Since I posted last I saw my d.h. off for a 6 month deployment (in May), finished summer school, and took a 3 week vacation to visit family back home. I can't say much about d.h's deployment (at least not online), except that he will be coming home around the beginning of November! Yipee!!! Summer school was harder than I expected for a bunch of 100 and 200 level classes - astronomy, psychology, and art in the humanities...but I finished off the quarter with great grades. As for the vacation....man was I busy!
I drove down to SLC with my mom and sister to visit more family and shop. I think I had the most fun at Taipan, a home decor store in Sandy (just outside of SLC), which was recommended to me by my mother-in-law. It was also nice to meet back up with family I haven't seen in well over a year...or two. I also visited my grandma in Twin Falls and traveled through the Yellowstone and Grand Teton National parks with my dad. Here a few pictures from the trip:
Yellowstone Lake
The River
Upper Falls in Yellowstone Park
A bunch of bison crossing the road. (We also saw deer and elk while we were there)
Old Faithful erupting
A view of the tetons on the way out of Yellowstone

Oh yeah...I also ran Bloomsday (a 12K in Spokane) and the San Juan Island 1/2 marathon shortly after d.h. left. Below is a picture of the coast (near where we ran) and a picture of my friend and I after the race.
Well, that's all for now. I'll do my best to reupdate by the upcoming weekend!
