What a summer! · 09/11/08 05:28 PM by Michael Caldwell
Well, I have to admit, it has been a long time since I wrote. We have been so busy! Over the summer, we had a lot of family projects and fun. I’ve already told you about our trip to the Hollywood Bowl, Olympics and skeet-shooting. Well, we also helped both of our families with projects. My family, the Caldwells, worked on redoing the backyard in preparation for the upcoming marriage of my sister, Amy. We hired people to do all the landscaping… But we Caldwell men made a patio cover, which was no small task. The main part which was difficult was the lifting of the several beams. The main beam was a few hundred pounds, and capable of supporting 10,000 pounds. Seem like overkill? Well, we were obeying the minimum requirements set forth by the city code… Otherwise, this would have been a lot easier… It all worked out, and looks nice.
Our next task was to repaint the inside of Meghan’s parent’s, the Joneses, house. They decided to repaint the dining room and the family room. They chose a nice green color with white trim. I worked with KC making baseboards and Meghan worked mostly on painting. It turned out really nice!
Near the end of our summer, Meghan’s family went to a place called Oak Glenn where we got to pick raspberries, which we then ate. It was really fun. It was my first time picking berries. I normally do not like raspberries because they are tart, however, these fresh ones straight off the vine were wonderful. I liked then a lot!
So, now we are back in Utah for school. We had some excitement when we got back. A friend of mine, my manager in fact, from Simply • Mac started a new marketing firm called L I M E and offered me a position, which I decided to take. Meghan started a new internship, which she is doing almost full-time, and I have 14 units that I am taking. Just 3 semesters left… So, between work and school, there isn;t much time for blogging and all that jazz. Well, that’s the update. Hope you liked it!
