Kyle and Lindsay Patterson: Where has the time gone?

Seriously...is it almost September? Where has the time gone? I felt like I should give a little update. There may not be anyone who even reads this but I want to do it for me. So anywho..I have just started my last and final semester of the Bachelor's program...YAY! I have to say it has already been a stressful event. Haha..I think I might have to miss the first day of class because of my dumb work schedule. BOO!! But I am excited and ready to get the ball moving and get my degree!

The Summer Update..

Sheesh! The summer sure does fly by but we have done some fun things this summer.

First..I have had a few bike rides. My first one was in May. Terra, Kylee, and I did 50 miles around Layton area for Cinco De Mayo. We had a lot of headwind and that really took a toll on our energy but we finished and I even won a shirt! (I never win anything). My next race was Little Red. I rode with Terra, Kylee, and her friend Amber! We rode 70 miles around the Logan area. It was a beautiful ride and we had fun camping out in our tent the night before the race! We actually woke up to rain but needless to say, we finished and that is all I cared about! :) My next ride was in August and we did 35 miles up in Mountain Green. That was also a fun ride and it was just me and Kylee! We hadn't been training as much as we would have liked for that one so the 35 miles was perfect for us. Our only preparation was our pasta dinner at Brick Oven the night before..oops! hahah..

Second...Kyle has been playing in lots of golf tournaments with some buddies from work. He has done pretty well and has taken 1st and 2nd a couple of times. His favorite was when he won first place and they didn't even get a prize! Who does that??

Third..I went to Girls Camp for the first time as a leader! I guess our stake always does camp as a stake instead of every other year as a ward. (I'm not sure why). So we went up with all the other wards to Camp Woodland up in Morgan. It was definitely all that I remember it as. The songs, the cooking, the tents, the river running, and of course the testimony meeting. I actually got to listen to my old neighbor Meg Johnson speak and she did an AMAZING job! She really brought the spirit and the girls loved her. She is awesome! It was a good experience and I was able to bond with the girls but I was definitely glad to get home and get into the shower and sleep in my bed!

And of course..we did some of the summer have-to's! We have had a couple of bbq's with friends, fireworks (oh man, that day was fun! We had kids shooting fireworks at our car, so we enjoyed them off the side of the road instead!), went to the fair, swimming at the in-laws, and we even checked out the farmers market for the first time this last week. I really enjoyed it. We have also been busy with birthdays...Kyle's sisters, mom, step-dad, my dad, and the best of all is coming soon! Kyle is going to be 27!!!! Man, he is getting old!

Here are only a few pictures...
