I wish I had a million dollars to pay for our basement improvements. I know there will be blessings in having the LDS missionaries living with us. I am just not excited about spending money when we could be saving money. Oh, well. Let Go and Let God.

Dara, her friend Sierra, and I spent a couple of hours at the Waconia Beach yesterday. I got a bit burned. It was my first time in a swimsuit this summer. But it was a beautiful day and I got a lot of reading done.

The kids and I are going to Utah in August. Should be very interesting. I am driving...with the kids...so adventurous.
