May, June, and July 2016.

What a crazy couple of months!

In April I started my LAST semester of my undergraduate degree. Thankfully, it was my easiest semester and how grateful I was for that. I also got another round of straight A's bringing my final GPA to 3.76, I can be proud of that.

May
I also started working again at the beginning of May. The company is called Contract Laboratory and I am doing their social media marketing which is fun! I've also just started getting into a little more of their web development. I am only working 2 days a week in the office, and then 5-6 hours from home a week. I am really enjoying that I still get to be home with Spencer!
For Memorial Day we went fishing with my dad in Caldwell. I caught a fish, then my dad caught a frog, and then Nate caught a fish all within 5 minutes.

he wasn't too sure about holding the fish.

Nate also had a run in with the neighbors' basketball hoop above the mailbox. He ripped his bike right off the roof rack on the truck and had to replace the fork. He wasn't so happy about that.

June

In June we took a couple of trips to Meridian Speedway with our friends which Spencer loved! We spent a LOT of time at Lakeview pool with and without our friends, its the perfect pool for little kids and its close and only costs $4 for me and Spence to get in.

at the speedway.

watching the races, the Barnes' were nice enough to share their cotton candy with him, though we wasn't sure what to think of it.

I also took a quick overnight trip to Utah for my best friend Kelli's wedding! It was so fun and I stayed the night with my friend Melissa from high school and it was so great to catch up with her!!
The next day I even got to do some quick shopping by.my.self!

July
July was another fun and busy month! We went to my grandmas in McCall to pick huckleberries with Nate's sister and her family, and his newly married brother and his wife. It was a quick trip and even though we got rained on we still had fun. We love McCall and can't wait to find more time to go back!

For my birthday this year....we got new floors! Last year for my birthday it was new floors in the living room and hall, this year it was the bedrooms getting recarpeted! This was the last "major" thing we wanted to do inside so it's looking good!

when your mattress is as big as your living room...

I ran in the Boise Women's Classic 5k and didn't train nearly as much as I s







hould have. Though I PRed at about 35 minutes (slooooow) I puked as soon as I crossed the finish line.

And lastly, on July 20, 2016 I graduated from college (but that deserves a separate post)!


A final note I just want to add for my own memory's sake...before we left for graduation/Yellowstone at the end of July I had taken a pregnancy test and gotten that faint positive line. It was still a little early so I didn't get too excited and we went on our trip. Part way through the trip I had some spotting and assumed it was just signs of my upcoming cycle. When we got back to civilization (if you can call Rexburg civilization) there was more spotting so I took another test, it looked negative. By the time we got home I was 3 days overdue and had a "feeling" similar to when I knew I was pregnant with Spencer. I took another test and this one was clearly positive. We were beyond excited! I calculated that I was probably about 5-6 weeks. The next morning I woke up to a lot of blood and clots. The disappoint that I wasn't pregnant was heavy. I don't know if it is considered a "loss" as it was so early and technically just a chemical pregnancy, but it was a little heart breaking to go from extreme excitement one day, to the exact opposite the next.

So a little depressed, but ready to enjoy the rest of my now homework free summer and the last few trips we have planned!!
