Summer Plans

Most people know, but for those who don't I thought I would make a quick post about our summer plans. Justin just got done with his "mini semester" classes and did very good in them! Originally we were planning on spending the rest of the summer here in Memphis. (this is the only summer he has off of school) He was going to work basically full time at his job in the campus library. However, my mom called me to tell me about her overwhelming summer at the ranch and we decided to spend our summer there helping out with the business. (FYI this is Jackson Hole, WY where my parents own rental cabins in the summers. See moutltonranchcabins.com for info.)

We leave in 2 days to make the trek up to Illinois to spend a week with Justin's family and to celebrate the 4th of July in the good ole Village of Winnebago. We will then make the trek out west to Wyoming. I am excited to get out of this HOT and MUGGY Memphis heat and head to the mountain air! I am also excited to get to spend the whole summer with my parents and of course with Just and Jackson in one of my favorite places in the world! (I mean come on, look at that scenery! Who wouldn't want to spend 2 months on that acre of land?!)

After Wyoming, we head to Mexico for our SVOSH trip. It was finally re scheduled after the whole swine flu cancellation for the last week of August. We will be back in Memphis on Aug 31st- the day Justin starts his first semester of 2nd year.

I am sooo jealous!!! I wish I could spend that much time with my family! In August I get to go home for two weeks. Eric's parents planned a Family vacation to Jackson (Aug 10-13). Who knows, maybe we will see you there!

I can't think of a better place to be pregnant in the summer than Jackson! --Nice and warm, but not humid or tooooo hot! Good luck with your big trip out... hopefully we'll see you guys soon!

Jackson Hole is the best place to be in the summer.. beautiful mountains with enjoyable temperatures. Good Luck with all the travel. Too bad I wont be there to do a 13 mile bike ride with you.. remember last time you were pregnant you were a champ!
