The "M" word.

Lately I have been thinking about marriage a lot. Usually you would never hear, see, or find me talking about marriage let alone thinking about it. But my brother is getting married at the beginning of September and now I'm starting to get the marriage buzz? Don't get me wrong I am VERY excited for the day when I can stop looking for someone and just be with my man for the rest of my life. But why is finding "my man" so hard?! I don't understand why he won't just walk into my life and sweep me off my feet and take to me a castle where I can live the rest of my life like a queen...? I know life truly isn't like the Disney movies I have watched as a child, but a girl can dream right? Or does it happen like that? I don't know for sure. Marriage is kind of a scary thought for someone like me, who doesn't really know exactly what she wants in life right now. It totally freaks me out sometimes, but lately I'm starting to accept it almost? I don't know what exactly I am trying to say right now so I'm just blabbing. Sorry. I know marriage is going to be a hard thing, but I'm looking forward to the challenges that I will have with my husband. It will only make us that much stronger as a couple right? Anyways, those are just some of my random, not really making sense, thoughts of marriage.

So I'm assuming you all want to know some new stories about my adventures of being a nanny. Well I haven't had anything crazy happen like last week, but we did go to Writing-On-Stone on Friday. It was a beautiful day, especially for something like that because it wasn't too hot but not too cold, just absolutely perfect! So my cousins were up from Utah so they joined us on our journey. Everyone fell in love with Eli and how could you not?! He is just simply so cute! The older boy cousins just kind of took the boys under their wings and just played with them the entire day. It was nice to have a little break and fun for the boys to have some male bonding time? At one point Maxx got all fired up and hit my cousin Tanner right in the downstairs boy area. Tanner, apparently, taught Maxx a lesson to never do that again. I'm not quite sure what technique he used but it worked.

All this week Sam and Maxx are in a junior science camp at the U of L, so it's just going to be Eli and me all week! I'm really excited for it just to be us, and then the next week our family is making the trek down to Utah for our Whitehead family reunion! It's going to be a great couple of weeks!

Those are all the stories I have for today!
