Before the flu hit, there was some fun thankfully. We went to the Anberlin concert last Friday night before heading up to Logan for the weekend. For those who don't realize the significance of Anberlin, I shall inform you that we met at one of their concerts. Yes, they know. No, they did not respond to their wedding invitation. But the concert was the best I've ever been to. It was completely acoustic and was seriously so gorgeous. Not sure if that makes sense as an adjective for a concert but you'd understand if you were there. Ask us to show you videos sometime. We will.
Saturday Darrell went mountain biking while I went to breakfast with Alyssa. Both were delightful. Then we headed up to Bear Lake with Darrell's parents and Mariah. Mariah rented an inflatable kayak for us to use from the ORP so we had a good time with that and playing in the sun all afternoon. It was my first time to the north end of the lake and I'd say the drive is worth it. Everyone else had shakes on the way back out of town while my flu's sudden onset caused the ride home to take a lot longer than planned. Don't get me started on how dumb it is for them to keypad lock those bathrooms at Second Dam. Not cool. Further details aside, we made it back and spent the night and most of the next day in Smithfield.
On to this week...
Monday we got to see one of my cousins and her family while they were in town from Washington. We spent some time Tuesday with another cousin who is moving to Taiwan with her family in a couple weeks. Wednesday night we got packed up after YM/YW meetings, took a quick nap and then headed up Rock Canyon during the night. We set up hammocks at the top (hammock camping=our new favorite thing) and then headed back down in the morning. Fortunately we have the most incredible snow cone shack by our house so we shared this beauty (yep, that's the small size) in the name of re-hydration.
We spent most of the rest of the 4th of July getting things done around the house and napping before heading out to watch the Stadium of Fire fireworks from afar.
Sadly, Friday and Saturday were spent working. That does mean I'm coming up on a three day weekend this week though! Don't know what we're going to do with it yet, so feel free to offer suggestions. Friday night we went to dinner with friends at Communal and then we watched Warm Bodies on recommendation. Reviews: restaurant-pricey but super delicious and high quality, movie-quirky and kind of funny. Saturday Darrell took apart my car door to try to fix my window, that sweet guy. He also got to demo a snazzy mountain bike so that was probably his favorite part of the day. Tonight we went to see another set of cousins who are moving away this week to Texas and got to have dinner and play games with them. I swear, we aren't driving all these people to move away. Well, I don't think we are at least.
And now that I've reached the end of the post, I do have pity on anyone who reads our blog. I made it this far, why not post a few pictures? I'll even put most of them here at the end so they feel like a reward. Hopefully they all still make sense even out of context.
We are hoping we'll have news about the short sale we have an offer on by next post. Sorry for those who already know about it but haven't gotten updates-we don't have much information to offer, as well as to those who just had never heard anything about it. More information will come and frankly, I'm a tiny superstitious so we weren't telling many people until we heard back for sure. The bank that's running the short sale is killing the information flow and the process though so at this point I figure, what the heck?
