Loved Summer

Alright, I have a lot of catching up to do so bare with me...

Well my summer didn't get off to a great start. I ended up losing my job the begining of June and I was devastated, thought my life was over. Then..... I ended up getting to spend some much needed time with myself, family and friends. I spent a couple weeks in Baggs, Wyoming visiting my family. I got to spend some quality time with my sister floating down the river, watch my brother kick some ass in football and bull riding, had some drinks with my dad and very much enjoyed my mama's cookin. Crazy how much you miss when you live hours away from your family.

When I was back home I was hanging out at the pool with friends and heading up the canyon every weekend with Dave and family for the hunting season, unfortunately Dave didn't have any luck getting a deer this season in Utah. Alicia and I took Gracie to the carnival and she LOVED it, she would wave at us like a little beauty queen. We celebrated lots of birthdays this summer, which means lots of cake and well... I think that's the best part of birthdays! Autum and I tried our hardest to get baby Kanyon out of Alicia's belly, he was very stubborn and didn't come until the day before she was getting induced but we are so happy to have him here now. He is the sweetest baby boy! My friend Karina also took me to my very first Hanson concert... Yes I am talking about the Hanson brothers band. Everyone got a good laugh out of us sitting in line from 8:00 am until the concert started at 7:00 pm but it was actually a pretty damn good time, thanks again Karina!! Oooh and how could I forget Dave and I went with Colby, Autum, McCoy & Kylee for McCoy's first trip to Hogle Zoo. We had a BLAST!! Can't wait for the next Zoo trip when he will know more of what is going on!!

Dave and I ended our summer season back in Baggs, Wyoming to finish up the hunts.. It was a VERY successful hunting season up there. I believe all in all they got 8 deer, 3 antelope and 3 elk, my parents even had to go get a new deep freezer to fit all the meat in. We definitely won't be having to buy any meat at the store for a while.. My summer ended a lot better than it had started and I did come to realize that my life wasn't over just because I got laid off. I haven't got to enjoy the summer and holidays like that since High School and it sure felt good!!!
