Summer 2014

Last summer was so great. I am going to do a quick update so that I remember all of the fun I had.

Kevin took his last board exam during medical school, which meant that he spent the first two months of summer studying his butt off! He was able to get a rotation in Utah though (thanks to Traci), so I was able to spend time with friends and family while he studied all day.

I did make him take a few breaks, so that he could spend a little time in the mountains. 

One of my many adventures in Utah was horse back riding with Traci and Malorie. Traci's mom has horses, so went out to her house and rode them for the day. I am terrible, but it was super fun!

This is also the only time I have ever worn a cowboy hat.

We had been biking a lot more in Vegas

In Utah we were able to mountain bike a little as well. We went up to the Canyons with a friends a few times, and hit the bike parks. I want to go back so bad!!

In Las Vegas we tried to spend as much time as we could in the outdoors. Now that we moved from there I'm so glad we did it! 

One weekend we went camping with our friends at Lake Mead. 

I didn't do near as much climbing as I wanted to in Vegas while we were there. We ended up hiking or biking most of the time, but I loved every second of when I did get to climb.

Lastly, I got to go to lake powell with my friends! We are all getting old now so we aren't able to go as much, but I'm glad I made one of the trips thanks to Katie & Stain.

 

As much as I love skiing and winter, summertime is the best!

Bye Brynne and Tanner

I finally started having a little summer right before I start school.

Brynn and Tanner left to L.A. for Tanner's law school. I find this a terrible idea for my own sake. I really really like having them as my neighbor and heading over for dinner. I'm going to terribly miss having them babysit me when I'm bored at night. They make sure I'm fed. They talk to me about my problems. They try to embarrass me. It's an amazing friendship.

I couldn't be more thrilled that Brynne married someone that I've become great friends with though, although he did take her to LA which is not necessarily the best idea.

I got to do a last hurrah with them and went to city of rocks with them, Berk, Greg and his father.

Berk just barely got a dog, his dog loves me a whole lot and slept in the little tent with us and decided it liked my spot more than I did. It was a long night. Brynne and I both slept super well all around.

Brynne is so hard core now. She also loves wind. Everything about it. The rush it gives you when your up on the face of a cliff. The chatter of the wind on the tent at night. Really everything about wind is great. Ask her how great it is.

Thanks Brynne and Tanner. I know that you'll live much further now, but don't think your going to get out of me coming to your home to sit and eat dinner and chat. I'll be there.

On a happy note. Traci and Steve moved back today!! I'm real excited about it, and I was able to spend a lovely afternoon with them!
