so far Summer has been filled with running and swimming and lots of adventures :)
The weekend between spring and summer term was filled with adventure and fun since it was basically the extent of my summer vacation. Saturday afternoon was spent hiking Squaw Peak. It was a fantastic hike. A little steep but beautiful and in good company :) When we finished we got some in-n-out and went hot-tubbing. It was a good day :)

That first week of classes contained my birthday!!! It was probably the best birthday I've ever had. I went out for dinner with my friend Taylor and when we got back to my apartment I opened the door and there were about 30 people from my ward waiting to surprise me. I have never been more surprised in my entire life. I was so overwhelmed by the love and friendship that I'm surrounded by.

Over the course of a couple weeks my friend Ryan and I discovered our mutual nerdiness and decided to watch all the LOTR extended versions. It was a good life decision. I had never seen the extended versions and they were fantastic. If you haven't seen them you really should.
The 4th of July was a fantastic break from school and turned out to be a really good day. I ate breakfast with my cousins, went to back to the rope swings in Mona, went to a street fair and got a henna tattoo, had a ward cookout, played volleyball, and watched fireworks from the point of the mountain. solid.
