the crazy continues

although the traveling is over the whirlwind of 'life' goes on. among work, we squeezed in a ward party, errands, and a camping trip this weekend. woah- camping? yeah, we got a tent two YEARS ago right after we got married, and this weekend- the weekend of our anniversary- we finally put it to good use. i think joe was a little surprised with how well i did while 'roughing it'. it had been an extremely hot day but a coming storm and being up in the mountains made the weather perfect. thanks to lindsay for being a champ and watching claire for us!

as ive mentioned a few times, my little brother is leaving for his mission tomorrow. can hardly believe the time is finally here, and im sure he will be coming home before we know it. if you are interested, you can follow his journey here.

can hardly believe that school starts next week- is summer really over? i don't think i am ready for fall just yet! i know a lot of people are ready for fall, but i haven't quite gotten my fill just yet. i am a HOT weather kind of girl. although i might be *slightly* excited for some really good football games...

have i mentioned what today is? just a little anniversary for my love and me. when visiting home a couple weeks ago and helped throw a reception for my friend, we commented several times about how so much has happened in the last couple of years it seems like its been so much longer, but at the same time its gone by so quickly. either way, i really, really love my hubby. i love where we are and can't wait to see what the future brings.
