Lucky

   I try not to brag...but really I must...I have the best husband in the world. He has been dealing with this sick, pregnant woman for 33 weeks now! The daily occurance of vomiting has not stopped him from (just about) every morning offering me a cold rag, a cracker, or something to drink.
   He deals with me on my weepy days where I cry about rabbits not having anywhere to stay during the winter.
   He deals with my snappy sassy attitude when I ask why he put such large pieces of ice in my drink. (This is sad...but true...I've taken to eating ice ALL the time)
   I am so excited to meet this little lady and see what she looks like. I am almost as excited to see her as I am to see what an amazing dad my amazing husband is going to be.
(PS I love that this husband has no idea that I blog about him! Bahahahahaha!)

~Baby Shower~

   It's been awhile since my last post..I hate when this happens because then it is so hard to get back to doing it frequently.
   Something I wanted to post about though was my amazing Baby Shower! Why was it amazing? Let me tell you. It was amazing not because there was wonderful food, not because of the adorable decorations, not because of the cute gifts. It was amazing to be a thousand miles away from all my family and still have 'family'. These women made me feel so loved and special. It is amazing the relationships you can form in just a year and I am so grateful for these wonderful ladies and for everything that they do for me.
   I know that Aaron and I are where we are supposed to be. We are in such a unique situation because we go to church with so many other doctors and their wives. I go to a church that is full of young moms with young kids and they all have the most amazing advice.
   I am so blessed.

Important

   Wow! It has been forever since I have blogged but...truth be told I've had much much MUCH more important things going on!
   First of all my wonderful sister, Paige, came to visit me. We had a blast! We shopped, crafted, watched movies, swam, read, and just hung out and enjoyed each other :) I am so lucky that she came up to see me.
   Then, my momma came to visit me! We shopped until we dropped!!! We found Baby Girl a stroller, a crib, a mattress, and bedding! Aaron said to me, "how is it that you talk to your mom every day and you guys still have so much to talk about the whole entire time she is here?" This basically sums up our whole entire visit. We would lay in bed and talk and talk and we would have to say ok...it's one in the morning. No more talking....and then we would start up again. I love my mom so much and so glad that she braved the airplane to come and see me.
   I am so grateful for all the wonderful family I have in my life! We've had my in-laws, sister, and mom come and visit us. The party isn't over with yet though! I still have Jennifer and Kara coming to see me this week!!! 

Camp!

   This past week I went to girls camp for church! Let me just tell you it was a blast! For several reason and if you happen to not understand why this made camp...you obviously were not at camp.

1. Rebecca Black. This girls song about Friday was sang....an unmentionable amount of times! So many  times I woke up singing it this morning! We did sing one final time on Friday to commemorate the week!

2. Edge. What girls camp isn't complete with out one annoying chorus from a Lady Gaga song?....I even like gaga and I wanted to rip my ears off.

3. A Pirate Theme. This year at camp our motto was, "We seek after these things" from the thirteenth Article of Faith. So...we were pirates...seeking after good things :) Well, I happen to have some amazing girls that brought some amazing costumes and dressed up as pirates! Needless to say Capt Jack was there.

4. Friendship. It is weird as an adult to make new friends sometimes. This week though I met a couple of amazing women that I now absolutely adore. We laughed, shared stories, bossed girls around, and just enjoyed each others company.

5. Bonding. I got to bond with all of my girls. Needless to say I love them even more than I loved them before. They are simply amazing to me and I can not wait for these girls to be the leaders that my little girl will look up to at church. I loved getting to know them on a personal level not just as a collective group at church. I loved knowing individual things about them. It's amazing what girls camp will do for a relationship

6. Mosquitoes. I have 25 mosquito bites on my body. What would I have done without OFF!!! Thanks to the girls that shared their dry Off and kept asking me if I needed more spray...even the girl I made fun of because she was obsessed with spraying herself down :)

7. Ice. Isn't it weird the little things you miss? One very special girl brought me two cups of ice while I was at camp. I will treasure that cool moment forever for more than one reason.

8. Motherhood. One girl helped me become a better mom by calling me into her tent, being very serious, and telling me she needs help find a healthy snack.:) Those girls took such good care of this pregnant lady all week long I would do anything for them! They carried things for me, slowed me down, and just made me feel loved :)

9. Spiritual. These girls have an amazing spirit around them. I can only imagine how hard these girls daily struggles are from the pressures of the world. It was nice to strip down the hair products, add a layer of dirt, and be able to hear them and see them the way our Heavenly Father sees them. I loved hearing what they had to say about certain topics of the gospel. I hope they can see how beautiful they are from the inside out.

10. Relationships. I hope those girls created many new relationships. Relationships with girls from other places. Relationships with girls from their own ward. Relationships with their leaders. Most importantly a greater relationship with their Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

I love Girls Camp.

Summer

   Today is the first day of summer. The longest day of the year. My name is Summer and I have absolutely loved seeing everyone love summertime today :) So, enough said. I love my name. I love Summertime :)

Father's Day

   Today is Father's Day! I am so lucky to have such an amazing dad in my life! A man that I respect so much, have learned so much from, and love so much! I truly am blessed to have an eternal family and to have such a wonderful dad :)
   As I talked to my dad today it made me so sad that I was his only girl not there to celebrate with him today.
   Love you dad! Enjoy your day!

One Year



   As Aaron and I were going to bed last night we realized we have been in Ohio for a year now! Yesterday was the one year anniversary of moving into our house :) Wow. What a year!
   It is so weird to think that a year ago our little family moved into our little house to start our big lives!
It's amazing what 365 days means.
365 days means:
You will have new friends you never had before
You will celebrate your one year marriage anniversary
You will have callings in church you've never had before
You will become pregnant
You will live in a state you never imagined yourself in
You will survive six months of winter
You will love living in a state where it snows quite a bit
You will meet amazing women and learn things you never knew
You will put a sweater on your dog because it is so cold
You will spend most of the summer with the windows open
but most importantly
You will learn that home is wherever you want it to be
You will learn that family stays the same near or far
You will learn that creating your 'own' family is the most amazing feeling
