Toll House Cookies Rock My World

Erin Tobin just gave me the most delicious ice cream cookie in the world. Thanks, Erin!

Our Lives in July

So much has happened! Where do I begin?

Matt and I went to my sister's house in Idaho for the 4th. It is tradition to go to the town parade and festival. We barbecued, played with fireworks and relaxed.

Last weekend we had a trip to Salt Lake and went to visit the Sandlot house and field. Matt was like a giddy little boy, it was so cute! We will post the pics later, we are just super lazy right now. We also went around temple square and hung out at the History Museum. We ate the Pi, which is supposed to have the best pizza around but I got sick. Not a fan really.

My mom and dad have had 2 barbecues this month and have been quite the party throwers. We have had all the cousins up here and have just hung out, catching up with everyone.

Matt was accepted to Thunderbird School of Global Management in Glendale, AZ! YAY! He is going to be getting his Masters of Science in Global Management. The program is basically covering finance, accounting, entrepreneurship, etc. and Matt would like to work internationally. I will be going back to school to continue my pursuit of a nursing degree. Woo hoo! We have a very exciting life ahead of us!

We just barely got approved for our apartment in Peoria, AZ. It is cute and we will get awesome tans sitting by the pool! My sister, Ginger, was so sweet to drive an hour and a half to go check it out for us and hooked us up with a sweet deal! Thanks, Ging!

I am a little nervous because we don't have jobs but it will all work out. I think I might apply to Nordstrom. Usually the super trendy, fashion-type scare me but I figure it would be a great way to make commission, especially in Arizona. Why not try something new? Anyway, we move August 8th and Tim, Matt's dad is helping us drive down. It will be fun to see him.

My brother Todd came to Utah for a long weekend so we have been up in Heber all weekend. My sister in law, Caren, invited us to her Mom's birthday party up at Heber Valley Girl's Camp, a notorious church camp here in Utah. We did the challenge course zip-line (which I thought I was going to fall off of getting across the 25 foot high wire!) and then went canoeing and volleyball. Caren made tin foil dinners and it was an all around good time. Matt went shooting and golfing with my brothers, Todd and Tyler, so he had an extremely active day. Later on that night, Matt, Todd, Tyler, and I had a 2 on 2 volleyball match. I think Matt and I are going to start playing volleyball a bit, so we can throw down in our next family match.

Mom made her famous roast dinner today. Yum, yum, yum! Everyone is now watching the Sandlot, again, so I better go be a good family member.
