A BIG Week!!

WOW- this past week has been so great!! First of all, I quit my job- which means I have a lot more free time! It has been so relaxing and fun! It truly has felt like my own little vacation time before we move back home to UTAH. So here are a few things I've been able to enjoy this last week....
first things first... I did some DEEP cleaning of the apartment (which wasn't fun, but very much needed). I have been able to lay by the pool and read.... and swim laps (thanks to the Triathlon we just found out we are doing in 2 weeks... AHHH). I watched movies and went to Batman (again) in the I-max theater with Kory. I finally finished the 3rd book (Eclipse) of the twilight series. I got to go shopping with my husband. Kory is beginning to be a pretty fun shopping buddy! he doesn't really enjoy it when i make him come in the woman's department, but he has become so patient! sometimes he'll wonder off in the middle of the mall and find a tv, but most of the time he sits in the chair while i'm trying things on and gives me his opinion. He's actually really handy when i need a different size of something!! :) This time it was great because we ended up buying him a lot of things that he wanted/needed.
The most exciting things I've been able to do this week are these pictures...
Monday morning, Kory had a bunch of service tickets to do in Newport news, So i went with him and waited in the car while he did those. It was really hot and boring but after that we went to the Newport News park and went on a canoe ride! it was so pretty there and so relaxing (other than the few bug bites I got and Kory trying to shake the boat to make me think we were gonna fall in). After that we went to out to lunch at a chinese restaurant, which was delicious!



















This last weekend was the BEST! Friday, late afternoon, Kory and I drove to Williamsburg and walked around and bought some treats from the candy shop! Everything you could possibly imagine was dipped in chocolate there. Kory got a chocolate covered twinkie and i got a chocolate covered marshmallow on a stick (wierd- but so yummy)!!






























After that we drove up to Richmond and went to another Concert!! this time it was BOSTON (one of Kory's Favorite bands) we had a lot of fun rocking out to 80's music with all the fans!
After that, we went out to dinner and slept in a cheap motel. Not the best of places, but we didn't care because we were tired and didn't want to spend a ton of money on a place to sleep.













The next morning, we woke up and drove to the DC temple! it was closed for cleaning so we just walked around and took pictures and talked with the missionaries in the visitors center and saw some great stuff there.




















After that we drove to the main stuff in DC. We saw so many great historical things there! I loved it all!! We were SO exhausted afterwards. We drove straight home and went to bed.









The next day we woke up and went to church and got to teach the Sunbeams in primary for the 3rd week in a row!! we loved teaching, singing, and playing with those little kids. We were SO sad to leave them today because it was our last sunday here in Virginia. This next week will be our last week here and then we will move to Utah again. another 4 more days of vacation time for me, and then we'll be back in Utah where we will go back to school and back to our busy schedules. It has been great this summer living here. I will miss it so much!!!
