July started out with us in Rexburg ID. It was so nice to be back with family and friends. We were in Rexburg for the 4th of July parade. I was surprised to see that I recognized the winner of the Junior Miss pageant, but I couldn’t put my finger on who it was. My mom must have seen the perplexed look on my face because she said “that’s Derik’s younger sister up there.” Then I remembered; congratulations to Lindsay, she looked very nice up there in the parade. We watched Rexburg’s fireworks that night from my parents’ front yard. We had been invited to go to IF with Camille and Juan, but I remember how long it took us to get home 6 years ago when I went after my mission and so we decided to just chill at home.
Early that next week we drove back to Becky’s family on the West end of the State. One morning Becky’s dad and I got up early and went on a four-wheeler ride out in the desert South of the farm. We went way out to some of the canyons and creeks out there. I got to see some neat country. Then as we were climbing a steep hill to get a better view of one of the canyons I fell back off my four-wheeler and it came tumbling down the hill behind me. Luckily I was able to step out of the way or my life could have been very different from then on. I had a sore hip and shoulder from where I landed, and the four-wheeler was a little beat up, but that’s pretty good for a four-wheeling accident. It’s not uncommon for someone to go to the hospital after rolling a four-wheeler. I felt very blessed that day as we were riding home.
On July 13th we got on a plane in Boise ID and flew home to WV; it was a sad day for us. Becky went back to work immediately after we returned; the employee that was hired to replace her wasn’t doing her job very well, so they had to let her go. I spent my last couple of weeks before school started reading (I read 3 Harry Potter books this summer, all I have left is number 7), hiking, relaxing, and sadly, studying. School got started on the 3rd of August. I’ll have more on that for next month.
Stewart and Becky

I have to warn you about the 7th Harry Potter book...
It was good until Harry pulls out a light-saber, kills Voldemort, and then Voldemort's face explodes off to reveal Harry's face.
...People make fun of George Lukas's writing skills, but they still keep ripping him off ;)
you forgot the part were a troll shows Harry the force
Oh man, I knew he had a lightsaber! My only question is if Hermione and Ron are able to get the ring into the volcano before Gollum and Yoda realize that they are twins separated at birth.
