This summer Adam and I have spent about a total of three weeks climbing in Maple Canyon, UT. It's about 2 hrs south of Salt Lake City and in a really beautiful area. The above pics aren't taken in Maple Canyon, but in the valley below (horses) and across from the canyon on the Wasatch Plateau (where we went for a rest day from climbing).

Gotta love the view from my backyard

Gina Graduated from College!! She'll be heading to North Carolina in the fall for grad school.

It's been quite a while since i updated this thing, but for a while there i didn't really feel like I had anything to update! The last month however has been quite a whirlwind. Let's see... I turned 29, which is apparently about as bad as turning 30, because all the teasing about "almost being old" has caused me to actually accidentally tell two people that I was 30. Maybe I'm losing my mind already, well, probably not "maybe". Most significantly, to me anyway, I am now out of school for the summer!! It was actually a birthday present as my last day with students was June 2nd. What else... oh, my parents came out for a week long visit about two weeks ago. It was a super fun time. We did the strip thing but also went to Zion for two days. This was my mom's first National Park and I think only my dad's second. I think they had a great time despite the 100+ temps. And now I am in Ohio. I've been here since Thursday and today was the first day that it felt like i got to sit down for more than 5 minutes at a time. It's been great though - I've been able to see lots of family because of the church festival and a graduation party. I really do miss have so much family around. Well, that's all for now! Here are a few pictures from the past month.

Tulips

Look at my beautiful tulips! They are in my yard but no, i did not plant them. If I had, they probably wouldn't look so good! Thank you whoever lived here before me :)
