Tonight was our last night working out with Todd...it's sad. Hopefully I can reach my goals without him.

We got home tonight and went into the garage and found that our hot water heater was leaking majorly...there is water from the back of the garage where our the water heater is all the way to the front garage door and about four feet wide. Not good.

On a better note, I went to Josh and Jacob's preschool graduation today! The pic below is of the graduates with their big sis Kassidy.

This is Josh receiving his "diploma" (and a special necklace from his teachers). Too bad his eyes are closed... Jacob is in the middle of this pic...his class had little caps and gowns!! It was so adorable!

Basically I can't believe how old they are...they will be FIVE tomorrow! They each have such great individual personalities that come out more and more everyday. I can't wait to see them grow up, but I still cherish every moment I have with them now that they're young and they still hug and kiss me without being forced! I love my nephews and neice more than anything! They bring a smile to my face no matter what else is going on in my life. They'e amazing!

A few books on my summer reading list (in no particular order):

• A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah (a true story about a boy in Africa forced be a soldier...much like the movie Blood Diamond)
• Sam's Letters to Jennifer by James Patterson (chic-lit)
• The Virgin Suicides by Jeffret Eugenides (never seen the movie...thought the book looked interesting)
• Saving the World by Julia Alvarez (LOVE her...I've read two other books by her- How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents and Yo!)
• The House of Mirth and The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton (Read Ethan Frome by Wharton and it's one of my favorite books)
• The Case for a Creator: A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence that Points Toward God by Lee Strobel (Interesting... I also want to read the Bible because I never have, but more because I think it's an important historical piece and referred to very often in different contexts...not so much because of religion. )
• Something Borrowed by Emily Griffith (more chic-lit)
• The Post-Birthday World by Lionel Shriver (started it awhile ago, but never finished it. It's very very long and hard to follow, but for some reason I have to finish every book I start no matter how boring it is)

These will probably last me through about the end of June, depending on how often I get to read at my job. I love bookstores. I think it'd be so much fun to work in a small bookstore where you can sit around and read all the time. I don't get to read books I actually want to read during school, so I have to catch up over the summer. Although my pile is not nearly as large as Amy's !!!

So this is the tattoo I'm going to get....

The only problem is that I don't know anyone who can read Japanese. I found it on Google, and according to the site it means "Inner peace, Inner strength" but I want to know 100% for sure before I go putting something permanent on my body. For all I know it says something really obscene.

Hey Kev- do you have any linguist friends who know Japanese???

you know what the best feeling in the world is?

when the guy you loved and trusted and depended on for 4 years calls you up out of nowhere and accuses you of cheating on him because some random s**thead told him that I was. And this guy chooses to believe said s**thead said over you.

yup-it's amazing.
