This weekend was just what the doctor ordered. Taylor and I have been so stressed with work and school and home life. It was great to just get out of the house and relax with good friends  We decided to head down to the Cable Factory on Monday. Its a little man made lake with lots of cool wake boarding jumps. I didn't attempt any of those... We invited a few couples from our ward and just hung out. It was a blast eating watermelon and having all the babies play together. I hadn't been swimming in years! It was so fun getting to play in the water with Harper and cool down on such a hot day. The water was pretty gross, and Harper really didn't like it at first. But her baby friend Lucy convinced her to stay and play. Aren't they so cute in their watermelon swim suits? I can't handle it. We stayed for a few hours and just soaked up the sun (don't worry lots of sun screen was applied). Afterward, we headed home, washed off, and took a good long sleep. I'm so grateful for this tiny family of mine. They are so much fun to adventure with. Even if Harper drives me crazy trying to eat rocks constantly and Taylor takes the longest way possible to drive anywhere.  I still love them to pieces. I also wanted to say that my heart was really turned toward those who have served our country this weekend. I have pondered a lot about them and their family members they have left behind. I hope that God can grant those families the peace that they need.
