Here's a quick summary:
- I'm getting old! Yes, August brought me the big 3-0 birthday. No longer an irresponsible 20-something. In reality, I had been looking forward to turning 30 so I handled it very well, if I do say so myself. Got a great new bag (among other things) from Bryan and went out to a fabulous sushi dinner with some friends. A great start to what is going to be a great year!
She's so pretty!
(Not the best picture but its all I got)
- Bryan and I are on week 3 out of 4 of parent's weekends! In August my parents were out visiting for 10 days, spending two weekends with us and then heading to Zion and Canyonlands during the work week. Then last weekend Bryan's parents flew out and are doing a similar schedule as my parents. Its been fun showing them around our new city (I was even forced to read from the Book of Morman during our Temple Square tour! Don't worry, I haven't converted!!). We've been doing lots of hiking including more wildflowers and a trip to Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake. Here's a few pictures of my parent's visit. I'll post some from Bryan's parent's visit at a later date.
Albion Basin in Little Cottonwood Canyon
Mama moose and her twins!
Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake - Its hard to tell from this picture but part of the lake actually looks blue/green like the ocean!
Sand dunes in Utah??
Lunch at the (almost) top of Mt. Frary
Even though he's not in a crosswalk none of us dared to stop him!
- Planning our own vacations! We've got a busy fall on tap and I can't wait to see more of Utah and the west. September = 5 days in Yellowstone, October = 4 days in Moab and Arches, November = 4 days in Zion. Can't wait!
- Oh yeah, that thing called work! Things are going well for both of us and keeping us busy. My company just hired a new person so I'm busy training him and Bryan is picking up some night hawk shifts for a little extra $$ (the only way to fund all his ski equipment he's planning to buy).
So overall its been a good August with lots of activities. I promise to be better about blogging now that September is upon us!
