Summer Months

And here we are, already at the very end of August. Where the heck did that time go?? Lets see, I'll update up on the incredibly interesting lives we lead (ha).

1.) My last post I'd mentioned that I've been going to the gym regularly (yay!). I still am. I am now proudly down 30 lbs, and fitting into a wonderfully small size 8. Hard, hard work, but clearly it's paying off.

2.) Back in June, I applied for a position at the hospital; in the kitchen. I went in and met the department manager and gave her a personal copy of my resume. Kept calling and bugging them, and finally they called back to schedule an interview with me. Yippee! It was three weeks ago, and I'm now waiting (anxiously!) to hear the verdict on their decision.

2 and a half.) I've quit Subway as of a few nights ago. It was time to move on, the money wasn't making that big of a difference, and I was never home with my honey. So that chapter is over. . .for the second time. Hehe. Hopefully there won't be a third.

3.) Jake and I, and another couple, took a much needed vacation to Sequoia National Park (Forrest?) in mid July. It was just beautiful. Everything around us was so breathtakingly gorgeous. We stayed for 4 days and loved every minute of it. Here is for your viewing pleasure.   : )

There's 6-foot-five Jake absolutely dwarfed by the tree. It was incredible!


Yes, that is the tree trunk surrounding us. It was huge!

Those are just the roots of a tree, in comparison to the people walking by it. Crazy big.


And here are just some other pictures I felt the need to share.


Here's my sister and I at La Posada for their kareoke contest. She won that week. (!!)  : )


And here's my mom and her dance partner Devon, after competing in "Dancing With Our Stars". They did so great!!
