The kids in us...

Poor poor Chrish, dreaming of conversions and molecules and...Michelle.

The Smith family Robinsons and below is me and Leslie. We're the interior designers of the finished project. I really hope she doesn't go anywhere too far for college in a year...she's my homie. This first picture is a real life photo of Christian asleep on his chemistry book. My poor buddy has been swamped with work and school. He's going to BYU full time doing a summer semester that is super intense AND working as much as possible. Most of the time when we are home he's studying or doing hours and hours of homework. Today he needed to study for a chemistry test and about 4 minutes into it I look over and he's dead asleep. He's the busiest person I know (along with Shelby) getting up at 5 am to get to work and going to bed after 12am most nights. Luckily for me he still finds time to hang out with his best bud Titan. (ok really it's me...and Titan) Anyway the other day we were hanging out at his parents house and they have huge Elm trees! In one of the trees there was an old tree fort that had been there for years. Christian was up in the fort goofing around when one of his feet almost went right through the floor. So we started kicking the old wood apart till the whole thing fell at least 20 feet to the ground. This sparked an idea that we should build up a new one! So we got all the kids together and went around to construction sites collecting wood from the dumpsters. We have now made a few trips to Lowes and Home Depot and are starting to put it together. It's so fun to be able to act like kids again, playing in his back yard just like we did in the 9th grade. Christian and his brother think this treehouse is going be three levels high...we'll see. It is one of the biggest trees ever. I'll post pictures of the final project. I just think it's so important to have balance in life. When you're working, work. When you're playing play. And make room for both!

Hey Michelle! Thanks so much for well....you know what. Everything seems to be going great so far and it was way easier than I thought :)
It looks like you having a lot of fun building your treehouse. Good luck, I hope it grows to be three stories. Oh, and thanks for shopping at the Depot! Just kidding!

Lets have a party in your new tree house. What a fun project. I can't believe how busy Christian is, that is crazy. Can't wait to see the finished tree house. Have a fun rest of the summer.
