I haven't blogged in awhile.  Here is a quick re-cap of our past few weeks.

- We are enjoying having Daddy around before he leaves for the month of July.  We redeemed our "Pass of All Passes" and have been going to Seven Peaks, Trafalga, Planet Play, and also spending time at Liberty Park, the library and lots of outside time.  At Trafalga, we rode the Bumper Boats, and they shoot a stream of water.  I boxed Nate in and shot him for like 2 minutes straight with water.  It was so hilarious.  Sorry, Honey!

- On Tuesday, we went to Salem/Provo to eat a yummy dinner at Brick Oven.  My cousin, Katie, entered the MTC yesterday!  It was great to see her and Deon.  She is going to be an awesome missionary!  I am jealous.  I'd go again in a heartbeat!

- Nate and I set up a date swap with some friends here, so we have been able to go out a lot lately!  We got to eat Korean food, see Iron Man 3 and Now You See Me (both were SO good!).  Last night we went to the Gateway and had a blast.

- I just got tickets to go to Oregon in July.  Just a little getaway to keep me sane while I'm a single mom for the month of July!  I am also going to see John Mayer with Nikki while I'm there.  It will be amazing!

- Primary is going wonderfully!  Our Presidency works well together, and overall, it's running smoothly.  I love our sweet children so much.  They already know so much about the Gospel.  I love being with them every Sunday.

- Cameron earned his blue belt in TKD.  He does such a good job at all the moves, but he is starting to lose interest in it.  :(  I hope it picks up again soon because he's starting to get to the really fun, cool stuff!

- For Father's Day, we went to Nate's grandpa's house for the annual bbq.  Yum!  Potato chips dipped in a chocolate fountain is so delicious.  We spent some time chatting with Missy and Casey, which was really fun.  We love those two!

- I'm getting lots of running in before July, too.  I try to run Bonneville 2 days a week.  I probably won't be here next summer (crazy!), so I'm taking advantage of living a mile from the mountains.

- NO major details here, but Nate and I had an experience that threatened to harm our relationship, but through the loving grace and goodness of Christ, it brought us closer together.  I have learned things about repentance and forgiveness, and I feel so so SO humbled and grateful.  It is NEVER too late to change and become better.  But I can also promise you that ignoring the promptings of the Holy Ghost will NOT result in true happiness.  For awhile, you'll think you're doing okay, but it's not okay.  It's not worth it.  I have a firm testimony of that now.  And it's not easy!  Prayer and scripture study are essential to keeping close to the Spirit and being able to resist Satan's grasp.  I am grateful for Nate and his maturity.  He is a wonderful man, who was quick to forgive some of my weaknesses.  The Gospel made that possible.

And finally, I love this:
