Redneck Retreat






July has proven to be as busy and June! We spent the first weekend (3 nights, 4 days) in Prescott to celebrate the 4th of July. A group of about 20 of us went to visit Teresa and Steve at their new pad! We made it a hot rod weekend and braved the heat and sun. The weather was beautiful up north and we even had some rain! There was the perfect amount of food, fun, music, beer, adventure, hiking, hauntings and cuddles. We ended up on Whiskey Row to do some dancing and gallivanting. The rodeo was in town so lets just say we attracted some peculiar looks!

The following weekend was an "in town" weekend, which have been fewer and farther between since it got hot out! I basically spent the entire weekend by the pool or in the pool at Mary's new house. We BBQed and stayed up late floating around. Went to a show and saw some old friends, but we quickly got sweaty (cruising in the T-bird) so we high tailed it to the grocery store for supplies then back in the pool! I love my friends... and I love that my friends have pools. After a nerve wracking week of wondering if the fella and I got wet spots on the unfinished wood floors we found out it was BEAR (Merritt's dog)!! Whew.... I was seriously thinking our B&E turned into destruction of private property haha. That's the last time I crawl through a window in my friends unoccupied house just so we can swim!

This weekend was spent in Flagstaff for the annual Redneck Weekend at Mary's flagstaff house. We ended up with 12 adults and 8 kiddos.... pretty good turnout despite some drama right before we took off. We are planning another redneck weekend for Aug so the people that missed out (or didn't want to chill with the kiddos) can come and partake. Weee! It was a perfect weekend of BBQing, cliff diving, bar crawling downtown, story time around the fire and shooting BIG guns! I shot a few for the first time..... including the 45 and the AK-47. It was a trip! I'm SO not happy to be back home, but kitty boy missed me. <3

Work is stressful as always.... this promotion is taking the life right out of my soul. I sat at my computer for 10.5 hours straight today. Kill me now!

I'm also in week 2 of SCHOOL. Yeah, I went back again. Weee. Wish me luck. It's hard.
