My lack of time spent working on the blog is showing since it has been well over a month or two.. or three almost that I have not updated - but it has been a busy time.
In May we had a wedding, Daniel's sister Maegan got married so there were bridal showers, setting up for the wedding in and of itself, and then the actual wedding and reception. They are all married off now and getting their house put together - its surprising how slowly that comes together, I am still finding things I need in my house almost 2.5 years later!
In June my little brother Jared went through the Temple because he would be leaving about a month later on his mission. We also had another wedding, Daniel's brother Conlee got married, so that again was a busy weekend, and long. We traveled to Manti, then to Richfield, and then home again...
Daniel with his counsin Travis' little girl Morgan, she is a doll and a sweetheart - Daniel and I fight over her :)
July brings us to doing many things with our families, the 4th was spent in Richfield playing with the "cousins" Maren, Maddie, Brigham, Jake, Colton, Cassidy, Morgan.. and so on - Daniel found out that he quite enjoys playing poker.. with no actual money involved. While in Richfield he stayed up until 3 a.m. bidding against his uncles. Just this past weekend was Jared's "farewell" and he entered the MTC on Wednesday - he's going to be an awesome missionary, but I know that both Daniel and I are going to miss him!
Jared with our niece Reagan three nights before he entered the MTC - she was able to put a smile on his face!
The rest of the summer will be spent trying to figure out all that I need to get ready before school starts, I have done a lot already, but there is so much to do.. and a lot that you don't really know what to do until you've taught for a year and know what to expect - yay for the little (in this case, huge) learning experiences! Daniel has been working on building furniture (for others, and for my classroom - he's my handyman), and working many hours out to the Ridge Road Shop. We are planning a gettaway for this coming weekend because we haven't been able to go camping yet, pictures to come!
Hope everyone is enjoying their hot summer! Its starting to come to a close too soon!
