Oh yes, the best snack in the world for a hot summer's day!

Mike, Nathan, and I had an awesome 4th of July. We went to a small town 45 minutes away and watched some fireworks. Though the town is small they put on one hell of a show! Not to mention, they gave away free beer, soda, ice cream and hotdogs! It was pretty cool. The fireworks went off right above my head. I had to cover my eyes at one point because it was so bright.

Today we decided to have a BBQ and invited everyone we knew over. I'm thinking we'll have a showing of about 10. Tons of food, adult beverages, swimming pool for the kiddies, and a nice hot day = the best summer day ever. I'm very excited about that.

I still have some things to pick-up, like the laundry in the living room, before everyone gets here in an hour. I'm just hoping everyone stays outside for the majority of the time.

I just wish my friends from Cali could be here. It's days like these I miss them the most because I know how much more fun it would be with them here.

It’s a rare occasion when I’m too busy or bummed out to blog. It does happen from time to time and it seems to me I’m going through it right now.

Mike has been working so much overtime that I feel like I never get to see him. It’s just in passing or right before bed that we talk, and just for a minute about the small things before we pass out. If he is home, I’m not. If I’m home, he’s not. Sometimes that’s just the way it works and that’s how it’s going to work for much of the late winter and spring time.

I’m going to certification in two weeks! I’m so excited and so apprehensive about the whole thing. It’s a life changing experience because I’ll be certified in something that’s very important to my career. I’ll have a lot of options once I’m certified and the really cool thing is I like where I’m at. I don’t really need options right now, but, if anything ever goes wrong, I’ll have them.

I booked my flight and hotel and I’ll be by myself for 5 days and 4 nights in a new and exciting place. I’ve always hoped I would find myself in a position like this and it’s awesome to be here. I’m going to miss Nathan and Mike but it’s not like that will keep me from going. If it gets rough I’ll just have to remember this is for them too. The more I know about my job the more in demand I become.

Before certification I’m leaving for California. My best friend’s mom passed away. We might be far apart but my heart is already with her. My flight leaves tonight actually. I’m excited to be seeing my parents and my best friend but the circumstances are difficult. I’ve never had a parent pass away. Other than being so incredibly sorry for the situation…there’s just no words to say. I can only hope being there helps.

So, since I’m not going to be in the office much I’m working like crazy and getting things done before I leave and trouble shooting things that might come up. Once things calm down I’ll be blogging more often.
