Sporadic Blogging

I might as well just accept that I am not a very consistent blogger.  But it's okay, because I'm pretty sure no one really reads my blog anyways!  Anyways...back to the story I started over a month ago.  Summer and Ken.

One of the best, most defining weekends, was over the 4th of July.  We got to spend five days in a row together, and it was awesome.  We went boating, drove up to Jackson Hole, ate a lot of good food, watched movies, visited his dad, and had a lot of quality conversation on the long drives back and forth.

It was at this point when I knew I was totally in love.  And it was mutual.  Right before he drove back down to Provo, he told me that he loved me.  I couldn't have been more thrilled.  I couldn't stop smiling as I said it back to him.

I thought the worst part was saying goodbye, but a few days later I realized an even more depressing thought...the next opportunity we would have to spend five whole days together would be over Thanksgiving...and that seemed forever away.  

Fabulous 4th

Better late than never, right?

For the 4th of July, I got to go up to Swan Valley for a weekend of good food, family, and boating!  Here are some pictures of the good times we had.

Cute Isabelle and Merit!  

Me and Ken...it was an extra treat to have him along for the whole weekend!

The three sisters:)

We enjoyed the a rodeo in Jackson.  

So happy to see my family loving Chacos!

The whole family in Jackson Hole.

We got two fun days of boating on the lake!

And...I turned 21!

I should take more pictures (these ones are all thanks to my mom), it definitely makes blogging easier!  You know what they say...a picture says a thousand words!  It was a great week!

Labor Day Weekend

It really irritates me that Labor Day Weekend happens the same week that school starts, because three day weekends are great opportunities to leave town.  So even though there are fun activities going on because it's the first weekend of everyone being back in Logan, a good majority of the Logan population leaves the Valley.

The 80's dance was on Friday of Labor Day weekend.  I was planning on going, because we had a ton of fun last year. 

As you can tell, we had a blast.  Last year.  This year, at the last minute I decided to drive up to Swan Valley a day early to hang out with my family.  Less than five minutes after getting in my car, I began to question this decision, as my card didn't work at the gas station, so I drove off without any gas and without my gas cap.  Luckily I found it, broken, in the parking lot.  It still works.

At this point, I was bawling.  I calmed down as I headed up to Idaho, and the weekend ended up being fabulous.

Uncle Shane's cabin is beautiful.  That whole area is just beautiful.  I got to spend the weekend doing some reading, relaxing, boating, and hanging out with family.  My cousins are getting older, which is really fun, because they are pretty cool.  A bunch of them got really excited about playing my favorite game, Bang!

I have such a wonderful family, and I am glad that I got to go up to Idaho to spend the entire weekend with them.  It was refreshing.  Unfortunately...I didn't take any pictures.  Fail.
