The Nielson Summer Adventure!

Well, now I know y'all thought we had fallen off the face of the earth. Not really but it was a whirlwind there for awhile. A few things have changed in the Nielson household. First-in June, Jenn defended her thesis-thank the good stars above! I am finally, officially, and undeniably finished with school (at least for now!) However, USU did offer me a full time job this fall, so life will not be that different except I will be only grading homework, not doing homework. A small distinction, but an important one!
Jared is busy selling homes like crazy. A good thing in this economy, but it is tough to be back to a schedule like newlyweds where he is not home very often. But-we will persevere!!
The family went to pageant once again. We were in NY for the month of July. It was rather cold this year (only in the mid 70's and I can live with that!) We got home and a week later, I flew to South Carolina to see Chris graduate from Basic Training. What a wonderful experience! I came home to be able to work on curriculum for a week or so and helped Jess move to Ephraim for school. The Meg went to band camp for a week, started school, kids went to day care, adjusted to a new routine, had friends stay for the weekend, decided my home was getting too quiet and then had my sister-in-law move in with her 4 children.
Yeah for the Nielson's and the way we love to party!! Any one else want to come stay?

P.S. Chris doesn't write anymore. I have his address for anyone who wants to write to him or send packages-he can get somethings now.
