Speechless...

Ok I've totally been slacking lately, but really I've been at a loss for words this whole last couple of weeks. I don't even know why. But here is my lame attempt to recap the last week or so... Well, let's see, what have we been doing?... working, running people to and from the airport, watching Prison Break, reading a good book, trying to exercise regularly (swimming, biking, lifting, hiking, etc.), entertaining Flat Stanley (I'll explain later), trying to be a good wife and good cook (just me of course, I don't think Bryan wants to be a good wife, but whatever), trying to be good friends, playing coed ward volleyball, and having Bryan's parents and one of his brothers staying at our house... I think that's about it.

It's actually been a lot of fun. Bryan's fam was able to come and visit for almost a week. It was really good to see them. Bryan's brother Marc was entertaining as usual. He has Downs Syndrome and is such a sweetheart. He looks up to Bryan so much it's awesome. And he always makes us laugh. Among the funny moments were him pulling me aside and saying that Stephanie Lovio is hot, him "beating" us in arm wrestling and bragging about how strong he is and how weak Bryan is, and of course his WWF poses and moves (he LOVES WWF, or whatever it is called now). So yeah, it was fun to have his family around, especially since we don't get to see them alot.

Ok, the Flat Stanley thing... Our friends from Arkansas (well, their son Jalen) sent us a Flat Stanley that we are supposed to take somewhere around here and show him a good time. We then take pictures of him and write a letter about his experiences. I guess people all over the world do this, but I had never heard of it. But anyway, it's really a cute idea. So after fulfilling our craving of Titos Tacos (SOOO Yummy!) with Stephanie, Danny and Sydney, we went to Santa Monica Pier and brought Flat Stanley along with us. He was able to see some REALLY interesting people, take pictures in front of the ferris wheel, see Sydney's awesome dance moves, and have some yummy funnell cake. Good times!

One more thing... on Saturday morning Bry and I went to the gym and then decided we needed to get the dogs some exercise. I guess we were feeling extra motivated that day because we dedcided to take them on a hike to the cross on the mountain in Simi. It was seriously a perfect day. It was warm but it was so clear and there was a nice cool breeze. The dogs stayed right with us and did so good. We took some pictures at the top. It was beautiful!!

So yeah, I think that about sums it up. I need to be a better blogger in the future, so hopefully I can figure it out and know what to say. I really suck at this!! haha But it's ok right?
