Summer Sum-Up

This summer has gone by so fast!! I know it's still hot outside and still 'Summer Time', but it's officially over for me now that I'm back at work FULL time, and then some! So here's my Summer-Sum-UP :)

June
7th - We took Jack and Emery with us to my neighbor's wedding. They were perfect!! And what a beautiful bride she made :)

19th - I had my 30th birthday! Can I just say what a relief it was to wake up on that Sunday and feel, well, 29 still??? I guess it's true! 29 forever! :)

July
4th- My family (siblings, Aunt Karen, Cousin Lisa, Dad, Kathleen, and even Uncle Roger, Mark and Louise) all ran in the Clearfield Freedom Run! It was amazing! I ran my fastest ever 5k time (at that point) of 28:12. My husband tied my time, and my sister came in right behind me at 29.:07. Not too shabby! Uncle Roger, though - 21:02! What a super star. We all went to visit Mom's grave for photos after the run and parade were through.






Tarra, my Scott, and I all took 3rd place in our age groups :)
Plus, the fireworks in Clearfield City were AMAZING this year!!!




29th - Dad got engaged!! Hopefully you are able to see the video on facebook because I can NOT get it to work on the blog! He did a great job of making her feel super duper special and it was wonderful. And what a ring!

August:
1st - I've been back at work since then. It's been a roller coaster of craziness. My boss is a great guy - a bit scattered, but great. He treats me with respect and that is UBER important! My office has been painted red and white instead of baby poop (yep!) green, so that's nice. I've already had my first pregnant teen, abuse report, and witnessed a fight. Isn't it a bit early for these things!? It's only the first week of school!! The good news is that they seem to love me, they are giving me so much support, and I even got some applause today for doing such a great job. It's NICE to be back in the game that I love! I think :) I'll post pics of my big office and giant 15x12 foot window very soon!
3rd: Tryouts for our Stake Musical (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat) were held. I am the assistant producer this year, and now also in the ensemble. It has been LOTS of work, but SO MUCH FUN!! I'm loving it and the people I get to work with. And might I say that CASEY is a phenomenal Narrator!! Just fabulous!
19th - I came down with the first cold of the year. It was a nasty sore throat, then a few days of nasty cold symptoms, and today I am happy to report that it is in the clearing stages! Phew! Made it :)
20th: Went to the Davis County Rodeo! I knew I would break down and cry when I saw Mom's favorite part of the evening trot out into the arena. And I did. It was a beautiful display of freedom and love for the country. Gosh! I miss her SO MUCH. You'll see this picture with Mom's name during the MDA telathon in September. So call in and DONATE!! :)

So that's it! That was my summer. We visited Flaming Gorge a few different times but didn't take too many photos (except these of the JETS!!!)
It was awesome seeing those jets on! I'm excited for Fall and slightly lower temperatures, slightly longer sleeves, and slightly fewer hours of sunshine in the day time. Bring on the colors!
