The End of the Summer of Dreams

The summer of 2010 is over. Last week Ben started school, ending our riotous (while righteous :) ) living. Knowing that we won't always be newlyweds and childless, we tried to take advantage of the summer months. They were short, but oh so sweet. Some of the highlights were:
  • We had 3 great vacations to Belize & Honduras as well as Lake Powell and Montana. Getting to show Ben my mission was incredible, while spending time with our families was great too.
  • Ben encouraged me to buy my first ever mountain bike off KSL.com, then regretted it after trying to teach me how to ride it. In my defense, it's hard to understand gears when you've never owned a bike with more than one speed. I told him on one of our rides, "You deserve a prize for trying to teach a DeBry woman to do something that she already wants to know how to do".
  • We got to use the camping gear we got from our wedding or bought with wedding gift cards. According to Ben, that was the best use of the money :)
  • We slept in some days, and stayed up late even more nights.
  • Happy hour at Sonic was an appointment nearly twice a week. Those limeades can't be beat.
Those are the only things that come to mind, but I'm sure Ben will have some more memories. Either way it was, as Ben calls it, the summer of dreams. Now we just have to get through the Fall of "have opposite schedules with your spouse but attempt to see each other as much as possible anyway". Life is good :)
