The Merkley Family

Hello Summer!

Wow! Did summer hit us with a bang, or what?! It has been so mild and rainy and now we are in the fourth straight day of high 90 degree weather! I can't believe how hot it has been and how quickly June has passed. Tomorrow is the 1st of July! We have such a fun packed July. Our July is crazy with birthdays, both friends and family. I am hoping (hoping!) to do a little tribute to each on on their day of birth, so stay tuned, cause it's gonna be a lot!

We have been so busy with the garden and with Luke's interviewing/testing (which is going well, btw). Luke is currently testing and interviewing with Duchesne County, Lone Peak (Highland/Alpine), and SLC. He also has applications going into Bountiful, Woods Cross and Kaysville. Hmmm. Any guesses on where Luke hopes we end up? And any guesses on what I'm thinking? We are excited about all of the possibilities and hope something turns up soon!

The summer festivities start with, of course, Independence Day, which is always fun. This year we will be spending it at the farm again for a Merkley family reunion. Then, we were planning on going to Jackson, Wyo. with my family, but somehow the dates got a little screwy, and we aren't going to be able to go. We have too many other conflicts with Luke's testing and interviewing, among other things.

Then, we have another family reunion! My mom's family is in desperate need for a reunion, and so I have helped planned a fun filled time and hopefully we have a great turnout. It has been so hard to get this little family together recently! July will then be over and my baby boy will turn 3. I can't believe it is here so quickly. It really seems like he has been around forever, but also just yesterday that he was born. I love this little guy, and can't wait for a fun birthday celebration!

How exciting I can't wait to hear where you end up. And yes I know where Luke wants to go =). Farm boy.
