I'm still here!

Yes, In case you were wondering, I'm still alive! Summer was so crazy this year. It flew by and I didn't seem to have a free minute. Have you ever noticed that when you are busy working or on a schedule you seem to have more time. Now that I'm back teaching and into a routine again I feel great. It feels like I can get things done again.
What did we do this summer? We went to the temple open house. We took Ty and his best friend to Lagoon. We went and visited Shane and Julie a lot. We went camping and fishing. We coached Tyler's baseball team. Tyler was still busy with karate and scouts. We took the boy scouts in our ward to Moab for a camping trip. (It was so much fun to get to know them better). It was a fun summer. I read a lot. My favorite book that I read this summer was the Joseph Smith Papers. It was great to learn more about our church history. We even grew a garden for the first time.
What did I not do this summer? I didn't have time to get everything organized in the church closet like I wanted to. I didn't have time to keep up on my yard like I usually do. I didn't get to spend much time with my friends because they were as busy as I was. I didn't get all the paper work caught up for our adoption.
I think that summer days are great but I love to get back into daily routines also. So you should hear more from me now.
