August

Half-way through August at that. Man, how time flies. 6 weeks til we move? 20 something working days left at StoresOnline? Not that I'm counting down.

The last week in July we got to spend some fun and relaxing time with the Creer family at East Canyon. It's a semi-annually family reunion type deal where all Dustin's family goes up to East Canyon to play together. His Grandma and Grandpa Creer also usually come up and his Aunt and Uncle Teri and Neil family come up too. This year Andy and Amy and kids got to come up for a day and we all had a great time together! It's so nice cuz you can just do whatever... or do nothing at all. There's a lake that the family went jet-skiing on a day before we could come up, they have 4 wheeling trails, basketball, tennis, shuffleboard, mini golf, and a fun pool and hot tub! We always like to play lots of games and last year Ticket To Ride Europe became a big hit. Nertz is also a Creer family favorite and we all just play and have so much fun together!!

East Canyon was the last of our vacations for the year. And possibly ever. Or at least for the next couple years. Now we're packing up and securing housing, which is starting to be a little frustrating. The perfect apartment we wanted won't be open because the tenants extended for a couple more months. lame. And now they don't have any other top floor openings. They have one bottom floor opening, but the bottom floor is $50 more a month!!! Do you know what $50 does to a monthly budget grad school style? I'm sure we can still afford it (we'll have like $300 a month doing plasma... and that's without me getting a real job! Yippee!), but there are a lot of other things we'd rather do with $50 a month (like go on a date?!?!) if we could live on the top floor (which we would prefer anyway). So... blarg. We'll see. We're still going to fill out the application cuz we still really want to live there, even if it will cost a little more money.

On a side note, did I mention yet that I am now on Pinterest? I don't remember if I did or not, but I am, so you should follow me. So I can pin more cool stuff. And find more cool recipes. So that I may someday be a world famous baker. Or something.

PS. Melanie won SYTYCD! YAY!! She was my favorite. Completely amazing and graceful and just the best. :)

The End.
