6 months now married... and happier than ever!

Dave and I were talking just yesterday about how we have already been married for 6 months, yet it feels like we have been married for a very long time - we are 'old and experienced' now. Must have something to do with how long we have actually known each other. But, we did it! And are just as happy as we were as when we were first married. Happy 6 months, David!

Things are going pretty good, at least for me, now that I am out of school for the summer and feel as if I have way too much time to try and fill (I have turned to doing some yard work in the mornings to pass the time...). But this sudden freedom will not last long as I will be back in school as soon as Fall semester begins - however I try not to think about that at this point.

Dave, on the other hand, has been struggling with the (swine?) flu over the past few days. Coughing, sneezing, fever, headaches, he has the works - poor guy. I've been trying to keep him comfortable but there is only so much that you can do. Looking on the bright side, I think things are looking up since he is feeling a little better every day. Apart from his illness, he is doing great - happy and full of fun as he always is.

We just got back from an AWESOME rafting trip over the weekend with the family. Here are a few pics to give you an idea of what happened for those who weren't there - lots of fun and lots of cold water!

We hadn't even started our trip and Preston was already armed and ready!

One fun thing about this year is that Lora and Kimball's kids were old enough to man their own raft so we had "The Cool Raft", and then the kids' raft. :)

Me and my cute husband!

Having fun and full of smiles! Dad was a good sport and definitely picked the most water-fights out of anyone in the group.

Austin fulfilled the role of the raft's motor, and Tori's scream would alert all the fishermen/rafts that we were on our way - both are always lots of fun to have along!

Last, but not least, Kimball and Lora in their sweet shades! Unfortunately Kimball's were claimed by the river only moments later...

P.S. Thanks to these two who planed the trip - you guys are awesome and always make things fun and memorable. Thank you, thank you!

Hope you are all doing well. We hope you have a safe 4th of July weekend!

This isn't a very good picture, but Austin and I got into a punching war one night and this is what happened to him! His hand was pretty swollen and his arm looked like he was hit by a tank. Ya that's right, I'm a tank :) He was a good sport though for his first time.

Last month Julie and I took on mowing Mom's lawn. It would take us about an hour and a half, one person mowing, one person edging/weed wacking. It was a lot of fun though. Julie is always up for doing service projects like that. Then Mom showed us some of her little trinkets and McDonald's toys.

This is what I look like with a mustache! I left it on just for church and it was really funny to talk to people and know they were starring at it but didn't want to say anything to me. Julie's mom noticed it first thing when I walked into the chapel and started pointing at her upper lip in digust :) It was fun.

Jorgen and his soon to be Mrs... Go Jorgen :)

Playing football with the boys at a family picnic.

Memorial Day. We were able to find Grandpa Jensen's grave and edged it.

Julie working on her art homework. She usually takes over the kitchen. She has also started teaching art lessons to kids on tuesdays. That has been her goal for a while and it is fun to see it actually start happening.

Julie and I went to Lake Powell for a few days with her family. They brought their boat and we rented two jet ski's. It was a really fun trip.

On our way home from Lake Powell we road a ferry to cut an hour and a half off our drive home and it was well worth it.
