Summer vacation is over, but we're in the middle of a HEAT DOME and it's hot, ya'll. It's going to be around 100º for the next week, and that's just gross. #indoorsy
Nils and Anders went skydiving with our friends Carol and Ryan. No one died, and they all had a great time and loved it. Carol sent me minute by minute updates when Nils and Anders were jumping, free falling, chutes out, and landing. She's a good friend.
You may be asking yourself, "Why didn't you go skydiving, Katrina?" and you're in luck, because I will tell you why.
1) I didn't want to.
2) I partially dislocated my shoulder doing indoor skydiving in April, and my shoulder is still struggling from that little incident. Imagine doing actual skydiving and how that would have been for me. If I had a fully functional body, I probably would still not want to go skydiving. The more you know!
Nils bought reading glasses and whips them out sometimes, and it tickles me to no end.
Went on a little date last week to Gilgal Garden and the SLC Cemetery. It was kind of awesome.
Beat that view with a stick.
Nils bought a Tesla. He's been dreaming of buying one for so long. Justification: It can fit the family, it can tow, and LRN2DIY viewers like Teslas.
I would like to not buy anymore cars for awhile. Also... anyone want a Lotus and a Toyota Tundra? Both are for sale!

Addie's first day of senior year! She's going to MTEC for medical billing and coding in the morning, which is a 20 month program. She has swim, seminary, and mythology at the high school. She still does her courier service, works as a lifeguard at the outdoor pool and babysits. She just got certified as a lifeguard instructor and wants to certify as a swim lesson instructor. All of these things pay more and are less of a time commitment than lifeguarding. We shall see!
Aani is in 10th grade! She works as a lifeguard at the pool like Addie and is staying quite busy. She wants to get a different job for the school year, but we'll see how that all shakes out with swim team, since it takes up so much time when the season gets going.
Ava started 7th grade! She also joined a tennis club that practices three days a week for an hour and a half. She still tumbles, and she's learning to play the clarinet, which we're all really enjoying. Winky face.
For Nils' birthday, we took the fam to see Singin' in the Rain at Hale Centre Theater. 'Twas amazing. Even Anders, who normally doesn't appreciate this sort of thing, was impressed.
Anders has had a girlfriend all summer, and has really fallen hard for her. She's a good girl, but man is this messing with his brain and heart. He's tortured. We have spent so much time with that boy giving him therapy. Kinda can't wait until his mission starts so he'll be nice and busy with being a missionary instead! He's scheduled to go through the temple in less than 2 weeks. So crazy and cool and mind boggling and all the things.
