We celebrated our second anniversary at the end of August, and what an eventful month it has been.
It started off with a trip to Moses Lake to play at the community pool with the Anderson family, and it was pretty cool. There were lots of slides, a little surfing area, a lazy river for floating, and diving boards. We had a great time, except for getting sunburned, and we brought Zach back to Cheney with us so we could drop him at the airport.
The same day that we took Zach (Courtney's younger brother) to the airport, my family flew up to visit us. Courtney could not get off work during the day to hang out with us (myself being unemployed had no problems getting that time off) and we visited some sights in Spokane and Couer'D alene. then my family set on down the road to visit other family members and go to a family reunion.
Next, we got set back up for a trip to Pasco to see Erin's wedding (Courtney's younger sister). It was a great trip, it was fun to see everyone again, and the wedding was a fabulous affair. We made off with tons of soup, bread bowls, otter pops, M&M's and a few other great things for us.
After all that traveling we decided to spend the rest of the month quietly. We went to see the new Harry Potter movie and we spent our anniversary eating at Chilli's, and we had a great old time.
Summer is almost up and I'll be heading back to class and my internship in Spokane, but life has been fun here, who knows where we will be next summer

The Salt Lake Trip
Last Saturday, we went to Salt Lake to see all the sights before leaving Utah. We thought we needed a last hooray before moving to Washington for the next couple of years. We left early in the morning and only drove aimlessly around the city looking for a parking place for a little while. We eventually found a place several blocks from Temple Square, and finally made our way in and got to the temple.
We looked around the grounds for a little bit while waiting for the session to start. We look only a little tired in these pictures.
After our session, we ate on Temple Square at the Nauvoo Cafe and had some fresh, hot sandwiches. We then hiked back to our car and made our way across town to the Hogle Zoo. Some of our favorite sights included the baby giraffe, the Killer Cute House Cat, the tiny owl (right out of Harry Potter), several different monkeys, and a rare white skinned, blue eyed alligator (there are only 10 in the world). The Zoo is also equipped with large misting fans to cool people down in the hot dry weather, which were very refreshing, especially since the zoo seemed to suffer from a serious lack of working drinking fountains.

After our tour of the Zoo, we noticed that we were right across the street from the "This is the Place" Monument, and it has been a little while since either of us had been there, we stopped and snapped a few pictures. By that time we were tired, so we jumped back in the car and drove home as fast as we could.

no news is good news???
It is summer time, and Courtney and Will are working hard. No school means lots more free time, and no BYU honor code, so Will has chosen to try out some previously forbidden styles. 
Will has started working at Chrysalis, where he watches three teenage boys that require supervision. He works three graveyard shifts each week, (midnight- 9 am) and he can't sleep, so to stay awake he watches tons of movies and plays video games on the TV at the Chrysalis house.
Courtney still makes missionary name tags and just finished the mission president blitz. About 300 new mission presidents were called this summer and they all needed 4 name tags (and their wives, children, dogs, hamsters... all needed 4 as well). So when they all got finished for the mission president seminar in Provo, we celebrated by getting blizzards from Dairy Queen.
With little time left in Provo before the move to Washington, we are trying to get the last amounts of fun out of Utah that we can. We're not sure exactly what that will be, but when we find out we'll post it up here.
