Recap of Summer

This summer sure has flown by! It seems like just yesterday I was graduating from high school, packing my bags and heading to college. Now I have completed my first term at BYU, lived on my own for 2 months (and loved every minute of it), met lots of people, and made many new friends, and in between all the studying managed to do lots of fun things. A few of my favorite memories from this summer (in no particular order)...

Bowling at the Wilk

Me, Zach and Courtney

Me and Jess

Our (not so) impressive scores...I won with a whopping 78!

Movies in the Park, watching "I am Legend", and a really funny B&W film with Marylin Monroe, "Some like it Hot", on a homemade projector screen

4th of July with the Family in Logan and Sydney's Baptism

Cousins, Brittany and Evan having fun


Watching Fireworks with Keegan


Baptism Girl, Sydney Fay and Corinne


watching the Car show on Main St.

Walking back poor, little Evan couldn't keep his pants up!

Going to the Farmer's Market with Courtney, Jess and Michelle...getting leather bracelets, holding a bunny, eating yummy tacos and getting Pie Shakes at Sammy's

Michelle, Jess and Court

Going to Music and the Spoken Word with Brandon, Zach, Jess and Court, walking around Temple Square, then having a delicious Sunday dinner with Courtney's family! and how could I forget Dancing with Dweebs, laughing hysterically at absolutely nothing, playing the "Fortune telling" game, and then Fondue party later that night

Me, Brandon, Zach and Courtney...

one of my favorite pictures!

DANCING WITH DWEEBS

Fondue Party

Doing an extremely funny skit at our Ward's variety show

Me, Alex, Blake, Jess, Brian, Court and Cesar
It may appear like we are just sitting there, but we were actually doing a skit- it was quite fun but you really had to be there to fully understand it.

Ice Blocking with our FHE group

Closing Social/Water Party for our ward

Group shot

playing a game...we had to consume whatever we pulled out of a bag as fast as we could
(lets just say I didn't do that well, especially since I hardly ever drink soda)

Check out Jessica's amazing form going down the slip 'n slide!

Playing the Disney Game out on the grass in front of our building

Dance parties in the kitchen with Court and Jess

Waffles for dinner

Making Zucchini bread


Eating all the hunks out of the peanut butter ice cream

Cheetos Battle between Court and Michelle

Frantically mopping the kitchen floor before cleaning checks with Michelle


Making cupcakes for Michelle's 18th Birthday, then surprising her in the stairwell


Getting dressed up and going to the Blue Tie Affair dance on campus

Studying after calculus with Jarrett, Dallin and Aaron

Watching the meteor shower up in the Canyon and having a mini astronomy lesson...I wish I had brought my camera for that!

Tunnel singing Sunday night

And countless nights sitting outside and talking with friends



Looking back I really did a lot of things this summer! Its been a great beginning to my time here at BYU. Although I miss my family, friends and home in California, I'm having lots of fun and wouldn't trade this experience for anything. So here's to a memorable summer and all that the future has in store!
