What better time

to update that on a Fast Sunday morning? My overactive appetite was upset before I sat up out of bed, so of course any distractions that are still Sunday appropriate are completely welcome. It is good, because I am so bad at this.

Scott has been flourishing in his internship. He has really thrown his whole heart into the thing. I worry a bit because he works SO hard, and I still want him to have an enjoyable Summer. I fear sometimes he has adopted a little too much my neurotic "must work hard" ways. He is just a happy guy, and I don't want him to lose any of that, so keep your fingers crossed for me :). Really though, I am so so proud of him, he is doing a great job. He transcribes sessions, does some data entry, gets to watch live sessions and discuss them with the Grad Students at the University and has been reading all of the textbooks and taken scrupulous notes on them. He has read three grad school textbooks in the last month- he is just such a go-getter! I can't even read my regular textbooks in one semester!

I've been working at Tamura Corporation, and enjoying myself for the most part. I am in charge mostly of purchasing and shipping, so not too bad. I work in a room with two other funny ladies and we have a good enough time, so I can't complain too much, but its still a job so I can't say I am having the time of my life, ha ha. I have been listening to my IPod at work, which helps pass the time. I listen to the Glee soundtrack, and then I also listen to this great little podcast called "The Stuff you Missed in History Class." It is really entertaining, and I encourage you all to look it up, particularly the episode entitled, "Who was the Emperor of the United States?"

We have spent our Fourth of July weekend relaxing, may head over to the beach tomorrow, but for the most part just enjoying ourselves quietly and around town. We went to the ward picnic yesterday, which was a lot of fun, and spent some time with our couple friends the Gillespies. We are the only two young couples sans kids in the ward, so we made an instant friendship and have been enjoying their company.

One last note about the ward picnic- I had a blast, it was a simple event, but there were so many little kids running around doing the cutest things I was thoroughly entertained, and I was blessed at the end of the event because I was asked to help out in Nursery today...let's just hope the kids are still as cute today as they were last night ;)

All our love- Seven weeks til Logan-
