I know I know....

Ok I know I have been absolutely terrible at keeping a record of what we have been doing this summer, so I thought I would give you the reader digest version of this summer.

1.) Brent began working with Robert Kerr (A man from my home ward who just opened his own firm). I was so impressed with Robert because he really went out of his way to get Brent started on the right path. Well he set Brent up to interview at another law firm in West Linn, which was started by two men in our stake. Well they liked him so much that they gave him a job! He has been really enjoying it and is really considering going back next year to work with them again after considering all of his options of course!

2.) I am still working with the Oregon City Parks and Recreation department. My camp is going well and I have a great co-worker named Jason. He is really chill and helps me not get to stressed when things get super crazy. At this point the weeks are flying by pretty fast and I cannot believe that I only have two more weeks left. Note to self bottle rockets are an awesome craft. I am also working at Shari’s and although the 13 hour days get really hard but I am still enjoying the job a lot and am really sad to be leaving!

3.) So far Brent has got to have a lot of fun. He found out that his family was at the coast and took off for the weekend to go spend time with them. He was so excited because he got to drive his brother’s big truck all around the sand. He also went on a camping trip with Toren and his scout troop. What more is there to life then telling jokes around a fire? Well I have no idea… and I decided not to ask Brent.

4.) Well you bet I didn’t let Brent have all the fun! We went to the beach with my family and had a great time in Rockaway. We went to the Tillamook Cheese Factory and played in the ice cold ocean for a while! I couldn’t believe how much fun little Braden has gotten but he still isn’t my biggest fan… yet. On Saturday Brent went on a bike ride and found three deer that were so friendly. We were able to just relax close to them and get within 10 feet of them! It was very exciting.

Well sad to say that our summer is already coming to an end. We have our plans in place for moving back and are excited for the move but are going to miss everyone we have worked with this summer.

The beach was a lot of fun. Braden will warm up to you, just give him some time. We will need to try and make it out there or have you come up. It's just my grumpy money oriented husband. We might go out to Utah for Thanksgiving. If so, we will probably go out early, so we can spend some time with you.
