8.6.17

We celebrated our anniversary this week. We had decided to keep it simple and go out to eat later in the week (mostly because it was so hot later in the week!) We also got hit with a huge auto maintenance bill.. so that helped us decide on to keep our anniversary celebrations small. :/ We weren't complaining.. (out loud.. too much) and I was trying to have the best attitude in seeing the glass half full, not empty. We could pay the auto bill.. etc. but not have anything extra..

Ray works what's called a crazy 9 schedule and has every other Friday off. He had take Thursday off, too. He came home Wednesday night with some important news to tell me. One of his co workers heard that we weren't doing anything and decided that we should, so she wouldn't take no for an answer and bought a hotel night for us at Ocean Shores!!! How amazing is that! It's so great that people are still so nice. There is good everywhere still!
We had a great time going to the beach! It was a cool 64 degrees and it felt wonderful after the high 90s in town!


We drove around town a little bit exploring and saw deer everywhere! There were lots of babies, too! Where we saw these deer, there were 3 or 4 more across the street and another little family beside them!


We had fun doing FaceTime with Hazel and Melissa with the beach in he background!


And some more cuteness!


hahahaha


And I found these in one of those fun little beach shops!! I may have to go back and buy them for a white elephant gift. Lol!


Umm.. yes.. a Seahawks Flag with our American flag on the beach..

Our lesson in Sunday school was really good today. We are studying church history. We were talking about when the saints were building the Navuoo temple and when they were starting to take out their endowments and happy and excited they were. Also how happy our ancestors are in getting their work done. The comparison was made of how sometimes we (me, too) complain about how much traffic there is and how long it takes to get to our temple and then our ancestors have been waiting for a couple hundred years.. I think I can do an extra hour. I'm grateful for the temple and that families can be forever! I'm happy that Ray and I got married and sealed in the temple 25 years ago!

Have a great week!
Love ya!
