We are BACK!

Kara went to Youth Conference. We went River Rafting down the Colorado River. It was a BLAST! There was a family visiting from Paris for a few days so one of the river guides carved the family out of a watermelon.



The Fugate boys and Tim went on a motorcycle trip to Bear Lake. I am so proud of Tim for being brave and going. He is deathly afraid of motorcycles!! Everybody ended up having alot of fun

Rodeo...Bees Game

On the 24th of July we went to the Bees game with Reagan and Angie, Trevor and Sarah, & Drew and Katie. It was a fun game, there was a really good fireworks show afterwards that we went out onto the baseball field to watch. Tim and I went to the Bees game on the 4th of July as well, but that one wasn't as fun. It was SOOO crowded, we always get seats on the burm (grass behind the outfield) because its cheaper and more comfortable and on the 4th there was not a single piece of grass for us to sit on! We ended up sitting on the sidewalk behind people that would not sit down, so we didn't get to see any of the game. The firework show that night wasn't as good as the one on the 24th.

I have to bunch all of my exciting life onto this blog at one time since I don't have internet at home. So our last two weeks have been fun, we actually did something worth blogging about. On Monday we went to the Spanish Fork Rodeo. I have been going to this rodeo since I can remember only missing it a few times. My Fugate grandparents are originally from Spanish Fork so they came with us. This rodeo is the coolest one ever! They include some different events besides the common bull ride, bareback, etc. There is mutton bustin' where little kids ride sheep, and the trailor race where big fat men race to saddle and ride a horse (or donkey) it is so funny. I didn't get any pictures of the rodeo, just Tim and I afterwards-not in cowboy clothes I regrettably add.

Girls Camp

This is the whole gang. Plus the bishopric. We join with another ward since both of us have such small young women groups. This picture is kind of blurry-my camera is having issues and so is this font, I don't know why it changed colors all of the sudden. This is Sheryn my first councilor, she is great. In this picture she is finishing off the fruit salad for us. Waste not, want not!

I went to girls camp last weekend with the young women out by Scofield Reservoir. It was so much fun. I have never been out to Scofield and it was awesome, so pretty and quiet. We didn't get to go boating or anything just camping at a nearby stake owned campground. My girls are great. I don't think I could ask for better ones. We had some girls who have never been camping before EVER! So that was an adventure-they had a lot to learn. This picture is of some of the girls just being goofy.

We are still here!

Hello! We are still here, everyone can stop worrying. ;) I do not have easy access to the internet anymore now that I got my new job. So I do not get a chance to update much. Let me catch you all up on us real quick: I work for Hoopes Vision as an ophthalmic technician, Tim is soon moving postitions to work for Dr. White for Invison. Tim is participating in his favorite activity...golfing... at this very minute. I just got finished playing my co-ed softfall game which we won and I got a softball size, purple, lump on my ankle-not to mention with thread shaped lines all over it. It was a great game. We have been busy looking for a home as our lease at Wasatch Club ends at the end of August. So to sum it all up we are doing well, hot, but well. Oh and this picture is my little bro Trevor taking me for a motorcycle ride. Lucky!

Graduation

Here is the ceremony. Can you see him? He is the one in the black gown.

This is the Handsome Man of Honor.

Here is the family that came to support Tim. Tim's whole family came and my parents. Tim's dad is missing in the picture because he was taking the picture, and his brother had a game. Thanks everyone for all the support!

Graduation!!

As of May 2, 2008 Timothy Ryan Olsen is officially graduated from the University of Utah. He has received his Bachelor's degree with a major in Behavioral Health and Science and also obtained a minor in Sociology. It has been a long time coming and I am so proud of Tim for all of his hard work. Tim hopes to continue his education starting next year in the Master's program of Behavioral Science with a focus of Epidemiology or Health Statistics. Man, it sure feels good to be graduated. We almost don't know what to do with ourselves. While this big event was happening, I finally received my Associates degree from Salt Lake Community College. This is my second associates degree, and I think two Associates should equal a Bachelors...right?

I got a job

So after two weeks of being unemployed, I started my new job as an ophthalmic technician (same thing as before) at Hoopes Vision. The first few days were kind of hard-I have not had a job where I was on my feet ALL day since I was the lumber girl at Lowes Home Improvement. I mostly just followed people around so I could figure out how they did things at the new office. Now I can take patients back all by myself once again. I have noticed though, when the wife has a full time job; the house never seems to be very clean....weird. Thanks to Tim though, he has made the bed several times.
