Hectic August

We are looking forward to September!
This month is very hectic. We got back from Florida just in time for Mandy to run down to girls camp for a day. We worked hard to get life back to normal at home, but less than a week later we went down to Mom's. I had a nice few days, but I know it was hard on Mandy because it rained so much that she and Anna had to stay couped up in the construction zone house and couldn't spend much time outside. We're home again and trying to get things settled, but already we're making plans to leave on Friday for over a week as we head to Idaho and Utah for Josh's farewell (going on mission to Russia) and the Thomas E. Ricks reunion. Needless to say, we're glad we can go, but it will be nice once all these trips are over and we can settle back in at home for more than 5 days at a time.
