Where is the summer going?

So I can't believe that the summer is going by so FAST! I am in shock that it's already the last week of JUNE. Last month was hard because I was gone for two whole weeks to Italy, so it felt like the month flew by, which it did. I didn't think I'd be feeling the same way about June too. I just have to look back of the past few weeks and realize what I've been up to, and that it's totally okay.

We had a great Memorial Day at home with the family. We celebrated Jackie's 25th birthday. WOW, you say? Jackie, already 25? Yeah, my thoughts exactly. It's even harder to believe when you're the older sister! We made freezer meals with Mom and have been enjoying them ever since. I mean, who wants to cook after work anyway? I am a TRUE BELIEVER in the freezer meals, and they're even really YUMMY! You should definitely try it!

Lindsey and I also got to go home over Father's Day. We got up at 6:15 on Saturday morning and went on a bike ride. We left from Mom & Dad's house and then went to Laketown and then to St. Charles. I still can't even believe that we DID IT!! (I'm sure you can't either) I believe it's about 40 miles from home. Okay, if it's not quite 40 miles, we are TOTALLY fine with rounding up a little! After that bike ride, we spent the afternoon on the PARTY BARGE with the whole family. We had YUMMY food and enjoyed cruising around the BEAUTIFUL crystal blue lake. We spent the evening at the golf course driving range while the Dad & Shea played a round of golf. It was a busy day, but we had to fit everything in!

Last weekend, I went to St. George with Amanda, Brad, Amy, and their Mom & Dad. Those of you who know me, know that I CAN'T handle the HEAT! When we got there it was well over 100 degrees. All I can say, is that I'm darn glad that I DO NOT live in St. George. We got to go to two plays, The Sound of Music and Les Miserables at Tuacan on Friday and Saturday nights. I really liked The Sound of Music because I have always LOVED that movie, and the girl that played Maria sounded EXACTLY like Julie Andrews. She was absolutely amazing. If you haven't ever been to Tuacan, I would highly recommend it. We spent three straight hours in the pool on Saturday morning because it was the only way that we could stand being outside. It felt so good in the 108 degree weather! I didn't even get sunburnt. Thank you spf 15!!! I still got some color, so that's great!

My friends and I have been addicted to So You Think You Can Dance. It has been so much fun to watch and has given us something to look forward to doing together each week. I haven't really ever watched the show, but I love it so far. Lindsey, Mollie, and I have all been going up Provo Canyon to go biking, jogging, and walking. It's been really FUN to enjoy the outdoors and beauty of the canyon.

I am looking forward to spending many more weekends at home in BEAR LAKE. I feel so BLESSED and LUCKY to be from such an amazing place. I guess I'm going to have to buy a camera so that I can post some pictures some time. Darn Italins! Thanks for stealing my camera!

Hi Kendra,
It was great to see your post on my blog. You look so darling on yours...I actually found yours on Ambers a couple weeks back and had posted a comment on your Italy pics post. You must have just missed it. It is great to catch up, there is just some weird sense of satisfaction just knowing that a long time friend is ok and doing so well. I will definately be checking in on you.

Love,
Nicole

Your summer may be flying by, but you have sure done a lot of FUN things! I am glad that some of your time is spent in Bear Lake! I don't know if you would ever come home if we don't live in such a gorgeous place!
