10 years ago...

10 years ago today I was getting ready to go to school, I was in 8th grade, I heard my mom call for us in her room and when I went in, I remember seeing the first plane in the tower and thinking "what is going on?" Seconds after I thought that, the second plane hit. I will never forget that moment.

I am so grateful for the men and women who have lost their lives to protect our freedom. And for all those who serve and continue to do so, thank you!

...highlights...

The last few months have been filled with lots of fun stuff! Trips, birthdays, concerts, football games and lots, lots more!

Here are the highlights....
These cute girls had birthdays.

{Mom had lots of candles ;) }

Andrew had a birthday too and somehow this was the only picture!

We went to Stadium of Fire!

{Brad Paisley is AMAZING!}

We played water balloon baseball.
Went to the Clearfield City 4th of July parade!
Pinata!

We heart these kids!

Went to a Memorial Day party at the Kandi and Nick's! Thanks guys! It was a blast!


This little girl watched fireworks for the first time!
{that she remembers}



This cutie lost a tooth!
Andrew took this cool picture.

Andrew and Jordan went and did iFly at the Solomon Center in Ogden.


They also did FlowRider! Lots of falling and some cool tricks!




We saw the midnight showing of Harry Potter 7 pt 2!

We won tickets and went to the Tim McGraw preshow concert and then went to the concert!


{he is a beautiful man! and I was like 6 feet away from him!!!}
{I love some of their songs!! They sound better on the radio though... }

Had a "Farewell to Theta" get together and got to see girls I haven't seen in a long time!!

Went to San Diego and went parasailing!

These guys were there, too!

We went to the San Diego Temple... So pretty!!
We hung out at the beach!

We went to the Sugarland concert (1 week after the Indiana State fair incident!) This was probably the best concert I've ever been to! They are amazing! Sara Bareilles was their opening act and she was pretty incredible too!

Sara and Jeremy came, too! They have been at all the concerts we went to this summer! It has been way fun to have excuses to see them!
Annie was there, too! Pretty much LOVE hanging out with this girl! We are so glad she got to come to the awesome concert with us and some of her camp friends from this summer!

{AMAZING!!!!}

We did this cool puzzle! I've never seen a puzzle stick together so well! It was pretty fun!
UTAH FOOTBALL!!!!! The season started Sept 1 and it was AWESOME! Our team needs to step it up for the future games but at least we won and it was so fun to get to go watch the Utes again!

{We were really excited about it!}
Andrew and I sat outside and watched some way cool lightning storms a few weeks ago! It was way cool! We couldn't get very good pictures but this picture was taken at like 10:00 pm... the lightning was lighting up the whole sky!
We also moved!! But I don't have any pictures of that! Our new place is amazing! We are in a basement apartment and the people upstairs are great! We've been having a lot of fun here so far and can't wait to be here for the year!

And that is what we have been up to! It's been an awesome summer! Now Andrew is back in school (he only had a 2 week break after summer school so not much has changed there!) and I am back at work! Not much is new with us! Just loving life and having a great time getting through school! One day Andrew will be finished (at least that's what I keep telling myself!)
