Busy

I don't know how people have normal lives and still have time to blog. Since we have been home it has been just about the last thing on my mind so I am trying to catch up. The summer has gone so fast and we are now about three weeks away from moving to Indiana for our final year. Nate has loved his job and is trying to decide where we wants to work permanantly. Meanwhile I am causing as many problems for him as I can by having surgery last Thursday to fix my septum and clear out my nose so I can breathe. I have been completely useless since and Nate is, as ever, a really good sport about it. It has also been really nice to have both our families around to help and mostly my mom who picks up all my slack. We will be leaving in a week to go on what was supposed to be a white water rafting trip to Vail,CO and what is now a relaxing weekend in the mountains (my doctor laughed at me when I asked if I could still raft). We will have to make up the trip and do Moab real soon. I will post pictures when we have them!

Carpinteria

Nate and I had only been home for about a week when I was off again. I went with my mom and my sisters to Carpinteria Beach in California. My dad and brother, Nick, came for a few days as well. I had to leave Nate this time and that made me sad. It was the first time we had been in different time zones. Besides missing Nate it was a wonderful week. There is a campground right on the beach and we just set up some tents and sat on the beach all week long. It was good to spend time with my family as I had not seen them for about six months until we got home.

We had really good weather all week and I got some good shots of the beautiful sunset.

Shelby and my Dad and I built a sand igloo. It fell down when they tried to hollow it out. Whoops.

Cute Girls!

Here we are! Plus a neighbor kid that hung out with us.

The day after I got back Nate and I went down to Blanding for my family reunion. I will post some pictures of that later!
