MOUNT RUSHMORE











































The last week of summer we went to Colorado for braces. We were sitting talking at Cosi's house when she mentioned that Mt. Rushmore was only 4 hours away, we decided to take advantage. We got quite a kick out of our spontaniety. It was fun! Me, Deb, Cosi, Lindsey, Katie, Ellie, Allie, Maddie and Jackson. Quite the crew!! PARTAY!! We stayed in a cozy little cabin in Custer and then went to Crazy Horse and Mt. Rushmore all day the next day. FUN TIMES.

Another pictureless post

So... not having my camera kind of sums up my life right now. We have been living out of suitcases all summer... it's weird not having all your "stuff" but it's been great too... life has been simpler in some ways. Debbie and Rob have been the most hospitable hosts around. We are just amazed with how wonderful they have been. Patient and kind in every way...

Hard to believe summer is coming to a close... only 2 weeks til school starts. We registered Lindsey and Katie today and they were THRILLED to find out that they have lunch and orchestra together and their lockers are right next to each other. Although they have a lot of stressful anticipation about school starting, they are glad to know they have each other at least! :) They are both working hard at cross country and we are proud of them!

Ellie has continued to play non-stop and has had the summer of her LIFE. She should be starting soccer soon . . .

Dave is LOVING, I mean SERIOUSLY LOVING his job. It is so great. My job is going really well too. I have to say my stress level at work went from 110% to about 5%. It's so nice. I love my schedule and my patients . . .

Matt is doing awesome still. Next month is his HUMP day. AMAZING. I seriously can't believe it. It gets me just a TITCH excited for this time next year. How great will that be?!?!?!

Next week we head to Colorado for the end of summer braces trip! We are looking forward to it... we get to see our new cousin/nephew Jackson Crane. :)

Some other exciting news is that we should close on our new house next week and then start painting/refinishing some floors and then MOVING in! Yea! We went to the new ward last week and it was GREAT! :) We are getting pretty excited. It will be nice to "settle down" a bit and get into a routine and let Deb/Rob have their house back!! :)

GOOD TIMES. GOOD TIMES.
Ciao!
