The GREAT weekend continues!

church was very good this morning! I was thinking of leaving early since Giovanni's game was at noon, but it turns out Maria was late to our meeting point, and I am glad I stuck around. I have been trying to be more open and talkative with people, so I got a chance to catch up with some friends, Kevin called last night, and despite the super warm temperatures and being away from home, he seems to be doing good. We miss him A LOT!! mom knows more about Wyoming and forest fire fighting then a Wyoming resident and Smoky the Bear!! get it, ha ha!!! :) After church my co-worker Maria and I went to Giovanni's game, it was! They won too, although it was more little catching up with Maor, Maria's PCI initials, and cheering when we had a chance. We then went to Dairy Queen, and then I went to try and work off the chocolate! i was also going to go to my friend Lori's bridal shower, but when I got home I discovered i got sunburnt and decided to stay home, since it was probably over soon anyway! The rest of the night I spent quietly with my family. We make it a nightly ritual to watch big brother, so that was fun! Nick is still on the show, so that's good! I have to work an early shift this week, and then I can sleep in again! Yah!! Dad is going to be gone this weekend, so it will be a mom and daughter weekend, which I am excited about, and not sure if mom knows yet!! We will probably be pooling it!!! I also talked to my friend Suzie and found out about a christian group that meets at SCSU during the school year, so I think we are going to go together, and I am really excited about that!! Have a great week everyone! I love ya lot's!! :)

Fabulous day today!

It started by being woken up by my little cousin Abby!! Oh well! We then swam literally all day with the family. It was fun! Abby's little sister Kate is EXTREMELY shy, but she opened up to me, and we swam together, so that was fun! After the family left I watched the Twins game with daddy! WE WON! Yah!! Nothing else really happened, I watched some TV and chilled out!! Plans tomorrow include going to Giovanni's soccer game with Maria, church (obviously!), and I am still not sure if I am going to the Fightin' Scots game or not!! Not much else to say! Have a great night everyone!! Love ya! :)

Happy b-day Kevy!!

My baby brother turned 20 today! No more teenagers in the Sommers household!! Sad! I never got to talk to him, so I am sad about that! Very good day at work, despite almost oversleeping and having to hurry to work! At least next week I get to work a little bit later at 10:00!! My new hires are so funny, so it was fun to work with them today! Also, Salvy was the only posse member so we sat by each other and talked for a bit. Then Jessamyn came in, but that was when I was leaving, so I didn't really get a chance to talk to her. After work, I went shopping, worked out, and came home and caught the end of the Twins game. We lost HORRIBLY 4-10, so that was not cool! I am going to sleep in tomorrow, dad said if I am still sleeping when my relatives get here to swim, my little cousin Abby is going to wake me up!!! Ha ha!! We will see what happens! Well, I am extremely tired so I am going to bed! I love you all, and will post a long post!! Weekend Plans: Saturday Relatives over to swim when they leave-RELAX all day! Sunday: Giovanni's soccer game! Maybe Fightin' Scots Football game, not sure yet!?!?! RIGHT NOW: Bed time!! Love ya!

Great Day at work! Woot woot!

