.June showers

Its been raining here a lot lately. But that's not what I'm talking about when I say June showers.

What I'm referring to is the bathroom shower renovation that’s been going on in our apartment for the past two weeks.

I know what you're thinking if you read my blog often: "Wait a minute, hasn’t Amber talked about renovating their shower at least two times before this?"

The answer is yes. Our shower has definitely had its share of issues.

This is how it’s been doing for the past 4 months:

Slowly falling apart and leaking!

But don’t worry this time should be the last time we ever have to rip it out and redo it.

Air and his cousin are doing a reeeeeally good job this time! And they are so awesome!

And now it’s almost finished! And it's beautiful! I can’t believe how fast the renovation was! Of course, it wasn’t without some blood, sweat and….... smiles! (the blood being mine… ouch!)

And holy wow, can I just tell you how excited I am to shower in my own home again!?

We all take that for granted.

Maybe once I start smelling better and our apartment isn’t under construction I’ll get some more job interviews!

Wish me luck!

Beaumont Days fair and fireworks show on Saturday night:

Tessa and I were beyond excited to be there!

Air was probably just lucky he was awake after the longest work week EVER

That Air sure knows his way around a camera:

Can you believe that here in Canada the sun doesn’t go down until 11pm this time of year?!

It is so awesome.

And by the way - Canadian fair's are very similar to American ones. In case you were wondering.

Fireworks have got to be my favorite thing about summer.

.Love to See The Temple

{I got to help plant flowers at the temple again}

It was raining most of the time on Monday, but we were just glad it wasn’t as hot as last year.

The cool, wet weather was perfect for gardening. And I should mention that it's Thursday now and STILL raining!

We got it done way faster this time - and it was so much FUN! I could definitely stand to do that every day if it were a job. Why can't that be a job?

Oh, and there were some really awesome people there to talk to while we worked :)

.the damage

We got hit on the way to church yesterday. Our little scrappy car got damaged more than it’s worth to get it repaired. A lady was turning left and pulled out right into us as we drove through an intersection. Pretty sure we’re just down a car again. Oh well?

We were lucky we didn’t get hurt… and that our friends Duane and Jenna happened to be driving by after the accident and stopped and gave us a ride. We even made it to the last hour of church.

the redemption

On a more positive note - we had a really fun weekend with the family!

climbing trees

fighting with big sticks?

and crossing the big bridge

Canada really is beautiful, isn’t it?

.Daisies

I got flowers for Mother's Day in Utah, even though I'm definitely not a mother last I checked.
But as we drove into Canada I called my Dad to tell him we made it and he informed me that I forgot my flowers..... so he went ahead and planted them in his garden for me.

My Dad is awesome.

I was a little sad that I forgot them. (I also forgot the awesome crock-pot that he found for me at a yard sale)

GRRRRRRR!

This last weekend my Mother-in-law randomly got me these cute flowers because they reminded her of me...

Probably because we had daisies this color at my wedding.

I know you wish you had my Mother-in-law, but you can’t have her. She’s mine!

*Here’s a picture of my reception with the daisies on the tables before the crowds moved in:

-------------------------------------------------

We’ve really been loving Rundle Park lately and are planning on taking my friend Nichole and her hub there when they come visit in a few short months! We can't wait!

We follow this trail that goes along this beautiful river all the way to that big bridge you see clear down there.

And, of course, we play frisbee. A lot.

By the way I’ve been back to the drawing board looking for jobs again today. This sucks.
