Well, I can't believe that it's already the middle of August! Time has really gone by fast. And I also can't believe that Delinda and I have made it to our year mark this month here in Atlanta, and we're still alive!Things here in the ATL are going well.I will be a little more happy when it's not so humid and hot though. And it's been raining like no body's business just about every day. I actually really like the storms here though, because it REALLY storms here. The lightning is great to watch- it can be scary at times! But it sure is green and pretty. Almost jungle like!
Delinda is back thank goodness and things are somewhat back to normal! She starts school next month and so it'll be back to being quiet and not bugging her while she's studying!
I've been able to get out and see and do a few things lately that have been fun. Last month I went to Chattanooga, TN for the day with Derek. If you don't already know about him, just email me and we'll talk. We went to the Aquarium there which was pretty impressive and then watched a IMAX movie on Sharks. It was a fun day trip and a great time to see more of this beautiful country we live in. I'm glad to live so close to so many different states. We're only about a couple hours drive from TN, SC, NC, FL & AL.
Also, Jill & Brent Woodson paid a visit up to the Atlanta area for two family reunions, and I was able to visit with them as well. I just love those guys, and their little Seth (who isn't that little anymore) is a cutie!
I just got back from a trip to Utah to see my little niece Courtney get blessed. Most of the family except for Shauna were there, so I got to see all the kiddies and John and Clau as well.
It was good see the gang; Andrea, Deb, Emily, Christina, Marin, Travis, Ryan & Kate. We got to go up to Hobble Creek and have a camp fire and hang out at the Hatch's property. We also got to take a drive up the Alpine Loop and also visited my parents in Logan. My friend Megan came with me so she could check out "Mecca" as she is investigating the Church, she also had a couple of people to visit as well. We (Andrea, Delinda and a friend Ben Bingham) took Megan to Temple Square and did all the "temple square" things. It was a good trip, but I was ready to get back to reality here in Atlanta. I'll attach some photos from the trip.
During Labor Day weekend, we're hoping to make a trip- well we ARE making a trip to see Jack Johnson in concert in Charleston, S.C. It's just a matter of who is going with Delinda and I. I ended up scoring 4 free tickets to the concert. Charleston is right close to the coast too and a historic town- so it should be tons of fun. Hopefully, more travel is in the books. I'm loving seeing my surroundings.
That's really about it for now. Thought I'd give an update in a nutshell. Life is good. And I'm grateful for all the many blessings I have in my life. This last year has really been a growing experience for me and I have learned so much about myself, the Gospel and just life in general. I feel so inadequate at times, but I am so grateful for all that I have and am blessed with. I have so many good people in my life and also have had so many good experiences that I couldn't be anything else BUT grateful.
