Meisha

This November, Miesha

(because in high school, it was cool to name inanimate objects...)

Matilda the Oboe

Vidgronski "Vidski" the Plastic Tree

Shannon the Canon Etc. Etc.

Meisha gave up the ghost. She was my first car and not-so-trusted companion for the last year of college. In the time that Adam and I have been dating to married we've been in... (feel free to throw in some Jingle Bells tunes)...

One high-speed car chase

One tire flying off

Two ice-spin crashes

And....the final blow, a ball joint and CV joint failed at the same time cause the car to fall on top of its self and inch pathetically to the curb leaving behind a trail of twisted metal shavings and car tears.

Meh.

So long Miesha, drive down that highway to...heaven?

Destination D.C

Our current project: Adam and I realize that this is a window of opportunity summer. We aren't quite done with school, we don't have any kids, and we don't have any real furniture or property to take care of. So we're going to try and do internships in a neat place. Adam just got accepted into our school's internship program in Washington D.C. If anyone has advice for student summer apt hunting please let us know!

The Hike

Adam's turn planning the date. A hike. I'm thinking beautiful, quaint hike, sandwiches in the mountains, maybe break and pull out the sketchbook. This is what he had in mind:

climb up a mountain.

Adam and I are the two yellow helmeted ones at the bottom. This is where I flipped upside down at the top of the lip and my husband saved me.

Climb down a mountain.

and then swim out of it.

I layered my hands with emergency tape. These are the last few layers after the hike.

On the way I ate a rabbit, I threw my ring into Mt. Doom and flew away on an eagle.

Hours of hiking:

Miles of climbing:

Muscles trashed:

650

Amount of favors earned:

Priceless :)

Elder Jason Boy Big

My brother Jason just took off on a volunteer service mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

His visa didn't come in time so he had to start off at the Provo, UT Missionary Training Center (MTC) where he enjoyed the influx of packages from his sister.
