Running in the Rain

Hi again. Sorry it's been such a long time for the update on the fabulous Gillis family in Logan. As most the readers know, Juli (that's me) went into the hospital twice last month for an inflamed appendix and an infection. Well, all is well on that front. My body is still recovering, but I am doing great, thanx for asking. Now, the fun story...
Rob and I were unsure as to what to do together this evening. We got the movie Psycho from the library, so that was an idea. We thought about going for a hike, but I didn't really have enough energy for that. We considered playing a game, but I could tell that Rob really wanted to go outside (he likes to walk and hike). *Sidenote* for my birthday last year, a friend of mine, Amy (she works at the bookstore with me) gave me a token for a free scoop of Aggie Icecream. Well I hadn't used it, so I suggested to Rob that we walk to Aggie Icecream (it's only about four blocks away) and redeem the token. He was for that idea, so that is what we did. Well, if any of you watched Utah weather this night, you will know that it rained up here. It was threatening when we left home, but it was a beautiful evening. We were not worried. We went, got a scoop of strawberry icecream, discussed the etymology of the word strawberry, made shapes in the clouds, and enjoyed eachother's company. Soon enough, Rob said we should leave because he felt a rain drop. I reluctantly agreed (I was having fun). So we started to walk home. About halfway home, the heavens opened up, and the rains came pouring down. We had to run the rest of the way. Naturally, we got soaked. It was soooo much fun. I love getting stuck in the rain (pina coloda's, not so much).
Well, that's the story, and I'm sticking with it. Now I am going to enjoy the sound of the rain, and have a wonderful evening. I hope you do too.
