Time Flies when you are...at work?

I can't believe the fourth of July is this weekend! Holy crap! What have I been doing? Well...Brad and I work. Exciting right?! Brad works for Orem City Parks so he is super tan and I'm white as a ghost. No fair. I get up at 5:30 every weekday to get ready for the day and drive Brad to work at 7, then I sit and read in the car till I go to work at 7:45. Then at 4:15 I'm done and we drive home. Super exciting, let me tell you. Good work news, the construction/remodeling is done! Yay.

Here is a summary of the fun things we have done:
Go to Rocklin for Memorial Day weekend, which included a killer bike ride. I loved the beginning (cause it was practically all downhill) then I realized that for every down hill there is an up hill. And those up hills were HUGE! I didn't think I was going to make it that last mile, but my wonderful dad put his hand on my back and pushed me. He told me he didn't feel like he was doing anything, but seriously, it was life saving. That's when Brad decided I was out of shape and I decided that I need to do something to help my poor knees. Brad and my brother went to sunsplash after the bike ride (I was exhausted and didn't want to be in the sun any longer, so next summer I will go). I saw Letters to Juliet with my friends Katie and Tamie. We went to BJs with the family. I could have eaten there every day! We had a memorial bbq with the ward at penyrn park. And we visited Grandpa Cramer's grave and went to see Grandma Cramer.

Our friends Madison and Joni got married on June 5th! So we went to a wedding dinner at the Joseph Smith Memorial building the night before. Then the sealing was in the Salt Lake Temple saturday morning the reception that evening. Brad was a groomsman so we stayed very busy and had fun decorating the car. Plus, they had coldstone catering at the reception! You could get whatever you wanted basically (whatever from the 5 ice creams and whatever mix-ins they brought). They didn't have my wonderful banana so I had to venture out. It was yummy.

We started playing in our stakes softball league, which means that Brad had to teach me to catch a ball with my left hand. Up until this time, I have thrown and caught balls with my right hand. Well I take that back. The one summer I played softball in the YMCA coach's pitch league, when I was 7, I caught with my right hand and threw with my left. I can't remember much about that league cause I honestly found the game completely boring. But Brad is doing his best to get me involved in the sport he and his family love. He laughs every time I catch a ball cause I'm so surprised. At the game we just played with his Dad's team, when I caught a ball and yelled in surprise, everyone was laughing. The other team had a hard time congratulating me cause they were laughing so hard. Seriously though, I was impressed that I caught a ball coming so fast at me. Granted I didn't catch the ball that was coming super fast to me at second base and it beaned the guy who just ran to second base. I felt bad, but I did shriek when it was coming. I thought that was fair warning to watch out. Brad told me that i was supposed to catch the ball, not move out of the way.

Other than that, we have seen a few movies, like Percy Jackson and the Karate Kid. And we are going to go tubing down the weber cause it's fun. Happy fourth to everyone! I'm just hoping I can get some sun :)
