Well hello my friends! 

It's a happy Monday night, mostly because my best friend is back home after being gone for 33 days. I cannot even begin to describe to you all how much I missed that girl.

Two Saturdays ago my good friend, Kelby, opened his mission call and I am so excited for his call to Russia. He is going to be such an amazing missionary because he already is so good about sharing the gospel with others. That same night we went to see "The Amazing Spiderman" and holy cow was it amazing. I loved the actors and Andrew Garfield made the perfect spiderman. The only thing that was disappointing was that they left out the classic spiderman kiss:[

Last week consisted of a lot of working but on friday Kelby, Matt, Amanda, Greta, and I all went to the pool and roasted marshmallows. I quite enjoyed hanging out with people again since my social life has been lacking as of late.

On Thursday, I nannied for the neighbors and then Amanda and I drove up to our family reunion in Winter Park. It was so fun to see my uncles from Arizona and Boston again and I enjoyed talking and bonding with all of my family members. Friday was fun because we spent the day in Winter Park riding the Alpine Slide and what not. My poor uncle, Steve, fell off and got a ton of bad burns. We also played "Minute to Win It", which was entertaining as always; had a baby shower for my aunt Maryn; had a family Olympics; and played some games with my uncle, Nate. I am so thankful to have such a large family and to have been able to spend time with all of them under one roof.

This week it is back to work, which is good because I need the money. But I am sure this week will be fantastic because I get to see Emily again and I am pretty sure that will make the rest of my summer. 

Just a thought: I am so thankful for my Heavenly Father and the ability He has to take the mistakes I make and turn them into learning experiences. 

I hope you are all having a nice summer and enjoying these days of warm weather and rain!
