Life, Love and the pursue of the Purse Part One

Wow it's been a while since I have updated the blog...but it's been hectic around here. I remember a time when life slowed down during the summer. Everyone would be outside, running around in the sprinklers, drinking lemonade and hanging out until well after the sun went down. Enter in adulthood. Nothing really changes from season to season. You still have to go to work, clean the house, pay the bills and try to get some free time in.
So a few weeks ago, me and a few of mu siblings look an inflatable raft up American Fork Canyon and floated around on the reservoir. It was wonderful. So good in fact that I am still peeling due to the sunburn. But it reminded me what summer was about. Thanks for the fun time Andy, Andrea, Wendi and Gina!

I have been settling into my new job and for the first time in a while, I am happy at work. I work with good people and enjoy my days more. Mike has been doing a lot of gigging with both of his bands, Molly Drive and The Wolf Gang. Hop on over to his Facebook page and you can see their You Tube videos. They are so much fun to listen to and watch. And I am not going to lie, the extra money has been nice too! It also reminds me of how truly talented my husband is. He is a wonderful musician and has a great stage presence.

Speaking of my husband, we celebrated our 2nd anniversary last month. It's kind of hard to believe that we have been married that long. It all seems so long ago that we became sealed for time and all eternity. We have been through a lot in the past two years. There have been some very hard times. A lot of married people don't experience half of what we have in the past two years for a long time afterwards. With health issues, heart attacks, surgeries, moving, cars, school, jobs, communication, money, it has been a rough road. But as I sit here tonight, looking over at my husband playing on his computer, I realize that I do love him more now than I did two years ago. So for our anniversary, Mike gave me a beach cruiser bicycle. I love it. I will post pictures later. And then I also got Harry Potter Lego for the Xbox 360. It is a pretty sweet game. I have all of the Lego games except for Rock Band. But I will own it someday. It will be mine.

I have also become slightly obsessed with a purse lately. It is a line of bags called Miche Bags (Mee - Chee). I have seen them for years and always wondered about getting one. And now...I am in love. If you don't know what a Miche Bag is, go to their website - www.michebag.com and check them out. Then go to the Fashion Place Mall, go to the kiosk by the food court, ask for Paul and get yourself one. Here is a picture of my most recent bad:

And here is the other one that I have:

I have such a hard time finding purses that are a reasonable price and sturdy. But these puppies are wonderful. They come on three different sizes and there are different covers for each one. Read about it on the website. Seriously...you won't regret it. Your husband may not like me for a while because you are buy so many, but he will get over it.

I was trying to think about more of the methodical things that have been cruising in my cerebellum as of late, but nothing is coming at the moment. But I think right now I can hear my pillow calling to me. It has missed me lately. We haven't had as many dates as usual. So, I will continue to think and continue on part two of this entry. So, until then, sweet dreams and Miche Bags!
