cory and i were just joking about "our blog," so i figured i should write a post or two. i mean it is summer, and i have a lot more free time than i expected! if i blogged consistently then i wouldn't have to write super long posts like the one that's probably about to occur. good thing i'm an english major....
april-chad and erik came to stay with us (different weekends). we had general conference with cory's family. we finished school for the summer (woohoo!). we also got rocking scholarships!
may-shelly came into town a few times and we got to ride the ferris wheel at cabela's with her :) we started going to the library every monday and to seven peaks waterpark (right down the street from our house). cory began working full-time and i stayed part-time...hard to believe but the visual arts department does not get a lot of action during the summer months! also, i got a perm! a beach wave perm to be exact and i like it. it looks a little like i crimped my hair (not good), but only sometimes. also, i haven't used a heating product on my hair from may 7 to today, july 16. nuts!
june-cory's birthday! he wanted it to be low-key, so we had a dinner of his fave foods (mac and cheese, salmon and broccoli-i know weird). and i made him a birthday cake oreo-flavored cheesecake. he loves birthday cake oreos and he loves cheesecake. so each year (second one running), i make him a cheesecake for his special day. it turned out great! oh...and for his present, he used all his birthday money and got a recliner. it was a hard battle and arguing point for weeks. we compromised and got one, in a fabric texture and color that i chose. it is truly very comfortable. cory competed in the utah summer games again with aunt nicki and uncle nick's family. we stayed at granny and dorothy's house from wednesday to sunday and had so much fun! cory got first in his nine events-so proud! and we got to eat sushi, see monsters university, go to mary poppins at tuacahn (AMAZING), went swimming and kayaking. we also got cable this month...thanks to comcast's super expensive prices for internet, it was cheaper to get a bundle deal. so dumb. i HATE talking to them on the phone more than any other company. june 29 we left for our san diego vacation!! i'll do a whole post devoted to that (shocker, right?).
july-first week we were in san diego...then back to real life. we have been to the drive-in movies, which is basically the best thing EVER. we went to antelope island and swam in the great salt lake. super trippy-you totally float! and oh, all our water was out when we got home from vacation cause our house is so old and the pipes were all backed up. the city and some company had to totally dig up our yard and replace the sewage pipe from the house to the road...i guess our 50 year old house decided to demand all its renovations while we are renting...new faucets, new floor, new AC, new furnace, new sewage pipe. oh so many things wrong, but that's the (cheap) price you pay when you're a poor college students with a dog. living here has definitely taught us to do without (water and heat) and given cory the chance to fix everything possible. he is now a pro drain cleaner and faucet installer and pipe installer, amongst all his other handy talents that i'll have to list some other time. july is halfway through and with a month and half of summer, cory and i are going to make it awesome! even though, we are currently home watching tv and blogging (i worked, worked out and cooked a full dinner today, so i'm good...). LIFE IS GOOD and we are happy. this is probably the last relaxing summer we will have, so we are living it up!
