Apparently Jo-Bertie couldn't handle living with Hepatitis...
We found Jo-Bertie on top of the lamp... the light bulb melted a hole in her plush stomach.
You will be missed!

Summer wrap up.... in November
First off, happy 11:11 on 11.11.11! What a momentous occasion! And what better way to celebrate than finishing up the documentation of our summer with hepatitis!
Now, I'm going to apologize in advance... I personally don't love really long blog posts (mostly because I don't like reading them, so I'm sure others don't either), but I feel like I just need to get at least caught up through the end of the summer. Our lives have not been super exciting since school has started, so that will knock out a good chunk of documenting. I'll try to keep it short and sweet.
After Lagoon we went up to Logan to visit some friends and spend time in the town that we both grew to love while in our undergrad. We stayed with the Garcia's (except that Lucas wasn't there :( sad). We went on a nice bike ride out to Mendon with Sarah to see the Cartees; drove up to Porcupine Reservoir to do some cliff jumping and kayaking; went to dinner with the Cartees at Indian Oven (even though we meant to go to Tandoori Oven... it's a funny story, but I'll spare you the details); and I got to see Hesse and Justin and KaDee, Nate, and Ryker. We did a lot for only being there for a day.
After Logan we spent some time with John's family while Moma was in Mexico picking up Cody. Kegan tagged along too. We had a great family reunion with John's great grandparents' family (Harris Family Reunion), and Hep helped make wooden toys for children in need. We also got in some good canoeing.
John, Kegan, Hep, and I got in some good R&R up at John's family's cabin - fishing, shooting, eating, and just enjoying nature and the mountains. With the late snow that Utah had, there were still wildflowers out and they were gorgeous!
After the fun times at the cabin we went back to John's parents and got a little mountain biking and tie-dying in before we went to pick up Moma and Cody at the airport.
Unfortunately we didn't get to stay for his homecoming talk because John had to get back to start school. We're really glad we got to be there when he came home though! After we got back to Oklahoma things settled down a lot. We've had more adventures with Hep, but that will be for another post.
Sorry again for the long post. If you made it this far, I commend you, and you deserve a cookie. Let me know, and maybe I'll send you one; don't worry, it will be hepatitis-free!

| The water was really high for the time of year that we were there, just evidence of how much rain/snow Utah got this year. The reservoir was beautiful! |
 |
| We love the Cartees! |
 |
| Ryker and me |
 |
| Breast friends! |

| Some silly frames Kegan found. |
 |
| This is how I found them one morning. |
 |
| We used Hep for target practice... just kidding. |
 |
| You can see all the purple wildflowers on the hill. Beautiful! |

 |
| Kegan got some intense battle wounds. |
 |
| It was muddy... |
 |
| Very muddy... |
 |
| Tie-dying |
 |
| Awesome tie-dye shirts! |
 |
| Anxiously waiting Cody and Moma |

| Not surprised that he came home with a HUGE sombrero on... |

Tour de Hepatitis
Okay, so I made up that name, but this past summer John and I biked a lot, and we loved it! As I've mentioned here before, we recently picked up cycling (due to the lack of mountain biking in OKC), and we've had some good rides, one of which was a huge accomplishment for me.
Saturday, July 9, 2011: John and I rode 50 miles!
We had a great ride that morning. We rode to Lake Hefner, around the lake once, then to the path that connects Lake Hefner to Lake Overholser. We took that path to Overholser, went around Overholser, back to Hefner, around Hefner, and then home.
It was such an amazing feeling to know that my body had the endurance to ride for that long. It makes me excited to reach my goal of riding a century someday.