Training has been going very well!! My group is so funny!! There is one that is struggling a bit, so my manager wants me to talk to her, so I am kinda nervous, but I am praying that it goes well. TOMORROW's FRIDAY, for some of you who don't know!! Not sure what posse members will be around, but I hope lot's! Working early is going okay, it just absoultely blows to wake up so early! Ahh!! Then I train till 3:00 in the afternoon, then go to lunch, and then a couple hours later it's time to go home, but it feels like I have no time when I get home to chill, and I found out I have to work early next week too!! When's the madness going to end?!?!? :) Yesterday was our company picnic, and it went okay. Some of my friends were really drunk, so that kind of sucked, but it was still funny! I just wish the world thought drinking was the worse thing to do, instead of the best?!?! AHHH!!! I do love my co-workers though, today Salvy and little Zac sat by me, so that was really fun, the only bad part, I had to leave early!! of course! Jessamyn finally posted some pictures she took of our posse at work, so if I figure out how to get them to my blog, I'll show them to you, they are so great!! I look good in them to, if I do say so myself!! Well, I am really thinking of going to bed early tonight, (stop laughing Sara!) Weekend Plans: Friday Night: Work-out Home and sleep in, unless Sara calls and wants to get together?!?! Saturday: Relatives coming over to swim, good times! Haven't been in the sun much! Sunday: Church (of course!) giovanni's soccer game then..... not sure if coming home to try and tan or going to Fightin' Scots football game, will let you know!! A L S O................. Shout out to my baby brother, he's going to be 20 tomorrow! Ahh! mom doesn't have any more teenagers! I miss you a lot Kevy, be safe and come home soon!! Going to bed, love you all!

AHHHH!!!! Sorry I haven't written lately!!

So much has been going on! since working early I feel like I have no time, so that is why the updates have been very bleak!!!! :) Work is stressing me out, like majorily!! Like finding gray hairs, okay- just kidding, but it is getting to the point of AHHHHHHHHH! So please pray! had a better day today, so that was good!! actually my new hires are really funny, so we laughed and WORKED, of course! It was just nice to laugh at work again!! I feel like I never see my co-workers anymore so I will be very glad to go back to nights, unfortunately they expanded training to 3 WEEKS, so I have to endure another week! I'm trying!! :) Did tell my training manager about some ideas and he LOVED them, so I was pretty excited about that!! Tomorrow is the company picnic, but the posse seems to be going at different times, so that stinks!! This week is kind of a homecoming week so it's really fun and we get to wear jeans and flip flops, yeah! I'm so crazy that I wrote out a list to utilize wearing as many different colored flip flops as possible. I have many colors!! Looking forward to this weekend to relax. Family coming over Saturday to swim (my cute baby cousins!) so that will be fun! sunday I am going to Giovanni's soccer game, he's a co-worker. Corey wants me to go to the fightn' scots football game, but I told him I HATE football, but I still might go! well, please pray for me I am feeling overwhelmed and want to retire at 22! Help!! I need to go to bed, ahhh!! Night! :)

Very good weekend!

Had a lot of fun with Sara on Saturday! Went shopping and she roped me into eating Chinese food, which I have to admit, wasn't so bad!!! Found out later that Joe Mauer hit an inside the park homerun on Saturday, so that was cool!! Today was more of a chill out day, and I was hopping the weather would be nice, but it was not good, so I basically hung out and then mom, dad, and I did our daily watching Big Brother episodes because of Nick! He's been really funny on the show, is all I can say!! Twins lost day, so that sucked!! I have to work early for this week, and then it's back to nights! Yah! I miss it! Gotta get some sleep! Love ya all!!

Finally, the WEEKEND!!!!!!!

So exciting! I did eventually survive working early, but I am so tired!! AHHH!!! Official weekend plans: Friday Night (tonight!) watched twins game with daddy talked on phone with sister ALL ABOUT SLEEPING!!! SATURDAY: Sllllllleeeeeeeeeeeppppppppp in!! HOORAY!!!! Hang out with Sara, and go shopping! Haven't seen her in a million years, okay almost 2 months!! SUNDAY: Church! POOL DAY!! Then be sad that the work week will eventually start up again, but then that gets me closer to having my night shift back, even though I will probably get used to working the morning shift, oh well!! Good day today, basically did some training. Things at work improved today, so that was good. Actually got a project that I didn't mind working on!! After work i worked out for awhile, and I have been trying to work out harder. Since talking to Kevy he said he runs EVERYWHERE, and Jackie has been jogging, so I thought, "Hey, why not me too!" since I was a cross country runner back in my high school days, so long ago, okay 4 years ago! So I did, and boy was i sore!! crazy siblings! Oh well, had a good workout today, then hung out with daddy tonight!! Also, twins won today, so that was good!!!! I AM READY TO GO TO BED, good night!!! Please do not call this girl any time before noon tomorrow!! ha ha!! :)

PLEASE PRAY!

