Welp. Its official. In August, for my birthday, my husband and I are flying to Colorado. There are two reasons for this trip. 1) We never had a honeymoon due to school and work, and he wants to see where I grew up, and 2) I am reuniting with my biological father and that side of my family, after almost 10 years. I am excited, and a little scared, all at the same time. I have tons of family in Utah and Colorado, so I'll be spending a week visiting people, and seeing the town where I grew up. I bought the tickets today, and now, I'm getting a little anxious.
We also bought a new sofa and loveseat. (if you saw what we used before, you would know that this was a necessity). I payed $225 for the set we bought, its queen anne style, and its HUGE in my livingroom. I look silly sitting on it because I'm so short, so my legs just kind of hang there suspended in the air. I also was a little spoiled and got a new sewing machine, a new bike, and some new clothes. Hooray.
I love the summer. Well, mostly. I hate that it rains and is nasty in the afternoon, but I love on Sundays when its beautiful and my mom and dad invite me to go boating. After 8 years of living in Florida, I finally got to see a manatee. Not very exciting, but he was giant, and adorable. It was also my little brother's birthday, so I made him a mud and... worms cake. It was fairly awesome. Cake and boating pics below the spoiler.

I'm off to enjoy my evening playing WoW and then go bike riding. Yay.
