Speaking of Random...

We went to the Lubbock, TX temple which is about 3 hours away from Carlsbad and it was awesome.

Shay wanted me to post pictures of our condo here, but I only have this sweet picture of my backyard for now. It's not much...

I need new books to read, any suggestions from anyone? I haven't found a really good book since I read the Poison Study series by Maria V. Snyder, and am itching for something new.

Brady is getting his final presentation all polished for his internship. We come home in about 3 weeks, and we are so relieved to report that we FINALLY found an apartment. It is in North Logan and should be great!

Also, we have a pretty exciting bit of news in the Praag family this week...Miss Jessica Shae Praag is going to become Mrs. Jessica Shae Meitchen! Jason proposed at Bear Lake on Saturday. I finally have a brother!

What be crack a lackin on the 4th

For the 4th of July weekend, we stayed in a cabin near Cloudcroft, NM. It was so good to be in the mountains again, and actually remember what cool weather feels like. We went 4wheeling and dirt biking all weekend. Poor Brady had to ride the 4wheeler with me because his bike is once again all jacked up. Go figure. We had fun together though, and even saw 2 elk and lots of beautiful scenery. It was hard to believe we were still in NM, because it was so green and rainy and mossy. We made killer peach cobbler in the dutch oven and played a totally redneck game of duct tape-a-pole-to-your-helmet-and-try-to-get-the-frisbee-on-it. Yeah, we are cool like that. We also played a million rounds of Settlers of Catan, which we now have Sadie and Tel hooked on too.

Waiting out the storm in downtown Cloudcroft.
