A three day weekend in grad school is about as exciting as life gets. Any excuse to take a day off from school work, I take advantage of. I have probably taken too many of those days this quarter. I have been a bit of a slacker! Oh well...Anyway this weekend was soo much fun. A group of my friends packed up and went camping. Camping, you say? You didn't think there were mountains out here in the midwest?! well, you are right...but there are some lovely hills! The area was actually really beautiful and we had a lot of fun.

Monday we had a ward BBQ. The ward out here is the best! Honestly the best ward I have been in. Here I am with two of my little dental friends, Brigham and Dan. Otterpops are probably one of the best things about summer. And watermelon. And BBQ's. And swimming. And Camping!
