Go to a concert

I have been to two concerts this summer.
The fist one was in Salt lake. It was just
 couple of local bands that played.
I really enjoyed some of the bands.

The second concert is called the Concert

on the Roof, and it is just what it says.

The concert was on the roof of a small

parking garage. We had to get there early

so we could save our seats, and man 

was it hot. I was super smart and wore 

a black shirt too. There was a couple 

openers and then the main band. I 

forgot what they are called but all 

their songs were from  the Beatles.

 It was a fun night with Amy, Natalie and

Amy's friend.

Natalie and I waiting in the hot sun.

In 13 days......

IM GOING TO

HAWAII!!!!!

YAAAY!

I'f you can't tell I am really excited!

My parents are taking my cousin, Hillarie,

and I to The Big Island on the 10th.

The last time I went to Hawaii I was about

8. I can't wait! The days aren't
going by fast enough.

Bush Wedding

Last month I had the opportunity to take my 

friend Carly's wedding pictures. I thought I

 would just post some of the pictures I took.

Happy Birthday, America

This 4th of July I was happy to be home.

Last year I stayed in Utah, and I missed

the usual tradition. The city shoots

fireworks on the 3rd of July, so the whole

 family gathered yesterday at the park for 

food, games and fireworks.

Today, some of the family met up at

 the cabin for some fishing and hanging

out. I love going to the cabin. It is always

 so relaxing and peaceful. 

Honestly, I don't thing there is any other

way that I rather spend my time then with

my family. I am so grateful that I have such

a close family. I am also very grateful for 

this beautiful and free country that I live in! 

Happy 4th of July!!

"BL"("Bucket list") #2...

Watch a TV series from the first episode to last.

I guess it's no surprise that I finished this

item fist since I don't have much going on

right now. The TV series that I decided on

watching was Wildfire. I watched the first

season when it started, but stopped watching

it for some reason. I remembered how much I 

liked it then, and I liked it just as much now.

I didn't want the show to end. When I

got to the last season I started watching them

 less to savor the show, but it couldn't have ended

any better. If you have netflix, you should

 definitely give it a try!

Gavin turns 1

Yesterday  was my nephews first birthday!

I remember a year ago, throwing my clothes in
my suitcase and driving to NM to see him. Now
he is one year older, and couldn't be any cuter.

For his birthday we went to the pool with some family.
He wasn't too interested in the water, but had a great
time crawling around and exploring.

It was also fun to be there with my family.
I enjoyed the warm sun and watching the kids
 play. I had a feeling when I was packing that I
should bring my swim suit, but I of course didn't.
It was still fun though.

I hope you had a fun 1st birthday Gav Man!

Learning Through Remodeling

Since I can't find a stinking job in

Utah, I decided to come home for

 a little bit to see if my parents could

keep me busy. A month ago my parents

started remodeling the house. We got the

walls retextured, new carpet, new countertops

 and wood floors. When I fist came home I didn't

 even have a bed. I slept on 3 memory foams. It 

wasn't  too bad, but I was really happy when
I got my bed back.

At one point we had no countertops, sink or stove. 

The granite people put boards on the cabinets for a

  little bit. Not for our convenience, just to measure.

We didn't have carpet in certain sports for a long time. 

You had to wear your shoes, or be extremely careful 

where you stepped.

  

Since we were having wood floor being put in 

the kitchen, the refrigerator couldn't be in there. 

It had to take some getting use to in this spot.

All this construction was a good learning experience
for me.  We forget how lucky and blessed we are
to have all of these things. Some people live with
dirt floors, have no counter tops, stoves, sinks,
refrigerators, beds ect. Once they (kind of) get
 taken away from you, you realize how blessed
you are to have them. I was grateful for this
reminder even if it was annoying at times.
