Summatime!

 I've been so busy (and not), and haven't written a blog post in a while. May, June, it's all the same. Here's a short update of some happy times from the last couple months!

FAMILY TIMES

For my whole life I lived 800 miles away from my Dad's side of the family in Utah. It's been so fun to be so close to them the past 5 years. We get together usually once a month for dinner at my grandparent's in Layton. My cousin Riley left for his mission last month to Sacramento. I'm gonna miss that kid! Bittersweet to see him off at the MTC.

WEDDING SEASON

Summer in Utah=lots of weddings. One of Alex's best friends came into town because his sister-in-law got married. We sort of crashed the party to see them :) Reunions are fun. Next wedding was for Alex's friend Dillon and his girl Alex. Such a fun couple! We're excited to have more married friends. And just a couple weeks ago Alex's best friend Spencer got married. So fun to see all the "Mertown" buddies together and all of their cute speeches/dancing/reunions at the wedding. I love Spencer and Jessie and are ecstatic that they just moved to Utah. Yay for best friend adventures for the next couple years!

SUMMA-TIME ADVENTURES

Got to see the new Payson temple open house. Amaaazingly beautiful. 

SUMMERFEST!! Pretty much my favorite thing about summer---the carnival, food trucks, vendors, fresh squeezed lemonade, rides, parade. I just love it all.

Went hiking with some young women from the stake. Went 9.3 miles starting in Provo Canyon and ending at Battle Creek Falls. SO incredibly beautiful as you can see. Those girls are amazing! Don't think at age 13 you could have paid me to do that...Next up is girls camp! So excited.

Not pictured: Strawberry Days Rodeo (also one of my favorite things!), summer drives, summer walks, sno-cones at the park. I love summer!
