Catching Up

First and foremost a belated (but only by two days) HAPPY GOLDEN, 19th BIRTHDAY TO EMILY!!! I know you are holding down the fort in the Clara just fine and cannot wait to be filled in on every single detail about our new freshies :) LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH and wish I could have been there to celebrate ♥

Secondly, Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there but especially my amazing father. We had a nice morning spent together sipping Starbucks and cruising down memory lane and attending our old church out in Puyallup. Dad and I sometimes do this and it is always a pleasant visit out to the very first place I called home. We had a delicious family dinner brought to us by Andrew's amazing, creative, and inventive cooking which I somehow managed to assist him with. We opened presents, Andrew and I perused through old, family photo albums and reminisced about our youth together. Overall, I would say we shared a very enjoyed day celebrating the fabulous father we share with the world.

Thirdly...catching up! Since my last post I have become re-employed, attended a moving on ceremony, and day and night with friends. Earlier last week Lauren had friends over for a bonfire. What was originally a four person get together quickly turned into a nine person rabble rousing tournament of Catch Phrase and smore roasting. I hadn't gotten to hang out with my boys from high school like that probably since Christmas so it was really refreshing to be all together like that again. Friday, Mom and I made our way north to watch Audrey (my dance teacher's daughter who is like a younger sister to me) move on to the 4th grade. I cannot believe this year she will be entering double digits, learning log division, and be that much closer to middle school! AHH I finally understand how it feels to be "old" but young at the same time. We had a lovely day up in the Renton area enjoying each other's company and going to the Microsoft campus for lunch. On our way home Mom and I stopped in at Red Robin (I turned in an application the day before) so I could try and connect with the manager. Long story short, I walked out 45 minutes later with a hostessing job! I am eager to start the job and on Saturday I had orientation with another new member and get this...he is going to SCU in the fall! Later that day Lauren and I made our way back to Puyallup to Meeker Days where my dance school was performing. It was unfortunately rainy (as it has been for what seems like forever!) but we still had a great time. That evening Mom, Dad, Andrew, and I went to Toy Story 3 and then to Red Robin for dinner. The movie was soooo cute and dinner was delicious. My AGM gave us our meal for free and brought out those huge but delicious Mile High Mud Pies to "welcome us to the family." This job is looking promising already :)

Missing everyone from the Clara as always and loving being around everyone at home ♥
