weekly wrap-up

Summer is flying by, and I really wish it would slow down.

From Monday through Thursday of last week, I'm pretty sure CJ and I saw each other awake a total of six hours. I guess if you count sleeping the two nights he was home during that period, I guess you can make that maybe twenty-four hours.

CJ worked four days straight last week. Working two days in a row at the part-time job was sort of a fluke, I guess, and since he's only going in for training there tomorrow night, that'll make up for it.

There would have been a softball game mixed in there too, but the other team failed to show.

Friday night was Kim and Dean's wedding. When they got engaged, my one piece of advice to Kim was to have a short engagement. At the reception, she said she now understood why I'd complain about wedding planning so much -- arguments over food, the guest list, the seating chart, you get the picture -- so I think she was glad they only had a six-month long engagement.

We spent Saturday afternoon painting the adirondack chairs and table CJ made. One chair is completely finished, and the others have been primed and just need to be painted. CJ did a great job on them, so I'll definitely be posting pictures of those soon. (He's actually thinking of making them on the side, so if you're interested...)

Since we barely saw each other last week, and since it'd been awhile, Saturday night was date night -- to the Olive Garden and to see Night at the Museum 2, which we enjoyed. (There aren't too many Ben Stiller movies I don't enjoy though.)

CJ worked today, so after church, I met my parents at Red Robin up on the north side (which is apparently the only one in Indianapolis; for the past year, I've been telling CJ to take me to the Red Robin that's five minutes from our house -- turns out it's called Road Rocket, and I just can't see/read). Then I went grocery shopping with mom and dad (thanks again, by the way), and stopped by CJ's fire station on the way home. Then I cooked up a storm tonight -- made sloppy joes, lasagna, and Mrs. Straley's casserole to freeze for CJ to take for his meals at work.

So that was long ... and probably not that interesting ... but such is life. Hope all is well with everyone.
