Ross & I kicked off the summer on Memorial Weekend by camping with our friends on Boulder, of course it rained, like it does every time we camp on Boulder, but it sure was fun!
We fished, rode 4-wheelers, and played a ton of horseshoes...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I also kept myself busy during the week by gathering a team of women for the Richfield city softball league where we traveled every Thursday to Richfield to play 2 games.
Ok so I will admit we weren't the best team over there, ok actually we were pretty sad! But I can guarantee that we had the most fun out of all the teams!! Thanks BBC for sponsoring us. I hope we didn't totally give your company a bad name dad:)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the mean time Ross & I had our driveway & BBQ patio finished (finally!) Jesse & Micah (Flan Brothers Construction) did an awesome job stamping & coloring it, thanks guys!

On June 5th I celebrated my 26th birthday, which was a tough one for me, I kind of had a little freak out moment... After lying in bed thinking... I need to have babies I will be 45 by the time my first one graduates...I have to grow up now and be an adult....I am no longer in the 18-25 age group...I should be staying home doing "grown-up" things...I only have like 65 years max to live, am I going to get to do everything I want to? And then of course my much older & wiser mother told me the best years of her life was in her 40's and the best is yet to come, I was able to breath and push forward to the future. So I went out with my husband and friends and lived in the moment...
I love those summer nights spent on Fishlake eating at Bowery and then taking the long way home and enjoying this beautiful area we live in! 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And aww the weddings start, headed on down to Cedar City where I attended one of my very good friends wedding, she looked so beautiful and it was an amazing wedding, Congrats Crystalina we love you!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Then from one end of the state to the other! I headed to Spanish Fork for another friends bridal shower. 
And then after the bridal shower off to Provo for a Bachelorette party I will NEVER forget...
Who knew Provo could be so fun and that they had the best night club I have EVER been to! Pretty sure I should keep my blog rated at least PG-13 so that's all I'm going to say about that night, just glad the bouncers were taking care of us!
One more bridal shower for Ashley given at my house, which by the way I am so not a betty, I try to be a good hostess but it totally freaks me out trying to entertain people and well cooking for them is a whole other thing, luckily my wonderful mom swoops in to save the day AGAIN, I love you mom!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~And well as most of you already know both of my parents are survivors of that blasted thing we call cancer, my father overcame colon cancer in 2005, and my mother overcame breast cancer in 2006, so for the past 3 years we have made the Relay For Life an annual event we attend and raise money for. If you are not familiar with the event you should get to know more about it and the American Cancer Society. This year, our team along with many other teams walked around the Richfield track from 6:00 pm-6:00 am and helped to earn $49,000 for the American Cancer Society. It is a fun event with fun things going on all night, this year we made cotton candy, marshmallow guns, jewelry, aprons, cookbooks, and many other items to sale at the relay, all of which was donated to the American Cancer Society, it is an amazing opportunity to show your support for those fighting cancer, who have fought cancer, or those that have lost the battle to cancer...
This is the survivor lap, everyone in purple shirts has survived or is fighting cancer, the sad part that you can't see is the track was completely looped with purple shirts.
My parents have shown me the ultimate meaning of COURAGE & HOPE. They have battled through some pretty scary stuff and all the while being light hearted and keeping a sense of humor this all has made our family stronger and closer, God works in mysterious ways?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well I've now updated up until July I will add more post about my happenings in July when I have more time, hopefully it won't be such a long post next time!
