So many things....

Well our lives are full of events and activities which is awesome....keep me busy until Josh is home, then I'm unavailable :) I have spent time cleaning and organizing which will continue for the next week. It's nice to be able to do a little bit everyday. This weekend is Kimmi's bachelorette party....I can't wait. We are going to a local Vineyard for a wine tasting then live music on the patio (praying it's not humid). We are staying at a hotel with shuttle service to and from the Vineyard, and then to and from the Gaylord where we are having dinner....can't wait! The only bad thing is it's overnight....well that's good and bad. Good, maybe I'll sleep through the night but bad because I have to leave Stephanie. She'll stay with mom and only be 15 minutes away....but still. With my luck I'll still wake up every few hours like I would if she was with me.....I did that when I was in the hospital with my infection. I would wake up to check on her and feed her only to remember she wasn't there. Sunday is Fathers Day....sad! I'll probably be pretty bummed Josh is missing it. Mothers Day was no biggie because I get to be with her all the time....but I just HATE him missing stuff. I know it's just a day, but still. We are having a BBQ at Kimmi's soon-to-be in-laws....ALWAYS a good time!

Kati moves Tuesday to go join some of our family in the Sunshine State (California). Mom will watch Stephanie Wednesday so I can shampoo carpets, clean bathrooms, paint, mop and mow the yard (it will take half the time if I don't have to stop to be a mommy and I want it all done in a day :) It will be an ALL DAY EVENT but I am hoping it's done at that point. We'll spend the next few days getting a few last minute things for our company and just having fun....the two Brooks' girls know how to party (taking pictures and talking about Daddy). I have an AWESOME Science Training at the Dallas Zoo the 24th. Stephanie will go stay with Miss Rebecca and I will go play, I mean learn science :) We even get a behind the scenes tour of the zoo!! awesome!

Then I'll make sure everything is set because family arrives the next day....YEA! I will have 5 adults and two kids at my house.....and one shower! Pray for us....it gets hot in Texas, we'll be stinky and showering will be important :) We have rehearsal Thursday, BBQ at the Koehlers Friday, Wedding Saturday, Family Brunch Sunday and then some relaxing fun the few days that follow. It will be a whirlwind and I CAN'T WAIT!!!

So that will be my super busy schedule. Things will calm down, I'll get the house back in order, get Stephanie back on a schedule, grocery shop, have some Mommy and Me time and then OUR DADDY WILL BE HOME!!!

That's right folks, our time apart is quickly coming to an end. I don't count days....I count events and we are quickly approaching the big one...him snuggling into bed with his girls. It's so close I can actually visualize it. Thank you all for your AMAZING support and for thinking of us! Your prayers and words of encouragement have made a difference :)

Once he is state-side I'll let you all know.....other than that I don't really know anything more than what I posted.....details are always minimal (both because they don't know and for security)......

Just know there will be ONE BIG PARTY! and you are ALL INVITED :)

Here is what the Brooks' girls have been up to the last few days (our first days of summer)
