Summer Time

We are still alive! This summer has just been so crazy.. We have been out of town so much! I can't believe the summer is over already. A few things we have been up to this summer:

-GRADUATION!

-Cruise to Mexico with the lady I work with

-Scott's first mountain bike race at Soldier Hollow

-Weekend trip to St. George with the Ahlstrom's

-Les Miserables at Capital Theater

-Trip to Colorado/ Moab with a few of our besties for a week

-Family reunion in Iowa with the Rodebush side of the family

-Family reunion in Beaver with the Sorensen side of the family

-Kyle spending the weekend in Provo with us

-Family trip to Lake Blaine with the Evanson's- getting to play on the lake with our nieces and nephews for a week

-Saying goodbye to a lot of our friends as they move for grad school and jobs

This summer really has been super fun but it has definitely been busy as well! We got to go on lots of awesome trips the past couple of months. The worst part of the summer was saying goodbye to so many of our best friends. It has been a big change for us because we have been in the same ward since we have been married and have had such an amazing group of friends this whole time. We look forward to traveling to different parts of the country to visit all our friends!

* I have been a total slacker with taking pictures this summer so I'm sorry for the lack of pics. Here are a few though.*

We will miss you!

My great grandma, Grandma Mimi, passed away last night. She was 97 years old and lived a long and happy life. It was fun knowing Grandma Mimi so well because so many people don't ever get to meet their great grandparents. Although she was old and it was her time to go, we will miss her so so much! We love and will miss you Grandma!

re-DIRK-ulous.

The past several weeks have been spent watching the NBA playoff games almost every other day or however often there were games on. It has actually been a lot of fun though! Scott and I both enjoy watching sports so it is fun to watch them together and with our friends! Scott also got to go to game 4 of the finals in Dallas and had a BLAST!! I, of course, was super jealous but was glad he had such a great time. Well.. yesterday it all came to an end! I was hoping for the OKC thunder to win it all but the Mavs were the next best team to win it and I think Dirk and the other players on the Mavs deserved a win! I guess we will have a break from watching sports on t.v. for a while since we all know no one would want to watch baseball on t.v.! I guess we will be awaiting football season to start!

Les Miserables

On Saturday Scott and I got to have such a fun date.. Scott's favorite Broadway is Les Miserables and for Christmas my parents surprised us with tickets to go see it at Capital Theater! We have been awaiting this weekend for several months!! We also ate at Takashi, Scott's favorite sushi restaurant that I had never even been to.. and of course it was a hit. The show was so amazing and we just had such a blast together! Here are a few pics from the night! p.s. Thanks again mom and dad for the tix! It made for a memorable night for sure!!

Graduation!!!

Scott and I finally graduated! Scott has a couple of classes left, but he was able to walk with me. He wasn't too excited to walk in graduation, but after the fact I think he is glad that he did. It was so fun to get to walk together and have all our family there. We had such a blast! It doesn't actually seem like we are done.. we have both been at BYU for so long! I think it will feel more weird in the fall when I am not taking classes. The plan now: I am going to continue working at Chrysalis and I am working as an athletic trainer for summer sports camps at BYU through the summer. I will most likely start looking for a "real job" in the next month or so and hopefully start somewhere in the fall. Scott will continue working at Response and finish his last couple classes and he will be officially done in December. We are excited (and a bit nervous) about starting a new phase of life!!

p.s. I tried to add more pictures but blogger was having problems! Maybe Scott can help me figure it out later and then we will put up more grad pics!

Heather Evanson, ATC

A few weeks ago I took my certification exam for athletic training so that I could be a certified athletic trainer (ATC). It's a pretty big deal (and when I say pretty big deal.. I mean huge deal) because if you don't pass, you can't practice as an athletic trainer. It's the kind of test that no one feels good about after taking because you think for sure that you failed.

I have been waiting for the results for 2 and a half weeks! Well, yesterday we were at our friends, the Harts, and I looked at my phone and realized I had gotten an email. I opened my email and the subject was, "BOC pass/fail results posted." My heart started pounding and I was so nervous. I opened up the email and...

I PASSED!!

It is just such a relief and I am so grateful that I passed. I was really worried I was going to have to continue studying and take it again in June so I am glad I don't have to do that!

I can't believe that...

3 years ago today Scott and I got engaged!!

It seriously does not seem like it was that long ago.. It has been an amazing 3 years though with so many fun memories! Scott is just the sweetest and best husband anyone could ask for (sorry to be mushy.. but it's true)!
