summer heat

lately it has been so hot here. up in the 90's, which is really rare! since our home doesnt have air conditioning, it gets in the 80's inside! jeremy and i have been sleeping downstairs on the couch since its much cooler than our bedroom, even though there are 2 fans in there, it just blows warm air around. i really dont like sleeping downstairs because i dont get as comfortable and the cats get on me and like to get right in my face. its very bothersome and i dont get good sleep that way. dang cats. haha

yesterday was a busy day for us! i got up pretty early(for my day off) and made some more of my homemade bread! i had to get up early before it started getting too hot in the house! when i was done with that, jeremy and jim came home for lunch and nikki and the kids came over so we all could eat together. that was nice. i love being home on wednesdays because i get to see jeremy during the day! when they left i took a shower and got ready to go to jeremy's re-enlistment!

on the way over jeremy told me that i am going to have to get up in front of everyone because they were going to give me something too. immediatly i could feel my face turning red and i was starting to get really nervous. i was even suggesting i just wait in the car! i absolutely HATE getting up in front of anyone or being put on the spot, so i was totally dreading this. when we got to his office, everyone was pretty much there except for the x/o and the re-enlistment officer. so we had to wait around for them. while we were waiting i was getting even more nervous and since it was super hot there i was sweating. i guess to make a long story short they finally showed up. jeremy got honorably discharged from the navy, then re-enlisted! after he swore in, the x/o started talking about military spouses and i immediatly felt the sweat build up even more and it suddenly got even hotter in the office. after that they gave me an award! hahaha, a certificate of appreciation!! i thought that was pretty nice of them! they gave jeremy 8 days special liberty and a coupon book for free stuff! they bought him a cake, and let him and the rest of the office off early! i am so proud of him. it was really cool to be a part of that, even if it was the hottest day of the year!

when we got home we got ready and went with the paino's to whistle lake in anacortes. that was an adventure! we turn onto a road to get there and there were cars lined on the sides and we were directed to park behind the last one. so we were kind of shocked it was so busy but was like, whatever. we started walking and it was a while before we got to the park entrance. we thought that we didnt have much further to go, until someone said that it was still a mile! we were all like "whhaaaatt??" because we werent anticipating a 2 mile hike to go swimming. but we kept on walking and finally made it to this little spot to swim. it was really cool. we werent bothered by a lot of people like we thought we would be. instead, people were spread around the entire lake. a lot of people were cliff jumping which scares the crap out of me! it was cool to watch from far away. the water was really nice . my favorite part of swimming is hitting the warm spots and then hitting the cold spots. it feels really cool! we swam for a while and then headed back to the car. funny thing is when you expect a walk it doesnt seem as long as when you didnt expect it. we sent the boys to go get the car for us and headed home!

when we got home we took a quick shower and then went to nikki and jims and had pizza and watched a movie. it was a very long day, but so much fun! =) i am looking forward to more days of swimming for the remaining month we are here!
