since i've been gone . . .
it seems i've been a little distant lately . . . i guess until i get into a new routine i let a few things slide. the blog being one of them.
new work is finally feeling normal. :) yea!
school has been out for the summer for at least 2 months now.
no summer classes = me cleaning and organizing my house, and looking for other projects. what's with my obsession with being busy? no clue.
this fall will be my final semester before i officially have my bachelor's degree.
i'm already thinking about the next step. more thoughts to come later. . .
considering 8-month certification in kundalini yoga, but after doing 108 sun salutations for the summer solstice, am rethinking how much more practice i need before i teach.
other than that, here are a few of the pictures i have managed to take over the past month or so . . .
took a quick trip to slc with mom and sisters to see my cute niece and nephew in a play. they were darling and would totally wave at us during the play. we sort of instigated that though. :) they got trophies cause it was their last night.
lovely summer days. hope to be back more often.

floating down the virgin river
so i started my day off on friday at 5:30am! i was going to go hiking with corinne and mary in zion and they are way on time people so i woke up earlier than needed to make sure i was ready. :) we hiked watchmen's and then weeping rock and then had a fabulous breakfast at oscar's, which is still my favorite restaurant ever. {mary still needs to email the pics from our little adventure . . . yes mary - email them :) }
then i met up with my fab fam to float down the virgin river. we rented tubes from zion adventure company. they were awesome. they give you huge tubes, you float for like 2 hours down the river and then they pick you up at the bottom. and if you want to go again, it only costs five bucks.
heading down to get in the river.
the stick they are holding onto totally helped out because then the other person could pull you if you got stuck. the water wasn't that deep.

totally fun! the river really was awesome. just remember to keep your bum up.
totally awesome trick me and michael discovered. :) love my family!

let's go fly a kite!
yea! i have been mia due to finals. . . but i am done with the spring semester and just checked my final grades. i'm pretty happy! so now time to catch up.
as part of my management class i volunteered at the kite festival. sara and my mom helped me out. we actually had a lot of fun, especially when our friends and family showed up!
the best was brad's amazing fishing pole kite flying contraption! it makes flying a kite so much easier! check out landon's glasses! he always wears these around even though they are missing one of the lenses. :) so classic!

hiking tradition
maryann came into town from indiana and we had to go on a traditional sunday hike with cody. it was so beautiful that day that i had to post a lot of pics!
my hands were freezing right there.
cody had to help us both down on this part. i promise it was scarier with the snow there.
just one of the amazing views!
this is me and cody's ice skating rink. when we were on this hike a couple years ago it was frozen over and we made an ice skating video with his cell phone, choreographed and all! it makes me smile.

finally making our way out. this was a long, gorgeous hike and my legs were sore for the next two days . . . :)
