Life as we know it

I'm not so great at keeping this blog up. Sorry. I'm a busy woman. Our vacation was good, with no one breaking into our car or anything like that. Our pool pump motor died, the pool turned into a pond, motor got replaced, and something else broke on it, pool is turning back into a pond. Work has been surprisingly busy this summer, off and on though. So rather than camping tons this summer like I changed my schedule to be able to do, I've been working. No complaints there though, I'm grateful for the hours, knowing last year it wasn't the case so much. Tony did manage one trip up north though a couple of weeks ago, his bff from high school invited us up to their parents cabin for the weekend. I didn't intend on going since I had to, well, work. I ended up going up to Pinetop anyway though Sunday morning because Tony's car broke down on his way home. Needless to say, I didn't go to work that night, and we're now a one car family for now, which is hard especially for our schedules and how far we both work. Oh well, so far it's been OK. Tony now does 10 hour days so he gets Fridays off =] And he'll be telecommuting some days. This could actually turn out to be a good thing! On to more exciting things. Payton starts 1st grade in a week and a half. I love him, but I am so ready for him to go back to school! Savannah starts preschool on the 30th, 2 hours a day, 4 days a week. She's super excited and can't wait to go. Tony and I have been thinking and have decided that we're going to renew our vows next year for our anniversary. It's the big 10, and after an incredibly rocky year last year, why not? We haven't decided if we want to make a big deal out of it and have it locally so friends and family can actually come, or just go away for that honeymoon we never got, and do it with just the 2 of us. Either way, I'm excited. I love that man!! That my friends, is life as we know it right now. Full of ups and downs, but it's ours and that alone is enough to make me smile =]
