This year for the 24th of July, we went boating with my family. Greg had to request it off far in advance & I was so happy he was able to take off work. He is a very hard worker and is ALWAYS working. He never likes to take off work and is very dedicated. Every night I see my tired hubby come home from a long day and I can tell it stresses him out sometimes , he works very hard to support our little family. I was very happy to see him have fun boating yesterday I love his laugh & smile so even though I couldn't go on the tubes alot I was so happy to see him have a great time. I am so thankful for my amazing husband and for all he does I love him so much thank you baby.

Greg's favorite season Summer is finally here, I like it but I would rather it be fall ALWAYS!! Summer is so fun though Greg just loves it. We both love camping  and taking lond drives , we just love the mountains. So far this summer has been great. It started out good when I passed my written test for my boards. Than after that we have gone to see Eclipse(Greg made me wear this stupid shirt and go at 11:45 at night) ha ha no seriously though Greg is such a fun hubby. Ok he is no big fan , what guy is?? however he was such a great hubby, he dressed up with me & wore a huge edwards shirt I got him , it was for sure a fun night. and he liked this movie the best out of the 3 he said. he actually said it was made well. We have also been camping, it was just for one night up at monte cristo but it was tons of fun. 4th of July was fun this year as well, Hubby had to work late so we barely cought the hooper fireworks friday night but he had all day sunday off to do fireworks with our whole family and of course the men in our family love the bottle rockets & were shooting at each other with them WOW. ha ha anyways summer has been fun and we are exciting for upcoming events & our future , in just a month I will be graduated and we will be onto the next chapter in our beautiful life together.p.s CONGRATS to my two little darling niece's kendal & ella they graduated pre-school they are growing up so fast.

Labor day campout this year was so much fun. I am so happy Greg was able to come home with me for the campout.We needed some time away from the many stresses of the world. But I miss him so much since he left to go back to Missouri for 3 weeks. Team Edward vs Team Jacob was so much fun this year ,we are so sad all the family couldnt have been there to have fun with us. Team Jacob won Capture the flag this year but Team Edward won wter balloon volleyball. My dad also treated us all to the alpine slide/coaster because all of us kids guessed all his 14 jobs he has had in his life. This year I have had the chance to really bond with my sister Jodi & I just wanna make a shoutout to her letting her know how much I appreciate her & value our relationship. Camping is so much fun & Greg & I both love it. This year we were able to stay in a ten together where as last year we were just dating so he had to stay in a tent with my dad that is when he asked my dad for my hand in marriage!! They get along great it is funny to see the two of them tease each other & give each other crap sometimes if it goes on to long they start to really fight but its still fun to watch. I am so excited for many more memmories to be made with out traditional Labor Day campout!! Here are some pics of the fabulous time we had!!!

Ok, finally we are at the last place we are living for the summer before we head back to Utah,we are now current Residents of Wilmington,NC -home of one tree hill(for those of you who don't know what that is it's a show on tv that I am totally hooked on.) This is now the 3rd place Greg & I have lived for the summer. First we started out in Columbus,Georgia(we lived on the border so we technically were in Alabama as well) That place was nice not to much to do but it was really pretty. The second place we lived was Fayetville,NC & I hated it there it was really a dirty,ghetto place. Finally we are in a fun town. We live in a tourist town 5 minutes away from the beach so we have done boogy boarding,walks on the beach at night & there is amazing seafood here. Its so pretty here & we love it. Its like all our summer fun has just began but we only are here for 3 more weeks!!! We are going to do lots of fun stuff though to top off the summer. Other good news is our apartment is right in the area where the reps sell so Greg gets to stay home with me & wait for Installs to come in ,where before he had to be gone all day because the reps sold a half hour away. I enjoy having him here all day with me & Jax but sometimes he gets in my way ha ha.So all in all this summer has been a huge change for me such as being away from my "bubble" in Utah,I have never been away from home this long before,Greg is use to being away from home because he is originally from Denver but moved to Utah to go to school.This has helped us become closer and has strengthened our marriage Tremendously. I have gotten to experience seeing how other people live, and living in the east where they are so different which is not what I am used to. When I went home to Utah to visit a couple weeks ago I remember feeling this feeling of comfort people are so nice in Utah compared to people here.Also I don't get lost in Utah like I do out here ha ha. We are so excited to move back soon, we have missed our family. We are looking forward to going home celebrating my birthday,& I am excited to start school up again & graduate in three or four months.Also Greg and I both love camping so we are excited to go on the big labor day campout on my side of the family.I will always remember this experience & the ups and downs .We will see you all in three weeks.

