Tomorrow is my first day of school!... I am not exactly ready for summer to be over, nor do I feel I am quite ready for the challenges that lie ahead in my senior year (do I ever feel ready?)... BUT... I am definitely ready to be done with school, so bring it on!! By this time next year, I'll be giddy with excitement about the upcoming fall season. I won't have any homework and I'll just be happily working. Until then, I'm going to work hard and focus on passing my boards and try to enjoy school even though sometimes all I can do is try. :)
Jaren also starts school tomorrow. The great thing about this semester for him is that he will be working all morning shifts during the week and going to night school. This means we can eat dinner together and see each other during the evening! (Instead of him working until 12 in the morning all the time.) I have a feeling this semester will be much more enjoyable then the last one because I'll get to see my hubby more often!
Both of us have had mixed feelings about going back to school. But we've reached the point where we have accepted that summer is ending and we must go back. And the sooner we start, the sooner we finish... and I cannot wait to graduate!!

Island Park and Raspberry Days
Jaren and I had so much fun the last week of July! Monday-Thursday morning we spent time with his family in a cabin up at Island Park! I have never been there before and it was absolutely beautiful! We had so much fun 4-wheeling, canoeing, and mountain biking! We also went to Yellowstone and saw many wildlife up close! And Jaren almost got attacked by a giant moose! (Ok, well he didn't really come close to getting attacked... but the moose was so close to him I was afraid it would charge!)
Thursday morning we departed for Bear Lake. On the way, we stopped at the Rexburg temple! It was gorgeous on the inside and outside, I'm glad we were able to go. Afterward, we passed through Jackson Hole (because Jaren said he really wanted to get BBQ, but when it came time he said he just wanted a sub) and finally came to Bear Lake. While at Bear Lake, we boated, went on the wave runner, biked, and helped with fixing up the cabin. On Saturday, during Raspberry Days we ran a 5K! Wahoo! It was my first race. Jaren did awesome, he was 4th in his age group! And I was pretty happy with my time, too! I think we'll probably run the 5K again next year!
One thing that was disappointing is... Jaren and I didn't take very many pictures! (I know... we are the WORST with taking pictures!) But luckily my cousins took some so I'll have to get the pictures from them! I have made a new goal though to be a better picture taker!
I'm sad summer is almost over! Jaren and I are really going to have to live up these next few weeks!! Summer has been SO fun, but gone by too fast!
