Happy Labor Day!

Today is Labor Day. Yeah! What is labor day? I'll admit, I'm not educated on the origin of this holiday. The word "labor" is not one that I have enjoyed. Everything that I've been through that has to do with labor has not been pleasant. But, I'm assuming that Labor Day is a rest from our labor. So...yeah for labor day!

We went up to Logan again this weekend. It was the bachelorette party for Russ's sister, Britney. She's getting married on Sept. 5th to a great guy named Daniel Yates. He's a good fit for her and I think he fits into the family nicely. I remember what it was like to be young and in love and getting married. It was so fun and exciteing. I had NO idea what I was getting myself into, but it was a great time. And even though I'm not looking at everything through rose colored glasses anymore, my heart still skips a beat when Russ winks at me. And life is still an adventure. So, congrats to Britney! I think she and Daniel make a great couple and now her adventure can start.

My nephew Jacobs mission farwell was yesterday. I know this makes me sound old, but I still think of that kid as a three year old digging for Dinosaures in my moms back yard. He was such a cute little kid. He was the first grandchild in my family, and as a 13 year old girl, I was smitten with him. He has grown into an impressive young man and I know he will do a terrific job in Arkasas. He does make me feel old. And he never misses an opportunity to remind me that I'm old. But I still love him and I'm excited to see him grow and learn as a missionary.

I don't know what we're going to do today. Russ has to work this morning, which gives me the chance to pick up the house (not literally,I just need to clean up a bit) :) But hopefully this afternoon we can do something fun. I'll keep you posted. I'm sure your just waiting on pins and needles to find out!