So I had the chance to go home and visit my family in Utah over July 24th. It was a good trip it helped me realize how much I love my family & how much I value my husband & am thankful for him. He stayed here in NC because he has to make us some money ha ha but me & Jax flew out for 9 days in Utah. Yes thats right Jax our baby pup flew on a 4 hour plane ride & he did amazing,I am not going to lie the flight going to Utah sucked for me because I was smack dab in the middle next to a lady who smelled like bad b.o & another lady who was so snobby. It was a long four hours. Jax just layed in his carrier and didnt even bark he truly is such a great little dog. On the positive side the flight going home was much better I had a window seat and the seat next to me was empty so I was able to put Jax's carrier there and they also allowed him to come out and sit on my lap here & there. When I got to Utah I had the chance to spend some time with my little sister Jen I just wanna take this time to let her know how proud of her I am she is such a strong woman who I admire so much. However I was in tons of pain on my trip because I had to get a tooth pulled and it is very painful still. But that didnt stop me from having such a good time on my trip . we went camping,we had movie night at my brothers house me,my sister in law Katee,jeni,payton & ausha. Katee made this delicious chex mix but all I could eat was milkshakes at the time. I spent some time with my parents who I love very much & thank them for letting me & Jax stay at their house. Jax loved Dusty (my moms dog) but he really loved Tula my brothers little Yorkie they just have so much fun with each other. My sister Jeni & I took our nieces Kendal,Ella & Grace to the Roy aquatic center to swim Kendal is such a little water bug & Ella is so funny she loves to take care of others especially Kendal ha ha. I also had some people who wanted their hair done so I actually did their hair the day I got my tooth pulled but I loved it I just loved staying busy and doing stuff,I have been so bored this summer not having anything to do while Gregs at work. My trip was fun,towards the end I think I was just ready to go home because I missed my husband so much nine days is such a long time & we were missing each other the first day I was gone. When Greg picked us up at the airport you could tell Jax missed his daddy he was jumping all over him giving him kisses it was so cute. When I saw Greg I felt this instant feeling of relief and peace. I am glad to be home & am excited we only have six more weeks out here!!

My summer days do not consist of much excitement.Greg & I are living in Wilmington, North Carolina for the summer. He works for APX security. So I had to make some sacrifices to come here for the summer. Such as school & working. Alot of people would love to trade me right now & have the summer off to just relax & trust me it was nice at first but it gets old very fast.It gives me alot of time to organize stuff & relax but I would much rather be going to school & working. We dont live in the safest part of town & its hard to get out and walk Jax. So I staying in all day drives me insane. Thankfully my parents came & paid us a visit this last week & it was so good to get out & spend time with them,I have truly missed them. Right before my parents came out my dad had something terrible happen to him I can't remember what its called but one day he woke up with his whole left side of his face paralized. He went to the hospital & thank goodness it will go away but in time. So he still came out & I know that was hard for him but I loved having him & my mom here. We did so many fun things one day my dad wanted to rest & greg had to work so me & my mom had a girls day & drove a hour out to this flea market. We wanted to go because the last time we went to one was in Florida a couple yrs ago & we loved it. Well unfortunetly by the time we got there & were so excited it was really ghetto & reminded us of the D.I but worse. We were extremely disapointed. However we did find fun outlet stores & were able to get suvineers there. The rest of the trip we did tons of fun things. Greg had to work some of the days so one day my parents,me & Jax went down to Mertal Beach it was so fun. Lots of fun shops & the beach was awesome. Jax did so good coming with us he just stayed in my perce & was so calm the whole time. We ate at this amazing buffet by Cape Fear river,it was expensive but worth it. The rest of the vacation Greg was able to be with us. We went to this fun amusement park called Carowinds in Charlotte. But I think everybodys favorite part was Washington D.C,we drove up there and got a room & went & saw the temple,it was beautiful. My dad really enjoyed this because he went to Washington D.C on his mission. When we went to the temple it was night time and nobody was there so it was peaceful & quiet as we walked around it. I got goosbumps when I saw it from the freeway it was so bright. Everybody was telling me the city had to turn down the lights on it cuz it was blinding people on the freeway. It was just an amazing experience that I will never forget & sharing that with my husband made it that much better. We also visited the white house & lincoln memorial. It was so exciting. The trip was fun & I am so glad my parents came to visit. Bless their hearts for traveling so far. I am excited to see them again along with the rest of my family in July when Jax and I come to visit. and thanks To my sister in law Katee I now have a new favorite hobby scrapbooking. She is just so awesome she knows how I feel out here away from the family because she to has been out of state with Kyle during summers so she bought me a scrapbooking kit. I just wanna thank her so much & let her know how much I love her & appreciate her.
