Hello 100!
So today it’s supposed to be 100 degrees, goodbye to the rainy June weather we had, and hello to summer in Utah! We’ve recently realized we actually need to water our lawn again; the new seeding from the spring filled in great, but was getting a bit brown in places. The past month brought a trip to WI to visit my family, and… Read more →

Rain Rain Go Away!
Apparently I’ve moved to the desert, where it rains…A LOT!

The Love Bus
Driving my sister-in-law’s vehicle home after dropping her off at the airport last night was quite liberating.
