Blog Post Anyone?

Hello my long lost (few) followers of this desolate blog...it's me Ashley and I have come to update you on our very exciting life....and yes, that is sarcasm.

Let's start with the summer, shall we? Like I said, us Leavitt's are a really exciting crowd - all summer Nathan and I took summer classes. That's right, I said all summer. Nathan took Organic Chemistry - which was condensed to a 5 week course, (I don't recommend it for anyone) and I took a digital tools class and also a photography class, which was all film, not digital - I will have to scan in some of my favorites and expose them to the world wide web later. Luckily though, classes went from Monday to Thursday so we did get to some exciting things on the weekend. For one of the most hilarious events, it's best if you just read the Doss' blog on the weekend adventure in Cascade, where we went camping for the weekend. Here is the link: http://ajdossfamily.blogspot.com/2010/08/get-outta-town.html, trust me it's worth reading. Let me just give you a sneak preview.

If that doesn't peak your interest, then I don't know what will. Anyway, we also celebrated Nathan's 23rd birthday while visiting his family to welcome the newest nephew. Leann and Steve really produced quite the little cutie. They named him Brennan Lee, and it was a truly amazing experience getting to hold such a new baby, just recently heaven sent - what a blessing. Here is a picture of the little guy...

Another thing that we did this summer was float the Boise River - a lot! We even took little Duke with us, which was quite the event. You see, from previous blog posts you will come to find that he does not like taking a bath, so you can imagine the nervousness I would have when throwing him into the river. But to my dismay, he did really well, he was walking all around every ones rafts and just had a good time. There was one incident that got me a little worried though, I'd like to think it was the "motherly instinct" in me, but Nathan just thinks I'm a freak. We where going over a "rapid" which took us maybe an inch off the rest of the water and Duke lost his balance and fell out, I was freaking out and basically shoved Nathan out of the raft to go and save the dog, in the middle of the "rapid" mind you....Duke ended up being fine and he can swim turns out, but it still makes for a good story.

Last but not least we were able to welcome in another new addition to our little family, are you ready for this?

Tada! Nathan and I decided to invest in a new MacBook Pro - and it's AMAZING!!!!!!! Since I am studying Graphic Design in school and as students you get waaaay sweet discounts for the design programs, we decided that it was time to take the plunge from PC to Mac, and I must admit - it's not as bad as it seems.
