking dinner and put the glass pan on the stove and it flippin blew up! Glass everywhere! Cut my hand...cut my leg and what hurt the most was the tiny glass particles! It felt like tons of tiny knives! I broke down...completely lost it on the carpet guy....well not completely i have a right to be mad! :) All had officially gone to pot until work today! We had a long lunch and then they informed us that we would get a 4 day weekend instead of a 3 day weekend with pay! I needed this! Things are lookin up....for now! Now if I could just get my life/house back in order! Oh Well things are never perfect...but seriously I was like a kid on a snow day! I was raisin the roof going ooh ooh! The co-workers were laughin! Im like guys i don't think you get it no work! Like we don't have to come here! Ha! Ha! I guess I am the only one that is a slacker!

Home Construction....

I decided to do another quick post...mostly due to the fact that the last one was so negative! :) I try not to be negative but I do have my days! :) Negativity in general totally wears on me as a person so when at all possible I try to stay upbeat! :) We are getting new carpet! Yes I am way excited! :) Which the carpet led to wood floor in our dining area, which led to tiling the entry way...which led to me wanting my brick mantel gone( I have actually wanted this done since we moved in), which led to painting the trim, which led to the bathroom floor being tore up and tiled. Needless to say my house is a mess! :) I am a very inpatient person! I would just like it all done right now! But these things take time...lots of time! :) Oh well the finished product will be worth it! Spencer is way patient! He just works and has the attitude that you can't rush perfection! Ha! Ha! I on the other hand am like we can rush it and yes it still will be perfect! Poor little Gracie has been seriously lacking for attention the past few days! The long weekend is coming and I will have to do somethin fun with her!
