Yesterday we got to break the pool in for the season! Griffin and I actually went in it in the morning and again after dinner. The water is crystal clear and at a perfect 76 degrees. Happiness!!

Unfortunately there was no swimming for me today. I spent most of the day in bed with another migraine. Unhappiness! It seems like the migraine situation is just getting worse for me. I keep hoping that it's going to get better, and when I have a couple of weeks without any headaches, I start to get hopeful. Then ultimately, I'm let down again. It's so frustrating. I have put off any more IVF until I felt more in control of the migraines and my health, but it seems like I'm fighting a losing battle. Anyway, I'm feeling better right now. Of course, I did take a percocet since not much else was working. Hopefully that was enough to break it and I'm praying that it's not back in the morning.

So here's some pictures from my nephews wedding:

I can't even count how many posts I've started, but didn't finish over that last 2 months. Then tonight it dawned on me that I need to write something- it's been 2 months! I'm not going to write a long drawn out post about every-single-thing that's happened in the last 2 months. Obviously, we've been really busy around here.

This weekend I actually had both Saturday and Sunday off. It's been a while since I've had a whole weekend. Work has been busy and I've put in a good amount of overtime hours. I'm not complaining though. The money is good and we've had a lot of uses for it this summer. Yesterday, the installers came and put the new liner in our pool- tomorrow all the water will be delivered!! So by mid week, we should be swimming in it. I can't even express how completely happy I am that it's finally done and fixed. Now, let's keep our fingers crossed that we get more than one year out of it this time!

Last night, my nephew Matt got married. Seriously, when did my nieces and nephews get old enough to get married? It's such an odd thought, and it really makes me feel old. It was a nice wedding and I had a really good time. It's always nice anyway when the whole family can get together. Now that everyone is getting older and having families of their own, getting together has gotten scarce. We joked last night that at least we know this year we'll see each other 3 times- the wedding, Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Today, I decided to have a bit of a mother-son day and take Griffin for the first time to the movie theater. With all the overtime that I've been working, most of the responsibility for Griffin has fallen to Ryan, so he needed a bit of a break. We took off this morning and ran some errands, then we picked up Ryan's niece and nephew, Lucy and Bryce. My plan was to take them for lunch and then go to the movies. We ended up being almost an hour early, so we checked out 5 Below. BIG MISTAKE!! LOL! Of course the place is loaded with crap that kids beg for, right?! I'm such a sucker and can not say no to buying them each a $5 something.

We finally made it to the movies, and watched Cars 2. Griffin did ok for his first movie theater experience. He may not yet be completely ready to sit through a whole movie and be quiet. Thank God the movie was loud and people couldn't hear him. There was only one incident when he wanted to talk to Bryce in the middle of the movie, and the more that I told him to sit down, the louder he got! A little threatening on my part, and it was all under control rather quickly though. Overall, it was a fun day, and I think that all the kids enjoyed it. That's all that matters.
