Time Flies!

I'm a bad blogger. Obviously. Or I'm just lazy.

I had a fun summer! I can't believe it's over and school has started already! How time flies. 

My classes went pretty well. I had such a fun time working in the Preschool on campus. Those kids were so adorable and I learned so much from them! I miss them. 

So after I finished up finals and moved out of my apartment (into a storage unit), Matt and my roommate Brooke and I took a wonderful little roadtrip home to Bothell! It was just fabulous. We were only home for a week, but we had so much fun. Brooke had never been to Seattle or the Great Northwest, so I had a great time showing her around :)

We spent a few days on the Olympic Peninsula, which was just a dream. We had the best weather too!

The Lake Osette Triangle hike along the coast

Family Picture!

Big Trees

Yep, we stayed in Forks

Beautiful Seattle

It was a great few days. Brooke and I also spent a day in Seattle. The weather was gorgeous and we had so much fun! Except when we were trying to find parking...

Brooke loves the ocean!

I finally visited the gum wall. Yuck!

Pike Place!

And the Fremont Troll

Beautiful Deception Pass and Whidbey Island

It was sad to leave lovely Seattle. I love that place. But I was able to look forward to another wonderful week at our family cabin in Utah before school started! It was dreamy.

Really. The Cutest thing EVER.

 We went Kayaking at Mirror Lake with Rosie and Glen! Super fun, Jeffrey may not have thought so though...

The saddest/funniest thing ever.

We decided against it.

My little model.

Grandpa had such a fun time with his Grandson

Hey.

Matt decided to go Kayaking during a downpour...crazy.

He's such a good walker!

Such a great little family :)

pot-bellied Jeffrey.

At the end of the week, we got to go on an adventure up Mount Timpanogos! It was Dad's first time, so it was pretty exciting. As usual, the hike was gorgeous, rugged, and painful. :)

Mountain Goats!

4th time to the top!

Porky the chipmunk. He was harassing me and my food.

We all made it! Here is Dad's proof.

Dad is so rugged.

And because Michelle specifically requested I get a family picture of all of us, we did so. The cabin is the best! 

I also just ran in the Red Rock Relay again for my 3rd year! It was such a blast this year! Even though Matt and Jeff weren't there this time. I was in the Snow Van, which was different that the previous two years (it was easier). I ran about 15 miles total and I felt really good about my runs! It's kind of a crazy thing to do, but I just keep coming back! It's rather exhilarating. 

Now you're caught up with my life. I just started my Senior year at BYU, can you believe it? I can't. I feel kind of old when I tell people I'm a Senior. Oh well, I always see a million people I know on campus everyday, which is super fun. And I actually have lots of friends in my classes now! I moved into the Glenwood, not really any better than the Riviera, but hopefully it will be a good year. Mostly I miss my old roommates a lot, cause last year was kind of a dream come true. All 6 of us just clicked. It was like living in our own little Zion. There was so much love! And now 4 of them are away on missions and Brooke, Olivia, and I are getting to know our 3 new roommates. It's always hard starting over again, cause you actually have to make an effort if you want to hang out with people and make friends. Usually I like making friends, but sometimes I just don't feel like trying...Oh well. I always feel like this at the beginning of a new year. In a few months I'll probably be raving about how I love my ward. It seems good so far, I just need to meet people.

Meanwhile, I will enjoy taking my Advanced Food Prep class, among others, and play some more soccer, because it has kind of become an obsession. :D
