pool, plans, and a proposal

Nick and I had a great weekend! Very relaxing and quiet. We spent most of the day Sunday at the Easters(my sister in laws parents) pool. It was so nice to just lay out on a raft in the pool and read my book and of course stare at my gorgeous husband : )

WE spent a lot of time talking this weekend too and came up with our life plan for kids, work, school, etc. Now of course life doens't always go as planned..but for now we seem like we have it all figuired out.
I have made the desicion that I am goint back to school in the fall to get a Business/Human Resources degree. Which ties in to our plan because our 3-5 year goal is for us to Franchise Dominos stores. Nick will ultimately run the stores and I will handle all of the finances, human resources, payroll, etc. I am really excited about this! My dad worked for Dominos for over 25 years and made quite a good living at it, so obviously I am quite fond of the company. I also know a few people here in North Carolina who franchise stores and I see how much they enjoy it and how successful they are so it really gives us hope that we will do great at it. Also, my brother is going in to the same business. I guess us Soignet's just really love Dominos = ]


This weekend we are headed back to Topsail and I can hardly wait. I am half tempted to go tomorrow...I miss my parents so much. I feel like it has been so long since I haev seen them, and it has only been two weeks. I can't even imagince how hard it is going to be when they go back to Michigan int he fall and I don't see them for months at a time! I am really excited too because my Aunt Simone and her kids are going to be at the beach this weekend too. I haven't seen them since we were in New Orleans for Mardi Gras this year.

And probably the most exciting part of my weekend was getting a call from my best friend, Rachael on Sunday evening telling me that she is engaged!!!!!!! Her, now fiance, Scott proposed to her at a park near her house with a new puppy that had her ring tied around its neck. I had tears in my eyes as she was telling me this. I am just so incredibly happy for her and Scott. They make such a great couple and I can't wait to see what kind of wonderful wedding she plans! And even better...I get to see her in a few weeks when Nick and I drive back to Michigan for his sisters wedding.

I guess that is all for now. I can not believe how fast this summer is going by. But luckily we live in the south now so even when summer technically ends..its still warm here!!!!
