Where did August go?

We are still trying to figure out where August went at the Pierce House,

oh yeah...

We survived an earthquake AND hurricane in the same week. Pure chaos.

We finally found a rug for our living room that we love! (Thank you again Caryn)

We enjoyed the end of summer with evening walks to the memorials around the district.

We are already making plans with friends to attend the best high school football games in our area. Yes, the girls are hoping there is a Riggins on one of the teams.

We are being reminded of what election season is like (long hours). I don't think I will ever get used to elections.

We endured a rain delay Nationals v. Phillies game to see the Nats win in the bottom of the 9th, tie game, bases loaded, full count at bat, HOME RUN!..... you know, just like in the movies... did I mention it was 1am when this happened because of the rain delay?

We He fixed the Play Station and is now offering to fix anything around the house.

We watch way to many U.S. Open matches considering it is only the first round.

We have adjusted to a graduate student in the house. Books purchased and tuition is paid.

We are anticipating the BYU season opener this weekend!

We have been growing out our hair - Jessie on her head, Steve on his face.

We bought airfare to Utah for Christmas, we are extremely excited for this holiday season.


We are preparing for an even busier month of September...

Steve will be spending a lot of time in Queens for the NY-09 special election. Remember that one time when Anthony Weiner resigned...

I am making the trek to NY the weekend before the election. We are already planning to go to the U.S. Open and will be there over September 11th which should be pretty crazy. Sad I can't be there for the actual election night. Election parties are the best part of the election.

We can't wait to visit Utah and spend time with family & friends, eat at our favorite restaurants and go to the BYU/Utah game.


We feel so blessed everyday to live where we do, to have the jobs we do and love the stage of life we are in right now!
