Clarissa and I have decided to follow this new program to get out of debt.

I have been lazy all week and Sunday was no exception, it was snack time and tonight's craving was toast so what do I do....Darrin! Not plain toast- toast with peanut butter and jam. I realized that this must have been new to Darrin since it proved to be a difficult task, or maybe he struggled so next time I will make my own snack. Apparently he didn't realize that if you put the jam on first it is next to impossible to spread the peanut butter. I was wondering what was taking him so long. I can't complain, but eating toast with the jam on bottom and peanut butter on the top!? ...well it just doesn't taste the same. Lucky for me the second toast tasted much better. If they only offered these classes at the Y.

Our little tyke sure wants to show off in this picture. Meanwhile as much fun it is to feel the baby kick my ribs and not sleep on my stomach...I am excited for the day this baby is coming. I am now consistently measuring 2 1/2 weeks big and the scale keeps climbing(I suspect all doctor scales purposely weigh in heavier)- the day is coming where I can comfortably where jeans and heavy clothes any day of the week instead of light spring dresses that do not weigh a pound for vanity sake. Well, Darrin and I have set up the travel bed and are now impatiently waiting the arrival of our first born. Oops that reminds me I better start using this pregnant thing to my advantage!!!

I was heading to work on Wednesday (the day after that huge storm) and was merging onto Geneva Road when all of a sudden the 4-runner started fish tailing all over the road. Then....BAM! Let's just say I over-corrected and hit not one but two cars. Great aim- that's all I have to say.

We had a Blast!
The Sand was incredible and the water was crystal clear! Gabe and Carrie know how to show people a good time. We went to the beach every day and learned to surf and scoop up Jelly fish and throw them on the sand. We took one day and went to a sink hole lake that was a mile across and a thousand feet deep and went wakeboarding and barbecued.

 



















One of the pictures is of Clarissa learning how to windsurf and another is Darrin sitting in a chair with his wakeboard on about to attempt a 300 foot beach start (it did not go so well). We are definitely going to go back some day. Gabe and Carrie said that anyone is welcome any time.

Here is Gabe and Carrie's house. This house was so cool. The downstairs could be blocked off and turned into a rental. On the third floor was the master suite and you walked up a spiral staircase to get to it, this was an awesome house and a walk across the street to the beach! So cool.

Here's a little video of some guy who thinks pretty highly of himself to make a video which only shows... well himself. He has requested that we not reveal his identity.

Famous Rainbow Bridge, It was SO hot that day, and like me I did not put sunscreen on, I learned that when you are in a boat all day, you need it. It might not feel like it; when you are going fast and you feel the wonderful wind on your body, but you do. You still get fried!!! Such a great sight but WOW I got fried like a lobster. :(
