Finally!

So, finally a new post. I suck at this. But oh well. Here's the update:

So, a month ago, Ben & I moved into a new apartment. THANK GOSH! We love this place. Even though it's not THAT much bigger, it's got more closet space, so things are actually put away! AND it had air conditioner - which ROCKS! Plus, I'm not longer the designated "dishwasher" - only the "dish putter in the dishwasher." I would put up pictures, but I haven't decorated due to a lack of understanding between me and the level. I think that has been resolved, so once I have some time and patience, I will put up our decor and take some pictures!

That same weekend was 4th of July, so we spent some time with friends and family! We watch fireworks with Tyler and Kiley, then went to the blessing of new baby Layla. For some reason, I don't have pictures of her - what's wrong with me? Oh well, I'll try to get some soon! But on the actual 4th, we bbq'ed and did some fireworks with Tyler & Kiley & Chad & Melanie & some =] Here are some pictures from some of that...

The weekend AFTER 4th of July was our trip home for Danny & Errin's wedding. It was just like every other quick weekend home - crazy and busy! Here are some pictures from the weekend:

On Friday, we went swimming with some of the kids.  It's been a while since we're actually gone swimming, so it was pretty fun!

Ben & Troy

Austin - he didn't like the water.

Chad catching Troy as he jumps!

Juli & Logan - with Marilyn helping Carter swim in the back

Jennette & Lexie

And here's a picture of Troy dancing (I think?) while we were helping set up for the reception...

As for the wedding day, things went pretty good.  It was a gorgeous day and everyone looked great. 

The ceremony was really nice and Danny & Errin were super happy.  Here are just a few photos (because I struggle at taking picture...geez):

The happy couple coming out of the temple

Chad & Melanie - the next couple to get married

Me & Troy!

 

I thought these picture of Ben & I were funny, so I made this thing one day when I was super bored.

  The epitome of our relationship.

Back to Utah - we have both been super busy with school and work and family, with little to no time to do anything else.  We went up to Logan for the 24th of July to meet up with Ben's entire family.  We played in the volleyball tournament and ended up being super sore the next day - haha.  We had some good food (including Grandma Faun's traditional homemade ice cream) and a fun just hanging out with everyone.  Here are some pictures of us doing fireworks at Ben's parents the next day.

Ben's semester ends next week, and mine ends the week after.  Can't wait for that break.  It will allow us to actually have some time to breathe. We'll get to see Trent & Camilla and visit family in California.  We have high expectations of fun and relaxation =]  Exactly what we need! =]]
