It ONLY Took Me Four Hours

So I haven't blogged in a very long time, but I have good reason....LIFE!! We have had a busy end of the summer! In August my sister M'liss and her hubby Tim came out for a visit. It was SO good to see them!!!! We had a baby shower for M'liss and had a great turn out! She is going to be one spoiled, but adorable little baby! We can't wait for her arrival in December (we hope! :))!! While M'liss was here we had a birthday party for my grandpa and went canoeing at First Dam up Logan Canyon. It was such a blast and brought back lots of fun memories from my childhood! M'liss has lots of good pics but you'll have to wait for her to post about it!! ;)

Thursday before M'liss left we had our 2nd annual Girl's Retreat! We went to Park City again and had so much fun! We went shopping, did a puzzle, made bows for Baby Girl Bennett, laughed a lot, and just had a blast being girls!! :) It was SO hard to say good-bye to my sister this time. I mean it's always a teary good-bye, but this time I was sobbing like a baby. She is going to be changing so much and I won't get to be there to feel the baby kick or see in person how big her belly is getting, you know all the fun stuff, but most especially I won't get to see her or her baby for a couple weeks after she is born! Not seeing Ruby and Jen less than a week after Ruby was born was hard so I can only imagine how hard this will be with my sister.

We had a Bawden family reunion in Park City one weekend in August I just can't remember exactly where it fit in all of this so I'm sticking it here! Oh, and a boating trip to Willard!! Boy was that cold! :) I'll just put a few pics!

School Started for me Wednesday, August 26th. I'm at SLCC this year so it should be an adventure! I'm going to 3 different campuses, but it's not too bad because my classes are spaced well enough. We had a couple crazy first weeks of school, but are starting to get into the groove of things...well some of us better than others (it took me four hours to write a two page paper)! We have a bad case of "Senoiritis" on our hands and it's spreading fast! Koby will graduate this Fall and he is a little TOO excited about it!! He is giving it to me, but I have 3 more semesters...so that's a bit of a problem! :)

We went up to the cabin for Labor day weekend and had a good time trying to relax. The first night we were there Koby's grandma fell down the stairs which was pretty scary. She didn't have any physical signs that she was hurt except a HUGE bruise on her arm and a little stiffness. She ended up having back surgery this morning (Friday) and all went well. We all enjoyed the rest of our time at the cabin even though it was a little cooler than we wanted but we had a good time in spite of that!

We are so sad that summer is over (maybe that's why we can't get into the groove of things yet?), but we are looking forward to a fabulous fall!! Koby is excited, ok excited is the wrong word for it...let's just say he asked me today what tomorrow was. I said "um September 19, I can't think of anything" thinking it was a significant day for us or something....nope, just GAME DAY! Oh, brother! Football season has hit!! Anyway, hope all is well with you all!

Ps I cut my hair again! Not too different except for in the back, but I really like it!! :)
