I have spent the last 8 weeks in school, with the last four being especially intense. I was counting the days down until August 14th the last day of Summer school. I could not wait to be done and just relax.
Well, I guess I did not realize how much I had already planned. We leave tomorrow 8.20 for a 5 day trip to Montana to visit my Grandma who is spending the summer with my Aunt & Uncle. We will be going to a MASH-themed hospital fund raiser and hopefully hiking through Glacier National Park. We have visited Glacier one other time, but it was March and there was a lot of snow still, so not much to see. It will be nice to spend some more time with Grandma, so Rusty and I can fight over who she loves more. He thinks it is him and I know it is me!
We get back to Portland on Monday and get to work all week, but then Saturday morning we leave for Utah. It will just be a short trip to Utah to get Rick and Amanda and bring them back to Portland. It sure will be nice to have some more friends here, since the departure of Erica and Landon and our neighbor Kelly. We miss you guys much here! We will leave Utah Sunday morning in the caravan so we can get back to Portland with minimal Labor Day Weekend traffic. If anyone has ever been in car with Rusty during traffic they know it is not pleasant! He is such a passionate person and I love that about him, but baby it is traffic and sometimes you just have to deal with it. No one likes sitting in traffic, trust me!
We will again be home for enough days to complete a full week of work and we are off to Chicago on 9.05. Rusty has to go to Madison, Wisconsin for work and we are flying in a day early to see my family. It should be fun to spend a few days in Madison. Portland reminds me of Madison, so we will have to see if what I remember is true. We return to Portland on 9.11, which gives us two and a half weeks until school starts!
I hope these next few weeks do not fly by too fast, because I have lots of wedding details to work out. I figure as long as we are out of school we can get some of the vendors booked. We will be making a trip to Carmel in December to finalize a few more things for the wedding and then we are off to HAWAII for Christmas! That is courtesy of Rusty's work! I swear he has the best job. We get to see my family and go to Hawaii for the cost of my airfare. I hope they have palm trees decorated with Christmas lights! I used to think I needed snow for it to feel like Christmas, but somehow I think palm trees will compensate just fine! I will post some pictures when we get back.

Sounds like so much fun!! We are missing you too! Have fun!
I am so glad you guys are going to have Rick and Amanda out there with you! You guys will have so much fun together! I have been worried about you guys since E and L left for Vegas, I didn't want you to be lonely!!
That picture pretty much sums up how my car will look. Also I have decided I don't like when you guys go on vacations because it limits the amount of phone conversations that we get to have.
