Epic Summer Recap

So...in case you're wondering, we are still alive.

The break in posts wasn't intentional.  We've been busy off and on since we moved to Pocatello in the middle of May.  And eventually, I plum forgot about this little place.

So, I shall briefly recap our time since May, and hopefully I can get back into the swing of things!

MAY


  • The hubs and I moved from Idaho Falls to Pocatello in the middle of the month
  • Bruce got called to be the 11 year old Scout leader in our ward (once a scout leader, always a scout leader)
  • Cooper graduated from puppy training (but he's still a puppy, and always requires more training)
  • We experienced some crazy thunder storms.  The weather here is intense.
  • We started work on improving the yard in front of our house...it's a big project.
  • Bought a new car
JUNE

  • Got the swamp cooler set-up in the house, so we wouldn't melt all summer!
  • Locked ourselves out of our car, walked home 3 miles in our bathing suits, only to be locked out of the house...an epic sunburn ensued.
  • I graduated!
  • We celebrated our 1 year anniversary at Lagoon for the weekend.
  • Replaced the old 1950's stove with one that actually cooks things evenly!
  • Went to Utah for my niece's baptism and birthday
  • Caught a kitten at my in-laws, and was able to find it a good home.
  • Had a vertigo relapse
  • Bruce got a job as a male caregiver
JULY

  • Cooper got neutered and had to wear the Cone of Shame
  • Went to Utah for the wedding of Bruce's best friend Joey
  • Spent time in Idaho Falls with Bruce's family
  • Took Cooper to a lake...determined he doesn't like waves
  • Discovered that dog parks are amazing, and now we go almost daily with the pup
AUGUST

  • Bruce started his first semester of his last year of his undergraduate degree
  • I got a promotion at work
  • I took a brief break from the cooking blog.  And Facebook.
  • Started getting dental work done...no bueno.
  • The Scholes Family Reunion in Lava Hot Springs was a success
  • Bruce was super sick (temps around 102) for a week
  • I spent a week in Utah at WGU's Academic Meetings
That is a little bit of what has been keeping us busy.  Hopefully we, or rather, I will be better about keeping this updated in the future.
