A Reunion, A recital, A round of golf

Summer has been treating me well, very well. Last weekend one of my good friends got married and it could have been considered a high school reunion. We hate that it takes a wedding to get us all together but we definitely took advantage of it! What's better then dancing with all your best friends and then ending the night with a Hire's shake?

Lucky for us her husband and my boyfriend were at work so we got to be each other's dates for the night! It had been way too long since we've done that!

My piano teacher has an honor's recital every year for sophomore age and older. This year I was able to play a piece I have dreamed about playing for about 6 years now. We took our favorite parts of Rhapsody in Blue and put them together to make one awesome song! I have the best family, boyfriend, and his cute parents to come and watch!

Daniel and I decided to do a little spontaneous date night to Boondocks. We just laughed and laughed and laughed. It was fun to get out and do something and to be together just the two of us. Work has taken over our lives a little bit this week so it is nice to enjoy the time we do have together! I recommend boondocks to anyone looking for a good date night. Mini golf, go karts, and arcade games is all it takes for us to have a good time!

A Little Red Bike Ride

Last year my mom and I rode in the Little Red Bike race and we had so much fun that we decided to do it again this year! They have lots of different routes that you can do and we decided to do 50 miles this year.

The theme was Bollywood and they always do such a great job with volunteers, decorations, and making it such a fun ride! I have really started to love biking and it was about 10x easier this year then last year so I guess I'm making progress!

A Lake Powell Weekend

It doesn't feel like summer until we are in Lake Powell and luckily we get to go every Memorial Day. We had a fabulous trip with good weather, good water, good company, and lots of activities! It is the one place you can always count on all 5 of us making it down there together!

     

I'm lucky I found a guy that loves it as much as I do but then again how could you not?

A Happy Birthday!

Today is Daniel's birthday. We figured out last night that we met 4 years ago today at his birthday party! Between going away for our freshman year of school; me to Hawaii, him to Dixie and a mission this is our first time celebrating his birthday together!

The summer we met.

A finals week and a break

Tomorrow I have 3 finals. Today will be spent studying, studying, and more studying. But after tomorrow night at about 9:00 pm I am out of school for the summer. Thursday I will be moving home to Salt Lake. And I could not be more excited!

A 22nd Birthday

My birthday came too fast and definitely went too fast. Birthday's have always been a big deal in my family and mine is no exception but every year I still feel overwhelmed with all the love that is sent my way.

This year my birthday started in Sun Valley over Easter weekend. My family wasn't going to get together on my actual birthday so we decided to celebrate a couple days early. We had such a great weekend doing fun Easter activities and all being together!

My birthday was on Tuesday and I was going to be in Salt Lake all day so my roommates did a little pre-birthday on Monday night with a delicious cupcake and birthday banners!

On Tuesday I was able to spend the morning with my best friend Lizzy and then head to Salt Lake for lunch with my parents, Allie and my grandparents. It was such a fun and relaxing afternoon. Unfortunately, I had to go to class that night but then my parents were off the hook and I celebrated the night away with my cute date Daniel. And I don't know how this happened but we didn't take one picture that night!

I could not have asked for a better day. Thank you for all the birthday wishes and love. I felt so special by how many people took the time to acknowledge my day. My heart was completely full! Thank you, thank you, thank you, to all those who made it such a fabulous day!

A little reminder

I feel like I have been in my own little world the past couple weeks but it is only because there have been so many moments that I have wanted to absorb and take in. I wanted to escape the outside world and enjoy the spring weather, time with friends, and those little moments that can make a day so great! 

Here's to happiness!
