So not much new to report. I'm so excited about moving!!! Only 2 more weeks!! Unpacking is one of my favorite things because then you can put things away wherever you want. We went the the Bite of Seattle yesterday and it was so much fun!! I ate a ton of food though! My menu consisted of:
Alligator on a stick
Coconut prawns
Chicken kabob
Chocolate dipped strawberries on a stick
Seafood wrap (crab cake, shrimp and ceaser salad) DELICIOUS!
Margarita
Mike's hard lemonade
(i think that is it)

It was crazy though because it was so HOTT out! Everyone was sitting in the shade or running through the fountain! Even we all ran through, well everyone but Ray did. The Blue Thunder was there (drumline from Seahawks) and we listened to a couple of bands. Ray and I got a cartoon drawing of us done. It's so cute! We're a pre-historic couple and I'm dragging him behind me from the shirt, very cute! It will be framed in the apartment! We also got a beautiful blown glass candle holder to put on our coffee table. I just got the corner bar I ordered the other day! I can't wait to put it together! I'm so excited! :D So all we need now for the apartment is a computer and dining chairs. :D I'm already planning what to make to eat for our house-warming party! Well, back to work I go.

It's OFFICIAL!!!

So, big news now is that Ray and I are moving in together. We'll be living at the complex where I work. It's a great two bedroom apartment, lots of space. I would have lived with a girl but I have no girlfriends to live with so Ray it is! ;-) I am very excited! We move in on the 6th of August. I told my parents. They of course didn't take it very well, wasn't expecting them to. But I am excited and it's my choice, that's how I feel. We went shopping at IKEA and got a bookshelf, some mirrors and a kitchen table! The table was only $50 because it was their 'Only Happens Twice A Year Sale!' It was definately crowded!

So work is still going really well! I fell down while taking someone on a tour the other day and fell on the same knee that I always seem to fall on. Didn't feel too good. And it was very embarassing! I seem to fit in very well here and that's nice. All of us get along well in the office. I'm not quite over how I was treated before so I still take some stuff a little too personally but I'm working on it. Ray has been meeting me for lunch a lot which is a nice break in the middle of the day.

My cousin Jaime got engaged over the weekend of the 4th!! How exciting!! They will be getting married next summer! We've been waiting for him to finally pop the question. He asked Tammie & David's permission first (of course they were going to say yes, he's already part of the family!) and I guess he asked over dinner. I haven't heard all the details yet. Erica turned 13 in June, I can't believe she is so old already! A teenager! I can remember when all of them were born!! Janae graduated high school and will be going to WSU in the fall. She is leaving on August 13th so I'm hoping to have her over before she leaves. It was a big couple of weeks for our family but definately exciting!

Didn't do much on the 4th. I couldn't go to Moses Lake because I had to work Saturday and Sunday. Ray and I played mini-golf at Willows and I won! I got a hole in one also! :D Then we hung out at a friend's for BBQ and fireworks. Sad that it isn't what I'm used to for the 4th and not having Jess here to celebrate her bday on the 3rd made me sad too. Wish she was here.

Anyway, that's about it for today. Just wanted to give you the big updates. And, I need a computer so I can start downloading some pictures. So until then, I won't be posting any pics. So sorry.
