Its been so long...

Its been so long since our family has been sick I forgot how terrible it is. The only ones who haven't been struck are mom and Elias.

Its been so long since we owned a house, I don't know how to feel. Now we just have to get it through the process, and start redoing the kitchen. At least now I know I will be in a bedroom at some point.

Utah...




While in this state, with a camera battery on low... I have found several pictures of places we have been, that have not actually been taken by me. As soon as my dads laptop, and my camera are in the same place at the same time, I can take the sd card right from the camera (IMAGINE THAT!) and upload some pictures that I have taken of places we have been. That might be a couple of days. Don't we all call the internet a life saver at some point in our lives?

One of the places we have been recently, is the Ferron golf course.
My dad and some of my relatives played golf, and I drove the cart.
More fun than actually trying to play golf in my book.

Another place we have been recently is deep in our cups of slushies.
This delicacy is not available in NY, so we take advantage of this situation
with sugary happiness.

Another place we have been visiting so frequently, that names probably appear next to our faces on security cameras (not because of wrongdoing) is the Orem library.
The movie selection is better than most hollywood movie places aroun here, and the book selection is enormous. Plus, who doesn't like a place that supplies comfy chairs and cushions from ikea to read in???

new car


We bought a new van.
We haven't bought a house yet, we are still looking at options.
Meanwhile, we play with cousins and friends, spend our days inside
hiding from the sun, and standing by flickering computer screens looking
at houses. We also cook meals wherever we are, and do dishes. On Thursday
we head down to a reunion in Ferron, where we have been warned that you can't
get out of the car due to alarming amounts of swarming bugs. Then the next week
we head to our cabin in the mountains, and then school starts. Which is scary,
because its a month before ny school would start. Our summer is cut in half.
Elias left for scout camp this morning. He decided to go last night, so we set record time in borrowing supplies, and going to a friends for a physical.
I am also going to get to go to girls camp, on a overnight backpacking trip,
which you do fourth year, instead of camping in the woods like ny. I think this actually sounds like more fun. Love to everyone, and I will post pictures soon.
