I love this holiday. It is such an amazing time of year to celebrate our country and to remember the abundance we enjoy.
God bless the USA!
Mckay and I had a lot of fun in the month of June. Some of the highlights were:
- I started a quilt, that I'm hoping to finish this next month.
- Hiking with our ward members - I really didn't appreciate Logan when I moved here, but I sure do love it now.
- Seeing Newsies at the Capitol Theater in Salt Lake with my good friend Kylie.
- Participating in a murder mystery dinner with some friends.
- Visiting Alise in Yucaipa, Ca, and going to Newport Beach. Holy Moly, talk about gorgeous. It was so fun to spend time with the Lindsey's and get some sunshine too!
- The Thornton's, my sister Holly and her family, came to visit us in Logan and it was a blast. We had a BBQ, got snow cones, watched a movie in our backyard, played Frisbee golf and swam at the Logan Aquatic Center.
- The last week of June we spoiled ourselves and stayed at the Anniversary Inn here in Logan. We planned a staycation and took half a break from our daily routine.
At the Anniversary Inn they bring you breakfast in bed. Best. Ever.
Which reminds me. I have been trying to hammer down a daily routine. Talk about a toughy. It takes so much discipline to stick to a routine. Being in school for so long, where your schedule changes every semester, you move every other semester, and your responsibilities can change every semester, I never got in the habit of doing the same thing every day. It's not really my personality. I don't really like doing the same thing every day, but I know that consistency really makes your life easier. So that's what I'm trying to do.
One last thing. Mckay and I read a book on our way to and from California last month. It is called How Will You Measure Your Life? By Clayton M. Christensen. Seriously, read it. It's so good! It was the perfect book for Mckay and I to read together. It is full of business principles that relate to your life. This was such a perfect time to read this book because Mckay and I are starting to formulate a plan. We are finally figuring out what we want to do. I say we, because even though it is really Mckay that is figuring out what he wants to do, I am very much affected by his decisions. Our futures are tied together. Yay!
I have high expectations for July and can't wait for the adventures planned!
