Maybe if I try just giving a month recap every month that no other blog post occurs? I will at least give it a try! (I hope you approve Jenni!!!!)
Dan is going to school this summer so our daily routine isn't too exciting but we definitely stay busy! He will be done with the summer semester next wednesday (yippeeeee!!!) and then has two weeks off before fall semester starts! We have a family vacation planned and hopefully a few fun other things to get our summer in before it is all gone!
Today Dan is taking two exams to get his teaching certificate license, so along with all his regular homework he has been preparing for those. This past week I have been able to help him a bit with a lot of the math concepts and I hope it helps (the tests are similar to like an ACT test)! I am proud of all the hard work he has done and trust that he will do great today. In a few hours he can finally breathe!!!
Over the 4th of July weekend we did slip away from reality for a day or so. Our SIL Natalie grew up about 2 hours north of here in Idaho Falls. She has been bragging about the fireworks there so we went up Sunday night and spent the night. On Monday we participated in a 5k, yeah you heard that right, WE participated! Well, I should clarify, I didn't run but I did walk it...Now that Dan is enjoying running bigger races I figure on the small ones I should take advantage of the opportunity to get some excercise since I can still see him finish the bigger ones.
Dan did great. He came in 14th place (I think??? I don't remember his time though....but you know him, whatever time it was, it was pretty good). That night we watched amazing fireworks (Natalie was right!) and had a late night drive home in order to be back to work the next am. It was so much fun to just run away for the day and we loved spending it with family.