Kind of had a hard day today! I just really feel like no one respects me at work, when I say this I mean the Managers. I feel like I do so much, and then they just say we have a group coming in the morning, and need you to come in early. I DO NOT LIKE WAKING UP EARLY!!! AHH!! The group is doing really well, but I feel like if I do it my way, they would yell at me. My philoshopy (spelling?) is to have fun at work, because everyone has to work, so you might as well have fun doing it!!! I love my co-workers to death! They are so great, but it seems like we get to have fun when I have to leave, or my shift is almost over!! AHH!! It's just been a LONG day! So please pray for me. I am trying to give all my worries and stresses to God, but it is kind of hard. I also decided since my brother and sister have been running, that "oh hey! Maybe I should too!" and now I am SORE, which I have to consider to be a good thing, but it still hurts. When I got home from work, mom, dad, and I went swimming and that was good. I got to vent all my frustrations to them, which helps! I just told mom, that i want to go to a cave for awhile, and be away from the stresses of this world. I'm not sure what is going on this weekend, not to be selfish, but I didn't know that being so popular would be so stressful. It seems that everyone wants a piece of Kristin, and I just want to sit by the pool all weekend, but I am really trying to do more things with people. I feel badly because I kept telling Sara, keep the weekend of the 21st open, or else. And then Jessamyn wants to go to the Fightin' Scots football game Saturday night, and Heidi might go with, since J's boyfriend is working, so it would be a fun girls thing, but I haven't seen Sari Pok since her b-day at the end of May! Last time I talked to her, I told her I didn't think I would be able to recognize her. So we will see what happens! I do kind of hope that Sunday will be a chilaxing day to sit in the sun, since it's going to be so hot all weekend! So, please pray for me. Also tomorrow night should be fun because I am going to the relatives home, so good break from the stresses, and at least I will have the next 3 weekends off! Yah!!! Well, good night all! Sleep well! :)

Whoops, I forgot to say my brother is SO wonderful!!

My brother called me at work the other day, just because he wanted to talk to the whole family!! He is so wonderful, I just wanted to mention that!! Okay, bedtime!!! :)

I don't know what I was so worried about!

One of the main things I struggle with is worrying, as most you know! i was very concerned about training, and I'm not even sure why. The two people I started with yesterday are really nice. The guy is even cute!!!! Ha ha!! The cool thing about training is that I work with them for most of my shift and then when they leave I go to lunch, and only have 2 hours left in my shift, so it kinda feels like I am working 2 hours a day! So that has made this week go by, but it is so weird working early. I feel like I have no time, since when I get done at 11:00, i feel like i have awhile to get things done, I'm crazy I know!!!!! Little Zac came back from his church retreat, and him and his girlfriend are having some issues, but it was so not loud with him not there, so it's good to have him back. Now the things going on with Salvy, I have no IDEA!!! He says one day he's moving to Utah, and then he comes into work the next day?!?! Him and his girlfriend broke up, and I think they are going through some custody issues, so you can certainly pray for my friend Salvy!!! I told him that I have, and he says I sound like his friend who is also a Christian!!!! I have so much going on this week my head is literally spinning (I do have a headache!). Wednesday: Work, and train!!! Thursday: Work! I get to leave early, family trip to "uncle" pat's (my brother always said uncle pat, even though it's AUNT pat!) because my cousin and her husband, and 1 year old son are coming to visit, and I haven't seen the baby yet, so it will be fun to see them, and hopefully sister makes an appearance too!! Friday: Work! Not sure what's going on for my weekend, I kinda want to be lazy since it will be so hot, but I have so much going on! Jessamyn wants to do a hair style day (she wants to straighten my hair!) and then go to our co-workers football game, he owns the team! Sara wants to get together and hang out, since I haven't seen her FOREVER!!! Dad is thinking of going to a Twins game!!! AHHHHH!! Most of this is going on Saturday, so we will see! So many friends, kinda cool!! Also, I think I am addicted to Big Brother. The only reason I started watching this season was because of Nick being on there, who graduated with my sister, but know I really like the show!! Ahh!!! Crazy things going on, and I need to go to bed and sleep off this headache! I love you all! Night-night!!! :)

PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!!

