Might as well get it over with.

I obviously haven't blogged in over a month, Wow, I am ashamed. It's not even that I haven't had stuff to talk about, I've actually had too many things to talk about and haven't found the time to put everything down, and now that it's a month later, sadly I won't remember everything that has happened in the past month. Well, since the last post I will try to do little summaries of the things I remember.

-Memorial Day was awesome! We went boating with George and Heather and their family. It was so much fun, it was pretty chilly at first, around 60 degrees, then it probably cooled down to 70, by the end of the day. Here are only a few of the 100+ pictures that were taken. After we went to Utah Lake we met up with Brig and Michelle and the kids and went to see "The Lorax" at the dollar movie.

Ryan's brother Andrew came home from his mission and Ryan and some of his family were able to greet him at the airport.

Elder McCorristin

We had the first McCorristin Family Reunion up in Bear Lake, I added the 400+ photos to facebook, but I'll just add a few on the blog. It was a ton of fun and can't wait for more reunions to come!

We left the reunion early on Sunday to be able to spend some time with my side of the family because my brother Serge and his family were in town for a few days. Here's a few pics from the first night, I still haven't gotten the rest of the pictures from my brother's camera or Tam's camera because I forgot mine the second day, so I took pictures with other people's cameras :)

Serge and Sara

PILLOW FIGHTS!!!

Tate was the ultimate winner for the kids

We played Risk after and Ryan and I called it a tie because we were the last one's on the board.

Siblings, minus Jen

-Andrea had a baby shower!

Max FINALLY proposed to Bethany!!

We went to the Lehi Rodeo with a bunch of our friends and family! It was my first time going and it was a ton of fun! It was way hot, but a ton of fun!

The 4th of July was a lot of fun too! I didn't take any pictures but we spent it starting out at going to Rob's for Breakfast at 8am, we had marshmallow rolls, eggs and bacon. Then we went to Seven Peaks in the morning, with Ryan and I, Tam and her boys, Rob and her boys, and Brig and Shell and the kids. It was packed but still a ton of fun!! Afterwards we came back to our place and had pulled pork sandwiches and picnic stuff with Brig making homemade chocolate chip peanut butter ice cream. We had some fun relaxing, watching wipeout and Cool Pools and then Rob and the boys and Brig and the family left and we Bar-B-Q'd Hamburgers and Hot Dogs and red-boxed Man on a Ledge. The night was pretty chill and we didn't even go see fireworks, but I think we were all pretty pooped from the long day!

In regards to all the family things going on. Jennie is doing amazing down in California and has gotten amazing help! Rob and the boys and Tam and her boys will be driving down to Cali on July 12 to spend time down there for a week or so before Jen comes back! It has been great spending so much time with family and I'm glad that all of these things have brought us closer together. My brother-in-law Rob (Jennie's Husband) just found out that he has bladder cancer. (Yeah, when it rains, it pours) But they seemed to have found it early and he will have the tumor removed on Tuesday and then spend a few days recovering before the trip down to Cali. For any of you that read this, if you can keep them all in your prayers I would appreciate it. We feel blessed for all that we have and it's crazy to think that you may think it's hard one day, but it can definitely get worse. I'm so grateful for my amazing family. Ryan will be taking the day off on Tuesday to be able to take Rob to his surgery and everything. Hopefully they will be able to remove everything and he won't have to have further treatments.

In regards to Ryan and I, we are doing great! Our 3 year anniversary is coming up at the end of the month and I can't imagine my life without him! Work is going great for both of us!

 I've only been working 25 hours a week, but I'm loving it! My new department is a lot less stressful too! Actually, it's kind of crazy, but when I went part time I moved to Medical Records in my Case Management department (basically I send ALL medical records for my department, there are only 4 of us on the team) So because I moved to part time, I couldn't do my old job because it is a full-time job and requires you being there full time to do all that you need to. Anyway, they trained someone to take over my case load (my case load consists of about 700 clients all from NY, RI, VT, and GA. which I think I'm the only case load that has that many states, which makes it pretty difficult) anyways...so they trained someone to take over my case load so I would be able to move to Medical Records, well I had to train this girl on some specific job things and well, she only lasted a week and then quit. Yeah that sucks. So work had to spend even more time training another person, then when they were ready I trained the new guy. That guy only lasted 2 DAYS! then he quit. Wow. Pretty crazy huh? I feel horrible for my work that they keep losing people, but it kind of makes me feel good for doing that case load for over 8 months, and actually, before I took over that case load, there had been 3 different case managers over it within 4 months...Needless to say, the case load needs to be reduced otherwise people will keep quiting, so today they did split my old case load by reducing RI from it, so hopefully this next guy will acutally STAY! I will be training him and helping him with it tomorrow, I really hope he stays haha.

Work is awesome for Ryan too! He recently had a promotion in March and became OSS, which is basically someone that helps train and coach those who have to be on phones. Then recently they wanted to split his department and make them specifically into either Trainers or Coaches, anyways, Ryan interviewed for being a trainer because he really enjoys doing that, and he got the job! It has so many perks! Not only will he not have to work a holiday (because training classes won't ever happen on holidays) but his hours changed and we actually see each other again! Lately he has either been starting at 7am or 8am and then getting off by 4 or so!!! YaY! It's awesome! I'm very grateful for that because with all that's going on, I don't know what I would do with not seeing Ryan either.

Well, I think that's mainly it. The next few blog updates will all be able Bridal Showers and Weddings because 3 of my close friends are all getting married before October! Let the marriages begin!!!
