What you've been missing



Here's the part where I try to sum up my entire summer thusfar in one tightly packed blogpost.

Readyset?

So, after returning from OIMB, and a short side-trip into Washington before actually returning home, I scurried down to Utah to attend my brother's fantastic wedding.

I'm so happy to add Nadia to our ever-growing family. It was a gorgeous reception, and a great opportunity to spend time with my family.

My next adventure was another great chance to be with my family - The Despain Family Reunion! This year we went over to Montpelier Idaho to spend some time together and enjoy the great fun that is Bear Lake. I was kicking myself for forgetting my camera, but you'll just have to trust me that it was fantastic. It was my first chance to go in about 2 years, and I'm so so so happy that I made it!

My next real adventure will be moving into my new apartment back in Provo - which can happen as soon as the 20th. Hopefully in there I'll also squeeze in a trip to Minnesota.

In the meantime, I have a couple-few background projects to keep me entertained.
My job - the fantastic OCDC. I usually have nothing but the highest praise for this fantastic institution, but right now I have this year's horrible death and puking disease. I should be happily back to work tomorrow. I love the kids, I love the business, and I love love love the chance to brush up my Spanish.
My other background project has been working along with After School Productions to put together a performance of Sweeney Todd. Check it out, come see it, show your support, and enjoy the FANTASTICNESS that is Sondheim!
Last but not least, I've been scanning in a bunch of the family's old negatives, in the hopes that eventually we'll get around to a big scrapbooking project. I haven't had a *huge* amount of free time, but hopefully in my time between ending work and leaving Mosier I'll be able to get more things done.
