ready for a crazy week..

I'm trying to lay low this weekend, gearing up for our first big summer/birthday party (for Carl but we're not calling it his birthday!) bash! The evites have gone out and I am a little suprised and thrilled with the responses. You guys are AWSOME! We have amazing friends! What would I do without you?! I really don't want people to feel like they have to bring something but if they want to they can. Di is doing a better than sex chocolate cake for Carls bday and others are bringing appetizers and things. I have decided to go with Carls famous ribs and my pulled pork. We'll also do brauts and chicken. I have been doing research - for the best deals all weekend. Tomorrow I get to pull out the check book! LOL! YIKES! But I am so excited to do this party. If you don't come you'll be missing out on the best ribs ever! (next to my mom's of course!)

So my projects this week, will be: Finishing the backyard. Just a little bit more weeding and fine tuning. I also want to decorate the patio a little better. We'll see what the budget permits. That includes hooks in the laundry room for swimsuits and towels. We will need them the rest of the summer too. Inside the house - I just need to finish the picture hanging business.

Tomorrow I just have to work till noon, then it's shopping, shopping shopping. Then Carls parents are coming over for dinner.

Oh we did see the new Indiana Jones movie on Friday night. I am not sure on it. I liked most of it. And found it to be pretty entertaining - the alien part was STUPID! That's all I say about it so I won't spoil it. But the ending was cheesy and stupid!!

Oh since it is Sunday I should mention that we met our Home teachers today. Well one of them and his son. His partner was out of town for the weekend. Very nice. He even left us with a spiritual message. It was really funny - our previous home teachers in 30th ward we got to be really good friends with. So often, we would just visit and then pray and call it good. LOL! Not that's bad either but they were always there if we needed them. I am looking forward to meeting the new ones. Hopefully we can get to know them as well.

Although today I missed the old ward. We still feel really new in this ward. It's okay. It will just take time. It's a really BIG ward too. It was funny though our Home teacher was suprised we haven't had a calling yet. I told him if the Bishop calls tonight - he's in big trouble!