I'm so not wanting the work week to start. I have to work early for the next 2 weeks for training a GROUP, ahh!! I've only trained individuals, and if there was a group and couple of the trainers came in, and I am ALL BY MYSELF!! i'm kinda nervous, so please pray! I had a very good rest of the weekend!! Work was kind of boring on Saturday! Jessamyn was there for the beginning of my shift, and we had fun and then she left early, so I was by myself most of the day, I thought about moving to where everyone else was, but the game was going to start then, and so that distracted me to work, plus I had a HORRIBLE headache!! The twins won though, which is great! they won the last 4 games, yah!!! Joe had the winning run today! So I am excited to rub that into Scott tomorrow at work! bad news: the PCI group outing to the game was cancelled, not enough people interested, I am still trying to get some co-workers to go on a "small" outing to a game, so we will see what happens!! Had a good day today, nearly forgot that I had nursery duty at church today, so I had to take care of that, which went great. One kid, and he was good!!! (he's known to be a terror!!!) I do wish I got to hear the sermon, since our pastor was out of town, so our old pastor preached, Jerry, whom (like that Jackie, I used WHOM!!!) Anywayssssssssssssssssss...... (Ha ha!) Then I watched part of the game today, and went to my friend Erin's bridal shower. It was fun, if you know her please pray for her, she is kind of stressed out, which plan a wedding can do to you! I practically grew up with her, and she invited me to her bachelorette party (ohh!!!) Don't worry, it's all Christian girls!!! :) Tonight was pretty much relaxing, and my parents and I watched big brother, since a guy on there graduated with my sister, and he was so HILARIOUS today!! He will probably get so much crap for being so cheesy today! Ha ha!! Well, i need to go to bed, since I work early tomorrow! Please pray! I love you all!

One of the PCI Posse members might be leaving! Sad!

I had an excellent day, but I found out Salvy might be moving to Utah!! AHHHH!!! Not cool!! Anyway, today didn't start out so well. I snapped when my boss said hi to me, whoops! I told Josh I was sorry, and he said he's snapped at so many people, so no big deal, which I thought was nice of him to say. Well after that, Salvy sat next to me and this is when I found out about the moving. He's not sure when or if this will happen, but if you read this salvy, the posse will miss you A LOT!! Very relaxing day! The managers were again in a good mood, and they seem to be okay with talking as long as we get some work done. I work with some really funny people, so that is cool. Sometimes I just don't like working there, but then I have to think that everyone has good and bad days, not just me!! Also, one of my friends from high school called and she wants to get together, so that should be fun. There was a little rift with her and my closest high school friend, so it should be fun to get back together. I figured out how to post pictured on facebook, so that has been my project lately. i didn't realize I had so many pictures! Ahh! It's still fun though! Also, the Twins played again, and they WON!! YAH! That's what I like to see, to quote little Zac!! joe was okay, but no homeruns, hopefully tomorrow. I am watching the weather and they say tomorrow is supposed to be nice, so hopefully that happens, so I can work on a tan of some sort, and watch the Twins tomorrow night! WEEKEND PLANS: Work Saturday! Sunday: Church Swim/Tan Erin Goff's bridal shower-close friend of my from church Go to sleep early because I have to work early for the next 2 weeks!! Ahh!! Please pray, I haven't trained in awhile, and I have a group this time, not just a single person!! Well, I am tired so I am going to go to bed! I love you all!! :)

Sorry no posts for awhile, I'm back!!

