Recent Happenings

The last few months have been busy! Here are some pictures of our new apartment that Dusty mentioned in his last post:

the bathroom


the bathroom continued. 

At first I (Mindy) really, really, REALLY didn't like our apartment, but the longer we live her the more I am ok with it.  The man who lived here before us was a P.I.G. and didn't clean when he moved out, so when we moved in we had to clean it all up.  But, we love being downtown because we can walk to lots of great places. The other night while walking to Whole Foods for dinner we found a hidden garden in the middle of a block. We also found a great pool to get a pass to this summer, so that Dusty could finally get some sun after working in a library for a few years. The poor man still had to use tons of sunscreen at the end of the summer or else he fried so fast I swear you could hear his skin crackle. 

At the end of the summer (or the first week of school in my case) Randy and Susie invited us up for the best vacation ever! Here are some highlights of our trip: 


making Dusty's birthday dinner
(we had carne asada)


look at how big mr. Cole is now!


Randy is my favorite father-in-law (and my only one)


eating birthday dessert <3


we went to visit Klane and Amy at their club house on Lake Washington. this is a video of Dusty jumping of the 20m platform. I was the official video taker. after one jump in the water I was done for the entire day. Washington sun does not dry you as fast at Utah sun does and I was freezing!!


a candid family shot after our day at the lake


olive garden to celebrate my good grades. yes, its true, I get better grades than Dusty :)


a lovely night of family bowling where Cole whooped up on everyone and I think I barely got a 70. 

Every trip to Washington just gets better and better. Dusty loves visiting and Washington feels more like home to me every time we go. If I had to pick between Washington and Utah, despite the weak sun, I think I would pick Washington every time.
