June

I can't believe we're already half way through summer break!  Time has flown by and this vacation from school seems to be going a little too fast for me.  Deej and I have stayed busy and are definitely enjoying being out of school.  We're looking forward to getting out of the desert soon for a week in sunny California.  I unfortunately haven't photo documented all that we've been up to, but here are a few things that have been going on in our world lately.

• ASU Gammage- we've been spending lots of time at Gammage this summer.  My sister Callie and I got tickets to see Mama Mia a few weeks ago.  Mame Mia was darling and very funny.  We had a lot of fun! And then DJ and I got tickets for Les Miserables as a Christmas gift from my mom and Dave.  It was my fist time seeing the play and all I can say is WOW!  We really loved it!  There are lots of talented people out there and the story line is truly inspiring.(Sadly Deej and I didn't get a pic together at Les Mis)

• Nephews and family-The last week of May, DJ's brother Calvin and sister-in-law Sanya got to go to Australia for two weeks so the family took turns watching their three boys.  We got to do lots of fun things like go swimming and play football.  We also went to the drive-in's and saw Kung Foo Panda 2.  Last week I got to hang out with the boys again and we went bowling, to the movies, and of course swimming.  I love being able to get to know these boys and their cute personalities.  They crack me up and we have lots of fun together.

• DJ and I also have had lots of fun with Amber and Gary this summer.  As they were remodeling their apartment we were able to go and help out.  DJ mostly did the helping while I got to visit with  Amber. :) We also got to play lots and lots of Nerts.  We love these guys and I'm so grateful they live so close.  I feel that they are our best friends and I don't know what we'd do without them.  Right now they're in Prescott waiting for the arrival of their sweet baby boy.  We miss them A LOT, but we're so excited for them and the new journey they're about to embark on.  I can't wait to meet their cute baby boy!

Their baby is going to be the cutest!

• School Stuff-DJ's applications for PA school have finally been sent to the school's he's applied to, so now all we have to do is wait.  We're excited to hear back from each school and we're learning to be patient.  I'm so proud of DJ and all the hard work he's done in making his goal a reality!I on the other hand have been studying.  In August I'm scheduled to take the GRE because this fall I'll be applying to a master's program in communication disorders.  I'm really nervous for the whole process, but I'm trying hard to do my best.  This year there will be lots of determiners that will map out our future for the next couple of years.  We're excited to see what the Lord has in store for us.
