June Rotation

It's hard to believe that 1) this is our last rotation before we are married and 2) that in less than a month, we'll be able to hang out like normal people on a weekend instead of having 89 things to accomplish.  I can't wait to have a real "lazy Saturday" instead of just "slightly less productive Saturdays" as Parker loving jokes that that's how our weekends together have been when I try to make them relaxing. 
Our time together couldn't have gotten off to a better start.  Parker surprised me by taking me to a darling new jewelry store called Charmin Charlie.  I had heard about it a week ago from some teacher friends and mentioned it to Parker.  He was so sweet to remember.  It was worth all the frustration of driving an extra 45 minutes through rush hour to make it there.  Of course he didn't tell me where we were going a head of time because if he did, he knew I'm to practical to agree to traveling through Denver rush hour traffic in the opposite direction of our dinner plans.  So, when we pulled up to the store, I was thrilled!  The whole place is laid out by color.  It was really quite overwhelming at first.  Parker was very patient, and he helped me look for things.  We even grabbed the same necklace at the same time saying, "This would go perfect with your (my) green dress."  It was pretty crazy.  I guess we are starting to think alike... Here's what he treated me to:
Then we met our friends Kenzie and Josh in their cute neighborhood for dinner.  We walked to Snarfs for the Denver's best toasted sandwiches.  We loved seeing them and catching up, and can't wait to adventure together this next year.
In addition to the usual trip to the dentist for Parker and our premarriage counseling, we shopped for furniture, had quality time and coffee, walked around the neighborhood, enjoyed my back patio (before it got too hot), cooked lots of meals together, ate ice cream with gummy army men, mostly replaced Parker's cell phone (he has a 3 week loaner one and spent many hours on the phone with tech support), picked out perfume together, opened a few cards and gifts, and of course did some more wedding planning. 



We're both trying to enjoy these last few weeks, but I'm pretty sure that we agree that we can't WAIT to finally be together for perma!
