Eli is on his last antelope hunt of the season right now in WY and should be home sometime around Oct. 13 ish. He has had a great season and taken some gorgeous bucks. I know he is loving what he does but I also know he is missing home and his baby boy bad right now, so pray for a successful/fun/yet speedy trip home stat. ;)
I am no longer at USAA. Currently I am still finishing up massage school at SWIHA and should be done with that in the next couple months. After that I will be working with some great ladies that I actually went to HS with at a Salon/Spa in downtown Phoenix. Check it out on facebook: The Roose Parlour and Spa. I'm very excited at the possibilities of the future. Also, I was recently offered to come in part time at a Chiropractor's office in N. Scottsdale as a massage therapist independent contractor. I'm waiting to hear from the Chiro right now on what hours he is looking for, but absolutely considering the extra income and the experience. Other than that I am spending lots of time with Gunner man. It's truly been a blessing to be home with him and watch him learn and grow every day. To keep us occupied in Daddy's absence we've been doing all kinds of fun things all over the valley. He loves to look at all the fishes at the SEA LIFE Aquarium at AZ Mills, chase the birds and ducks at the park up here in Anthem, go to the movies (Cars 2 and Kung Fu Panda 2 were a BIG hit with him), go to the Zoo (we got a free annual membership from my mom, Cheryl, so we're taking advantage of it!), stay in the AC with mommy and watch movies or color, or just take a drive a few miles up north and look at all the pretty scenery then enjoy some pie at Rock Springs Cafe. It's been a long, whirlwind of a summer and we're happy that it's winding down. The fall is our favorite time of year in the Grimmett house. Eli's home, the weather cools down (ok not yet but it has to eventually, right?!), Holidays with the family, Christmas tree decorating, putting up our stockings, black friday shopping at the Outlets (which are literally across the street - very dangerous), and so so much more! Also, my annual "mommy-cation" is coming up in just 3.5 short weeks! I'm flying out to NC at the end of October to visit my best friend, Kim, who is in the Army and stationed at Ft. Bragg. I don't know what fun she has in store for me but it's always guaranteed to be an adventure when the 2 of us get together. From there I will fly to CA to visit my other best friend, Erica, who's hubby is in the Air Force and is a recruiter in LA. We took advantage of her military discount and got 3 day park hoppers for Disneyland/California Adventure land for crazy cheap. I'm so blessed to be able to go visit them and take some time off from the day to day. I'm ever so grateful to have a husband that loves me enough to give me some well deserved "me time" at the end of every antelope season.
Well, that's it for now. I'll do my very best to get on here more often throughout the fall and share some more pics/stories with you all. All of our love to all of you and yours.
