In June, Kevin and I met up with my family and a few other families from my home ward who we have been friends with forever in the Uintahs for some gorgeous camping. It was a blast! We played lots of games, ate delicious food, laughed a lot, took tons of pictures and enjoyed a weekend in the mountains!
My only complaint is that we forgot our nice camera! But the iPhone did a pretty good job at capturing our wonderful trip.
I can’t believe it’s only been two weeks since I graduated from BYU! Life is so so different now than it was just two short weeks ago. Here are some updates on what we’ve been doing with ourselves lately.
My post-graduation dinner was at Gloria’s Little Italy, where the food is delicious and picturesque.
We’ve had the chance to spend lots of time with my hooligans siblings lately which is always a riot.
We took some senior pictures for my stud-muffin of a brother. Dang! I have a good looking family!
We’ve spent some time playing games by ourselves and with friends.
I started a new job, which I struggled with at first, but now really like. On my third day we took a van ride up to Sundance with the residents. It was way pretty!
We got to babysit (and corrupt) one of our favorite little neighbors, and have enjoyed evening walks whenever it isn’t raining.
I took a road trip with Janna and my parents down to St. George to celebrate Cammie’s graduation from Dixie. It was so great to have more family time!
Last week, Kevin and I went for a gorgeous hike up Slate Canyon. Unfortunately our hike was cut short because of a naked man on the trail! We didn’t actually see him, but turned around when a considerate hiker warned us that we were about to walk up on him.
Summer is here in full force, even if the weather this week has seemed otherwise. We are really enjoying our little life right now! I’m working about 30 hours a week doing fun activities with the elderly, and Kevin is taking a full load of classes and juggling two jobs. We are working hard to have as much fun as we can though, and we are so excited to see what this summer has to offer!
I can’t decide if Kevin and I are similar to parents with newborns or to an elderly couple. Either way, we have to leave social functions super early on Friday nights to make our 8:00 bedtime. This became a problem when our Stake Valentines Dance started at 7:30. But the real problem was that we thought it started at 6:30. After a half hour of wandering the halls, expressing irritation that the dance wasn’t even set up yet, we realized that we were an hour early. It’s fine.
The good news is that we got all a little bit gussied up and went dancing last night and it was great. Even though we left after less than an hour of dancing.
The other good news is that we are getting really good at taking pictures with our self-timer.
The good news for you is that I chose only 5 out of the 90 pictures that we took before leaving for the dance. We are disasters, and we like it that way. :)
