Back to the land of the living

Well nothing terribly exciting has happened to us lately, but in the spirit of updating blogs here I go..... I have been studying like a maniac for the first step of my medical licensing exam, AKA "the Boards". Studying has been a nightmare and, to be perfectly honest, so have I. I'm sure that my husband is eagerly anticipating the return of a wife who doesn't cry at the drop of a hat or yell at small children for blocking her view of the ice cream counter (ask Kevin about it). I think I am well on my way to recovery after a night of movies and junk food and I hope to be at full force next week when we take a trip to California with my family. In the meantime we actually have managed to squeeze in some fun here and there. Both Mother's Day and Father's day were lots of fun since we were able to hang out with our families. Mother's day was especially fun for me because Justin called and seems to be doing really well on his mission.
A couple of weeks ago we went camping overnight with my family (and the dogs) up in North Fork. It was a beautiful and welcome break. We had a great time going on a little hike up to a waterfall and playing around. It was a nice hike because it was super easy for a great reward.

We also went up Millcreek canyon and built a campfire with some of our friends a while back. It was so much fun to just get to hang out and eat our interesting smore-like concoctions.
Kevin was able to go fishing in Wyoming a little this last week which was good because I was worried that he might actually drop over dead from not fishing if he didn't get up there soon. Thank goodness his dad came to the rescue and whisked him away to the river he loves. He had a great time and caught some great fish (of course).
