I'm grateful:
#141- that I was able to finish block 1 quickly.

#143- for camping. It is so nice to be out in nature and escape the heat of the valley.
#144- for camping with friends! I'm so glad we started the tradition to get together every year since graduation! Even though 5 years isn't a lot, we've been consistent and have really made it happen.
#145- Eric's parents let us borrow their truck to go camping and we got to sleep in the bed of the truck under the stars.

#147- Presley was good with our friends' kids! She really loves kids!
(She willingly went in there with them and sat down for this picture!)

#167- there was only ONE open seat on the flight home and it happened to be next to Eric and I so we got to have the row to ourselves on the flight home. Second time that has happened to us and we absolutely loooove snuggling and stretching out on the flight home!
#168- we found an apartment to move into!
#169- we get to move out!
#170- only 2 weeks until we get the keys to our apartment!
