Sweet Summa Time

With only a week and a half left of the semester, Nic and I are finally relaxing! (Even though we should be freaking out about finals!) But we are just so excited to spend this 7-week break doing so many fun things. There are several things that I want to do in Utah, South Dakota, Wyoming, and so many other places. I love this country and I want to get out and see it this summer! The Fourth of July was so fun this year! Nic's family came for that weekend so we got to spend it with them. Nic's mom spoiled us with dinners and much more! Thanks Tamera and Doug, you guys are great.

My amazing family is coming into town next weekend! I'm so excited to see them! It's been four months since Nic and I have been married so that means 4 months since I've seen some of my fam bam and let me tell you what, it's been 4 months too long. Court and Ty are going to EFY here at BYU-I and my brother Grant is graduating! It's an exciting time and with the sun shining, I feel like everything is just ten times better. So, Mom and Dad, have a safe drive down here! We love you!

Ya know, as much as I hate Rexburg in the winter, I love it in the summer! It's so beautiful with trees and rivers. Nic and I have been able to just drive out 20 minutes to a spot where no one is around. We go shooting and just drive around in our new JEEP! There are beautiful fields everywhere you go and these awesome colors that fill a sunset sky. Ya, it's drier than anywhere else, windy as all get out, and the altitude is so high (I can't even run a mile without wheezing) but it's definitely beautiful and fun living here in the mean time.

Although, being here in Rexburg for the summer makes me miss my California sunshine more than anything!!! I am having beach deprivations like crazy. Seriously, I think I dream about the ocean at least 5 times a week. I really hope Nic and I can get the time to come down to SD and have a little mini vacation. I love that I'm from a town that going back to can seem like paradise because that really is what Cbad is! I'd love to see all my amazing friends and talk and talk and talk some more. :) So, Meg, Kaitlin, and Alexa, I know you guys all work at the same place so they're going to have to be deprived of you all for one day so we can all get together.

Nic and I had a fun friday night date at the drive-in theater! I've always wanted to go to one so we went to Craigo's and off to the movie we went. We set our radio to 107.7 FM and just had the best time. We saw Cars 2. It really is a cute movie, a ton different from the first one but I enjoyed it. Nic and I were laughing throughout the whole thing.

Life really is great right now and I could never ask for a better husband. He is so perfect for me. He has made my life so wonderful and I can't wait for all of the years ahead. I love you, Nic. :) P.S. I think I have the right to brag about how handsome my husband is! haha ;) I took this picture when he wasn't looking.
