Boulter Bunch

So it's the end of August and I'm wondering what happened to the summer of 2011?!!!  For Mike and me, it was mostly spent working to catch up a bit from 3 weddings, trying to get some relief from my back pain, (still working on that!), and helping some of our children move around!  (Brandon & Melinda moved north to Bountiful, Utah where Brandon is doing a clerkship in 2 district courts while waiting on results from the bar exam!  Meanwhile, Emmy & Eric just moved to Midland where Eric is going to school on scholarship from Chevron.  We're glad that they have a great support system with Mom, Deb, Mark & Terri, and some of our Texas friends still around!)  We're glad that we've been able to be around our granddaughter Paisley, who is almost 5 months old-what a cutie!  (That, plus Mel's blog, helps me get through the days NOT getting to see Kyle & Ryan until November!)  We also enjoy Sunday dinners when most of the Utah children (and their dogs...) can come. :)
Even though we haven't traveled outside of Utah this summer, we're so grateful that we can hop in the Fiat whenever we want, head up the canyon, and sit by the river surrounded by pine trees.  Those "mini-vacations" have been lifesavers!  We're also hoping to get a few overnighters in the mountains this fall in our camper.  Mike & I are still adjusting to being "empty nesters"-I miss talking to the kids as often, but it's nice to be able to be together and enjoy that time.
So that's about it-not very exciting, but that's okay!  We wish all of you a wonderful, healthy fall season and hope that you'll be safe wherever you are.  Lots of love, Dee & Mike
