HA, gotcha!

Now that spring term is over, I'm taking a few independent study classes, and working. Jon is still enjoying his internship with the church and will be taking 2 classes.

We've been working hard on our summer bucket list and done so many fun things together.

Here's what we've done the past two months:

Gone to the aquarium
Gone to the drive in to see Star Trek: into darkness
7 Peaks swimming (lots)
Went to Pie Pizza (finally!) It was really good!
The Zoo. It was great, but man, I love the STL zoo. It's free and a lot bigger!
Planned a trip to STL in July (can't wait!)
Rented the most adorable puppy (We really REALLY had a hard time not adopting her!)
Went to the ducky derby and got 1st and 3rd place, respectively.
Each read Mistborn (jon's first time, katie's 10,000)
Mini Golfing/ go karts at trafalga
Beat Mario Kart together
Went to the Salt Lake Farmers market (Need to go back, it's amazing!) **Shoutout to D & A--we must go in August!
Hike the Jordan-river trail to Bridal Veil Falls on a gorgeous summer day
Taken plenty of walks on the new campus trails
$1 bowling at Fat Cats
WOO! We've really done a lot--we have a lot more on our bucket list, but it's more "big trips" like Zions, hiking Timp, etc. Can't wait!

I just love my sweet husband! He is amazing. Always does the dishes, no complaints. He works so hard for our tiny family! :)

We had the pleasure of getting to see Sharla and Bret all weekend! They're moving to Delaware to be near Jon's sister Christina, so it was great! Friday I went to a sleepover at Tami's with all the girls--I love them! I seriously hate not having sisters, and they are fantastic. I feel so close and loved by them, and I LOVE those girls! They are amazing and so fun to be with.
We went to dinner at Gma and Grandpas on Sunday, saturday we went to an amazing chalk art festival, red iguana, and saw superman with jake, misty, bret, and sharla. Then on Tuesday, we went to 7 peaks with bret and sharla. So fun! They are awesome to be with. I think I definitely lucked out because I have the BEST MIL! She is the nicest person you'll ever meet and so, so kind. We have a lot in common and I love spending time with her! They're heading to STL today and my parents are so excited to get to spend some time with them. I hope they love STL as much as I do.. and the humidity....haha ;)
Just keep swimming!
