Life's many milestones..

Summer has officially began! You know what that means... birthdays and graduations galore. In my family, Josh's birthday is May 30th, mine and my father-in-law's bday is the 31st, my sister Megan's bday is June 6th, Mom's is June 9th and we just celebrated my brother in-law's bday today! Holy Craziness!! We have also been to quite a few graduation parties for cousins, aunts, friends, and even my own brother's.

Josh's graduation was so awesome! I'm so glad Garrett and I could go. We had a graduation party for Josh and had his favorite... Costa Vida. I think he liked that! I am sooo proud of him for all he has accomplished. He was voted best male lead at RMHS, given the Distinguished Student award (which gives you a $5,000 scholarship and $500 cash) graduated with honors, has about a million friends, graduated from seminary, and has chosen to serve a mission. He is going to Dallas, Texas! We are so excited for him. I know he will do great things on his mission. He has always been a great teacher. He reports to the mtc September 17th. I am glad we have the summer to spend with him!

Another exciting thing happening in our life.. we bought a car! We got a 2013 Ford Escape. You could say it's Garrett's new favorite toy! He loves it. It took us a long time to find the right vehicle, but it was worth the wait. I am sooo glad we are done car shopping. So not fun to me! So far it is very fun to have. Garrett says one day it will be my "sexy mommy mobile" :) haha!

Let's see.. besides that, we have been taking lots of bike rides and enjoying the nice weather. This past weekend we were in salt lake and went to the temple. It was my first time going to the slc one! I loved it. The celestial room was gorgeous. Garrett was showing me all the small details and how amazing it was that they hand carved almost everything in the room. I can't even imagine the time that was put in to it! We spent time with Gar's parent's.. his mom took me to smith's and gave me my first lesson on flowers. I got a cute flower pot to put outside our door and now know a little more about gardening! If any of you didn't know, Chris is like the queen of flowers... her yard always looks amazing. So i was glad she could teach me a little!

That's all that's going on in our lives right now... See ya next time!! <3
