We talked to Enterprise today and thankfully this isn't going to affect us at all, but Geez! Two fender benders in less than two weeks! Maybe God is trying to teach us a lesson in patience or forgiveness or something...

Something funny
I was absolutely astonished when Ken told me, but something unbelievable happened last night... WE GOT REAR ENDED!!! Ken had driven the rental van down to the Creamery (lazy, I know, but we were in a hurry) to pick up some essentials and as soon as he parked a pick up truck driven by a couple in their 80's ran into the back of the minivan and didn't notice! They drove off as Ken was chasing after them. Luckily there was a nice woman who volunteered herself as a witness and gave Ken some paper so he could write their license number down.

The past few weeks have been quite exciting! We've had three weddings:
Amid all of this marital bliss, We were able to take a mini-vacation and spend the weekend at my Aunt and Uncle's house up in Herriman. It was so nice to get away from Provo, our apartment and responsibility for a few days at least. I spent most of my time reading and Ken still was working when we were there, but we got to go to the Copper Canyon Mine!
We also drove just a couple of miles to go and see the Oquirrh Mountain Temple
One of the main reasons we went up was to watch their dog Isabelle while they were up in Oregon.
The sad part about our trip however was the car accident. It wasn't our fault at all, but of course it's still an inconvenience.
And now we are just trying to get in gear and get ready for fall semester to start!

Kelsey's Amazing Needle Punching Project
Kelsey is doing this needle punch project for her History of Creativity class. It is Stary Night by Van Gogh but will have Provo at the bottom. She is going to by pretty busy tomorrow because the project is due on Wednesday.

Survey from Clarissa
I don't think I've done one of this since high school.
10 years ago: It was the summer after 5th grade, so I'm not exactly sure what I was doing. Probably reading like a maniac- perhaps 1998 was my Anne of Green Gables summer, if I am remembering correctly. Also I imagine Ruth and I spent quite a bit of time out around the pond exploring and playing.
5 years ago: I thought of this last week actually. 5 years ago I was getting back from EFY and Youth Conference to work for very poor pay at Ponderosa. I really wasn't a very good waitress at all though. And Ken was just entering the MTC almost exactly 5 years ago. It's weird to him that it's been that long.
5 months ago: I was just doing school work and getting ready for Valentine's day. I graded papers for my class and was looking for the perfect Key lime pie recipe for Ken. Looking back in my planner, I also went shopping 5 months ago for the things I needed to make my curtains.
5 things on my to do list:

5 things on my to do list:
- work on my needle punching project
- go grocery shopping
- get reports ready for Sunday
- make a dental appointment (there's a place in Orem, where it's FREE!)
- Make some phone calls
- oatmeal with craisins and almonds
- peanut butter and chocolate chips
- carrots
- milk
- sherbet
- Buy a condo or duplex here
- Buy Ken a motorcycle, if he still wanted one
- Invest most of it in bonds
- Go shopping for not DI clothes
- Take Ken to Europe
- Oshkosh, WI
- Dreieich-Dreieichenhein, Germany
- Provo, UT
- Berlin, Germany
- I think I spent at least a month living with my grandparents in Maryland when I was really little- I hope that counts!
- I'm taking Mission Preparation for one of my religion electives. My shy 18 year old male classmates don't like to talk to me
- I have a weak spot for EFY music. I'd listen to it all the time if I had more of it!
- In high school I wanted to be a psychologist. Once I really found out that the job isn't like being a YW's leader, I was less interested.
- Last year I lost my wallet approximately 8 times.
- I can only wink with my left eye. I only was able to get the left one after many nights of not being able to fall asleep.

Independence day
Over the 4th of July weekend, Ken and I went up to Rexburg to be with Ben and Yanghee. And it was amazing!
Of course to start things off, we had a traditional Ross family barbeque, including Marcie's potato salad recipe.
It was such a fun weekend because we just did a lot of hanging around. We went to the park and played frisbee. Ken and I watched as Yanghee and Ben played Korean balance games. We all learned a Korean game that's similar to Jacks. Yanghee won.
We made Old fashioned custard and watched the fireworks next to the Snake river.
We got to Idaho Falls pretty early so we could get a good spot, which we did. After waiting for a few hours for the fireworks, they started. Behind us, blocked by a large tree. They had moved the location of the fireworks from last year, so we and everyone around us got up quickly and squished in another location to see the show.
It was a great memory!

June Updates
It's been a while since we have uploaded any pictures from our camera, so Ken and I thought we ought to update the blog before the month was over. On father's day this month, Ken requested a fancy dinner. So I cooked the best I could and made a downsized traditional Kindt family Sunday dinner. It was really fun and the gravy actually thickened this time!
Last Sunday, we finally got together with some of our freshman year friends. Jacob was Ken's roommate and Clarissa was my neighbor and Ken's FHE sister. And despite these close relations, Ken hadn't seen their three month old baby girl yet. It was really wonderful to play games and talk with them after so long.
But the big exciting update for today is our fun CAMPING TRIP. Our ward planned a camping trip down in the Unita National forest. It was close, beautiful, and perfect for getting to know the other ward members better.
We drove down with the Hepworths.
Me and Abi Jo
The Park family
The Sawadas with the Bishop
The crazy Bowens (She's due in two weeks!)
Foil dinners
Hammock fun (we brought it to perhaps sleep in, but it ended up being a fun toy for the kids!)
Hygiene
Our campsite
Morning hair
Morning marshmallow
Breakfast
It was so fun to get out of Provo and take a mini-vacation even if it was just for a night.
Today, Ken and I went to the start of the freedom festival at the Marriott Center. It featured a local rabbi, Stephen R. Covey, Michael Ballam, and Glenn Beck. The evening was very patriotic and was centered on what they called the core American values: family, freedom, God and country. Afterwards, we tried to get to the floor to meet some of the people there, but by the time we got down from our spot (where we had our first date and where Ken proposed) all the famous people were gone. It's understandable as the Marriott was filled!
