Cover Boy

After Evan came home from Amsterdam he was interviewed on campus about his trip.  He made the front page of the law school's website.  Love ya dude- just wanted to brag!

Gone Again...

Evan just left for Arizona today, came home from New York a few days ago and he is off to California in week.  I hate interviewing season!  At least I can go to CA for a weekend to see the fam while Ev interviews.

Boys will be boys

As a last hurrah before school starts, we have been hanging out with friends, going out to eat, fires up the canyon, and camping! I know mom- I WENT CAMPING!  AF canyon was so busy that weekend that we had a hard time finding a spot, but I think the boys did well.  With a little landscape work, the spot was perfect!  

June/July

My hiatus is over; I needed a break from the blog world and I spent some time with friends and family and turned off my computer for a while.  Here is a quick update of the past couple of months- bear with me on the long post:

We moved- really I moved while Evan enjoyed Amsterdam!  I had everything packed and organized by room with color-coded labels. From the time the moving truck pulled up to the old house and the time it left the new, I am pretty sure that it was only 45 minutes!  Record time and everything was in the correct room so I didn't have to shuffle boxes everywhere.

To keep myself busy, I made a list of projects I wanted to do while Evan was gone.  I think I only finished 1/2 of them.  One I did finish was recovering our pillows on the couch.

My dad and little sis came up for a visit.  It was fun to see them and have someone else in the house since I was going crazy without Evan.

Evan was able to come home right before the 4th of July.  Which was probably best since the 4th is his all-time fav holiday! We went to the balloon festival at Provo High. It was so windy that only a few balloons went up, but it was still fun to walk around and watch them try to get some of the balloons up.

When Evan came home we went for a road trip to California and Arizona.  Ev was able to talk to a few different law firms about internships next summer.  We had so much fun with my family and with the Lesueurs. While we were in California we went to Sea World with my sisters and Evan's sister and her family.  

We were able to spend the 24th with good friends from the neighborhood.  We went up to watch fireworks behind campus.  From where we were sitting, we could see the Carrie Underwood show on the big screen.

It was a fast summer.  We have really one more weekend before school starts again so hopefully we can do something fun.

24 Hours and counting

We checked in for Ev's flight this morning.  Sad that he is leaving and that I am stuck packing our entire house (minus the few boxes that Evan packed last night of books) to move into the new TOWNHOME!

Bucket List

Since Evan leaves in less than 3 days, we decided a few weeks ago that we were going to fit the whole summer's activities in 2 weeks.  Sorry here is what we have been up to...

Two weeks ago (May 14th) we went up to Midway with some good friends to hang out for the night.  When we woke up Saturday morning, we were greeted from a moose!

On Saturday the 15th Evan and I went with the Barnes to a Real Salt Lake game.  We had awesome seats!  They ended up in a tie with the Mexico team but we still had a lot of fun.  

On Sunday we went for a drive to Salt Lake to the historic cemetery.  We had a fun time just walking around trying to find all the old prophets and their families.  It was just really peaceful and nice to walk and talk with one another.

Last weekend we just watched a few movies- can't really remember what- and hung out together.  On Sunday it was my birthday.  We went to a party for a friend on Sunday night and Monday we had a few friends over for ROOT BEER FLOAT cupcakes and ice cream.  It was really nice to see old friends again that will be moving on from Provo this summer.  

We went to Tucanos last night for dinner.  It was so yummy and a nice way to celebrate my birthday for the fourth day in a row!  I love weekend birthdays because they never end.

  

Left on our list before Saturday at 4 am- fly a dang kite, BBQ on Friday, packing, and last minute shopping for things Ev needs.  

Date Weekend

Ev and I went on a long weekend date a few weeks ago.  We started out on Friday with lunch at Paradise Bakery and then we went to see a movie, Date Night (don't really recommend, too crude for us). After the movie, we had time to kill before our dinner reservations, so we went and walked South Town Mall.  We bought a few shirts and just enjoyed walking around.  After the mall, we went and had dinner at La Caille. It was so good!  We had so much fun eating good food and being in such a beautiful restaurant.  Saturday we slept in, played tennis (I think, we play a lot so I am sure we did) and then went to see Sherlock Holmes.  It was a fun weekend together without cell phones and distractions.

On a happy note, Evan finished his first year of law school, completed the write-on for Law Review and has a few weeks left with me before he ships off to Amsterdam.  We are trying to fit in as much as we can before he leaves for the summer.
