Embarrassing

I just had to tell everyone about my shopping trip today. I decided to check out the Win Co Foods in Orem because I have heard it is cheaper than Walmart. Yes I am cheap. So I shopped and found some really good deals on baby food and cereal. I probably had 50 or 60 dollars worth of food in my cart when I went to the check out. The cashier just finished ringing me up so, I swiped my credit card and the machine said, "debit or check". I was very confused but I asked the cashier if they took credit cards. And to my surprise they do not. Of course I do not have a debit or check with me. It was pretty embarrassing having gotten all that stuff just to leave it with the cashier. They said they would hold it for me but I decided it would be easier to just go to Harmon's. Win Co really is cheaper but almost not worth the drive to Orem.

I Love Summer

I love summer and being outside!!! I also love being in the water even if there is no boat involved. My friend Melanie called me the other day and asked me if I wanted to go float the Provo River with her and her husband. Of course I did but what I did not know was how cold the water was going to be. The one day in the summer when the temperature was below 80. If it is scorching hot the water does not seem as bad but when the wind is blowing and it is only 75 degrees, floating the river is just not as fun. It took us about 45 minutes to get down the river and at first it kinda sucked but once we became numb it was fun.

We celebrated the 4th of July the same night by having a fmaily barbecue and watching the Stadium of Fire at BYU. It was a disappointment because the show was not as long or as exciting as years past.On the real 4th we decided to go to the ranch with some mission friends. We left Sunday night after church and had a nice dinner. We ate elk steaks with potato salad and beans. Matt makes amazing steaks! We had a nice little camp fire and roasted marshmallows and ate dutch oven peach cobbler. The next morning we shot guns and played around on the four-wheelers. No one got hurt thank gooodness.

In the end we had a great 4th of July. We are so grateful to live in a free country and are thankful for those serving in the armed forces.
