Summer's End

This past Sunday, I got some apples off an apple tree at Johnny's parents' house. They are little apples, so I got a lot of them. While I decide what delectable recipe to use them in (I think I am going to try making apple bread), they are ripening nicely on our window sill.

Well, this time next week we will be enjoying our last night before school starts. We are both excited for school. We are also both excited to start off the BYU football season, which begins this Saturday. We still haven't gotten our seats, even though they were supposed to be emailed to us today. We are going the Cougar United route this year, so hopefully that means really good seats. I will have to practice standing for four hours straight because, apparently, that's what the Cougar United section does...we'll see how that goes.

Now that I am only working my afternoon job, I have been able to go running in the mornings, and it's so much easier to run when it's not 95 degrees outside!

What's new in Johnny's life? Johnny devotes a lot of his free time perusing BYU football message boards (and posting on them). He is the most enthusiastic BYU fan I have ever seen. We even went to the football team's open practice a few weeks ago. He has also golfed a lot this summer, and I went with him once! It was my first time ever golfing. Golfing comes about as naturally to me as tennis does...not at all. On Saturday we went to a driving range with Johnny's brother Will and Will's friend Chad. I spent most the time just trying to keep my arm straight. Johnny is a very patient teacher.

I guess this is our unofficial last week of summer...somehow it doesn't hold the nostalgia that it held when I was a kid. We'll actually be slowing down our lives when school starts, so we are relieved for the change.
