Summer!

I've been trying to be good about updating the blog. If I don't have anything I've been thinking about or anything incredible to report, I usually don't write. But I've been up to a lot so I thought I'd tell about it.

First of all, I don't have a job which is great socially, but stinks financially. My intention wasn't to be a total slacker, but my schedule is packed with other obligations and vacations, therefore preventing me from holding a job where I can't take time off whenever I want. I'll be home in Washington the entire month of August and hopefully be able to work for a few weeks.

I was told Provo was really fun during the Spring and Summer and so I've been putting that statement to the test. So far they've been right. I'm having a blast. I play volleyball a lot, attend ever ward activity or social gathering, and am never home between 5 pm and Midnight. I go camping, have bon fires, take bike rides, go swimming, read a TON of books, and pray for sunshine. Unfortunately, my camera is sick, and so I don't have any documentation of my own to share.

Last night there was a festival in Springville with carnival rides, food booths, and a live band. It was so great to be outside in the festival setting. It reminded me of the festival in Moses Lake, so naturally I felt very much like I was back in Washington. I bought a scone and homemade root beer and danced to "You're the One" and "Dancin' In the Moonlight." The band was really good. I wished Paula had been there and then we could have really danced. It's amazing how much live music makes you want to groove. The night ended with fireworks, which was pretty impressive for such a small town. Summer is THE BEST. There's not much better than a season filled with barbecues, tanning, boating, rodeos, and festivals.

Here's to 3 more months before it's September. Make the most of it!
