At Last

No, I didn't fall off the edge of the Earth or anything. Sometimes being in Oregon feels like I did fall off the edge of the Earth though. Actually...It's called I don't have the internet at my apartment anymore. It stinks when the person you were stealing wireless from decides to move, and all your other neighbors are smart enough to lock theirs. I thought I was going to die without being able to check my facebook every single day (or hour depending on how bored I was) and not being able to stream pretty much any tv show anytime I wanted to. And it did seem like death for the first two weeks. Life was so boring. A whole summer without the internet?!?! But in the end, I have found out that life does go on without the internet. Who knew? So now that summer is over, I guess I will do an update on life since it has been awhile and I keep getting nagged to post something.



So. Summer went by way too fast. It is still hard to get used to not having summers off and having to have a job and responsibilities, and not being able to go on vacations whenever. But I can't complain too much because this summer was pretty great. I got to go home to Boise for my birthday. The whole family was there, minus Jacob, and we had a weekend full of fun things. We went to McCall and went jetskiing and ate the best pancakes in the world. We went to the zoo, and swimming lessons, played with the kids and had lots of good food. It is always a good time with the fam.


Another fun thing was having a sleepover with Zach. It was his first sleepover, and we had a pretty great time, as you can see. We stayed up way too late watching movies. When we tried to go to bed Zach just layed there and would talk about anything and everything. It is so funny to see what he comes up with. We talked a lot about Value Village (a store like Savers/DI), being scarecrows, Harry Potter, Santa Claus....and sang songs. When we woke up we went to the elementary school right down the street and played on the playground. The grass was still pretty wet so his socks got all wet, hence the Halloween socks in the picture. He was so excited to wear socks with pumpkins on them. We also played a little Wii and had fun being rockstars.





My mom came to visit a few days too! We went to the coast and got some pretty great pictures with my amazing new camera. The coast is one of my favorite places. It is so beautiful...minus some smelly tidepools and a lot of flies. We also hit up a bunch of my favorite places while she was here. We went to IKEA, Panera, New York Pizza, Trader Joe's, and both Outlet Malls. It was fun to have her all to myself for a visit.



So that sums up my life for the past few months. More to come soon. I promise.
