Summertime..

... and the livin is easy... kind of... ok. not so much, but I'm having fun anyways!!!

So I'm taking a TON of credits and basically working myself to the point of insanity doing my "fast track" semester to get ready for my internship this fall. But here are a few things I've done this summer to make it still wonderful and fun :)

1. Trip to Northern California :)

Jeff's roommate got married a few weeks ago so he was going home for the weekend so I got to go too!!! It was so fun to see what Northern California looked like and meet his wonderful family and have so much fun :)
Highlights.
the drive. yes. 12 + hours talking and laughing and listening to "The Host" on CD, and stopping at truck stops... sooo fun! Who would have thought such a long drive could be so fun?


San Francisco. Jeff lives super close to the city and we went down and spent a few hours being touristy. I took lots of pictures, we went to Pier 39, watched street performers, watched some sea lions battle it out for some room on the dock, shared a sundae at Gheradelli Square, went down Lombard Street and walked down this cute little beach... I forgot the name of. But it was super cute. :)

Oakland Temple. On the Saturday we were there, we got to go up to the temple and see Josiah (Jeff's roommate) get married in the Oakland temple. It was so pretty. It sits up on a hill overlooking San Francisco and it is just gorgeous. Also, it has this cool walkway on the temple with gardens and beautiful sculptures protruding from the walls of the temple. Jeff and I walked up there between him being in all the pictures and it was so pretty! I loved it.

Jeff's family. I don't have any pictures with them, but they were wonderful! They let me stay in their beautiful home and they made me feel so welcome and comfortable the whole time I was there. I've heard so much about them and it was so nice to finally get to meet them and find out where Jeff got all his wonderful characteristics from :)

And thus concluded California trip with Jeff. <3

2. Dinosaur Museum.

Ya, it may seem random to you, but I bet you didn't even know that Utah is famous for having a lot of dinosaur bones! It's true. I saw a lot of them. And took some funny pictures with my roommates.

There were giant dinosaur heads, footprints, and I even got to shake the hand of one of these huge piles of bones! I would recommend this museum to anyone! loved it. and it was free so who would complain!?

So... all in all, I'm liking this summertime business :)
