Long Hot Summer

Where to begin............

So much on my mind, and life is SO GOOD!

(Disclosure: this will NOT be an organized blog post)

I'm back in Provo, getting into the swing of things, and more motivated than ever to accomplish my goals.

(296 days to Olympic Trials!!)

I have the best major ever.... I absolutely love my classes and love that they're actually going to help me be a good teacher. (no more GE's, WHOOOOO!!!!!!)

Oh random-

Isn't it weird how certain things/objects remind you of certain people, places, or times?

Today I washed my hair with this: 

Herbal Essences "Hello Hydration"

Don't ask me WHY I bought shampoo and conditioner that offers EXTRA hydration...

My hair is well hydrated thanks to my second home, the pool.

But that's besides the point-

This stuff reminded me of showering at Liberty Square before church last year... and made me miss sophomore year a little bit!

It's funny how a certain lotion can remind you of a certain person.

Or how a certain sound can remind you of being home.

Or how a certain song can remind you of a certain summer...

Ok, TOTALLY cliche but I have been obsessed with this song since March!!

I may or may not have listened to it on repeat every day for all of

March, April, May, June, and July.

(that may be an exaggeration, but probably not)

Anyways.

k. getting caught up:

So... one of my best friends in the entire world got married on August 18, in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple. It was a BEAUTIFUl day and it couldn't have been any more perfect.

Bachelorette party! and unsurprisingly, my eyes are closed. classic.

We got to spend a week in Cali after nationals...

I LOVE how goofy my family is

This was a random night. Feeding ducks

Addy Marsh!

I was just feeling nostalgic... I love my buddies! They're so little in this picture!

Drew started kindergarten last week, and had to fill out a questionnaire about himself. One of the questions was "What makes you happy?"

 He said, "when my sister comes home from college."

MY HEART MELTED. 

I love my family so so much!

Anyways.

Long hot summer by Keith Urban... go listen to it!

This will forever be the theme song of the best summer of my entire life!

I can honestly say that I have never been happier than I am right now, but can't wait for this next crazy year and whatever trials I'm supposed to face! 

Junior year!!!

BRING IT ON.
