1. Unexpected alone time. One of the sisters from my ward called and asked if Josh could come to their house to play for a while with her son. She came and picked him up just after I'd put Dekker down for a nap. I wasn't quite sure what to do with myself for a moment- with unplanned time to myself for a moment. I resisted the urge to take a nap and instead FINALLY finished the last of the grouting on the boys' bathroom and the grouting on our tiled ledge in our bathroom.

2. The gym. I finally broke down and bought a Gold's gym pass. I'm not a fan of this monopolizing gym company- but they are close and have good hours etc. So I found a good deal on a pass from a guy on KSL Classifieds who was selling his contract (so much better than going in and getting "sold to" by one of their sales people. It's been nice to go with Becca or just by myself when I need a break. Besides, now that I'm approaching the big 3-0 I figure I gotta start doing more to keep myself in shape. It seems like I'm suddenly getting very soft around the edges.

3. Speaking of the big 30th bday coming up... is it sad that I'm actually looking forward to a big birthday party?! Most people avoid them at this age. I guess its because since my Birthday is so close to the 4th of July, I never end up doing anything for my birthday. I told Jake that for my 30th I wanted a big party. It's nice too, because this year the way the dates fall my birthday and 4th of July are actually separated into different weekends. So those of you who live in the area... be expecting and invitation for the 28th of this month!
