Visual catch up

These last two weeks have been crazy busy.  Since starting school and work I have had little free time.  Now I have much more respect for students who also work.  It's hard stuff.   I know from personal experience.  Speaking of which, I am studying for my stats test right now before I run to work in twenty minutes.  I'm taking a little break so I'm blogging with pictures of some stuff that has happened in the past two weeks.
Last weekend Rachel and I went up to Park City with Patrick to try and get a bed from Jim and Elinors house.  We couldn't fit the bed but we found some old clothes, which as you can tell, are a little too small.  Patrick, however, did give us some of his old clothes....and yes, we have been wearing them.  Thanks, Pat.

The Wood Hollow fire started up and spread rather quickly through Sanpete county.  Thankfully it has yet to reach Spring City.

The drive down to Spring City will not look the same again.  Too bad too because that is the prettiest stretch of the drive.

Mary is taking an Arabic class down here this summer so not only do we get to see her but we gained another roommate!  We had to initiate her by making her try Graham Canyon ice cream.  Pretty good BYU initiation, right?

My 3rd home right now after my real house down here and work.

The sky was so beautiful last night when we left the library.  
Nighttime is pretty much the only bearable thing during summer.

With 6 fires blazing through the state ash is caking our lungs.  If it rains soon our cars might be covered in sludge because of the ash that has taken up residence on our cars.

Happy Father's Day!

dad's favorite

These two quotes eloquently express some of my feelings for my wonderful dad-

"My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me."
-Jim Valvano

"He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it."
-Clarence Budington Kelland




Happy Father's Day to the greatest dad in the world!
I love you!

Good weekend

After my first day of work on Friday I went with my University Villa ward on their campout.  I only took about 3 pictures so I'm sharing one of our service project - helping clean twigs and trees up from our hosts yard.
While I was with my ward I missed seeing this little heartbreaker-
Henry - picture sent by Rachel via iPhone
Saturday Cara was in town on a layover and I got to hang out with her!

Last night Rachel, Brooke, and I hosted a Sunday Soiree (or dessert party) at mine and Rachel's house. We had a great turnout but overdid it on the desserts.  We have about 40 cupcakes, 3 dozen cookies, a pan of brownies, a bowl of lemon drops, a sheet of rice krispies, and about 2 dozen popcorn balls left.  Good thing we have freezer space.
