Wife's Diary vs. Husband's Diary
Wife's Diary:
Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn't say much.
I asked him what was wrong; He said, 'Nothing.' I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it. On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving.
I can't explain his behavior I don't know why he didn't say, 'I love you, too.' When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep - I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster.

Husband's Diary:
Boat wouldn't start, can't figure it out

Well, I don’t know where the summer is going……. it is crazy and it seems I am super crazy busy, in a fun kinda way.

TODAY WE {the Lott’s}  BOOKED A CRUISE FOR US, MY PARENTS, MY TWO BROTHERS AND THIER WIVES. DO YOU SERIOUSLLY KNOW HOW MUCH FUN THIS WILL BE…..ESPECIALLY AFTER THE PAST 2 1/2 YEARS WITH CANCER AND ANURISMS. (picture me jumping up and down and screaming) I am so excited I can hardly stand it.

So lots has been going on. We spent 10 days in good ole Idaho. Did lots of crafting stuff. Spent tons of time with Ryan and Syd and loved every minute of it. This is some of the stuff we did……

I saved all the kids levis and cut them into 7 inch squares. Stacy and I sewed them up and then Ryan, Syd and I tied it. It turned out so cute. This one is Ryan and Syd’s and we are now working on Stacy and Derek’s.

So back in 1996 we bought a table and chairs and a hutch. It has been such a nice set, but it was white washed stain, so JP bought a rustoleum kit and re did it in black. It was a huge project, but he did such a good job and it is beautiful.

 

This was the before color. (the hutch is the next Idaho visit project}

   

We, as a family, decided to make all the kids 72 hour kits. It will be a slow process as we get stuff as we can afford it, but Ryan and I went to Army Surplus south of IF and got some cool stuff. We are making backpacks for everyone.

Went to the cabin with the R’s

Went on a drive to West Yellowstone and took pics of flowers and stuff…..

Lunch with my Family

We had a Pasley Reunion….but that will be Part 2 :}

So a Utah update. We found a home that we liked and made an offer. They accepted it. We were pretty excited. But the more we thought about it, and the more we looked at it we decided it wasn’t the home for us. We decided to wait for awhile, pay off some stuff and stay in our sweet little condo for awhile. I am relieved as it was a big worry for me. Hopefully some stuff will sell in Idaho.  I am happy. I am so excited about our family trip. soooooooo excited!
