What a way to end the summer

I am sad to say that my summer break is over. School officially starts on Monday. It has been an interesting summer; especially the last week or so! 

It was a summer of fun,

a summer of learning,

realizing blessings,

saying goodbye to loved ones,

saying hello to new opportunities & experiences,

and of falling in love. 

So, now it's on with getting ready for school to start on Monday and planning a wedding along with everything else that goes along with it all. Luckily we have the hardest part done. We have chosen a date, a venue and I even picked out my dress! I'm getting more excited with each coming day! I am excited for the upcoming changes & welcome the challenges that come with it all... hopefully without too much stress! 

I hope you all had a fabulous summer :)

I'm Getting Married!

Yup, you read that correctly.

I am getting married!

I am super excited and can't wait to start this new chapter in my life.

He even picked out the ring all on his own! I was quite impressed. 

Doesn't it look totally GORGEOUS?!!!

It's been an exciting day. 

I hope you all had a fabulous day as well! 

Lava Hot Springs

 Not even 24 hours after returning from an amazing girls only weekend in Park City, I left for Lava Hot Springs with my boyfriend and his family. It was loads of fun! We were only there for a day and a half but it was long enough to get in a little sun & surf. We arrived Sunday afternoon and spent the afternoon wandering the town and just hanging out. Later that evening Lenny & I enjoyed the hot pools (which, I must say would be much more enjoyable if it were cooler weather - but it was still very fun). Monday we got up and he & the kiddos hit the river before we all headed to the pools. We spent the better part of the day at the pool before heading back home to the SLC. It was a great fun filled weekend to say the least :)

Park City = Girls Only!!

This past weekend was our 2nd annual 

GIRLS ONLY weekend in Park City.

While in Park City we enjoyed...

Shopping, the Utah Olympic Park, the Utah Symphony at Deer Valley and of course, the Park City Arts Festival. It was a jam packed weekend but we LOVED every minute of it! 

Day 1: Shopping 

Mia was a little pooped after a full day of shopping.

 Tradition says we MUST eat at the Baja Cantina (Never mind the fact that it is super tasty!)

 I couldn't help but take a million pics of my FAVORITE niece and her adorable ponytail.

 Day 2: The Olympic Park - zip lines, alpine slides & watching ski jumpers practice

 Utah Symphony at Deer Valley

Day 3 was the Arts Festival.. I was too busy looking at all the AMAZING art to take any pictures... Oh well.. maybe next year! 

It was a fabulous weekend. I can't wait until next years three-peat :) 

 

Photo Class!

I LOVE groupon!

A few weeks ago I saw a deal for a photo class and figured I would give it a shot.

Can't hurt to learn about what I love to do, right?
Here are a few of my favorite shots from class.
