I guess there's a lot that I haven't posted on here. But I'll try to update you on what we've been doing for the past three months.
After driving 20 hours from Texas, we stopped at Lake Powell and camped over night and had fun tubing and boating with Lance's family. Don't worry, I never fell off, and the baby loved tubing.
Lance and Kelly almost got struck by lightning when they were cliff jumping, a huge storm came right after.
I had to put this picture in . . . I thought it was so funny. The boat ran out of gas and we had to have someone tow us in and we started going and I had no idea where Lance was, I finally looked behind the boat and he was just hanging on the back! He said his arms were sore after, what a baby! ha ha
We had a lot of car problems this summer: I'll just explain a few. First off Lance's transmission broke, we were deciding if we wanted to fix it or just buy a new car, we decided to just fix it since Lance didn't want to be car shopping during the summer when he's supposed to be working the hardest. So we fixed that for 3,000 dollars! So while the car was being fixed I had to walk to work (it was just like a 10 minute walk) in the Texas heat and humidity! The car took forever because they accidentally put in the wrong part. While he was waiting for his car to be fixed he used my sisters that she let me borrow for the summer. While he was driving her car he got in a wreck and totaled her car!!! We had to use a rental car after that, finally we got back Lance's car and were so happy to have it back. About a week later, on our way home to Utah a tire blew we were happy that it was just a tire and not anything huge. We made it to Kanab and were so happy to be done driving for a little bit. After Kanab, we were on our way back to Sandy and after driving so many miles from Texas the car started making these loud noises, a couple minutes later something flew out the bottom of the car and the car stopped working!! To make a long story short, we ended up getting a ride from my dad in his truck back to Sandy. The car would have needed a new engine and it wasn't worth it! It probably sounds like I'm whining about the car problems, but we just laugh about it now, it just seemed crazy that that much could happen in one summer! But it really did help me to be able to just laugh about problems and not let them ruin my life. (sorry that was so long!)
Here's the good news . . . We bought our first house! It's in Lehi close to Thanksgiving Point. We're so excited and we should be closing on it hopefully next week. I'll have to put up more pictures when we get some. Lance just barely started recruiting for Living Scriptures now and I've been teaching a 2nd grade class while the teacher is having health problems. It's been fun because it's like having my own class but I won't have to go back after I have the baby. I'm there till November 7, I'm due on the 12th so hopefully I won't go into labor while I'm teaching! The baby should come in a few weeks and we're so excited! I'll probably post a pregnant pic on here next time, but if you can imagine my stomach 5 times its normal size that's what it looks like, it's getting pretty big :)
