Camera Probs and other cool stuff

So you may have noticed that I haven't been posting much lately. Well the camera I've been using is not functioning at the moment. But other than that life is pretty great! We had a family reunion with Layton's side of the family this weekend and I got some sweet footage on the GoPro so I'll be sharing more on that later this week.

Layton and I have been preparing for an back packing trip this next week. It will be my 17th daddy daughter backpacking trip. We have since included other friends, family, relatives, etc. It will be about 50 miles culminating in climbing Mt. Whitney the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States.

A week in review

This week was a busy one. I worked everyday except Thursday, we had our ward campout, I made significant progress on the quilt I've been working on, we went tubing, had some bike riding adventures, attended the temple, rescued a turtle, and even did some laundry!

Sorry that the quality is so bad, my phone camera is not awesome.

Grateful musings

While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God's creation.

Maya Angelou

I am super lucky. I really am. I have had the privileged to be friends and family with some of the most awesome people ever. The other day I had a sad moment when I realized a lot of my family and friends are moving within the next 3 weeks. Then I also realized that I have had a lot of wonderful friends, and family members move in and out of my life over these last few years, and they have helped me to be me, and they have helped me to know how loved, important, and appreciated I can be. 

I love you all.

Thank you xo

PS I couldn't find pictures of every important person in my life, but you all know who you are ;) even if you may not be in the pictures here on the blog!

Warm Slough

Warm Slough is one of my favorite places to go tubing here in Rexburg, it's not too fast it's easy access, and it makes for a fun afternoon float. Unfortunately it's not actually very warm :) This weekend our dear friends came up to visit us and we all had a super fun time floating the river!

We filmed the trip on our GoPro I've never uploaded a video on here before so i hope it works!

Happy 4th of July!!

I absolutely love the 4th of July. I'm so excited to spend my day watching the parade, seeing friends, and going to the fireworks. Sadly Layton has to work so we will go to the parade and fireworks together, but he will be gone for a lot of the day.

So tonight we had a mini BBQ in our apt because it was way to windy to go outside.

And it just wouldn't be a proper BBQ without some delicious smores.

My fourth of july shirt...

So I started this project about 3 or maybe 4 years ago, it was going to be a cardigan, then in morphed into a loose tank top, then last weekend it finally became my 4th of July shirt. I was going to finish it tonight. But I didn't.

Instead I went sun bathing with this cute gal :)

It was totally worth not finishing my shirt!
