What a beauty.

So I've been a blog stalker lately. I've been reading all of my friend's blogs, but have been to lazy to update my life. So I figured it's time to post pictures about our summer (which sadly was 3 months ago), and what's been happening lately.

So this summer we went on a trip with Ryan's parents to the Mediterranean. We started in Barcelona, then headed to Nice, Florence, Rome, Dubrovnik, Venice, Split, and Amalfi. It was beautiful and such an awesome trip. There was a heat wave in Europe during our trip, so we had many stops with 100 degree weather and serious humidity. Our favorite places we visited were Dubrovnik and Positano. Dubrovnik was so beautiful and so picturesque, I'd love to stay there all summer! It's definitely a spot you should consider visiting. The water was so calm and clear, and the people were so friendly. I had no idea how beautiful Croatia is. Our second favorite spot was just North of Amalfi in Positano. It was definitely one of the most beautiful coastal cities I've been to. So much life, relaxation, delicious food, beautiful clothing, and art work. The water was so nice and warm because of the black rock. It was a wonderful trip, and we were so so lucky that our parents brought us along. They're amazing.

In August we went to Lake Powell and stayed on a house boat for a week. It was so relaxing, I always enjoy laying out in the hot sun, and swimming in the cool lake. I also got to practice my wake boarding skills, which was nice. We had such a good time, and remembering all of these trips makes me miss summer time. It's nice and hot out here, but it's just not the same when you're in school and working.

So now I'm back in school, my last semester, wahoo! I'm running 20+ miles a week training for a half marathon. It's been a great outlet for me, to get up early, run with friends, talk, and get in shape. I'm the YW secretary in our newly organized ward, and Ryan is the 2nd counselor in the YM's program. We're taking an BofM institute class together, and are enjoying reading the scriptures together. We are having so much fun right now, keeping busy with work, school, church, friends, and family. Enjoy the pictures! I'll update more I promise :)
