better late than never

Scott had is 28th birthday on June 22nd. We're a little late posting about it, but oh well! We had a ton of fun on Scott's birthday this year. Which is good because Scott always hates his birthdays. He tries so hard to not make them a big deal. So I try even harder to make them a big deal! On Saturday, June 21st, we went cliff diving with Scott's bud from college and his wife and a few other people. It was so fun! We had to hike a short distance to get there, which felt longer in the heat. When we got there it was just a narrow river surrounded by cliffs. We had a lot of fun. When we got home, we went to In-n-Out for dinner, and then to see the Incredible Hulk. Just what Scott wanted to do. Sunday, his actual birthday, I made him breakfast in bed. He opened all his presents and then we went to church. When we got home he took a long nap, and then we had a wonderful rib eye dinner. Some of our friends came over for cake and ice cream later that night. He told me it was a great birthday, nice and relaxing. Woo Hoo! It was a success! Happy Birthday Baby, I sure love you!

Happy Father's Day

We love our dads! They are the best dads in the whole world. I have lots of respect for both of them. Scott's dad is the regional financial controller over all of Africa and Europe for the church. They moved over to Germany two days after we got married. He is doing great over there! His German is getting pretty good too. What a fun adventure for him and Trudy. My dad found out that he has Lymphoma Cancer right after Thanksgiving 07. They started Chemo treatments right away. It was really hard for our family to take in. He's been really strong through the whole thing. He has hopefully finished his last series of treatments. He went in for testing last week and we will find out the results this week, and then we will know if he needs to continue the Chemo treatments. Our dads are definately the rocks of our families. We love you both very much! Thank you for everything!

Weekend in Utah

Last weekend we headed up to Utah to support Rafael's mexican restaurant, the restaurant where Scott and I met and fell in love. They closed down in January to move to a different location, and they still haven't opened back up. They've run out of money. So they decided to do an open house at their new place which is about 90% done. They served a small part of their menu, and then you paid whatever you felt it was worth. We had a lot fun. We went to the restaurant with Scott's brothers and their wives. It made us super home sick though to see all of our family, and not just our immediate family, but our family at Rafael's. The manager, Miguel, is a second dad. He has helped us out so many times! We love you Miggy-D! Sunday was the Andrewsen Family dinner. We had a lot of fun playing with our nieces and nephews! And Brent and Brenda's new puppy! We spent just a little bit of time with my family on Sunday. We still love you though! Monday we decided to trade in our Mazda 6, which if you read our previous post about our car problems you know this has been a long time coming! We traded it in for a Mazda 3, and so far we love it! No check engine light, AC still works, and no bikes have run into us! Knock on wood. It was a great weekend! We can't wait to go back!

Kylie's Mission Call

Two weeks ago my parents and my twin sister came down to Arizona for the weekend. While they were here the bishop texted my dad and told him that my sister's mission call had been mailed and should be there waiting for them when they got home Monday. My mom was debating whether or not to tell Kylie and get her hopes up. She decided not to tell her until they knew for sure if it was there. Well, when they got home Monday night there was nothing there. It finally came Wednesday. She had a some family and friends come over the watch her open it. Then she called Scott and me, and my brother and his wife who live in AZ, on two different cell phones. One phone plugged into each ear so that we could listen to her read it out loud when she opened it. She is going to Little Rock, Arkansas. She is very excited! She leaves September 3rd, I think. We are super excited for her as well. It will be such a great experience for her. Woo Hoo for Kylie! Love you lady!
