August 2015

I have been wanting to update our blog for some time now but computer problems have prevented me from attaining my goal, thanks to Windows 10.  Keep your fingers crossed that this goes well!

August was pretty busy.  First of all, Scott and I both had really bad sinus infections the beginning of the month.  I was worried that my trip to Utah might get postponed and it did.  But I finally made it for Education Week, my first time going.  Although it was wonderful, I was still not feeling well and over exerted myself which put a damper on things.  But it was great to be in Utah and hang out at BYU for a week.
Nice lunch spot.

The campus was buzzing.
Ok, so I think I posted photos last year of my old stomping grounds in Heritage Halls.  They have been gradually tearing them all down and replacing them with new buildings which are beautiful.  However, my old home, Harris Hall was in the last group of four to be torn down and I was so happy to see at the beginning of the week that it was still there.  Three days later, on Thursday, I had lunch with one of my roommates from Harris Hall, Pam, and we walked over there to see it one last time.  Yep, you guessed it, GONE!
Just a pile of rubble....
Wish I had thought to take one last picture, but alas.....

Nice shot of the Law Building though!  Just for you, Scott!!

One of the perks of the week was staying with Dan and Nicole and getting some quality play time with Camden and Wesley!
Wesley is growing like crazy and is such a happy baby!

Camden is still the funnest ever!!
It is always nice to spend time with Dan and Nicole and I was also able to have dinner with Jared and Cate.  They are always so fun to talk to and it was nice to catch up with them.  They even insisted on going to Brick Oven even though neither one of them is crazy about that restaurant, which I kind of don't get, hehe.  You guys are awesome!

From Provo, I went to Turlock to attend the wedding of a friend's daughter.  It was great to be there and catch up with everyone from my old ward.  It was also great to see my family again and hang out with them for a couple of days. Wish I would have taken pictures while I was there!
This is Jayde (and Aunt Susan's legs). Sorry guys, I'll do better next time!

At the end of the month we went up to Prescott to celebrate Ashley's birthday.  We had a nice lunch with her and Jason and then we walked around town for a bit before heading back to her place for......
30th Anniversary cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory!! Super yummy choice, Ashley!
She opened gifts.....
And then we headed back down to the hot valley.  Thanks for the nice reprieve Ash!

I can't believe we're halfway through September.  This month has been a blur so far because all I have been doing is working on my stats class.  At least that's how it seems.  I took the 3rd exam this morning.  I now have one unit left and then I take the final.  I am hoping to take it in Provo while we are up there for Abbey's wedding.  Keep your fingers crossed.
"Just because" flowers from my husband that I couldn't resist posting because he is the best ever....

We're looking forward to being in Utah for Abbey's wedding!

Until then....