I'm sorry I haven't been posting much since last weekend!! With no twins games since last Sunday, and work being boring, I didn't want to bore my readers. But i have wonderful news!!! Work was not going so well beginning of the week, but today was a good day. Most of the managers were laid back, so we were too!! Good times, it's always a better day when you can laugh with someone!!! When I checked my facebook messages baby brother left me a sweet message. Check it out: I will call today.Love you. Never get to talk to you when i call so. know you are loved and also in my prayers. Sommers. Oh how was sam's grad party or was it not yet? (I added some grammar to it, oh well!!) Isn't he sweet!! I'm not sure if he called, since I was at work, grrrrr!!! He is fighting forest fires, and I worry about him a lot, and pray for him, so it's great to know he's praying for me in return!!! I have a GREAT family!!! I basically posted this for mom, because anything we hear from Kevy, is something she will love. Twins games start again tomorrow, so that should be good!! Also, PCI is planning a trip to a game beginning of August, so I am excited about that!I miss not having something to listen to in between calls, but I did serenade the girls from work today with some music on the radio!! Not sure if they liked it or not!! Ha ha!! Oh funny story!! So, some how I logged into the wrong extension at work after lunch today, and I ended up logging onto the Zip line, which is for dealers to call there applications in, and when I answer my phone I know it's a PCI employee needing a decision, so I just say, "Account number!" and then make a decision, while I logged into the zip line without knowing it, and the dealer was like, "Is this Preferred Credit?" and then I realized my mistake. I was like, "Yes!" and he said he needed to do a zip, and did he get the wrong line?" I told him I would transfer him, and he seemed to think he got the wrong line. Whoopsie!!! i told some co-workers and we ended up laughing about it!! Ha ha!! Also, the Russian new hire starts Tuesday, so you can pray for me with training her!! I think her name is Kristin too, but it's spelled really crazy like Krystina, so we are not really sure!!! We will see!!! I have Friday off, so the plan, yes again, is to try to tan!! I am kind of there, but not really, for me it's tan anyway!!! Not sure what else to say, but I need to get to bed!! love ya all!

Good end to the weekend!!

Had a very great day yesterday with the family. Jackie and I slept later and went to second service of church, since we were up all night gabbing the night before. After church we took dad out for Father's day (I know it was late, but at least we did it!) We ended up going to Culver's, and I had never been there before and it was good!! When we got home, we were going to swim, although the weather was humid, it was cloudy and rainy, and hailed for a bit too, so we stayed inside and hung out. Turns out Kevy called while we were in St.Cloud, so we were bummed that we missed it. he doesn't have a number, so we have no way of contacting him. Monday: Good day at work!! I was so tired all day though, and the day seemed to drag on, especially with no game to listen to, due to the All-star break, I still cannot believe Joe didn't make it!! Oh well!! Plans for the Week: I work tomorrow, Wed, and Thursday and I have Friday off!! So I'm thinking another pool day. I also figured out how to scan photos, so I have that project to look forward too!!! Please pray for me about my job!! Also I work early next week, and so I think the parents and I are going to go apartment looking, so that should be interesting, although I am a tad worried, so please pray!! Love ya all!! :)

Happy Birthday Michelle!!!

