I wonder if I will ever NOT write "a lot happened in the month of ____" ever again. Seems it just gets more full, life. But in many good ways. We got on a horse ride with our neighbors Nate and Sandy. My garden started exploding with cucumbers and zucchini so I learned how to make pickles. Of course I got a couple new nail jobs and they are amazing as usual, thanks Savanna.
I got to attend the temple for the first time since February 2020. The experience was brief but serene. Fiora comes to visit now and then which I love every time, she quit her spa job and got a lash extension part time job and apart time server job at the Rustic Spoon instead.
Us Barretts sure love to party any chance we get. More birthday parties! Abigail Carpenter turned 1, Titus and Jamin turned 6. Rachel 23, Dad 67. I got to help Christine Rappleye watch grandma Rappleye for a few days while my parents got a respite.
We also had a Schauers fun day with Tate's baptism and a luau after. Shawna asked me to play piano for Bailey to sing a number and it turned out great. Chad and Robin were in town and we enjoyed visiting with them that evening.
The Wilkinson's came to stay with us a few days in July and we LOVE having them over. Good friends and happen to be our cousins too! The quints are 14 now and their personalities all so different. We are thankful we have a place for them to stay when they visit from Texas. I took a day off work to do a activity day--horse rides at Big Springs, picnic, floating the Provo river, smoked turkey dinner and games.
Weston got his wisdom teeth out the day the Wilkinson's left, and was pretty uncomfortable for a couple of days. Thankfully no complications and he is fully recovered by now (Aug 8, real time). And finally I had an impromptu outing with some high school friends, saw a movie and had dinner and caught up with Maria Walden Olsen and Peggy Houghton Haubert. We have so many good people in our lives, I'm very grateful for every one of them.
