1. Learn how to knit.
2. Learn how to use a sewing machine. (for the millionth time! eek!)
3. Make something by knitting or sewing. (go figure.)
4. Read a few books. (Currently reading, "The Friday Night Knitting Club"...hmmmm maybe that is why I want to learn to knit.)
5. Visit church history sites.
6. Design a vintage photo session with models, props and authentic clothing. I'm VERY excited for this one.
7. Have a picnic with Morgan.
8. Go to the water park.
9. Buy a washing machine! (maybe this should be #1)
10. Continue writing my novel. Yes folks, I am finally doing it!
And for a quick update on our lives...Morgan is finishing up his summer clinical internship at Performance West Physical Therapy in Bountiful, UT. He has LOVED learning in a hands-on environment and is now an expert on balance and vestibular PT. I'm so proud of him! He is gone lot so I've been loving making yummy dinners for him and experimenting in the kitchen. I made a cake from scratch and some fabulous homemade cheesecake brownies. They were to DIE for, although the cake was kinda dry. Does anyone have any tips for making a moist cake at a high altitude?
I flew to Texas to spend some time with my family and will be here for a few weeks. It is wonderful to be with them, but I do miss Morgan a lot! Thank heavens for skype.
Here we are on our little day trip to Park City, UT. It was a very fun day...Morgan made a delicious picnic lunch (Turkey/Mozzerella sandwiches, veggie chips, grapes, string cheese, and even chocolate dipped strawberries!) and we read books and even threw the football. It was wonderful. :)

I'm working on learning to knit this summer, too! I really liked that book, and I wasn't ready for it to end. I just wanted it to keep going. Wishful thinking. I can't wait to see your vintage shoot pictures! You have a gift.
I can kind of, sort of sew. Wanna come over and play/sew sometime? Or maybe we could just catch up? Cus heaven knows we've been saying we need to that for a long time.
i need to learn how to work my sewing machine.... you should post your exploits on it so i can copy them too. =)
also, that pic of you two is super cute!
oh also also, my husband still thinks that your pictures are the best ones he's ever seen. especially of zak. i wish we still lived there so you could take some more of us next fall too. or take a trip to come visit us.
I feel like such a good influence haha:) I'm excited to see the fruits of your labor- hopefully we can meet up in Nauvoo and celebrate our awesomeness together. MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cate, the best way to learn how to use a sewing machine is just to start a project. you will be amazed at how simple it is. do something easy (maybe a grocery bag sock our of a dish towel?). The hardest part is threading the machine and getting the bobbin in. Once you can do that, you're good to go. The rest will come. I really like your list! I look forward to reading how everything goes. And you make me want to read Friday Night Knitting Club. It's next on my list now. Thanks for sharing!