I know I'm crazy, but for those that do not know, it's Michelle kwan's birthday today!! Okay, now to the GREAT part!! I had such a great day today!! it started out with sister waking me up at the crack of dawn (okay, like 10:30 or so!) but we crawled into bed with momma and all tried to wake up together. We ended up sitting out in the sun, by the pool, and boy did we jump in right away, it was SO HOT OUTSIDE!! Daddy grilled for us, and we all laughed and were hunke dore (spelling?!?!) We did miss baby brudder though (kev-if you read this, we all missed you, including Slappy!!) I went into the house randomly and watched snipits of the Twins game. joe didn't play, and we ended up losing. can you believe that, we kill them in a double header the day before and then they beat us the next day! Oh well!! Then Jackie took a cat nap, after giving me all the grief of sleeping, and I spent more time out in the sun, which didn't end up to be the best idea. I must've slathered on sunscreen 3 times, and I still managed to burn, and not tan!! grrr!! It was also in the weirdest places, on both earlobes, on my right foot, on parts of my arms, just random places!! oh well, jackie says, "it will melt into a tan!!" Hopefully?!?! After being lazy all day, Jackie and I went to st. cloud, or st. clouzy, as jackie says, and went and got dad his b-day presents, which he will love!! We also found this super great singing card for him with ronnie milsap singing, which dad loves, but jackie didn't wanna, oh well!! Next dad event!! We also went to Panchero's for supper, and I have to admit I've been avoiding the place because Scott (from work loves it!) we call him Panchero's poster boy, since he goes like litterally every day, but it was pretty good, which I am not sure how I am going to break it to him!!! When we got home, mom found an old My little Pony tape, and all us girls watched it together, it was HILARIOUS!!! SOS!!! Soop, soop, de doop- with the sea ponies!!! :) Mom had this "brillant idea" to make the girls bedroom upstairs a pony room for future grandkids, so I think they were watching the movie for inspiration, it was too funny for me to pass up!!! so much to say for a great day!! (i'm rhyming!!) Jackie and I were just talking and laughing upstairs, but I wanted to pray and blog about this terrific day!! Plans for tomorrow: more swimming, hopefully not burning!!! take dad out for a late father's day!! Jackie leaving, which will be SUPER sad!!! Relax and get ready for the week!! Have a great rest of your weekend everyone, and stay cool!! bye!

Great end to a LONG week!! I had a FABULOUS day today!! It started by my having issues getting up early (what's new?!?!), but I got to work and it was just me and Little Zac, so we hung out and of course WORKED! Very slow day today, so it was nice and relaxed. Listen to the first game of the Twins double header. JOE HAD A AMAZING GAME!! It was so great, I wish I were there (even though it was in Chicago!) Work went by quickly, and then I got to meet with my co-workers, and Ben (Jessamyn's boyfriend!) We went rollerblading and to see Evan Almighty. We had fun rollerblading, but it was so HOT, so we didn't last very long. We then went to Perkins for some supper, and to see the movie. I thought it was very good. It wasn't the basic story of Noah, but it was still good, and they had something at the end that I really liked with Morgan Freeman playing God, and him and "Noah" just hanging out dancing and laughing. Also they used the word ARK as ACTS OF RANDOM KINDNESS!! I thought that was pretty good!! Then there's more great things, I get home and sister is home!! YAH!!! We are doing the pool stuff tomorrow and celebrating dad's birfday and father's day (i know it's late, but at least we are doing it!) Ha ha!! Well have a good weekend, and if I can fit you guys into my schedule, I will update y'all (from my TX co-workers!) Also get this, I found out one of my co-workers is a Christian, which yah, how exciting. The bad news: she's in our texas office!! AHHHHH!!! Oh well!! Have a good weekend everyone!! :)

Happy 4th of July everyone!!

