Another Quick Recap

I made my last trip to the Des Moines airport yesterday and sent our last summer visitor back to California (unless someone is planning to surprise us with a last minute trip!) . My dad came to see us for a few days and it was really nice- we had not see him for almost a year. We didn't do a whole lot which was just fine. It was nice to just be together and enjoy the company.




We haven't been up to much lately besides spending time with our visitors. Rob and I made it to one of the three movies we wanted to see this summer, Star Trek (this was several weeks ago). We missed Wolverine but we WILL make it to Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. We are going to get a babysitter for Rex and both go. Rex has not been left with anyone (other than grandparents) since I quit working so we'll see how it goes. I think he'll do fine for just 2-3 hours. Let's see, what else have we been up to? Ah. Rex and I did a little shopping in Des Moines yesterday after our trip to the airport. I got a new external hard drive at the Apple Store. Lame, but I am totally excited. We picked up a few other things but if you can believe it, those were even more lame than the hard drive so I will skip that.


It rained last night and today but it had not rained for about 10 days before that. I have to share this picture though of the previous storm. Nothing too shocking except this was taken at 9:00 A.M.!!!



The sky got sooo black. It was so dark and eerie- it totally creeped me out. Rob was at work during this and I was really wishing he was at home. As it turned out, the storm passed pretty quickly and was not too bad really. I have more to share about Rex has been up to lately but I will save that for the next post!
