Summer

It has been a really great summer so far. Other than the fact that it is unbelievably hot it has been great. Being surrounded by such wonderful people plays a huge part of making life amazing and I have to say my life is pretty amazing. My wife, my in-laws, my family, and friends are just perfect.

My parents have “Pool Day” once a week and it is just amazing to me how many different people go over and hang out. Typically the party is still hopping by the time I get off work so I usually go over and hang out which is a great way to end the day.

I have really been enjoying my new job mostly because I am surrounded by great people. Typically you don’t go to work to make friends but I really think that I have made some great friends at my new job. I do miss working with my best friend which is my dad. Even though we don’t get to work together I am just so happy that we were able to for the time that we did. He is an amazing man and I have learned so much from him over the years. He is an inspiration and a role model.

My sister and brother in law purchased a boat and house at the lake which is awesome! I am so proud of everything that they have accomplished over the years. Their lake house rocks and the girls love it and love the lake. I wasn’t to surprised that Alivia loved it but I was however a little surprised about Elise. The only thing that she didn’t like was wearing the life jacket but it didn’t stop her from being in the lake the majority of the time that we were there.

We just recently took a trip to Las Vegas which was a blast. My wonderful wife wanted to plan something special for my 30^th birthday and she did just that. She invited my parents and a couple other great friends and we all had an amazing time!

Scot is getting closer and closer every day to being able to move into his new house. He should be in there by fall. Scot and I spent a couple days running wires and installing boxes so he can have music throughout his whole house and outside. It was a lot of work but it was actually a lot of fun, and not to mention we saved about $4,500. I just can’t wait to hear the final product.

Today was pretty much the last day of summer for the Giddens. Alivia started school today. It was a very proud yet sad moment for Ashley and myself. You never know how hard something is going to be until you are right in the middle of it. And let me tell you, it was tough!

This post was probably a little boring but it was just a summary of some of the things that have been happening this summer. Hopefully I can update this more often but I have found it’s quite difficult.
