I love summertime in Provo

1. I got to come home early today (since I have to stay late on Friday) 

2. I took a surprise nap (sat down on the couch, woke up 40 minutes later) 

3. 

 

(It smells SO good) 

I walked to the library tonight just after the sunset. I love provo like this. With all its memories. I can't believe this is my sixth summer here. I love it. 

There have been days when I have decidedly not loved it, but for the most part Provo has been very good to me. I met some of the most important people in my life here. My dear husband for one. My first summer in Provo is when Christie and I became best friends and I met and started getting to knothe Alexis. My second summer in Provo was a constant party in the 70's house backyard, same with the third. My fourth was spent with Makaelee, Brooke and Lexi in the Claire-Elizabeth house laughing all the time and worrying about boys. My fifth was spent planning my wedding to my eternal companion and working like a dog. So far the sixth is lots of work and lots of play to make up for it. I only ever dared dream that my life would be like this and I'm grateful to remember my love affair with summer. 

So tired

1. I laughed a lot at work today 

2. We went to the temple 

3. Our car might survive, maybe.

Dang you, deer!

1. We had ice cream for dinner 

2. My little carrots and zucchini are growing their little hearts out 

3. Instead of getting upset over something my boss did, I shoved it aside and mostly forgot about it to finish out the day on a good note 

 

Ain't no rest for the wicked

1. I took a two hour nap this afternoon while Connor worked hard to get us unpacked from our trip. 

2. I got set apart for my new calling today (ward picture board specialist, which just means I get to take everybody's photo and put it up on a board by the bishops office) 

3. I made a lot of good food and Connor washed all the dishes while I slept. 

Last night we got stranded on the side of the freeway about 130 miles south of our house and had to be towed up here. It was pricey, but the tow truck driver was so nice and I only cried twice when I called my grandpa and finally let it all out. We were exhausted from hiking and camping and I hadn't really slept the two nights prior so I was nice and spent. Thankfully I cried it all out and my nap today was heaven sent.

Observation point

1. We hiked for 8 miles (4 straight uphill, 4 straight downhill) and I didn't die! 

2. My husband loves me very very much and has told me many times today, even when I lost it after our car started smoking on the freeway. 

3. I got to eat at hermies in cedar city and I love love love love that place!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kanarraville falls

1. I FINALLY got to go and hike to Kanaaraville falls (google image it, it's amazing!) don't worry, all the photos will come as soon as I get home. 

2. Connor caught me and waited a whole 5 minutes before he laughed at how loud I screamed falling down the tiniest waterfall. 

3. We met some of the very nicest people that helped us down one of the other water falls and made lots of nice comments to buoy my spirits.
