Over the past 4 months...

So, we have some serious catching up to do. Here are the highlights of the past 4 months:

- Danny and I celebrating our 5 year anniversary... we went horseback riding on the beach and went to dinner. It was heaven!

- Spending a blissful week in Park City, UT for the Wood family reunion. We stayed in the most gorgeous cabin ever (thanks Meeks!), ate great food, played games, went shopping, went to a wedding, went to our dear friends' baby blessing (Matt, Maddie, and Wells... we miss you guys!), had bonfires, took family pictures, and just had a blast! I have the best in-laws!!! Love you all.

- Going to Table Rock Lake, MO for the Duffy family reunion. We went wake boarding, tubing, stayed up late playing games, trips to the berry farm, shopped, went paint balling, relaxed at the pool, and went cliff jumping. Although it was so hot and humid... it was awesome. Definitely the best location we've chosen! We can't wait to go back in 2 years! We miss you all so much already!

- Chloe's two bottom teeth came in, and she looks ADORABLE.

- Spending several days sewing and making clothes... and totally neglecting Chloe! Sewing is so much fun and so addicting, and it's great because now I have a few cute skirts to wear!

- An impromptu trip to Austin, TX to visit Brandon and Liz. Okay guys, seriously that was a blast and we miss you all so much! Let's just call that the week of eating like kings. The amount of restaurants we ate at was ridiculous, yet amazing. We also went boating, shopping, barbecued, and went swimming at some natural springs... Austin is such a neat city, we loved it!

- Our big move to Arizona! I can't believe we live here now. It is a million degrees.

- Chloe is starting to crawl, and it is hilarious.

- Danny starting medical school! I am SO proud of him. Although he is so incredibly busy, and I'm adjusting to life as a single mom... we are both so happy because we know that this is the best thing that we could be doing. And even though he is studying ALL THE TIME, he is seriously loving it. We have really been so blessed. And I have made some great friends already, which has been so much fun!

- Chloe got a beautiful new crib, and her room is way cute.

- Danny getting the ipad 2, and now his life is complete. He's obsessed.

Well, that pretty much sums up our summer and beginning of the school year. It was amazing! Here are some pics:
