Can't believe that Thanksgiving has come and gone! We went to mom and dad's house in Kearns this year. Mom wasn't feeling well so Clint and Debbie stepped up to the plate and made Thanskgiving dinner. Yum!!! It was great as usual!
Trying to get the tree up this weekend...Marlin has it up so it's my turn for decorating it. I should let him do it but he says he's not an inferior desecrator. Guess if I want it looking good I better do it. Hoping to get most shopping done this weekend too. Busy, busy, busy.

News flash - I haven't posted in a while.... now on to other things. Josh had a meet last weekend and was able to take 2nd place in the 200 butterfly. Still continues to be his best event. We are planning to trip to California to a meet called Far Westerns so he can swim it there. He's very excited! School is going pretty good for him. We figured that at the end of the year he will need 3 credit hours to graduate high school. Maybe a job is on the horizon? He tried to get hired as a lifeguard last summer but was a little slow on getting his applications in and everything was filled already. Better luck this year!
I am not looking forward to the cold! We got about 12 inches at our house from this last storm. Luckily most of it has melted. I am still running occasionally (about once a week) but I've decided now that this time of year has rolled around, I better start doing more time on the treadmill. I was track running when Josh was swimming early morning (5:30) but now it's too cold. Saw a picute of myself when I was at my lowest weight and I can't believe I've gained it all back! The battle is back on. If I did it once, I guess I can do it again. Seems to be harder the older I get (go figure).

School is now under way and Josh is liking all his classes. Now if I could just get him to turn in the work after he does it...
We found out that his 200 butterfly that he did so awesome in long course qualifies him to go to the Far Western meet in California in April! He's WAY excited about that! So we're saving money to ensure that there's enough to get us there. This will be the first time he's been to California.
Work is still work for me. Each day is different and we all certainly keep busy! Still trying to work my fanny off at the gym too. Not being very successful but a good workout seems to help keep me sane.

IT'S A CUT!!!!!
4th of July has come and gone...We got up that morning and did some things around the house, washed the vehicles and then went to my mom & dad's for a bbq. Kinda weird celebrating the 4th on a Weds. and having to go to work the next day. Too many Mondays!!! It was all fun though.
Josh is swimming in another swim meet this week, too. Yesterday he swam the 200 butterfly, 50 freestyle, and 200 breast stroke. Not a bad way to start a meet...he dropped 13 seconds and the 200 fly and got a state cut and then turned around and dropped 7 seconds off his 200 breast! Amazing drops! I was SO excited I think the whole pool heard me scream! We had a little delay, too. Nice little lightning storm stopped the meet for about 45 minuntes. Today he's swimming the 100 free and 200 I/M. He has a shot at the state cut for the 100 free so I'm excited to see how he does. I think after yesterday's cut he's going to do good! Saturday he will be swimming the 100 back, 100 fly, and 200 free. Got a chance at a couple of state cuts there, too. Actually, if he keeps doing as well as he is (is this asking too much?) he could get cuts on all 3 on Saturday. Wouldn't that be AWESOME!!!!!!!
After the meet, we are celebrating Marlin's birthday. The whole family is coming and we're going to smoke some ribs and whole chickens, have grilled zucchini, bell peppers, and onions, sweet potatoes and salad. I think Debbie's going to bake a black forest cake for him, too. Can't wait!

Week over yet?
Well, this week has found me without my Joshua. He went to scoup camp on Tues. and won't be back till Sat. I know he was really excited to go because he got out of swim practice almost the whole week...
I have been keeping busy; Tues. night I went to Golds on University Parkway to go to a Zumba class with a friend from work. Boy it was fun! Haven't done Zumba in a VERY long time! Surprisingly wasn't that sore, either. Like that! Then last night I went to my regular gym and worked my biceps & triceps. That made me MORE sore! Tonight I get to run! Maybe one of these days I'll lose what I've been trying to the last 3 years or so. If not, at least I'm doing something!
We got out garden planted about 3 weeks ago and the strawberries that I planted last year are really producing some good ones this year! Love strawberries! Can't wait to see what else grows. We planted zucchini, red and green peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes and I even tried a watermelon plant. Hopefully, something will come out of it.
Been wondering if I should get one of the Pass of all Passes and if I did, how much I would use it. Hmmmm?
Marlin had a good Father's Day. The whole family came over for a BBQ. My mom, dad, sister, brother, sis-in-law with her daughter, Amber, Nate, Desi, Lillie, Ty, Ashly, Jaxson, Carter and McKinnley! What a group! Had lots of fun with the kiddos though.

Offically certified
Well, Josh is officially certified to become a lifeguard! He took the lifeguard training this week since it's Spring Break and now he is ready to become employed. I can't believe he's old enough to hold down a job. He's pretty excited about lifeguarding this year. Hope he can find something pretty soon. He did get an application from the Provo Rec. Center yesterday so it's just a matter of getting him to fill it out.

High school swimming
So Josh did the high school swim team this year along with the USA team he is on. I can tell you that it's quite the experience! Meets are done SO differently and, of course, I was there to officiate. There's never enough of those! So I've definitely put my training to good use this year! Josh did well on the team and says he wants to swim on the team the rest of his high school years. I think next year he will definitely be competing at the state meet. Unfortunately he didn't make it this year but he will be there to cheer his teammates on. Go Red Devils!
