Back To School

It is hard to believe that our summer has flown by so fast and now we are back in school. Oh how I miss those days! :)
I am now in my 3rd week of my second year of med school at the U, and Clayton is in his 3rd day of classes. It has been hard getting back into the study/school mindset, and we miss spending all our time together. Luckily, Clayton is in his last year of undergrad and we are now in Salt Lake, so I get to see both Clayton and Juliet more than I did last school year.
We live in student housing, which is new to both of us, but we love it. Juliet has so many little friends since the majority of kids are younger than 5. The most difficult adjustment is the anti-BYU mentality. People go out of their way to put down BYU. It brings back memories of all the anti-LDS people I ran into on my mission...

Anyway, here is an update of our wonderful, summer of a lifetime!

Fourth of July at Bear Lake. Juliet loved the water.
