August 2012

Let's see what the end of the summer brought our way:

Logan Canyon Camping Trip July 24th Weekend
The girls and I decided we wanted to go camping and Max and Hillary were both game! We loaded up and found a great spot up Right Hand Fork to set up. We roasted hot dogs and made s'mores and after the girls went to bed, the grown-ups stayed up chatting. It was a lot of fun!

Just some regular ol' summer fun!

Weekend Camping Trip to Mantua with Sarah and Joe and Richard and Pamela - August 24, 2012 

Evelyn and Sophia play so well together. This was a play that they made up and performed for me

We went with Jill and Saige to the stake swim party at the Aquatic Center - August 30, 2011

We hang out with Jill and Saige a lot. I taught Saige at Little Wonders and Jill and I became friends because we have so much in common, and our daughters love each other. Well, she finally talked me into setting up an online profile on ldslinkup.com. GAG. I have been hesitant because, frankly, there are weirdos roaming around out there and after being single for one year I was just opening myself up to the idea of dating again and didn't want to date any psychopathic criminals masquerading as Mr. Nice Guy. But for some reason or another I found myself plopped on her couch one night with the girls watching My Little Pony on the floor as we tried to make myself sound remotely interesting for the leagues of available men on the hunt (not that I enjoyed the thought of being hunted). I did think that, if anything, I would have some funny stories to tell my brothers at Sunday family dinners. And I did end up getting proposed to right off the bat by someone in Peru who claimed I was his long lost eternal companion...and a fresh out of the big house guy asked me down to his house for the weekend (which I declined) but then after about a week this nice looking guy from California showed up on my page....
Aaron Jackson. From Phelan, CA. Nursing student. Widower. 
We exchanged information and started texting and talking. Turns out we have a lot in common. Who knows..
