June has arrived!

Well, so far, June has been pretty good! Let's see - Friday was good because I left work early!! I went home and messed around. Invited Scott to dinner and had absolutely NO idea what to fix. I browsed through my trusty cookbooks, I tried to think really hard, I thought of things I had made before, but I was getting nowhere. So I decided that a trip to Kroger might help clear my mind and stir my creative juices. You know, when you go to a grocery store just to browse, you find interesting things.....but nothing was "coming to me." Until the phone rang.......

Scott was setting up the sound for a wedding on the front lawn, for the wedding in Cone Chapel, and for the dinner in the Founders Room. He called to see what I was doing (meandering around the Kroger store) and he mentioned that a cherry limeade would be really nice......so I said, "AHA!" Something to do - to put off making a dinner decision!!! So I hopped in my trusty blue vehicle and sped to Sonic. Then I went over to campus, parked, and walked around the Front Lawn looking for Scott (oh there he is - going the opposite direction on the opposite side of the Lawn......why DO they have those silly fences in the way?!?!). I strolled over to the Heritage and waited for him. We sipped our limeades and watched the goings-on, talked weddings (just in general!!), chatted with people, etc. He checked on the Cone Chapel & Founders Room before we decided to use my wonderful Gift Card from Doc's to eat! ahhhh. He went back to take care of the sound stuff, while I went home to change the shoes that were rubbing blisters on my feet! I headed over to his temp place (the Cronk's house) and we watched "Finding Neverland" - an interesting, yet somewhat sad movie. After the movie, we walked the dog (she snored during the movie!).

Saturday, we went to the lake with Lora & Lydia Fleener. I was a little uneasy about actually putting my swimsuit on and wearing it, but it was okay. I haven't worn in since I went to Hawaii in October 2003 (I think!). We played in the water, even though the weather was not that great, and we ate our picnic dinner. For you lake people, if you haven't found the Jitterbug coffee house yet, it's on Main Street in Heber. We were a bit chilled, so we stopped and enjoyed a cup of joe before heading back to Searcy. When we got back to Searcy, we went by the Johnstons to hear all about the Hurd-Sides wedding (one of the 3 weddings on Saturday). Jim had officiated, so we got to hear the good stuff.

On Sunday, we had talked about going back to the lake. But to be honest, I wasn't all that excited. I'm really not sure why..... I think I had to take things slowly and get used to things? I don't know. But anyway, when Scott called I was getting my things together and I'm so glad I went! Jennifer Hurd, her friend Karen, and Bill Spears went with us and we had a blast!!! Karen & Jennifer got on the tube and Scott pulled them around. I thought, "if they can do, I can do it!" So I did!!! And it was loads of fun. I was a bit nervous but Scott is a good captain. :-) And then, he got on the tube and I got to drive!! That was pretty fun too. We made it back to Jennifer's, loaded up her leftover BBQ and wedding cake, and went to the Johnstons for our Sunday evening ritual - eating and playing dominoes! Scott won last night, but I came in second - and even went out once! Wow.

It was an enjoyable week-end. I seem to stress about little things sometimes or worry about them. But whenever I get past myself, and my worries, I seem to have fun and I'm always glad!!!
