Our Weekend & A New Chapter

This past weekend was HOT. Friday and Saturday were both over 100 degrees and miserable. Friday Josh dropped off his company truck in Raleigh because it was his last day with that company. He is starting a new job today and we are both so excited for this change. Right now he is on his way to Raleigh to meet with his new boss, go over policies, pick up his new truck, and meet some other staff. He will be doing the same thing that he was doing with his old job but this is with a much larger company, better pay and benefits, and a lot nicer people. I really think he is going to love this change and I know it will be much better for our family. Anyway, after Josh got back into town on Friday afternoon we went to open a new checking account at a new bank. We are frustrated and tired of our current bank and we thought that with this new job it was a good time to switch everything over. After that, we went to get some dinner and then to Target. Let me tell you, just walking from the car to the building was awful. Saturday was the same way. We didn't want to get out of the house but we had to go to Sam's Club and get a bunch of stuff for a big party on Sunday. After we got home we didn't go anywhere else that day. We enjoyed the 69 degree air conditioning. Sunday was the big day. We had been planning a big surprise 50th birthday party for my dad, who birthday is July 4th. It went great. My dad was completely surprised and we had a nice turnout too. It was supposed to be 100 degrees on Sunday too but we had some storms come through that cooled it off a little. Still really hot, but not unbearable. I was so tired after I got home last night. I am so glad that my dad didn't know anything about it because that made it so much more special. We are so happy that so many could come to celebrate with us. This week is supposed to be a little bit cooler, thank goodness.
