Over the 4th of July weekend, Kevin and I took advantage of the Provo temple being closed for cleaning to go on a morning hike to Squaw Peak. We’ve done this hike every summer since we’ve met and it was fun to continue the tradition. Unfortunately, we aren’t as in shape this summer as we were last summer and we huffed and puffed the entire way to the top! Thankfully it was a gorgeous day and a gorgeous view which made it all worth it.
I love hiking with my awesome husband!
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.
That awkward moment when you realize it’s been 2 months since you last posted…I sense a bunch of catch up posts coming on!
We knew for a couple of months that we were going to be asked to move into a remodeled apartment so they could remodel our apartment. We were very sad to leave our first little place, but we scored a newly remodeled apartment and rent only went up a little so we took the deal and moved in the middle of May. We love our new apartment!
We’ve been hiking a lot this summer, but it’s been a lot more exploratory hiking, and short hikes on the Bonneville Trail or the Provo River trail.
My favorite (and only) little brother got his mission call to Texas McAllen, speaking Spanish. He leaves July 23, just a few weeks away!
Acting like a child on the Provo River Trail
One of our favorite hikes is to Stewart Falls up by Sundance. Toward the end of May we took our awesome friends the Frosts with us. We love those guys!
May was a big month for Jeffrey, he also graduated from High School!
We thought it was pretty neat that three of the four Hurst siblings graduated in 2014.
That about sums up the entire month of May! Most of the month was spent working, and Kevin had full time classes as well. By the end of May I started to feel more comfortable with my job, and we got into a good routine. More posts to come!
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!
