Summer sure has gotten away from us...so we decided this new post would be full of pictures to show ya what's been going on.
OUR BIRTHDAY WEEK--
Yep! we have the same birthday week :) Jake's is June 13th and mine is June 15th. So we celebrated with the Campbells and the Justesen clan. We ended the night with Grandma and Grandpa's new favorite game called "aggravation" --It sure is aggravating-- Boys against Girls...and of course the boys won!
On the 15th... my actual birthday...Jake surprised me with decorations all over the apartment and night out to an Italian restaurant (my fav!!)
Gma and Gpa--
Living near Grandma and Grandpa Campbell has been soooo nice :) We love going over there to visit! I've been painting with grandma, learning how to make gravy and pies, doing water aerobics at the club house, playing pool with grandpa, and cruising around the neighborhood in their golf cart :)
Look! Jake and Grandpa are wearing the same shorts! They're lookin' so fly ;) Grandma got Jake those shorts for his Birthday, and Grandpa for Father's Day...Funny thing was-->she had no idea they were the same!
WORK--
Has been going well! Jake and I are so grateful that I could work at Dr. Justesen's Dental Office. It's been fun learning how a dental office works, and how to deal with insurance claims.
Here's me at the front desk!
Jake has been doing well with his Pest Control gig. It's a smaller company down here in AZ...and if you sell a certain amount of sales in a day, then the Boss treats you to dinner :) So, here's a pic of us at texas road house enjoying our meal :) -->thanks for the advice of what to get, kayla!<--
DEATH OF BANZAI--
Banzai is Jake's red Honda Civic Hatchback...unfortunately, on the way to work the engine threw a rod and completely shot the engine. Stranded, on the side of the freeway, Jake walked a couple miles to work and tried to figure out how get some help towing it... he had no such luck.
Eventually, Jake found a friend that could help us. So we borrowed the friend's truck and drove out to the freeway where Banzai sat...but it was GONE!! We called the police and found out that it had been towed :( BUMMER.
Long story short. We couldn't get the car out until the next day :(
While driving to the lot, a bird flew in front our car and we hit it!!!! AHHHHH! I freaked out!
To our surprise, we found the bird dead as a doornail on the grill of my car--chillin' like a Christmas wreath. Ewwwww. Jake sure was fascinated! I, however, was quite disgusted.
...neither of us wanted to touch it--and so (couple days later) it fell off somewhere.
Sorry birdie!
GO-KARTING--
Jake's favorite place!
Go-Karting is one of the bonus's at Jake's work if they sell a certain amount of accounts during the week. We absolutely LOVE this place!
CHERISE'S BAPTISM---
YAYY! Jake and I were thrilled of Cherise's decision to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints :) Matt came down to baptize her!! That was so fun having him down in AZ. Wish he could have stayed longer!
4TH OF JULY---
For the 4th, we celebrated with Chris and his g/f Elyssa :) We sure did have feast!! Hamburgers, 7 layer dip, corn on the cob, watermelon, and chocolate cake :) yummm! Then we headed to Mill Ave. in Tempe to watch the Fireworks show (ppl say its the best one in the area). The whole day was SO FUN!
MOM'S VISIT FOR CHRIS'S BIRTHDAY--
