Crazy Summer

Rick and I have had a crazy summer that boils down to:

Rick attending summer school and working in a reasearch lab at ASU.

Rick has been applying for dental schools.

Christie's Aunt Julie graduating from University of Phoenix. We are so proud of her and her hard work!

Christie hurting her knee. We are not quite sure what happend....

The air conditioning in Christie's car going out (not a good thing to happen in July in Arizona)!

The transmission going out in Rick's truck.

The air conditioning in Rick's truck going out (and of course this happened on the hottest day of the summer, July 4th) and continually having problems, we just got it out of the shop again and hopefully it will now stay out of the shop.

Christie's brother Jeff getting married to Camille Packer. (This also includes Rick going to the beach for the first time since we have been married. We're not sure how come it took 3 years to get him to the beach, but he loved it!)

Christie's cousin being diagnosed with cancer.

Christie and her Aunt Julie going to San Diego to visit her mom and sister for a "Girl's Weekend".

Rick's brother Steven getting married to Amand Terrill.

Going to Christie's brother's reception and open house in Newport Beach and San Diego. (Yes, Rick made it to the beach again!)

The air conditioning going out in Christie's car (yes, again!) and the driver's side window breaking on the same day.

Going to a Diamondbacks vs. Cubs game with Christie's co-workers and their spouses. The game was a lot of fun, getting up the 25 rows to our seats was not so much fun. Diamondbacks won!

Christie going through a week of physical therapy and then having surgery on her knee. (The hurt knee caused quite a long summer! Rick has had to drive her to and from work everyday, and everywhere in between.)

Who knows what else I am forgetting, but needless to say we have been very busy. We really enjoyed all the time we got to spend with family though, and loved seeing everyone again.

I'm so jealous that you had a fabulous time in SD. Your photos are tempting me to move there! Sounds like you have had a packed full summer. Rex and Ella can't wait to see Uncle Rick soon.

That is one crazy Summer!!! I think Dave and I were there for most of the car problems :) Hopefully they are over for now! I am so glad you had so much fun in San Diego. I loved your slide show too! I hope your knee is feeling better!
