I'm still here!

Well, it has been over a month since I have posted anything. Let's recap what has been happening:

* I had to go to jury duty on the 16th of June. I didn't get called to serve though so I was able to go to work for the afternoon.

* Cameron is still enjoying hockey and started a new semester

* Cameron went to his first day camp for cub scouts. Boy, oh boy, did he come home DIRTY!! He bought 2 pocket knives while he was there. The first day he bought a smaller one and it wasn't very sharp so the next day he bought a bigger, sharper one.

* My parents came out for a week to visit over my birthday. They didn't appreciate how warm the weather was while they were here. It got to 100 at least one of the days. Mom and I got our haircut the day before they left.

* I turned 36! I don't really feel any older except for the knee problem. Speaking of the knee, it is going well. It doesn't hurt too much unless I over do it. My parents bought me a cast iron dutch oven and gave me some money. This pot cooks amazingly well and looks good too!
* I got a Wii! Cameron told Michael that I wanted a Wii for my birthday so that is what they got me. It is so much fun! I also bought a Wii Fit a few days after my birthday when I finally found some in-stock. Now I am searching for Mario Kart!

* Saw 2 movies with my parents. Cameron wanted to see Get Smart on the 4th but when we got there it didn't have any seats next to one another for 5 people so we had to see "The Incredible Hulk" It actually wasn't that bad of a movie. Then a few days later mom wanted to see "Kung Fu Panda" so we did. That was a cute movie.

* My almost 14 year old cat had 3 teeth removed and now only has her front teeth. She had some nasty infection and now her breath smells so much nicer! I hate that I have to give her soft food as that isn't good for her remaining teeth, but what else could she eat. She has actually started to put on some weight. I really think her mouth had been hurting her for awhile, but I had her teeth cleaned just two months prior and had one other tooth extracted and thought she would do better. No such luck for her.

* Cameron had his last day of school on July 1st and now on July 28th he becomes a 3rd grader. We're going up to the school today to see if they have his teacher posted on the window. That was always my favorite time of summer...walking up to my school to see who my teacher was going to be for the year. I don't think I was ever disappointed. It was always so much fun to find out who would be in my class. Cameron is going to be on a different year-round track this year and is leaving behind many of his friends that have been in his class for the past 3 years. This wasn't my choice...we have to put in for what track we want in order of preference and we didn't get what we wanted at all. So, we put in another request and got our 2nd choice.

* Still going to school. I only am taking one class this summer and it is almost over. I will finish up this next weekend and then have some time off before my last prerequisite starts at the end of August.

* Got a letter from the dental hygiene department saying that they are estimating my enrollment into the course to be Fall 2009 instead of Fall 2010 like they first anticipated. There is also the possibility that I could get in this year, but I think that is pretty slim. I am so excited that I will be starting one year earlier than expected.

* Had my hair highlighted this week and it is fun. I had two shades of blonde put in and a darker red-brown color.

* Hung out with Shannon at her house for a few hours this week. It was so nice to see her again and catch up on what's been happening.

Well, I am off to clean house and after that is all done I think I will play the Wii with Cameron. Hope all is well with everyone and have a fantastic weekend!
