- The 4th of July was fabulous. We went to hang out with some friends (Joshua and Michel) and played games, watched street fireworks with their neighborhood, dipped in the pool, and learned a new card game: Dominion. (Quite fun....quite fun, indeed)
- The curtains are FINISHED!!! WHEEE! Cause that didn't take forever......
- AND I put up curtains in the office... all by myself!! It was HARD..... drilling into concrete is not easy...and a pain in the ass.
- I went to the State fair with mom...and we had a total blast. I got a pillow that vibrates when you lean against it... I got it for Scott for our 1 year anniversary (Okay....it's not technically when we started going out... that date is not defined since it slowly grew...So we picked the date when I first came over... Yes, some say that's cheating, but we both agreed on it and liked it...so there!). I also got a beautiful hair clip for Steph, and another for myself. And lastly, but not least, some reusable heating pads (the kind of heat up via chemical reaction. VERY cool).
- Went to visit Jess for his 31st birthday.Good times, yet again! He didn't think anyone knew or was planning anything, but a friend of his had formed a little surprise party for him. And I was in on it.... So he was in another friends apartment, cleaning it up, and I tell him I'm in need of coffee (which was true...I had a headache and needed caffeine). He suggested (as I knew he would) to go get some from B.J.... which was where everyone was waiting. I go over and inform everyone what was going on. Then go back... and one by one, everyone knocks on the door about 10 seconds apart. Jess keeps saying, "Come in!" as he's cleaning....totally unaware of what is going on. Finally, after the 4th person, everyone piles in singing happy birthday, hold a cake and lights a match since no one had a candle. It was very sweet, and I could tell he loved it. Then the rest of the evening was the usual Jesse bash.
- Then Scott and Steph came a few days later, and we celebrated Steph's birthday! And of course, the evening started out with a flat tire, and the men to the rescue! Then we ended up just re-parking and walking instead. *facepalm* And ended up walking more than we thought...and turns out the person we wanted to visit wasn't there....so then ended up eating in this quaint hole-in-the-wall Mexican place. Then the rest of the evening is history. :)
We started doing family meetings/processing. Last night was the second night, and it's been fabulous. And I think the cause for this little bit of dream:
I was in a house that felt like home (not sure where), and I heard a wolf howling. I poked my head outside I saw a grey wolf by the corner of the house, looking at me...waiting for me. I went back in and heard another howl...and when I looked again, this time it was a white wolf...looking and waiting. And I can't remember when exactly I did this, but I started howling with them, and there was the sense of longing and peace at the same time. Then I went outside and there were a bunch of wolves, dogs, cats, etc., out there waiting for me. They were having some kind of very important meeting, and waiting for me to be there cause I was one of them. I remember them looking at me and it was like I was looking into my own eyes. It all felt SO incredibly meaningful. Normally my dreams don't...but when they do, it really is something.
