Since it has been a while from my last post, this will be an update about what happened this summer. There will be lots of pictures added soon, once we get our DSL working again. We just moved the other day into a new apatrtment and are still waiting for everything to start working! Since July 4th, we have taken 4 bigs trips.
Trip #1 - Oklahoma! (July 28th-July 31st)
This was an exciting time for a family reunion in Lawton, Oklahoma. It was my grandparents 65th wedding anniversary and it was my wife's first time visiting the state and meeting most of my relatives. It was quite a time being there, spending most of the time eating! Lauren and I shared a hotel room with my newlywed brother and his wife...which was very interesting to say the least! There will be lots of pictures posted soon from this trip.
Trip #2 - Orange County, California (August 5th-August 7th)
Unforutnately, this trip wasn't a planned as Lauren's grandmother was rushed into the hospital for an emergency operation. She made it through the operation and is currently recovering. Please keep her in your prayers as she is still recovery. It was a lot of fun to be able to spend time with Lauren's family as her brother was just getting ready to leave for New York to start law school at Columbia.
Trip #3 - San Jose, California (August 19th-August 21st)
This trip was a lot of fun as it was for our annual church conference entitled "Defying Gravity." It was a great spiritual time to get lots of teaching about how to live as a New Testament Chrisitian with everything that we have going on in our daily lives. Lauren and I got to take part in teaching a class for the middle schoolers in the church which was a lot of fun. There were about 120 middle schoolers there! We had a lot of fun though being down there and getting time to spend with a lot of friends as well.
Trip #4 - Kihei, Maui (August 30th-September 6th)
This trip was obviously a lot of fun! We went back to Maui where we had our honeymoon. We stayed in the smae resort hotel and had a blast! Most of the pictures that will be posted will be from this trip. It absolutely amazing being there. We experienced jet skis for the first time...which was a great time! We also drive up to the top of Haleakala, which is a dormant volcano that is 10, 026 feet high. We drive up for the sunrise (left our hotel at 3am) which was amazing seeing the sunrise above the clouds and other Hawaiian islands. We also got to snorkel again which was a lot fun, seeing amazing fish and sea turtles. the visibility in the water was 150 feet! We played tennis, spent lots of time on the beach, ate lots of great fish, did lots of shopping, and generally just had a great relaxing time. Hard to come back to moving!
That's about it for now. Lauren is back working in the ER and I start doing hearing screenings on preschoolers in the morning. Summer is officially over...but it was a summer to remember!

Sounds like you guys had a hectic summer, too! But a great one. It's funny that you went to Maui--our friends Clint and April went there for their honeymoon in early August. Would've been funny if you'd been there at the same time. ;o)
I'm glad to hear that Lauren's grandma is recovering!
I hope you guys don't have too much trouble adjusting back to the daily work schedule. That's always hard after a summer of fun! ;o)
