When we arrived in Utah.....

We also saw lots of family (Seb & Precia family, Josh & Rachel family, Bob & Patty, Matt & Shayla family), swam, ate yummy food, and enjoyed the warm sun!

Happy 4th of July!

This weekend, Rachel and I had a surprise visit from Mom, Dad, and Dallin.

Ate yummy, yummy food,

Ventured out to Mesa Falls,

And spent time with the family for Father's Day!

After graduation, I am now certified to teach school! I'm so excited and proud of myself! Now, I can just focus on this semester and Fall without the stress of trying to pass my certification test!

Memorial Day Weekend

Location: Oakley, Idaho

Population: 668

Home of the cutest boy in the world: Derek Smith

I have never been fishing before, so Derek decided to take me out to the land his family owns in the basin and fish in their little pond. He swears that a fish hasn't been caught in like 3 years, and guess what? I come along and catch a pretty good sized Rainbow Trout! No catch and release here, I was going to eat that bad boy, and it tasted delicious!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Smith Family for spending the weekend with me! I can't wait to do it again!

New Best Friend

Yes! I am the proud owner of a sky blue beach cruiser, &  I LOVE IT!
