summertime and the livin's easy...

I must say, it has been a truly fabulous summer so far! I have been on the run and having loads of fun! Here is a brief rundown:

boating at Pine View with Brittany, her family, and some friends
(sunscreen, water, tubing...that's what summer is made for!)
Griffiths family reunion in Victor at my parents' cabin
(hiking, crawling through the wind caves with headlamps, canoeing, horseshoe championship, yummy food, marshmallow roasting, fun games, laughter, good talks, and so many memories!)



my big move from Daybreak to Sugar House
(my 45-minute commute to work was KILLING me. now it only takes me 10 minutes. i am loving that and am enjoying getting to know the sugar house area--so fun! and yes...i DID fill an entire uhaul truck! so thankful for great friends who helped me move!)
attending a few Bee's games with great friends
(gotta love weiner wednesday--$1 hotdogs!)
4th of July weekend with my parents at the cabin/fireworks in Idaho Falls with cousins
(canoeing, 4th of july parade in victor, bbq, relaxing, family time)



seeing Joel McHale again in SLC with friends
(oh...how we LOVE joel!)
Taylorsville Dayzz!
(neil diamond impersonator & fireworks...it doesn't get any better!)
helping organize and carry out the Pioneers of Progress dinner for the Days of '47 celebrations
(so, so much work! but the dinner went smoothly and i am so glad it's over!)
enjoying my new MacBook, as my OLD, OLD PowerBook finally died for good
(macs are the ONLY way to go!)

picking fresh apricots from the tree in my backyard
(i wish i were more of a domestic goddess and had the desire to make jam...cause we have apricots by the hundreds! let me know if you want any!)

I AM SO GLAD IT IS SUMMER! I AM LOVING THE WARM WEATHER, HAVING FUN SPENDING TIME WITH FRIENDS & FAMILY, AND SO GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE!
