Happy is as Happy does

Life is good. School's out for the summer and Grandma is doing a lot better (after losing 30 pounds of water weight). I'm still cooking for her, but she doesn't need as much help as she has had these past few months. I love learning how to make new meals and inviting people over to share it with us. It's been a great way to get to know and make new friends. This past month I've worked on a couple different projects that have made me very excited. The first is I scrapbooked. That always makes me happy, especially to watch TV shows and movies while I do it. The main project I've been working on is upgrading my basement. That's the best way to put it. Although this sounds a little tacky, with the help of my friends, I hung up sheets and curtains on the unfinished walls and put up paper on one wall. I'm planning to get a new TV with my bonus as well as pictures to hang on the walls to make it a very home-y place. After that, I will have movie nights or whatever. Since Grandma doesn't sleep in her room anymore, I can do that and the noise won't bother her.

With my bonus and summer pay (yay!), I'm planning to buy some things I've been needing/wanting for a while. Today I bought a new swimsuit. :) Tomorrow I'm thinking to get the next season of Chuck that I don't own yet.

This summer I'm planning to go on lots of hikes and go to lots of plays. I only realized recently how much I enjoy going to plays, even by myself. I made a page long list of all the plays that are going on and I know I'm missing some.

The thing I am most excited about is my sister is coming to BYU this summer! It will be awesome to have my sister nearby at last! It's only hard to believe that she is starting college.... Man, do I feel old.

Overall, I'm happy... and that is the best feeling ever.
