Just a quick update....

Life is back in full swing for Nathan and I. I finally broke down and got a job. I am working for a daycare running there summer camp program for school aged children. So far so good. It keeps me pretty busy working almost 50 hours a week plus the out of school time planning two field trips a week and three days of fun and crazy activities. It is an 11 week program and each week has a specific theme. Next week the theme is gross and gooey.... which should culminate a lot of crazy projects and fun stuff.

Nathan is still working full time as an intern and loving it. A couple weeks ago he started playing on a softball team with a couple of guys from his work. The games have been really exciting because these boys are competitive.

Lastly we are both still trying to muster up the energy to finish our online classes. I think we are almost half way done. It's amazing how much harder it is to motivate yourself when your outside of Rexburg and no longer in the school zone.

Overall though we are having a GREAT time in Texas and we really love it!

This past weekend Nathans parents came to visit! Before heading off to San Antonio for the weekend we went on a tour of the USS Lexington. I thought it was going to be lame but it was AMAZING! I can't believe the amount of history on this one aircraft carrier. It really was truly an experience.

After the Lexington we headed out to San Antonio for the weekend. It was so much fun and San Antonio is such a cool city to visit. You would be amazed at all the fun and random things there are to do. We will most definitely be back.
Here we all are on board a small river boat that gives you a tour of the river.


Of course we had to stop at the Alamo. I felt a little uneducated when we were there, we stopped and listened to a volunteer tell the story of the Alamo and there was so much I didn't know. I guess I will have to add reading a book on the Alamo to my summer list of things to do.

Overall the weekend was wonderful and we had such a good time!

P.S. my brother is coming home from his mission on Thursday! He has been in England for the past two years and next week I finally get to see him! I can't wait!

Today we got to go with the youth in our ward to the San Antonio temple! It was amazing and could be one of the prettiest I have been in yet. We absolutely loved it, everything about it from the peace and comfort you feel when you walk in the door to the colorful stain glass windows that allowed small pillars of light to shine in and onto the font. If you are ever in the area you have to find the time to stop by. I promise it will be more than worth it.
