Hi Family!

We've had quite an eventful month filled with all sort of fun things and new things!

I finished another long term subbing position at Mountain Ridge Junior High in Highland, UT. I was teaching Utah History for a friend who had a baby in January. She was able to work it out where I was able to teach pretty much the entire semester! It was fun to feel like I had my own classroom again. Unfortunately, the economy is such that I still don't have an official teaching job for next year. Going on 3rd school year with no teaching job.... not happy 'bout that.
I am the YW's 2nd counselor and am loving it. This month has been all about camp prep and my girls are so excited. The stake is in charge of camp this year and it has been very easy on us. Hopefully it all goes well!

Nic has jumped the Kiewit boat FINALLY! The 105 hour weeks are no more! He went to a company called JWright as their lead estimator. He thought he would enjoy the smaller company, but realized he missed being out on site. He then left JWright for a bigger company called Flatiron which he enjoys a lot more. They are nation wide company that primarily focuses on roads and bridges. That is Nic's bread and butter! Loves it! Not sure I understand why :) He was put on the Timpanogos Highway project which is in its last few months (hopefully). It has had some bad press in the past and that has made it a little difficult for him. We are hoping everything finishes out ok and he can start a new project and actually make a difference in the beginning.

We have had such a fun month with family! For Mother's Day we were able to head up AF Canyon and hang out with the family. We road four wheelers and just enjoyed the scenery!

We also got to go to the Nationals BYU Rugby game at Rio Tinto Stadium! It was our first rugby game and we were not disappointed! It's crazy how tough these guys really are. Not fussing about getting hit. BYU won!

Toward the end of the month we flew out to DC to meet with the Buhler side of the family for a reunion. Nic and I first spent some time in Baltimore and the inner harbor.

View from the freeway. Love this temple! Where Nic proposed :)

There was a fudge shop with singers and I guess they have been there for years! It was fun to watch them make the fudge and then hear them sing.

Then we went to the Outer Banks, NC and rented a beach house! It was absolutely beautiful! The weather was great every day but one, and we were 500 feet off the beach!

Check out the view!

We basically relaxed the whole time. It was a 3 story house with a theatre room, a huge kitchen, pool table, a pool and hot tub which the kids took over, and several beautiful decks with porch swings. It was nice to get away and see family we haven't seen in a long time! Each family had a day they were in charge of meals which made it very affordable and fun to see new recipes. We went to the beach everyday without fail! Nic's brothers took their boys to the beach every night to go crab hunting. We were sad to leave, but have wonderful memories to take from it. Here are some more pictures of our trip!
