Summer is finally here!!

Well summer is finally here...at least summer break! Gretchen was able to get a job at Mountain View Hospital and is very excited!! She has to be work at 5:30 am and that is definitely going to take some getting used to. I'm pretty sure I will have a regular nap scheduled each day after work haha. Kevin's job at Fall's Fertilizer is going well and he has successfully finished many (like 70) levels of PipeRoll. He tends to have some down time at work depending on the weather, but is still working hard! We have lots of fun trips planned this summer for vacations and fmaily reunions, and we couldn't be more excited. Wolf Creek with the Barber's, Copperbasin with the Reese's and Island Park with the Howard's. We also recently booked a trip to Las Vegas for our 1 year anniversary!  We can't believe we've been married almost a year but what a great one it has been!

Here's a nice picture of our adventures at copper basin last summer.  Gretchen's family has been going there for years and the memories we make there each year are great!  Kevin especially enjoyed playing in the mud and water last year.

It was Kevin's birthday is April and we went to Famous Dave's for his birthday dinner with our great friends Mary and Ty. 

 

With gas prices continuing to climb and the nice weather we have, most days at least, we decided to start riding our bikes to work and anywhere else we can. Kevin has quite the ride, it's about 10 miles round trip while Gretchen's is only about 6 miles. It's been lots of fun to go on bike rides at night and to take them other places we go around town. Our only complaint is that our landlord won't buy a bike rack and we can't lock our bikes on the rail coming up our stairs, so we have the bikes in our apartment. It can smell like a bike in our home but you get used to it after awhile haha.

 
Well, for now we are looking forward to Memorial Day weekend and the extra day off of work.  Soon we will have more pictures to share as our vacations are quickly approaching!
