Ellie loves Johnny!

Today was quite a busy day. John and I worked at the Air Show. We were suppose to just work from 7 to 12, but not enough people showed up to run the booth that we were stationed at…so we ended up working until 4:30. It was incredibly busy, but awesomely fun. I left for a couple of hours to go to our softball practice, which was also a blast. After we were done at the air show, I was still really pumped about the nice hot weather…so I got Johnny to show me how to use the lawn mower. I mowed the front and the back yard; by the end of it I was thinking, “you have got to be kidding me, what was I thinking?” It really felt good to have done it when I was finished, and maybe I will do it again if I feel like working out. The lawn mower practically weighed more than me…I am sure that I looked ridiculous. However, our lawn looks GREAT!! I came into the house all sweaty and red faced, and showed Johnny my mowing battle wound. While on my mission I jabbed my back into a spoke on the fence…we checked my immunization records and I do not need a tetanus shot…so we are in the clear. I took a cold shower and put on some clean clothes…sooo wonderful. Then I moseyed into the kitchen and mixed up some south of the border casserole. We took it over to Kendi and Cory’s house to bake it. We hung out on their lawn with three other couples, and ate our dinner while watching our dogs and kiddos go CRAZY playing. It was one of those nights where I felt very grown up. I looked around and was like whoa I have friends who have kids, and I have dogs and a house and a husband…oh my! The sunset was gorgeous…we sat on our lawn chairs in the 74 degree 9 o’clock weather and watched the sun go to sleep in one of the most amazing skies in the United States…we are so blessed…WOW.
