These are a few of my favorite things.....

August has officially fulfilled all my favorite things of summer!!! To kick it off i spent the first week of August in the happiest place on Earth, IDAHO!!! My mom worked with me in getting a weeks worth of swimming lessons and private lessons lined up so i could earn some money for our upcoming Disneyland trip. It was an exhausting week full of swimming and lots and lots of glitter toes, glitter tattoos and feather extensions! I have so much fun getting to do these services for our swimming moms and kids! The glitter toes have been a huge success, i just wish i could find a clientele like this in Utah! Getting to teach is so much fun too! I was feeling pretty worn out by the end of the week. I totally forgot what hard work it is being in that pool with the hot sun on you for hours shouting instructions over and over, but i'll tell you i love to watch these kids improve by the end of the week. I can't believe i use to teach every morning then run off to my waterpark job till 10 at night! My summers use to be so full of work, work, work!!! I had so much fun getting to spend so much time with my parents. We enjoyed many many night outs at Cafe' Rio, Olive Garden and Pollo Ray!



The day after i came home from Idaho Andy and i packed off and headed off to Lake Powell to meet up with his family! His family are huge Lake Powell goers and it is the highlight of our summer! We stay on a house boat and spend tons of time skiing and wake boarding. My father in law has been hard at work trying to get me up on that ski and i've been getting better! I'm still terrified to go out of the wake but its a lot of fun! Andy is always so much fun to watch behind the boat! He does and awesome job skiing and wake boarding and he loves it so much!
