Entry 284: Lunch Surprise

Today Lance surprised Julie by stopping by her work and taking her out for lunch. We ended up going to TGI Fridays because it was the closest and most convenient place. Hopefully with Lance on break we can make this more of a tradition.

Entry 283: Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to Julie's mom and dad, Kent and Nancy, who are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary today.

Entry 282: Royals Game

It had been awhile since we have been to a Royals game, but luckily we had tickets for today. The Royals played the Tigers and won 7-2. It was a great game and wasn't even close because Jose Guillen hit a 3 run homer in the first for the Royals. Julie even got to see her favorite player Joakim Soria come into the game. The Royals have a new promotion where if you fill out 100 all star ballots with all Royals you get a t-shirt. Lance punched ballots throughout the game and ended up with 32 completed (only 68 to go for the free t-shirt).

Entry 281: Julie Gets The Boot

A few days ago Julie was playing with the dog and Bobby jumped up and knocked her down. We didn't think much of it until the next day when her ankle started swelling up. She was able to get into the doctors office today and she ended up getting the boot. The doctor thinks it is just a sprained ligament, but until the swelling goes down she gets to wear the boot. We'll know more in two weeks when Julie goes back.

Entry 280: Last Day Of School

Yesterday was Lance's last day of school. He completed his 17th year and after a few weeks we are sure he will be ready to go again. Every summer since we have been married we have given Lance's summer break a name. The first year was called Lance's Summer Of Love because that was the year we were married. The second year was Lance's Summer of House Love because he spent the entire summer doing things around the house. This year we have decided to deviate a little from the previous themes and have decided to call this summer: The Summer Of Bobby. We decided that Bobby loves Lance's summers off more than anyone because he doesn't have to go in his cage. So let the summer of Bobby commence.

Entry 279: Loose Park

Last Sunday Julie's mom and dad wanted to go to Loose Park and see the rose gardens. We didn't know this, but Kent and Nancy spent a lot of time walking through the park when they were first married. It was awesome being able to listen to them relive those memories and talk about how the park has changed. It was a great ending to a great weekend.

Entry 278: New Wall

This past weekend we ended up finally taking the paneling off of one of the living room walls and with the help of Julie's mom and dad we puttied everything and painted it. Another project that can be crossed off the list.
