On Saturday Connor took me to timpanogos caves and we did a cave tour which was so awesome! I don’t think I’ve ever been in a cave before. I’m grateful for the experience and there goes one thing off our “before we leave Utah” list. There’s all these things that people around here do all the time and we don’t want to leave having never done some of them. Stay tuned for more of those :) 

1. Connor surprised me with the tickets to the cave tour! 

2. We had Michael and Christy over for dinner on Sunday night and laughed a lot! 

3. Christy and I won all three games of king of Tokyo and they really enjoyed the game! 

Bro, do you even pioneer?

1. We had a potluck at work today and it was delicious! 

2. Connor had to work from home today so he was much more accessible to me and it was great! Man I love him. 

3. I went to see the new mama Mia movie by myself and it was great fun! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I didn’t think I would since I wasn’t as crazy about the first one. 

Fancy food FHE

So for FHE tonight we decided it would be great silly fun to have one of everything! Even a spaghetti noodle 😂 Connor said he put the sauce on it to make it look like we were at a fancy restaurant haha we ate them at the same time and Connor made comments the whole time like he was a judge on the great British baking show. Never a dull moment around here ;) 

Social media less

For the past week we have been off of social media, it’s been great! I feel more productive and like I have to search for worthwhile things to do instead of just scrolling. It’s been especially hard on Connor because he restricted himself from YouTube and that’s like his favorite thing. We’ve also been getting up at 5:00 am, going to the gym and being in bed around 8:30 every night and I gotta tell you, man I feel good! It makes such a difference having Connor here to help me along and keep me accountable. 

Our pumpkins are growing like mad and it’s wonderful!! 

Seriously, they’re so happy and it makes me so happy. I only hope that we get a few this autumn so we can display them outside our door :) 

Andrea spent the night last night and we went hiking this morning then to the provo farmers market. A very grand start to a Saturday morning. 

Connor has been swimming a lot and really seems to enjoy it. Mostly I run and cycle, but I’ll start branching out soon. Life is good, god is good, marriage is good. Happy almost two years to my sweetheart. 

The first week of July

What a week :) spent all day on Wednesday July 4th with our great friends, Brad and Brooke. Biked to the balloon festival with them and finished with breakfast at Denny’s, only to meet back up with them for dinner and chatting.. for like 3 hours haha it was amazing! 

Friday July 6th was a fancy cheese party at Kyle and Tommy’s followed by the national parks playing at the rooftop concert!! It was great and I got a new cd! Then popped back in to kyle and Tommy’s to check out the game status before heading home. Man I’m going to miss most of those people when they move. It’s just going to be so different. I’m so grateful to have had such a wonderful little group for so long. 

Sprinkler king, still a thing

1. I worked a LOT of hours today. But I get to leave early tomorrow to go camping so all is well. 

2. We made chicken tacos together for dinner and yum! 

3. Connor started trimming the vine for me so I didn’t have to do it in the heat and oh my goodness I love him! 

I was going to sit on my bum when I got home

1. Marianne bought me a soda today to celebrate her taking off to Hawaii for almost a month! 

2. Connor and I helped our house be really clean tonight and I felt so productive!

3. I kept wanting to stop on my way home to get food or a soda and I didn’t! I was stronger than the craving and I got 10,000 steps today to boot!
