It's SO nice to be out of school now and a little more relaxed, although it seems like there is still always a lot to do. Yesterday Isaac got his new mission call to Russia, Samara and today he got his wisdom teeth out, both went well. He is glad to still be going to the same general area, after learning so much about a place you start to love the people even though you haven't been there or met them yet. Someday he will make to Kazakhstan.
Congrats to Scott on his graduation and we hope he is enjoying his first time in the temple today. We would love to be there, but we are home nursing Isaac's chipmunk cheeks.
Our next door neighbors built a zipline in their backyard, so the kids have been spending their spare time playing over there. Natalie has taken on a new interest in photography after taking a class in High School. She is excited about taking Brenda's nice big camera on our trip to Nauvoo and is looking forward to seeing six new states that she hasn't seen before. Auriana is already safely in Nauvoo and has her first show tonight. They perform outside every evening at 8:30pm and they spend their days traveling around to various places to perform. We are looking forward to our trip to see her play and watch Natalie play soccer in Denver.
We enjoyed a family hike last week and found the same spot that we used for our engagement pictures. We had fun trying to reenact the picture 21 years later.
