August.

This month was full of so much adventure! I quit my job on August 5th and Glen and I finally had 100% freedom to do whatever we wanted! So, naturally, we went to Utah. Glen was especially excited to get out of the heat. We only had 4.5 days there, so we decided to keep the visit strictly to family, since it was the first time my whole family had been together since Christmas. We went to some movies, played some games, and just hung out. It was a really great time. Most of these pictures are taken with my sister Kelsey's camera, so that's why she's in 99% of them. We also wanted to take some family pictures last-minute, so one of Lydia's friends was kind enough to bring her nice camera and snap some pics for us. She did a great job.

Also, I made this awesome quilt for my sister Kelsey. I really wanted to learn to quilt, so I taught myself, made a goal, and gave myself a deadline. I was only late by a couple of weeks but I'm still pretty proud. My first quilt ever! I even machine quilted it myself. The quilt squares are all different fabrics representing Kelsey's interests and hobbies, she liked it, and I'm glad to be done with it. Stay tuned for a more detailed blog about this quilt.

Glen started his 2nd year of law school and so we are back in the swing of things. We've been dong some rearranging in our apartment and we've even added some new furniture. In Arizona we got really into thrifting (they have some amazing thrift shops there) and so we brought back some pretty fun games. That's it for now!

  1. This is the first I've seen of your family pictures. They turned out so beautifully. Your quilt is fabulous. I've never done one from beginning to end. Way to go!
