Sometimes People Update their Blogs...

...and this time, that person is me. So, I've been doing pretty much a lot of things that don't seem important during the last two months of not updating my blog, but in the end they really were quite fun. For example, I spent my summer swimming a lot, visiting home twice, playing with my nephew, reading kids books, organizing my library (still in-process), pretending to do social-workey type things, hiking, making some skirts and blankets and tablecloths etc., and...so on. Lots of stuff. Fun stuff. Stuff of nothingness, and yet I've been able to fill up a journal about it. Good times. Now school is about to start and when I put my schedule into my Palmy I wanted to pass out. Busy. But only nine more months of busy, and then busy no more. =] Supposedly.

I made my mom stop by the Excalibur when we stopped at Vegas. It wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be (for instance, I merely assumed that seeing knights with lances gallivanting around would be a common sight--sadly, at 10pm they are not), but the Luxor didn't disappoint. Aside from the Sphinx, the inside was really great--you can see the rooms going up towards the top in an inverted pyramid shape.

My nephew Chase, splashing in the pool. So cute!

I spoiled Chase at Macy's and got him an ice cream cone. They have these little ones for babies that cost a quarter. I decided I should be somewhat responsible, so I put the bib on him while we shopped.

My brother Mike and me at the Bountiful Temple, for our cousin Angela's wedding. When the reception was almost over we realized that no one had decorated the car. Not only that, but we had no supplies for the job! That wouldn't do at all. We collected ribbons from the vases on the tables and I broke out my coverup. Here's the end result:

Kind of Classy, huh? I thought so.

Anyhow, I'll try to be better about updating. Meanwhile, enjoy the meteor shower. =]
