7/28/16: Yesterday Josh worked and I stayed home. I cleaned and organized. Cleaned out my filing cabinet, one drawer is completely empty now and the other is more organized. Cleaned out the bottom drawer of the microwave stand. Put things aside from the coat/shoe closet that I want to get donate. I felt very accomplished doing all the things. I even cleaned the toilet and bathtub! :)

7/25/16: Josh went to his place to go through stuff and pack/bring over to my place. He moved his couch, bed, dresser into his storage.

7/26/16: Josh went to go see his son and get some stuff for him for school. We then went to his place to grab the last load of things. Filled the car up, he gave back the key. And it got real. ha :) we then went out for a couple drinks and ended the night at home, our home.

7/27/16: It's real, Josh and I live together. We still need to organize his things with my things, but we are doing it together. I am very happy about it. Though it would be a nicer if we weren't sick...I caught something on the way back from the lake and then he caught it from me. Clorox wiping everything down and taking meds. We'll be ok soon enough and be able to enjoy each other better.

7/21/16: Thursday I finished up rounding things up for our trip over the weekend. Ben dropped the kids off while I was doing some laundry at the laundromat (the washer/dryer in my building do not work well). Got everything cleaned in just an hour and a half! We then grabbed Josh from work and came home.

7/22/16: Nomi and I ran a couple errands and grabbed some lunch for the family before we headed out. Josh got the oil changed in the car and then we were on the road to Golden, MO. Table Rock Lake weekend! When we got to town we checked and settled into our hotel room. grabbed a snack and then headed to Josh's grandparents' house. The kids met the grandparents, Josh's dad, and his aunt. We all then went and had a dip in Table Rock Lake, which was warm, before heading back to the hotel for dinner and bedtime.

7/23/16: After waking up we all got ready to head to Roaring River. We hiked up and down, got all sorts of sweaty. Changed into our swimsuits and walked down the river. The water was so much colder than the lake water. I caught a fish. Nomi and I both caught tadpoles. Brodie was swimming so well and had his goggles so he was able to see the fish underwater. We then went back to the hotel, cleaned up, ate, and then went to the grandparents again. The kids got into the lake with Josh's dad, Vince. We then went back to the hotel for dinner and bedtime.

7/24/16: Sunday we woke up early, washed up, loaded the car and went to the grandparents house one last time. One the way there Nomi was saying how she wanted to come back. We just hung out at the grandparents house before heading back home. We did stop in Cassville for lunch and then hit the road home. The kids slept on & off for a little bit. We asked the their favorite thing about the trip... "TABLE ROCK LAKE" :) They had a great time and we did too!

7/20/16: I got some unexpected good news about my raise and it made me very happy. :)

7/15/16: Friday we went to dinner and then went to catch some Pokemon on the Independence Square. We = Josh & I.

7/16/16: Saturday Josh wasn't feeling too well. But we were able to make it to Super Flea and started a series (already finished as well) Stranger Things. We then went to see our friend Laremey, had a couple drinks, then went home and chilled out.

7/17/16: Sunday my friend Mark had an extra ticket to Buzz Beachball and asked me if I wanted to go. It was a fun time, saw some great bands and got to hang out in VIP (free food & drinks & A/C). It was a fun time.

7/18/16: Monday Josh and I went to see the new Ghostbusters. Was funnier than I expected, I enjoyed it.

7/19/16: Josh and I went grocery shopping for the weekend trip to Table Rock so we weren't eating out the whole time. We also got the kids watershoes so they didn't hurt their feet on any of the rocks at the lake.

7/14/16: I baked my first salmon last night. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but it turned out pretty well! I made that and a pasta salad with shrimp. It was all pretty tasty.

7/13/16: I hung out with my friend Megan whom I haven't seen in awhile. We went to see 'Lights Out', I had two free passes so she was my date. Creepy movie but great company!

7/12/16: After I picked the kids up from their Nana, we went to dinner -- IHOP! They were pretty excited about that. Then we went to Wal-Mart to get life jackets and beach towels. Then after the kids went to bed and I finished my movie, I went in their room to snuggle with Naomi and go to sleep as well. It was a nice night with my kids that I needed.

7/11/16: After the kids' Nana picked them up, I took a much needed nap and then Josh & grabbed some BBQ. We ate at the Liberty Memorial which was teaming with Pokemon! Caught a few new ones there. There were also a ton of people who were chasing the Pokemon. It was awesome.

7/8/16: So the kids were picked up early by their dad and he had them over the weekend. Friday night after Josh got off work we went to dinner and then drinks after. I also downloaded Pokemon Go to play along with Josh and the kids.

7/9/16: Saturday Josh and I went to Local Pig for lunch and we also got some smoked honey and bone marrow butter! I made pork chops and pasta salad for dinner and it was delicious.

7/10/16: I picked the kids up from their dad's, saw their new kitten, and then we watched a couple hours of InuYasha on Netflix. We then picked Josh up from work and came home/went to bed.

7/7/16: The kids and I watched a lot of My Little Pony yesterday. It's one of Naomi's favorite shows and Brodie doesn't really mind too much. There was one episode where two donkey's were getting married and it brought everyone in Ponyville together. It was very sweet.

7/6/16: The kids came home! Gah I missed them SO much!! We watched movies and ordered pizza. They told me about what they did at their grandparents and the new kitten at their dad's.

7/5/16: I received all positive notes on a customer survey at work and received a half day PTO to use whenever!

6/30/16: I facetime'd with the kids and it made me very happy to see and talk to them.

7/1/16: Friday I had a doctor's appointment (everything is ok) and the day off. I slept most of the day. That night we (Josh & I) danced in his driveway.

7/2/16: Saturday it rained a ton. We got pho to go. Got home and got cozy.

7/3/16: After Josh got off work we came back to my place, had a couple beers, then went to bed. It

7/4/16: Independence Day! We (Josh & I) watched the fireworks from Liberty Memorial. We could see them all across the city, it was really neat.
