Summer time is party time!

We flew into Boise at the end of  May to spend time with our family and it has been so fun. For the past month our days have consisted of swimming, playing with our nieces and nephews, watching movies, going on bike rides, and basically doing whatever our hearts desire! It has been pure bliss, and it was much needed. Randy has been working so hard in school and I was SO ready to be done teaching my students for awhile. But our time in Boise is coming to an end, as we are leaving for Provo Monday morning. Randy is getting paid to go do research and write a paper over there. I always said "You couldn't pay me to write a research paper." Apparently you can! He's just so smart, which is good because I possess no smarts, ask anyone. Hmmmm what else is there? I turned 23 ("nobody likes you when you're 23"). Driving on freeways and roads that aren't packed 24/7 has been nice. We are looking forward to seeing Randy's family next weekend when we go to their reunion in Victor. We've just been having so much fun that I fear it will be hard for us to go back to real life. But alas, we must. (sigh) first world problems. Until then we will continue to enjoy our summer! And now for some pictures....

                               Ted and Shirley (love them!) sent me some "Heidi Ho's" cheese spread for my                                              birthday. It was quite possibly the greatest gift I have ever received.

My sisters and I ran in the famous Idaho Potato race! It was so fun. I ran the 10k. My one goal was to not stop, and I am happy to report that I did not. (though old ladies in wheelchairs were passing me)

And this picture. I don't even know what to say. I wasn't able to be home for Mother's Day, so my family felt the best way to include me was by holding my decapitated head.

                                         We got family pictures taken. And my parents are cute.

                                     Grandpa gave all the grandkids suckers, as to persuade them to behave for                                                                  picture taking. Aren't they cute?

                                                                                     That is all.
