Summer is officially here!

Things have definitely heated up around here. I mean literally. Today, it was 90 at least with very high humidity. I'm not one who likes to sweat. I have gotten up every day since the 7th grade by taking a shower and putting on makeup. Yes, I never once went to school (including college) without some kind of makeup on. I don't know why I do this, but I do. My point is that it is so hot here and when you get ready in the morning, you sweat off all of your makeup. I won't even go into what your hair will look like 5 min after you leave the house! I say all this because I was very brave today. We live in a town where the main hang out is Wal-Mart. This is probably true for most small towns. I knew I had a few things to do today like laundry/cleaning. I didn't feel like getting all dressed for Wal-Mart before I did my little chores. I acually went to wal-mart looking worse than I have ever looked in public. This may seem like nothing to some people, but I don't go out like that usually. Every single time you go to wal-mart, you see like 10 people. I was on a mission to see/speak to no one. I shopped in record time and didn't forget anything! The best part was that I didn't see anyone! Who really cares, but I just thought it was funny afterward how badly I did not want to see anyone. I guess it wasn't badly enough to fix up though!!!
Joe is on call this weekend. We were supposed to go out of town for our very good friends' baby shower. We did not get to go due to his new call schedule!!!! Sorry Halls! I can not wait for them to have their baby girl. It's definitely the 2nd best thing to having your own.
I'm off today and just laying low. I really enjoy my alone time at the house these days. Anyway, not much planned this weekend. Shocking with our usual schedule! We are gearing up for my brother's wedding in 2 weeks!!!!

Wedding Season

Here is a picture of my mom and my future sister in law. Aren't they cute? My younger brother is getting married June 10. We are gearing up for the big day now. My mom lives for this stuff. She is queen of planning, organizing, and executing weddings. She is probably the main reason my wedding turned out as beautiful as it did.
Anyway, mothers day is Sunday so I thought I would put up a picture of my mom. We are having mothers day dinner at my house for the first time. I feel so grown up having everyone over to eat. We are really just having my immediate family, but still. One of my old roommates and I were talking yesterday and we were shocked to realize we have grown up. I still partially feel like an 18 year old kid going away to college. This past year has probably been the hardest and most character building. Joe and I had to deal with alot, but I think it has greatly healped me grow up and not take things for granted. I still don't like to admit I am in my late twenties!!! Well, hope everyone has a great mothers day.

Well, It's been a while since I wrote last. Things have been really busy, but good. We moved back to LA this past week! I was actually sad to leave Memphis. I was sad to leave some of the people, but it feels so good to be home. I grew up down in LA. There is absolutely nothing like home. I feel like the last 7-8 months have been a weird dream. Joe and I constantly talk about how weird we feel having been gone and all of the experiences we have had. I can't believe that we lived in that little apartment for that long. We got home last week and then packed up again and went to Destin! We had a great time. Lots of sun and relaxation. Our friends from dental school came and met us there. Joe's dad also lives there so we got to see him alot. It was really great. We are back home now and I can't believe how much I have to do in this house! I have been cleaning and organizing non stop! Joe and I are both pretty perfectionistic. It's a curse! I hope my children are more laid back than Joe and I. We have this week to get everything in order. I start back to work next week and he goes back to school also. I'm ecstatic to be back home!!!!
