Where Has the Time Gone?

Summer is almost over, I can't believe it! I start work at the school again on Monday. This summer has gone so fast and has been very busy.

Back in the beginning of June I went to Utah to help my sister find a wedding dress. Later in June we went on a triple date with some friends of ours. We went to dinner and then to Adventure Golf to play put-put and ride the go-carts. We ran into some other friends at Adventure Golf so they joined us on our now quadruple date. On the way home we got frozen yogurt. It is so fun to have other couples to hang out with!

The beginning of July was our spontaneous South Dakota trip. As soon as we got home from that trip we celebrated Lucas's 30th birthday. Since Lucas isn't too crazy about cake, I made him Peanut Butter Cup Bars. Reese's are his favorite candy, so he was very happy with this decision! As the chocolate on top was starting to harden, I wrote in it with a toothpick.

They were very rich, but very yummy! Later in July I went to Girls' Camp with church. I thought by moving to a new stake I wouldn't have to go to Girls' Camp anymore, but I was wrong! They asked me to go as the Level 2 leader. I was in charge of 43 girls, plus 12 youth leaders. It was a little crazy, but I had a lot of fun! It was nice to get to know the other leaders. I didn't know anyone before I went, except for a girl who I babysat when she was just a tiny baby! Now she is 13....I feel old! Haha!

The camp had chipmunks everywhere! They were very friendly, too. They would crawl up your leg if you let them! They were always trying to get in the tents and meal time was their favorite. I watched this little guy snatch a piece of lettuce that someone had dropped. He ran with it under the chair next to me and then munched on it.

After I got home from camp Lucas and I cleaned out all the bushes from our backyard. We have a much bigger yard now!

August brought another trip to Utah. We went to see Brooke graduate BYU and go to the temple.

Lucas and I, along with my parents, went to the Mt. Timpanogos Temple.

Brooke chose the Manti Temple for her endowment. Lucas and I had never been to that one, so we were very excited! It looks like a castle!

Tomorrow is Brooke and Greg's wedding in the Denver Temple. I can't believe it is here already! Time to spend the last weekend of summer break with all the out of town family!
