...is hot. Seriously. We are closer to the sun and I can tell. Yes it is a dry heat, and all that, but it has still been pretty rough. We just broke a record for having 20 straight days over 90 degrees. I actually think it was the first time that has ever happened in Denver since weather has been tracked. Yes, I know, the Phoenix valley has had that many days over 110 degrees, but this is Denver where it shouldn't be this hot especially because we don't have A/C. Everyone told us it would be fine and no big deal - "no one has it, not even restaurants and businesses downtown" they all said. Well....
Besides that Derek and I have had a busy week. Derek doing Derek things and Melissa doing Melissa things. I started volunteering at Doctor's Care this week since I felt I was already too committed with other things to commit to an internship there as well. I am tentatively thinking about taking the winter quarter off from school which will allow me more time to do other things while Derek catches up in classes.
Becky and Phil (Derek's parents), Heather and Jason and Eli and Anna Rose (sister in law and family) are heading out here on Tuesday and we are super pumped about it. Seriously pumped! I can't wait to see our niece and nephew again. After they leave the Krolls will be in town, and we are planning on going white water rafting with them next Sunday. And then....yep, and then, my mom, Jimmy, and hopefully Jenna too, will be passing through to stay and play for two nights and a day on their way to MN. My mom is moving there which is very exciting. Our cousin Steven has also just returned from Iraq and so there will be a par-tay for him. Of course I was invited to ride along! How can you even entertain the thought that they would not want me to come along. They do!!!!! I am still toying with the idea, but really feel like the timing is just too bad.
Can you believe our two year anniversary is in two weeks? Two years as Mrs. Eli! Besides that we are just truckin along. Truckin. You heard me! We have thoroughly been enjoying the summer nights and taking advantage of them with bike rides.
