Since our last post, we have had a lot going on.
After we got home from Hawaii, Julie had her wisdom teeth taken out on July 29th. (Just so all of you know, the third day is the worst.) Her recovery took about a week, but is doing well.
From August 7-9, Julie and Brian participated in the stake's first ever Pioneer Trek. They wore pioneer outfits, pulled handcarts through the Santa Cruz mountains, slept under the stars, and did some square dancing. They had a great time and both had their testimonies strengthened.
That following Monday, Julie started volleyball. She had two practices a day, two hours each. She conditioned in the morning and actually practiced volleyball skills in the afternoon. She was sore for several days, but is now used to it.
From August 12-16, we went to Utah for the Lindhardt Family Reunion. Julie and Brian got to sleep in a chicken coop! We also participated in the talent show (where Julie and Brian sent texts to everyone), four wheeling to Snow Lake, and the big family kickball game.
On August 25, Julie and Brian started school. Julie's in her junior year and Brian's in the eighth grade at Oakwood. (Random fact: This year, there are 8 kids in Julie's grade!) For Julie, it's been a busy couple of weeks. She got a lead in the school play (Abby in Arsenic and Old Lace), is captain of the JV volleyball team (but is also playing varsity...long story), and is her seminary class president.
We are staying busy, but enjoying life!

Sounds like fun things are going on. It's nice to have fun things to keep you busy. Sounds like the summer was a great experience. Maybe one day I'll get a vacation!!
