It's smoky here in Provo. There seem to be fires all over the state, and every day (or so it seems) I hear about new forced or recommended evacuations. We're praying for rain and cooler weather to help the firemen put out those fires, but the forecast isn't looking good. Keep those who have been affected in your prayers!
On a lighter note, my little brother, Michael, is here! He came up today for EFY next week, straight off of his Scouting "High Adventure" trip. After he goes to EFY next week, he'll be staying with us for a week -- yay! We're so excited to have him around, but we're pretty sure he'll figure out soon enough that we're really pretty boring people. Hopefully we can keep him entertained.
Also, I have found my next food project to tackle: Homemade Snickers. We'll see if it really happens as soon as I'd like it to, but this recipe sounds AMAZING! And it makes a whole 9x13 pan of Snickers. Yum!! http://www.howsweeteats.com/2012/01/homemade-snickers-bars/

Other pictures from our anniversary celebrations
We had a ton of fun celebrating our first anniversary. A picnic, relaxing together, and some great gifts & treats made the whole thing a lot of fun. Here are some pictures we took throughout the day.
As promised, pictures from our anniversary
Hi there again. It's been a while. Sorry about that. Now that summer vacation is in full swing here, life has definitely fallen into a rather uneventful routine. We're loving life still, though, don't worry. Here's a quick synopsis of our life over the last month:
Darren finished up his Spring term Accounting class, and Michelle is still working as an editor. She also started working as a nanny/babysitter/mommy's aid for her cousin, Tara, which so far has been a ton of fun. We participated in the Springville Art City Days 5k a few weekends ago, which was quite a feat for us! Neither of us is particularly into running, so we walked most of the 5k (ran about 2 blocks of it, total) and finished under our goal time! Woo hoo!
We're planning a trip out to California & Washington next month, which should be great. We're so excited to see Michelle's family -- including her brother, John, and his fiancee, who will both be up there when we are -- and spend some time relaxing in the cooler weather WA has to offer in mid-July.
And . . . that's about it, really. Still lots of cooking and projects going on around here. Michelle is bored fairly easily, so things in the apartment keep getting rearranged and re-organized, and there's plenty of baking going on, too. Now, on to the promised pictures from our anniversary trip!
