Ugh...blogging

Wow! Well here I am again for my yearly post :) Once a year I recommit myself to blogging...and it only happens once ha But now that I am graduated and have more time maybe I really will blog more.

Here is a HUGE post of pictures of what has gone on this summer!

First and most exciting, I finally graduated!! I graduated in May in Family Finance. I am now working at Neighborhood Nonprofit Housing Corporation. You can see what we do here. It's such a great job and I really like the program that I am working with. I am actually only working part time for now.

For "OUR" (Riley graduates in December) graduation gift we gave ourselves a trip to JAMAICA!!! WE LOVED IT!! We had so much fun and would go back in a heartbeat.

This picture was taken watching the sunset one night at Rick's Cafe. Rick's Cafe was located right on the beach and they had cliff divers you could watch while you were there. Sadly our cool pictures and video's of the divers got deleted somehow :(

Riley and I drank about a billion Pina Coladas and Strawberry Daiquiri's everyday. What a life!

Here is part of our resort from the ocean. We actually stayed in one of these pink bungalows. It was super amazing and as you can see about 50 feet from the water!

Each day our room was set up so beautifully!

I don't think I'll be able to ever go back to a regular size tub. This thing was AMAZING!!

And this shower was so much fun. As you can see it is outside! It was connected to our room so you were surround by tall walls but there were no ceilings. I loved it!

A couple of days we left the resort to do some adventures around the island. The first one that we did was zip lining. Riley's choice...but I definitely loved it. Our guides were super crazy and made the whole thing so much fun!!

Delicious coconut and pineapple (the pineapple's there are tiny, not like a pineapple we normally see, but still just as delicious)

Our guides

Riley riding the hipline upside down. Riley and I were both doing the zipline upside down and all these fun things and the rest of our group wouldn't even let go of the handle bars, they thought we were crazy. They were just kinda wimps ha jk

Beautiful view of the sunset from our patio.

Such a little amount of pictures to do any justice for the trip. My favorite part of the trip I actually have NO pictures of. One day we took a bus (Jamacian's are SUPER CRAZY drivers) a couple hours to Ocho Rios where Dunn's River Falls is located. Dunn's River Falls is a huge waterfall that you climb in a human chain. The guides that went with us were running up and down the falls while we are very slowly making our way up. They are such brave people.

I also loved the shows every night put on at our resort. The Jamaican's are amazing dancers. They can all dance so good. The boys were amazing break dancers and so much fun to watch. I'll post a video later of some crazy dancing if I can find it.

Graduation day with the Olsen's.

And a small portion of my family!

We have had such a good summer this year. A few fires with our friends.

This one was up Green River Canyon

Weber State Fireworks! We love to go to these every year.

My beautiful Momma!

Raegen and Wes were married in June. It was so much fun and all our family (except Broc :() were able to come out for the wedding. We had so much fun spending time with them. It really sucks having your family spread throughout the world, and all the nieces and nephews gone!

At Raegen's shower in Morgan.

Visiting Grandpa Nance's grave in Mountain Green (Riley was taking the picture)

Golden Dynasty...a favorite family restaurant :)

My cousin Joc had her baby in July! He is such a sweetie!

A couple week's after Raegen's wedding we headed to Montana for Kaelyn's birthday and Isaac's blessing. I love going up to visit them! We had such a good time!

Chels made the cutest Minion cupcakes for the party!

Chels gave Kaelyn the candle to lick the frosting off....

But instead she took a bite out of it. It was so funny! She immediately started trying to spit the wax out but she had chewed it up so it was stuck all over her mouth. I couldn't help laughing while trying to help her!

My mom celebrated her 50th birthday in July (can you believe she is 50?) We didn't do anything big. We usually celebrate all of these big occasions just with family and all our family is gone :(

So instead the Grandmas, My parents, Raeg, Beau, and I went to dinner at Maddox!

While we were eating Raeg and I snuck out to decorate their car.

Her birthday is July 2nd and that weekend Logan had their firework show. Wes and Riley were working for Firework's West this summer so we decided to go to the stadium show and stay for their firework show that they put on.

So that about sums up our summer. I'll try to keep posting to keep you all updated :)
