Summer Adventures: Idaho and other fun times

The hay field behind Lisa's house.

This summer has been one filled with homework and Relief Society. Yet somehow I managed to squeeze in a few adventures like a trip to Idaho for Lisa's wedding and a few trips up the canyon. Fourth of July weekend was a time for new adventures. I slept in a different bed every night. On Friday, the first Abby, Lindsey, Sarah and I drove to Idaho for our friend Lisa's wedding. I drove and Lindsey and I rocked out in the front. I am sure Abby and Sarah thought we were crazy but we had a good time singing along to the music as enjoying the beautiful scenery. We sang the whole time! Since it has rained so much this year the landscape was a lovely shade of green. We arrived in time for the wedding dinner. There we enjoyed wonderful hospitality from Lisa's family and a delicious meal.

After the dinner we drove to Abby's aunt's house where we stayed the night. I learned a valuable lesson that night. I do not enjoy sharing the same sleeping space as someone else. This does not bode well for a future marriage.

The Idaho Falls Temple.

Saturday morning we woke up and Lindsey beautified us for the wedding. Sarah and I were able to attend the sealing in the Idaho Falls Temple which was lovely. Lisa was a beautiful bride. I hope that she and her husband Will have a wonderful life together. Following a quick cat nap we helped to prepare for the reception and spent the evening wearing cute aprons that Lisa's Grandma made and stocking the tables with delicious food. We thoroughly enjoyed sampling the food, the cakes especially. Sadly enough we had to run out before we could help clean up in order to get back home before church the next morning. It was a long drive. I don't recommend it. We all lost our steam around midnight and finally made it back to Provo just before two.

For Fourth of July I stayed with my grandparents in Salt Lake. It was a very relaxing holiday.

Preface

So after years of rolling my eyes hearing about others blogs I have broken down and joined the ranks of bloggers. I am not vain enough to expect many readers for I think in some ways having a blog is personal. We write because we feel that we need to express ourselves to someone or something. We want people to be interested in our lives and blogging fulfills that need. It is very therapeutic. At least I hope it will be. My purpose in writing on a blog is to share my adventures with those that I care about. Granted you may not want to hear everything little detail of my life and I am by no means going to give you every detail, for to do so would put you to sleep. However, up until this point I have had some wonderful adventures: graduating early from high school, studying abroad in London, serving as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, etc. One adventure has preceded another. Even now I am at the crossroads of life, waiting for a new adventure to begin. In December I will graduate from collage after student teaching in Washington, D.C. My life after that is full of blank pages and I, the writer, have no idea where the next adventure will lead. I guess that is the main purpose of my blog: to share my adventures. For adventure there will be.
