Ryan and I are officially moving out. We were apartment scouting and found an apartment that we couldn't pass up. It was a great deal. It is a 2 story apartment, fireplace, patio, lots of storage, sauna, racquet ball, tennis, indoor pool, outdoor pool, exercise room, and washer and dryer in our apartment! It's in a great location. It's in Burnsville which is near the zoo. There is tons of shopping and food nearby. There is a mall a block away with Vanity in there, so I may transfer at some point. We get the keys on Sat. so Ryan is going to go in while I'm at work and paint. We are going to add some color to the boring white walls. It's just time that we get out on our own again. It's been great living with his parents, but it was originally going to be 3 months, which turned into 6, which turned into 9. We are only 40 min. from them, which will be nice.

I'm going to be an auntie! Rachel, Ryan's sister, is pregnant. More reason why we want to stick in the Twin Cities.

-This week my dad came to visit. It was a quick trip, but it was still really nice. On Thursday he came to the zoo and got to see me do two dolphin shows and get a behind the scenes tour. I always love when people I love can visit and experience a little bit of what I love so much.
-Ryan and I had our four year anniversary on Thursday. We had a barbeque with the family to celebrate our anniversary along with Rachel and Matthew’s. Ryan and I are celebrating on Wednesday…he won’t tell me where we are going.
-I had to work until 1:30 am this morning, so I’m pretty beat. Our Vanity store moved locations, so we spent from 6pm-1:30 am moving the whole store. One wall of merchandise needed to be finished and then the registered moved down, but the head people were going back at 7 this morning to do that before our 10:00 opening.

Rio and Baby. How cute!

Tuesday was very refreshing for me. Whole day off...what to do? Well, I only slept until 8:30, which wasn't really sleeping in, but I had plenty of sleep for the night. Then I watched some Dawson's Creek, laid in the sun a bit, watched more t.v., took a nap with the kitty, stamped a lot, then went out on the boat with Ryan and his dad. My chin has the battle scars to prove it. Ryan and I were tubing and I punched my chin three times when we went over some waves. And, wow, did my muscles hurt the next two days.

I also got to SCUBA dive with the calf two times now. Last week Robyn and I went in together. It was the first time two divers were in the pool together since the calf was born. Then I went in again yesterday with Heather. Rio brought the calf near a few times. I can't even tell you how cool it is to look up and see a month old dolphin staring at you underwater. I am very blessed.