Just wanted to update you on how things have been going!! Work went okay for the 1st part of the week. Nothing great, but nothing horrible either. Little Zac has been helping me out with underwriting, becoming my "underwriting apprentice" which is actually kind of fun!! He sent me a really sweet email too, thanking me for all the help I've been giving him. He tried to act like a tough guy, and of course he put that I can't tell anyone at work for fear of tarnishing his reputation!! I found out yesterday that they want me to work early for 2 weeks, which I have no issue with. I wish they gave me a choice, or asked, instead of just saying, "We have no hires coming in, and we need you to help out early, can you do that?" instead of just assuming. Oh well, what can you do!! That should be fun, it's always fun to train someone in, and I guess her name is Kristin too, but I was told it's a crazy spelling, so we shall see! Also she is bilingual, and her other language?!?! RUSSIAN! cool huh, maybe she will have an interest in Russian skating, and then we can talk back and forth and not work, just kidding mom, stop freaking out!!! TODAY: The 4th was a lot of FUN!! I slept in, and we had really good family friends come over, and we basically ate, swam, watched the Twins game, and talked. It's really great to be able to be around other Christians, and to just be together. We had a lot of fun, and I think I am kind of tan!! BTW, who sun burns there ear lobes, I did this last weekend, but it's back to my white color now, but what the hecK!?!? just thought I would throw that in there! I am pretty random!! When the Magnuson's left, mom, dad, and I basically hung out, and relaxed and now I am telling my readers about it!! So nice day off to relax, and it was so nice out!! WEEKEND PLANS: I work tomorrow and Friday, and then after work a bunch of co-workers and I are going rollerblading, Zac said he might go to, so that should be fun!! Then to see Evan Almighty, and just hang out! Good times. I'll let you know how the movie is! Also, Jackie is coming home Saturday and we are FINALLY celebrating dad's b-day (june 23rd!) and Father's day (weekend before that!!) So that will be fun, no working this weekend and pay day Friday! Yah! Well I hope you all had a great 4th!! Love ya!

Really good weekend!!

Work went very well yesterday!! Usually on Saturdays it is more casual and laid back, which is was, and I thought I would be the only underwriter, which tends to suck, but I wasn't, so that was good news!!! My plan was to go to sleep early Saturday night since I had the issues waking up for church last Sunday, but that didn't work out AGAIN!! I was up until, I believe 4:00 in the morning. I kept saying, "get to bed Kristin", and "Stop checking the clock!" 4:00 is the last time I remember reading it, then it literally felt like 10 minutes later that mom told me to wake up, which i did!! YAH!!! Good service at church, about being deeper!! I really love our worship too!! It seemed a little slow, maybe it was just me, but other than that they are WONDERFUL!! It was funny towards the end when our minister's wife was leading the ending song, and she went up SUPER high, and i started laughing, and I think the church kind of stopped, and was thinking, "I can't go that HIGH!" it was kinda funny!! After church I laid out in the sun and was reading. Got to catch up with my daddy in the pool, so that was nice. When dad went to watch the race, mom came out and I got to catch up with her. Talked to her about some good things, my mom is so wonderful (I love you ma, tear, tear!!! Stop crying!) and she always is able to calm me down when I tend to freak out about everything: job, man to marry, how it seems the whole world thinks drinking is the coolest thing, and anything and everything. Usually we discuss this in her room while trying to nap, but this time the background was the pool. After we got done talking about that, dad yelled out to us "are you ready to leave yet?" implying that we were going to go somewhere during the race, which rarely happens, to which we both replied, "NO!" It was funny!! We went to my friend Bria's house for an "impromtu" grad party for her graduating from college, passing her boards for nursing stuff (don't know a lot about it, as you can probably tell!) and her getting a job. It was fun too! We all sat around the docks and just talked and laughed. Most of the people there were church people, so it was fun!! When we got home, I watched the Twins lose, which stunk, and found out Joe didn't make the All-stars this year, which sucks again! And then also discovered that I forgot to put sunscreen on my shoulders, so please do not touch my shoulders, I AM A RED TOMATO there, and "kristin ghost tan" everywhere else!! nothing much else to add. Glad this week will give me a break in the middle, it's always nice to get paid holiday/vacation, and say all day, "It's so nice to get paid to do nothing!" Not sure what the plan is for the 4th, probably a pool day with Bria's family coming over!! Have a great 4th of July, and remember the reason we are celebrating it, I tend to think, "yah, day off!" but our pastor today talked about his brother going back into the service with his son, and it kind of hit me hard, so something to chew on!! Yah, you guys got inspirational Kristin!! Cool huh, well good night all! :)
