Recent Happenings...

Hello all of my five faithful readers - this update is for you. Not much has been happening lately, we had a small change of events for the summer where Nathan has got a job as the "dreaded summer salesman," but really it isn't that bad. We are at an undisclosed location for an undisclosed amount of time, and we are here with lots of Nathan's family - so it has been a lot of fun for us. We brought our trusty companion Duke with, largely for my own entertainment, since I find myself constantly bored.

As of late this is what has been happening depicted in a few random photographs...

First, way back in April - Duke turned 2! He got a new toy and I made him a peanut butter cake, dog friendly of course...

Next, for Mother's Day I made my mom some awesome polaroid magnets, which is basically copied the idea from this website, and mom loved them! It was a really great simple project.

Within the first week I was here (my secret undisclosed location that is), I went to a Taylor Swift concert with another girl that is out here working with her husband and the company - and it just so happens that we are in the same ward back home...small world, I know. It was awesome!!!

After a few days of being bored, I headed to the grand state of North Carolina to visit my sister-in-law, Amber and her family. She has twin boys, and they were a hoot. Take a look...I took these pictures in the car (Collin was really thrilled...)while Amber and I took turns shopping.

Meet Collin and Grant, age 3 1/2 - they are feisty little guys, but they were so much fun to hang out with while I was there.

Speaking of shopping, I have to tell you of the little adventure we had in North Carolina while we were on our way to a little shopping venture. So here is the story, we are getting in the car and I look down the road and I see a shredded tire, or what I thought it was...nope - this is what it really was....
a SNAKE! It was just slithering across the road, it was crazy and at least four feet long. So we watch it cross the road and get along our merry little way and then...a vulture flies down and picks up a squirrel, right in the middle of road! It was a wild, morbid morning, but we survived.

Also, Nathan had been studying his little bum off for the Dental Admissions Test (DAT), which we were both nervous about. He ended up taking the test and did really well (all that worrying for nothing), now we just have to apply for school and get on with this whole dental school thing.

Last but not least, we celebrated our 2nd anniversary on June 25th - it was so exciting. We went to eat at the Cheesecake Factory...yum. It was so romantic, and we had lots of fun. The end.
