Where did our summer go?

I just realized I haven't posted for over 2 months--this summer has been just crazy busy!

June
Jill went to the cabin for the 9th year with her girlfriends.

Dan had his gallbladder out on June 14th which is also Cole & Kelsey's birthday. He feels much better now after being sick for a couple of weeks.

Dan had 12 semester hours this summer and tons of papers, posts, classes, and assignments.

We had 2 foster boys with us for 8 days. We learned a ton!

July
Attended Stadium of Fire with Brad Paisley and then stayed overnight in Provo, so we didn't have to mess with parking and the traffic jam to get home. Awesome event!

Nickell Family Reunion in the Uintas during the 24th of July weekend was really fun and a lot of hard work. Dad & Mom were able to come home from their mission for 6 days, since they were in charge of the reunion. Lot's of good food, games, activities, and good weather were present. It was good to see immediate as well as extended family.

We were able to finally buy our townhome--yahoo! From the start of the process to the day we closed was less than 2 weeks. We had an awesome mortgage guy at Republic Home Loans named Dustin, and we had an awesome real estate agent named Kathy at Prudential. It feels good for it to be officially ours---even though it has felt that way for the last several months but we knew it wasn't because we were paying rent.

Dan finished up his classes at the end of July which is early since the semester doesn't end until Aug 9. We'll take a trip to the cabin to celebrate being done with his summer classes. Now he is busy getting his classroom ready for school to start.
