Summer '08

Our favorite time of the year is quickly approaching. Summer! Jeff and I both love the season. We like the long, warm days and the bbq’s with friends. Though last summer was pretty wonderful, we think this summer will be just as nice. Besides, it’s all in what you make of it.

On Our Agenda

1. Our anniversary! I can’t believe it’s been a year next month! Jeff and I have been together for five years, but this year seems to have flown by the fastest. We don’t know what we’re going to do yet, but we will be doing the traditional eating of the frozen cake top. My mom vacuum sealed it, so hopefully it will be edible!

2. Move into our house. This as you know, is tentative. If this is really our house, we will be spending most of the month of July painting and landscaping, and moving into our new house. We will be having an ‘open house bbq.’ I just don’t know when yet.

3. Go see Carrie Underwood. Doug and Sara bought me tickets to go see her in concert and it’s happening next Monday! I know that technically it’s not summer yet, but it’s still something I’ve been looking forward to. Country concerts are the best kind to go to, and we’re really close to the stage!

4. Beerfest in Chico. We love going to visit Melanie and her friends anyway; this is just something extra fun for us to do. Jeff is really big into beer brewing and this event will host most of the brewers in California, so it should be really fun.

5. Jeff and Doug DJ again! They will be dj’ing at the Casino several times this summer. It’s something that is really fun for Jeff and the current dj at the casino is just horrible. He can clear a floor in 3 seconds flat! It’s really nice when they get the chance to do this because people remember them from their previous dj jobs and the crowd is always happy to see them. They will also be doing a 24 hour stint for the Relay for Life.

6. Camping! We went camping last year, but it was more like camping in the desert. It was a reservoir and there weren’t many trees to relax under. This year, we’d like to go to Lake Almanor and have most of our friends come along. It should be really fun.

7. Softball. Jeff, Doug and Sara have started playing on a team. His first game is supposed to be this week. He says they’re like the Bad News Bears, but I think it will be fun. It gives us a chance to make some new friends and Jeff really loves playing the game.

8. Relax! We seem to have a busy summer ahead of us, but we are both looking forward to some relaxing. We will fit it in there somewhere!
