A very lazy summer



So, now that we're home, our plans for the summer are as follows:

NOTHING!!!..........
.
.
.
Absolutely. Nothing.

It's going to be GREAT!!

When we left for Europe, we moved out of our apartment and I quit my job (or took a break, I'm not really sure what will happen when we get back) so since we have nothing to get home to, I would much rather NOT be in Arizona during it's worst and hottest months and instead, stay in Logan! We're living with my parents so as to save our non-existent money-- Neither of us have real jobs since we're only here for the summer, but we have been lucky to pick up a few odds and ends type of jobs here and there, thanks to some extended family members.

So, we plan to just sleep in, hang out with family and friends, lay out by the pool, read books, go camping, climbing, biking, hiking or whatever else our little hearts desire. I can't WAIT. I can already tell it'll be hard to go back to real life after this..... or maybe we'll be ready for it. Who knows.

Also on my list for the summer, (after having nothing to watch on TV for two months while in Prague besides the Food Network -- nothing else was in English) I've decided I want to improve my cooking skills. So far, it's been a lot of fun. I've found some really yummy new recipes and I think the whole fam has enjoyed testing them out.

I've also enjoyed playing the piano and brushing up on those skills a bit. I hope one day to have one of my own, but for now, using my parents for the summer will have to be good enough!

I'm jealous Jessica comment on your blog first! She may have to change her name to Jess or something so as not to be confused w/ Jessica W.! I LOVE that you guys are here. Everyday it feels like a party! I LOVE your piano playing, and I esp LOVE your cooking. It is sooooo great to come home after a hard day at work (haha) and find you (and sometimes Brody) slaving away in the kitchen. It's been awesome! Keep it up!

Glad you're safely home and enjoying the break. Come see us! Aren't there some mountains around here you'd like to climb or something? Come on down!

So nice. Enjoy your relaxation for sure (and the cooler weather too). Fun to work on your cooking skills too...maybe you can be a chef somewhere when you come back.
