Viva, Viva - it's SHOWTIME!

As many of you know, I have recently returned from my Mexico vacation. I spent a fun filled week in the areas surrounding Cancun, Mexico-with two of the coolest people I know :)
If I were to describe and list everything that we did, it would most likely read like a travel brochure. Yes! it was that fun!
Parasailing, kayaking, snorkeling, swimming in the ocean and in our "special pool", digging for seashells, diet pepsi with lime, playing cards, yummy oatmeal, tennis on a rooftop court, visiting the ancient Mayan ruins, moon gazing in our happy place, watching and laughing at the nighttime entertainment and sweating profusely are just a few of the many highlights from the vacation. (I decided to leave out our sunbathing adventures. In my mind, somethings are better left unsaid! )
It was a week of laughing, laughing and more laughing. I am so blessed to have had this experience, but more importantly to have been able to share it with the individuals that I did.
I love you both dearly and will cherish these memories and our friendship forever!

While I was gone, the Lowe children were well taken of. I think they had a good time playing with friends and hanging out with their Dad. Mark always plans a project when I go out of town, and this trip was no acception. He started tearing out the basement bathroom, so we can redo the shower and the floor. Sounds fun, huh !

It's hard to believe that the month of June is almost over. It has been a month of ups and downs, happiness and sadness, but also a month of personal reflection.
The beginning of June was spent helping Mom and Dad with their move to Florida. This was a task that at the time I wasn't as grateful for as I am now. It was time consuming, very tiresome and most days - I couldn't wait for it to be over. But on the other hand, I almost didn't want it to end because then I knew what the end result was going to bring.
As sad as I am to have my family spread out all over the United States, I am excited for the adventures that will come because of it. No matter where we all are, we are still family and I love you all!

The summer is still filled with several activities for the Lowe family. Mason will be going to Scout Camp, I will be cooking food for the Young Women at their camp and if we can squeeze it in, we might actually get a family camping trip in there somewhere.

Our family hopes that all of you that read this are doing well and remembering how much we love and appreciate you. Life is good!

Birthdays, Basketball, Biking, and Boxes

This is the week of the B's. We started the week with Evan in a week long basketball camp at Davis High School. He learned alot of "sweet moves" and got his first experience with playing shirts and skins. He was a "skin" all week. This was a thrill of course because he has some serious muscles that he loves to show off!

Evan also celebrated his 10th birthday. He received many gifts, but his favorites were a juggling set from Grandma Janet and a webkin dog from Papa Kent/Grandma Chris named Coco. We had a fun party equipped with food, fun and lots of laughing.

I rode in the annual Little Red Riding Hood Bike Ride that was on Saturday, June 7th, in Cache Valley. In years past it has been held on warm, sunny days. This year was a new experience. I think that Mother Nature wanted to treat me to all kinds of weather that day. Rain, hail, wind, clouds and very little sun. The temperature was only 40 degrees at the 8:00 am start. Brrrr.
The best part of the whole ride was reaching the end and realizing that I had my own little cheering section waiting for me. I knew that Mark would be there, and I was excited to see him, but what a great surprise to find my dear friends Michelle and Jodi waiting there as well. They brought me all sorts of "red" treats in a red bag and we celebrated the completion of the ride with dinner at the Bluebird Restaurant in Logan. It was awesome!
*********************************************
Last, but certainly not least, this is the week of the big move. I have spent many hours helping my mom get ready for her big move to Florida. By Saturday, the truck will be packed, the house will be empty and life in Clinton, Utah will come to an end. I have mixed emotions about this. While I am excited for my parents to begin a new adventure, I am really going to miss them only being 10 minutes away and being able to see them whenever I want. Which is why I have started this blog. I want to make sure that all of my family feels like they are a part of our lives, whether they are 10 miles away, or 3,000. We will miss you!
