Random Stuff, with Pictures

Proof we were in Chicago with Marisa and Travis on the 4th of July: the Bean in Millenium Park.

We went to the Field Museum and got to see Sue, the most complete and largest T-Rex ever discovered.

We got to watch a 3-D movie about Sue, the glasses were fun, the 3-D was not. Apparently 3-D movies make me motion sick...like so many other things. I made sure to take dramamine before the boat tour.

Me and Dave in the Bean's reflection. Notice the smears on the bean, it rained off and on while we were there. I personally think they need to polish the Bean.

Me and Dave and Caitlin's June 12 Wedding. Dave was supposed to smile nicely for the camera. This is what he was really doing.

Random Stuff (like Ashley)

Well, I was going to post some pictures, but it won't read my SD card for some reason.

Here are some random things for you:

1. We are no longer going to Germany next year. We couldn't find funding for Dave and we didn't want to live apart for a year. I'm sad not to go, but HAPPY to stay with my cute husband.
2. We move July 31. I've been in this apartment since 2005, so we have WAY too much stuff to move. It has turned out to be a very inconvenient move, but we are excited to move into town and be in a duplex next to our friends, Danny and Jenika.
3. I have not seen the latest Twilight movie. I actually can't stand them, I only go see them out of morbid curiosity.
4. We went to the temple in Nauvoo on Saturday. While driving there a naked man ran past us. We called the police to make sure he was taken care of. So weird!

Kids (Dave) say (says) the darndest things!

I don't have a toddler to post about, but I do have a husband! Before we drove to Chicago last weekend to visit Marisa and Travis I asked Dave if he wanted any lunch. This was his response:

"I had cereal and pickles. I'm fine."

Really? That sounds disgusting, but that's what he had for breakfast.

One Year Anniversary Trip

For our one year anniversary (May 30) Dave and I went to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. We thought we would try to have a trip to Mexico that wouldn't include a trip to the Mexican ER. If you've forgotten we went to Cancun for our honeymoon, but I fell and broke my foot. One year and one foot surgery later we had a very fun trip. It was full of lots of lounging around, reading books and getting sunburned. Last time we went on lots of tours and did lots of sight-seeing. This time we stayed at the resort. We've decided we are the type of vacationers who would like something in between.

When we returned from Mexico we went straight to my parents' house for Caitlin's June 12 wedding. Mom and Dad were kind enough to save the top tier of our wedding cake, so we let that defrost and had a bite or two. It wasn't that delicious or disgusting, so after doing our one year duty, we threw the rest away.

My husband is sMrt!

Dave passed the foreign service exam! Hooray! Now he has to write some more essays and we'll see if he gets invited for interviews. This is a long process, we won't know until at least September.

Another Semester Ends

The semester is over once again. I survived writing final papers, have completed all my grading and am now prepping for summer teaching. Dave and I took a little time this weekend to go to his cohort's graduation. These are the students Dave would have graduated with, but he's doing a dual degree so he'll graduate next year. Here are a few pics from graduation.
