The end to my Birthday week

The week ended with Great food and beautiful views!

I was able to eat at Gingers! My favorite cafe, in Springville

I always get the cashew ginger smoothie its so good!

Then on friday night we went out to dinner up at Sundance at the Grill!

Sundance is so amazing with really great food its a perfect place to celebrate birthdays(like i did) or just head up there for a great dinner date!

On sunday we went up to my uncles house in Park City for dinner and a hike

Midway

We took the 224 home from Park City and it drops you into midway. During the winter the road is closed but during the summer its such a beautiful drive 

Yes that is a moose we spotted from the road

Morgans wedding

Morgan and I grew up together, we have always been close. She has always been one of my best friends and this weekend she got married!

Thursday night we went to their wedding dinner out at Jared's house up in woodland hills. The dinner was perfect they served BBQ and gelato. There was a lot of close friends that drove up from Oregon so it was really fun eating dinner with them and catching up.

Morning ill never forget at 11,749 feet

The Morning of my 21st birthday Josh came up 

with the idea to climb up Timpanogos Mountain 

so we could see the sunrise at the summit. Our adventure started at 12:45am so we could be above sundance at the trail and walking by 1:30 on our way we picked up Dane. At the trail head we met up with my uncle Jim. It took us 4 hours to hike 7.5 miles, 4,580 feet gained. On our way up we used our headlamps to guide us. We were set off the trail only twice which is pretty good for not ever previously going passed Emerald lake.

Me and Josh watching the sunrise

It was freezing when we got up to the summit, so glad I packed in two jackets 

Josh made me rice-crispy treats and carried them to the top so i could blow out a candle

Jim,Me,Dane and Josh at the summit

When we got up to the Summit there was 10 other people up there and it was so awesome everyone sang happy birthday! After we Watched the sun come up it was too cold to just hang out up there so we quickly made our way back on the trail

On our way back down we saw mountain goats. This goat was losings its winter coat and had its baby 

me and dane
It was much easier crossing this glacier in the day.

Emerald lake

The Wildflowers were amazing covering all the hills, truly breathtaking 

On the hike you cross so many waterfalls 

This was a great start to my 21st Birthday. I would be lying if I didn't tell you that it was hard. The last 2 1/2 hours were long,hard and very tiring I truly was exhausted from the hike.Pictures do not do this hike justice even though Josh took all these really great pictures!But it was well worth it!I would highly recommend seeing the sunrise and doing this hike.

July 4th through the 10th

4th of July Gang: Josh, Me, Copper, Zeke, Priscilla, Neena, Andy

For the 4th of July we went over to Neena and Andy's grandmas house, with a pool, and had a great BBQ and saw a firework show. I could not have asked for a better 4th of July!

Friday and Saturday I worked the 3B booth with Josh

Friday. Provo has free concerts the first friday of every month and I'm lucky enough that 3B yoga Sponsor the concerts so I get to go work at the 3B Yoga booth. This concert was all Tom Petty songs which is great because it brings me back to my high schools days! Then on Saturday 3B sponsors races all over Utah County so Josh and I went and set up a booth at the finnish line.  Its so inspiring seeing everyone cross the finish line.

Car Problems

Josh also worked on his bike Saturday. This past week has been bad news for all our modes of transportation

Sunday Hike

Sunday we always try and go on a hike. This week we went back up to a waterfall we really enjoy hiking to. The small and secluded waterfall is off a section of bonniville shoreline trail that hugs the south side of Provo canyon.

Josh and our neighbor Taylor

Taylor's poor wife has to work on sundays so taylor  brings their dog along for the hikes. after you get to the water fall theres a single track that hugs you along the side of the mountain that Brings you to some really cool rock formations you can climb on!

Jeremy Josh's brother comes with us sometimes on sunday hikes.

 Nothing better then YOGA on a rock

Big Springs in 90 Degree weather

On monday Josh didn't start work tell 2 and I didn't work at all so we decided to go up to one of our favorite Mountain bike trails up Provo canyon called Big Springs. It was so hot, there were many times I thought I was going to pass out but the great thing about Big Springs is that the last half of your ride your by waters crossing the creek back and fourth over wooden bridges keeping the temperature bearable, plus your going down hill. Mountian biking in Utah is amazing and we have so many single track trails right out our back door.

First Half of our Idaho Trip

Last saturday we made our way up to logan for Josh's cousins wedding in the Logan temple.  It was Beautiful!

Idaho 

After the wedding in the morning we got in the car and drove to Idaho Falls

for the reception Saturday night it was in the back yard of Josh's uncle and aunts house and they did such a great job decorating the back yard it look great. For the rest of our trip Josh and I pitched a tent in their back yard, I haven't slept that good in a really long time. On Monday we went boating with all of Josh's cousins.

Josh throwing down a tantrum on the wakeboard! why is he good at everything with a board?

Wakeboarding  

 It was a great getting back on the the boat. When we were on our last run pulling a wakeboard the boat died, we were out of gas... With some great luck we were right next to a camp site, luckily the people camping there were nice enough to tow as back to a dock.

Unfortanently it wasn't the same dock we put in at. So after searching for cell phone service we were finally able to talk josh's uncle. A trip to the other dock to pick up the trailer and 4 hours later, we were saved!! 12pm we arrived back at the house.....long day at the lake! 

The sunset over Ririe Reservoir

Lying on the pavement next to a cigarette trying to stay warm waiting for our ride 

Pulling out of the lake 

 Even though it was a long day I would do it all over again. I always forget how much I love boating and being out in the water.
