Dear July,
Oh, hey! Kind of crept up on me. Can you believe it's been 6 months since our big move to TN? I love it. And I'm looking forward to see what a TN July is all about!
Dear Husband,
I'm glad you decided to stop being a man. Well, that's awkward. Let me try that again... I'm glad you're finally going back to the doctor. I promise he won't bite.
Dear Important Phone Calls,
Yeah, both of you. Happen.
Dear Bailee,
First Olive, now you? I bet if you both stopped eating spiders and junk in the yard you would feel better.
Could you turn it down a notch? I'd like to actually enjoy my time outside.
Dear Sims 3,
Because of you, I understand the bond between a guy and his games. I'm also glad I figured out how to get married without having to "woo hoo." It's totally possible.
Dear Summer,
I won't let the sun ruin our love for each other.
Dear Pool,
I need you. Stat.
Dear Mickey Mouse,
Can I please live with you and Minnie? I promise to feed and play with Pluto...

While drinking water is super healthy for you, no one tells you about the bajillion bathroom trips you have to make. Seriously, one bottle of water=6 bathroom visits. That makes life so difficult.
I've been growing my hair out for almost 2 years. I want loooong hair. I have never been so excited for my hair to get caught in my arm pit, or slammed in the car door, or pulled whenever I get hugged. Why? Because that means my hair has finally decided to grow.
I am way to excited about my Hulu routine. If you don't know of Hulu, I need to pray for you. Hulu is magical. You can watch (almost) any t.v. show online the day after it airs. Every Monday I watch Sunday's episode of "Once Upon a Time" (he's Pinocchio!) Every Wednesday I watch "snippets" of Tuesday's episodes "Glee" and "New Girl." I say snippets because there tends to be too much raunchiness/moral issues in some episodes. So I edit them myself. Then, Friday's I watch Thursday's episode of "The Office." If you can't tell, we don't have cable. People keep telling me more shows to check out, but clearly my schedule is packed.
Speaking of Glee, is it weird that I like Glee-versions of songs 99% more than the originals? I'm okay with it.
This week I started my cut-down-on-soda-and-drink-more-water-then-workout-an-hour-a-day routine. I'm so fat and out of shape that my soreness isn't even funny. I can't move my legs. At all. Which stinks because I have to get up every 20 minutes to use the bathroom. Who's idea was this again?
For about 3 days I thought I wanted to be a cosmetologist. I went to Aveda online and asked them to mail me some more information. I received a call about an hour later. I talked to a sweet girl from Aveda named Katie for a few minutes. She asked how long I've known that I wanted to be in cosmetology. I said, 3 days. For the next week and a half Katie from Aveda called me every day, 2 times a day. I stopped answering. I don't think I'm going to get anything in the mail.
On the topic of what I want to be when I grow up, I had a wonderful interview yesterday followed by an observation scheduled for tomorrow. I'm going back to where it all started, Pre-School. A teaching position opened up recently and so far things are lining up perfectly! Hello full-time, year-round teaching! It's been a while!
I'm hoping this summer brings: long(er) hair, Disney World, weight-loss, that one ring I'm in love with from c28.com (ehem...Husband), bigger paychecks, family road trips, pizza, steaks, tan lines, a hedgehog, pigs in a blanket, weddings, internet at the house, and many more happies.
Last time, I left you with my favorite version of Goyte's "Somebody That I Used to Know." I think I lied, because this is totally my favorite version. P.S. I met Kevin, the "percussionist!" Sweetest guy!
Dear 2 random black hairs that grow on my arm,
I'm sorry my Husband can't accept us and pulls you out every time you grow back. Hang in there, guys.
Dear Summer,
I am a-ok with your arrival, BUT I need a few things first. A pool, new bathing suit, new bathing suit body, and a source of income. Kthanks.
Dear Summer source of income,
Please show yourself. I need you. Like, really really need you. Especially if I'm going to get any of the above needed things for Summer.
Dear Jared's Jewelers,
Please make things easy for us. Yes, I lost a diamond, but let's not dwell on that and let's be quick on fixing it! (P.S. we found the little booger, but it will still take 2-3 months for fixing. Lame.)
Dear creepy guys,
Just because I can't wear my wedding rings (see above message) doesn't mean you can or should look at me like you anywhere near my type of guy. Unless you're 6"2', freckled, black hair and beard, and go by the name of Brandon Kyle Crews, you are not my type. Sorry, not sorry.
Being sick all week caused me to wake up Sunday morning with no voice. It wouldn't have been such a big deal, except that I teach Children's Church and we happened to be FULL with 9 kids and myself. So it's easy to understand why I wanted to cry when I saw this handsome man walking down the hall to help me. So what do you do with a class full of kids and no voice? Play-Doh of course!
Love these precious kids! Thanks for your help, Husband!

Dear Summer,
You came and left way too fast. Teacher work week in 2 weeks? Yuck.
Dear Running,
Take it easy on me! I've been fat and lazy for way too long!
Dear Shins,
Quit hating me while I run.
Dear "New" Car,
Please make everything work out so I can get you.
We made it! A whole week without internet! It was relaxing, I admit. But, I was constantly writing down funny things that happened so I would remember to blog about them! Nerd.
Funny story #1 (like I said, there will be many more "funny stories") I woke up this morning hearing voices. Not in my head, but outside. I woke up husband and made him go look. It was our internet people! Yay! Then, a couple minutes later, they drove away. Not once did they knock on the door. Not once did they say anything to us! Thank goodness I have a smart husband who decided to plug in the router just to see what happens. And viola! Internet! So, thanks people...but no thanks! We decided they must be some kind of hit and run type of company.
What's the first thing the Crews' do when internet is back in our lives? Wife is curled up on the couch with the little furbabies, blogging. Husband is 2 feet away from the tv screen, xboxing it up.
We're an exciting bunch.
