Even though the both of us were way busy with work all summer, we somehow found time to do alot of fun things. Chris ran several 5k's, The Salt Lake Marathon and a 17 mile run through a canyon north of salt lake. He even convinced me to run a 5k, The Race for the Cure.
In June, I got to join the girls (my sister, mom and some of her friends) on the annual girls' weekend at Country Jam in Grand Junction, CO. We got to see a ton of awesome shows including Sugarland, Joe Nichols, Josh Turner and my favorite, Tim McGraw! It was such a blast, I definately hope I'm on the invite list for next year!
In August we were crazy busy! My parents came to visit for a weekend of golfing and a James Taylor concert. We had a blast and it was so great to be able to hang out with them since the next time we see them isn't until Christmas :(
Then we threw our first Murder Mystery party. The theme was "Back to the 80's." Everyone got way into their characters and the outfits were like totally RAD!
We also went to Lake Tahoe for my friend, Diana's, wedding. It was so beautiful and the weather was amazing! The rehearsal dinner was on a yacht out in the middle of the lake for about 50 people. Then the wedding ceremony and luncheon was held at the clubhouse of the Edgewood Golf Course. It was such a great ceremony and of course the bride was stunning! That evening, we all boarded a bus that took us to a private beach for horseshoes, dancing and a fun BBQ. What a great weekend! Thank you to Diana and Cailean for including us in their special day!!!
August also included a very sad loss of Chris' Grandmother Jean Powell. She meant so much to everyone around her and she is missed greatly by all the family! We took a weekend to go to Mountain View, WY for a beautiful memorial. After a lunch with all the family, we hiked up the mountain that houses her cabin that she LOVED! Near the top, the trail opened up to a big grassy field where 2 huge pine trees stood and where her husband's ashes had been spread under one of the trees only about a year earlier. We took time to spread her ashes and enjoy being together. It was a very special day for all of us.
We were so lucky to be able to have such a great summer, and look forward to football in the fall and a fun Panama trip over Christmas!!!
