4th of July


Well, I guess it's about that time again. By which I mean, time for our annual 4th of July fiesta, as well as time to update this blog. Turns out I'm not any better at writing in an online journal than a regular old notebook. Rats. Anyhow, summer is finally here and life is pretty bueno. For the 4th Dean and I hosted a bbq and it was very fun if I do say so myself. Rod and Di and Dave and Kate came as well as some friends and neighbors from our ward. On the whole, all the food turned out fairly well although the ice cream was a bit runny. Oh well, better luck next time! We went up to campus afterwards where we had a great view of the fireworks. We still have lots of sparklers and other goodies at our house, so we'll likely be using those for awhile! :)
Dean is still working at the Zoo a lot, which he loves but I'm less keen on because it means I get to see him less! I know he really loves it though so we are grateful for this opportunity he's had. I've included a picture of him at the Zoo (from a recent excursion I took). Take care to avoid confusing him with Indiana Jones which a small child at the Zoo recently did. I'm taking classes right now (Golf and my capstone Eng. class) and also helping one of my teachers with her research for her dissertation, so that has been neat. Actually right now it's just data entry so it's not too thrilling but it is interesting, and a good chance to get to know my professors better! Dean and I have also recently invested in tennis rackets so we've been trying to play at least once a week. Let me tell you- we are really good. ;) Well it's fun anyway so that's enough for us. That's all the news for now; I'll consider keeping this thing a bit more up to date, but no promises. :)
