Where did the time go..

Realizing that the last time that I posted was in May and it is now almost August. Looking back on what has happened since May and trying to compile a list just blows my mind of how much has happened. Another thing that blows my mind are all of the things that are going to change in the next few months and for the rest of 2014. So how do I tell you all of the things that happened? Here goes! Don't worry, I'll just give you the Cliff Notes version..

1. Remember that I worked at a super awesome place called 'The Awful Waffle' ? Well the beloved Awful Waffle is now non existent. It has been turned into an Italian restaurant called Caf é Galleria. This picture was from my last night at the The Awful Waffle..  and of course I had to document it! I sure loved working here. Even if I was only there for a short amount of time I came to love the girls that I worked with and was sad to see it go.


2. Went home for Mom's OCMCO concert in Orange County and was so happy to have the entire family in one place, even if it was just for a weekend. It felt really weird to be the one in the audience instead of the one on stage performing. 

^^ minus Caroline.. she was home with the babes aka Eleanor 

 ^^ I sure love these goobers! 

^^ LOOK AT THOSE CHEEKS! 

3. Getting back on a wakeboard for the first time since I broke my ankle! I was more than just a little nervous about it. There certainly is a weird feeling that goes along with "getting back on the horse" as they say, or in my case, "getting back on the water." I wasn't planning on wake boarding this trip because it wasn't our boat, wasn't my board and it wasn't my dad that was driving the boat but am so glad that I did! I sat on the swim step with my bindings all strapped in thinking about the last time I was on a wakeboard and just praying to not repeat that experience. Well, I popped right up and let me tell you, as my dad says, "I felt great fantastic and never felt better in my life"



4. Fourth Of July, watching fireworks from the park in front of the Provo temple. 




5. Vancouver Trip, I will give you the cliff notes version because I am going to do another blog post on just the Vancouver trip. Here is a little teaser of some of the pictures from the trip. 



^^ Austin says, "Annie! Take a picture of me hugging this tree!"

^^ Gotta love the happy couple ;)



^^ Eleanor's first time in a pool. We weren't quite sure how she felt about it




5. Free Train concert with Chandra in downtown Salt Lake. We started pretty far back in the crowd but as the night moved on we pushed and shoved our way closer to the stage and ended pretty darn close. It was a great night! I am so grateful to have such an amazing soon to be sister in law. Love you Chan! And Austin, ya did good brother ;)




I am now officially all caught up with the big events that have happened in the past few months. I am really hoping that that didn't sound like just a bunch of mumbo jumbo. 

Don't ever forget that "Life is an adventure, don't waste it!"
