It's summer!

Well, it's not really the middle of summer anymore...but here's a little recap of our first summer together! (We didn't do a good job of taking pictures)

- Honeymoon in Hawaii!!





- Moved into our new apartment in June
- Katie started working at Russell Publications in Peotone, IL (check out her bylines here!)
- Kod worked for Olivet for a few weeks
- Celebrated the Fourth of July by watching the Kankakee Community College fireworks show (where we got engaged last year)...they were DEFINITELY not as exciting as I remembered, but maybe I was a little distracted last year
- Mom and Dad Carr came and stayed in our apartment with us: They got locked out of our apartment from about 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. while we slept soundly in our bedroom! :(
- Mom and Dad Nichols visited for the weekend: We went to the Chicago Bears Training Camp at Olivet, took a 20 mile bike ride, and Kod and I made dinner for them!
- We visited Kacey and Bethany (Kod's brother and his wife) in Marianna, Ark. where they're living for two years while Kacey does Teach for America: Stayed in their huge house, played with Spanky their dog, played lots of games and experienced southern hospitality. The picture is us on our eight hour drive home.



Now Kod is off to cross country camp, which really means school will be starting very soon!
