Well the first two days of this holiday weekend were way more fun than I thought they would be! Can I just say I'm so grateful for friends?!
My family left on Thursday night for Nouvoo (with my parents and siblings) so I am all alone. I cried like a baby when they left. I was so afraid of being a lost little puppy that I tried really hard to keep myself busy. Well, I stayed so busy, I was late for everything I found to do!
I got up on Friday the 4th and went to our Ward Breakfast at the church. While there, I made plans with a friend to go see 'Made of Honor' and we loved it. It's a very fun show! Then we came to my house and played Guitar Hero. Always a hit. That evening I went to a BBQ with some friends from school. We had a great time, especially because there was delicious juice and fruit pizza. How can you not have a great time when delicious juice is involved? We decided not to walk to Sugarhouse Park for fireworks, the original plan, but we set up camp in the backyard and could see the show just fine anyway! The fireworks were amazing! I LOVE fireworks!
Today, I decided I was going to go to the gym and swim laps, something I haven't done in a very long time. Michael suggested I ride my bike to the gym, then swim. So I got on my bike, rode the almost 5 miles there, laid by the pool (and did a few laps, with mostly arms to get some sort of upper body workout in) and laid by the pool for a little while longer. Then got back on my bike and rode the almost 5 miles home, which almost killed me. I realized on the way back, that the ride there wasn't because I was "in the zone" as I had hoped, but it was mostly downhill. Yeah, that means it was mostly uphill on the way home. I was already tired, and it was 98 degrees, so that's why I almost died. But I'm okay.
Next, after a much needed shower, I went to the wedding of a friend I worked with at Huntsman. They got married at East Canyon Resort and it was beautiful! And, I had a fantastic time! I saw all (well most) of my old crew and was there for the ceremony (at 2:30), the time in between, and for most of the reception, which started at 5:30. I didn't leave until 8. It was hot and we danced like fools and loved every minute of it! We even followed the kids example and ran through the fountain before the night was over. I sure miss my girls up there!
Not a great photo, but it was taken with my phone, which doesn't zoom. (Michael has the camera on vacation.) It was so pretty and Krystal looked amazing! These were flowers that were growing wild on the way up the canyon. I know you can't tell because this picture was taken with my phone again, but these flowers were such a vibrant purple and they were in red soil, so they stood out even more. They were so pretty I pulled over and took a few shots.
So since I haven't done any homework yet this weekend, and that was all I thought I would do, I guess I know what is planned for tomorrow!
I know this is already longer than you want to read, but a little brag note: my last two finals I have scored 97% and 91%. Go me! =)

Yay for you! Will you be my personal trainer?
Hey good job on the bike ride and swimming! I had my wedding and reception at East Canyon too! Loved it, it was so green! I love seeing what you and your little family are up to. Good job on school too!
It sounds like you are doing good. It is hard to be alone but you are working toward a great goal so hang in there.
We missed you at the reunion, it was fun and we had several come that haven't been there for a while. We hope that you will join us soon at a Clark Reunion.
Well good luck in school!!!
10 days to yourself! That sounds fabulous and miserable all at the same time! It sounds like you're doing good, though, and staying busy. Keep up the good work!
Grats on your finals! That's awesome. :) Sounds like you did a great job keeping yourself busy over the 4th of July weekend. Biking and swimming...you should enter a triathlon.
Glad you had a good weekend but we sure missed you a lot! It wasn't the same without you. Mom cried nearly every time she talked about it.
Caleb is still asking for Nander and Keege. He had so much fun with them. The first night he could barley stand up they had him laughing so hard. They were so cute together. I'm sure you've heard all about it.
Congrats on your finals scores! What a smartie pants you are.
Love you!
Marielle
I'm so glad your first couple of days were good. We missed you so much on the trip.
Awesome! on the biking and swimming! Sounds like you're doing well. Congratulations on finals! It so good to see pictures of all of you to get some sort of update! Miss ya.
