Summer 2010

I’ve been terrible at blogging, and I’m not sure why. I read other people’s blogs and I like the updates, so I’m going to work on mine a bit. Here is the rundown of my summer.

The Summer started off with a visit from Maggles. At first I told them I would pass on the impromptu trip to Wendover since my allergies were not playing nice, but with a little persuasion and knowing how much Maggie loves Wendover, I was in the car in no time. Of course spending all night in Wendover and watching Maggie win big on the roundup cowboy game we had to have one last meal in breakfast. Maggie may be moving to Hawaii, Melissa and I are all on board for visiting Maggie. This is Melissa, Maggie, and me at breakfast.

Next up has been some very limited time with Cory, but at least we got in our first night showing of Eclipse. Cory is awesome and I have more to say about her in a future post, but lets just say she keeps me laughing for hours. I'm still repeating the jokes I got from Cory that night. And if you're wondering what my favorite kind of pie is, it's cheesecake. Candice joined us on Eclipse night, but unfortunately none of the pictures that had all three of us turned out.

Family trip to Boise. If any of you heard about the crazy flooding at the Payette River this summer, let me just tell you now they weren't exaggerating. The water was crazy high, we had to wait to get permission to get on the river, and after our run they closed down the river and wouldn't let anyone else on. It was awesome. Mom, Marzena, and the girls stayed back for a day of kiddie fun, while Dad, Adam and I braved the rapids. Oh and lets not forget the cute riverguides.



I’ve hung out with Jess a few times, we’ve had some girls’ nights which have been awesome. Jess is very outgoing and gets me out of my comfort zone. Think costume parties, new foods, and dancing with new people. Good times.

Kayleen came to visit with her new baby. We had a mom and daughter lunch day. It was good to see Kayleen and catch up. I miss Kayleen and hope that she will come to visit more often.

Hammy moved away to Texas a while ago but came to visit. We only had one night of dinner theater and hanging out but at least we got to see her and hang out with Laci. Here's Jenn, me, and Laci at the dinner theater.

  

Let's not forget about the BBB! Adam throws a crazy party every year with over a hundred people and entertainment galore. We're talking snowcones, cotton candy, America's Got Talent contestant Lindsey Stirling, bounce houses, food, candy cannons, and more. I'm posting the one calm looking picture of me and Ellie, you can see the sunburn is already forming.

The past few months have been great. I’ve gone to concerts with Candice and built some new traditions with her. Candice and I go out for Italian, chat about life, play gut busting games of “your team” and end up singing and dancing at concerts. In the past few months we have seen Paramore, Relient K, Fun, Offspring, 311, and Jack Johnson. We don’t have tickets for any upcoming concerts, it looks like it’s time to check out pollstar.com, maybe some Reel Big Fish and Aquabats?

I’ve built up some other friendships, we’ll have to talk about those later, and caught up with some old friends. All in all, things are going pretty good. Here's a final picture of me at the end of summer. Now let's see what fall has to bring!
