LifE iS gOOd!

Summer has been crazy and full of fun! We've gotten to spend the 4th of July with the Parkers in Joseph, UT, visited Jeff in Seattle, met adorable Gavin, the newest edition to the Lucas family, seen Coldplay put on an amazing concert at The Gorge, tried out the amazingly awesome "eYeClops" (thank you Ash and Kory!), hiked Half Dome aGaIN, spent time with the Klavanos, celebrate our 3rd anniversary, see two close friends get married, and see the Killers perform at the Shoreline! Now you know why I've been so busy and haven't updated the blog lately! On top of all this fun, Seth received his Boards scores back and did an amazing job (i have to say...this score proves who our kids will be getting their brains from!), I studied for and took my Comprehensive (COMPS) Exams and National Praxis Exam (both required for graduation and licensure as a speech-language pathologist), Seth started working on real-live patients in the dental clinic, I've landed a spot as an intern at CPMC hospital, and Seth got his braces off! Everything has really just fallen into place for us, and we've been so grateful for how blessed we've been. Thank you to all of you who sent us your warm thoughts and prayers while Seth and I had challenging academic requirements. We truly feel that they made all the difference and helped us get to the place we are at today. I always think that pictures say way more than words can, so I'll leave the rest to the slideshow!
