Pics from Chicago

We finally got our disposable camera developed (don't worry, I had them make a CD since everything digital now) so I thought I would post some of our pictures for you to see.

Jared and I at the "beach." We laughed because it looked like they paid a lot of money to bring in sand to cover the asphalt.

It was raining and yet a lot of people went to this outdoor concert. I think I'm going to have my students study Frank Ghery and his sketching technique--random.

The four of us at the "Taste of Chicago."

On the boat before our architecture cruise. We were soaked by then but luckily it cleared up for our cruise and the fireworks.

Update Needed

I've been told that I need to update our blog so that people know what is going on with us. Since I last wrote, we have both started school and are almost done with first quarter. We have been pretty busy getting our year started off.

Here are some things that happened since I last wrote:
1. First anniversary
2. Hiked Mt. Timpanogos
3. Spencer (Amber and Steven's baby) was born
4. School Started
5. Spencer was blessed
6. Parent/Teacher Conferences
7. Jackson (Kim and TJ's baby) was born

1st Anniversary

We started off our anniversary by hiking Mt. Timpanogos. It wasn't our original plan, it was just the day that worked for everyone else. After our long hike, we decided to take a nap and then go to Tucanos for dinner. Jared had never been before so I taught him how to not fill up on the salads because there meat is oh so tasty. He loved it because the meat was cooked just how he likes it--bleeding still.

This month with be a busy one filled with the end of our first quarter (yay!), fall breaks, trip to Park City with students, and Provo/Springville/Mapleton's Junior Miss. I will try to keep you updated on our oh so exciting lives!
