Sun Valley

Over the 4th of July my family went to Sun Valley to bike, eat, shop, and enjoy life. I love Sun Valley... Its just a fun little town with so much to do. It was so nice to get out of town and enjoy a quick weekend in beautiful Sun Valley with the fresh air and mountains!!! Im so grateful to have places this close to home to visit!!

Waiting to get picked up. Brinsley got so excited when she saw grandpas truck so started waving like crazy! It was so cute!

Stopping for lunch in a really small town. This was the only food joint around. But it was yummy!!

Entertaining Brinsley in the car ride with my iPad. She loved watching short movies on it.

Bike ride down the mountain... talk about and adrenaline rush!

Some parts were really intense!!

Me and Amy and the beautiful view!

Family bike ride to Hayley to eat lunch at Shortys.

The crew... Greg was tough and dragged Brinsley along

Ice Skating!!! This was my most favorite thing to do in Sun Valley when I was little so it was fun to do it again!

We ran into Hoda from The Today Show-Kathy Lee and Hoda. She was super nice and talked to us for a bit.

Playing at the park.

Testing out the fake Gondola

Brinsley driving the train (or she thought)

We got pints of Ben and Jerrys ice cream and then sat on the grass waiting for fireworks!! This was a highlight of the trip for me. I loved it!!!

Picnic lunch on the drive home... After visiting the ice caves (which I dont have pictures of)

Such a fun trip!!! I love Sun Valley so much!!!

So Far Behind...

Im so far behind its ridiculous. So I am updating my blog for the soul purpose of making a blog book when the year ends. So this is some summer catch up and hopefully I will finally get totally caught up.

The BIG 27!!!

Yes... its true... I turned 27 on May 19th... ahhhhh!!! Even though I get major anxiety the night before my birthday I have finally come to terms with the fact that indeed I am a year older, and I'm ok with that, for now :)

For my Birthday I got a day with my niece :) (and others)
My dad got me this balloon that he put at my desk at work so that everyone would know it was my "special" day.

For lunch Amy and my mom and Brinsley took me out to lunch at Great Harvest...YUMMM!!! We had yummy sandwich's and chips and Key Lime soda and Cookies and a cupcake!!! Lets just say it was great!! My mom gave me the best gift!!! She found red with white polka dot fabric and she is making me a Minnie Mouse skirt for my upcoming trip to Disney World!!! Im super stoked about it :)

For Dinner Me, my Parents and Brinsley went to India Fusion (which is the best Indian food)

MMMM!!! Brinsley kept dipping her naan in the sauce even though it was way too hot for her and she made a face and spit it out everytime... ha ha!! But it was not too hot for me!!! I loved it!!!

Then after we went to Leatherbys and got a sundae. Brinsley does not like Ice Cream... but she likes playing with it.

and she thought I needed help eating it too.... Ha ha!!! Love that girl:)

Overall my Birthday was great and memorable... Im glad for a great family who made sure to make it special. Especially to my sister for letting me get time with Brinsley basically all day. I even got to cuddle with her and put her to bed when it was all over :)

George Strait Concert!!!

If you know me, you would know that George Strait is my most favorite artist of all time. I love him, I love all of his songs, I love Pure Country and I just love the person he is. I have been to Vegas to see him, Cheyenne,WY and now finally in SLC!!! I was super pumped to hear he was coming in concert especially since he was joined by REBA!!! The day tickets went on sale I held my breath hoping for something great and I got 12th row on the floor!!! Seriously??? How lucky for me :) but it wasn't until the night of the concert that I realized how great my seats were. not only were we on an isle but we were right on one of the corners where he performed... so what does that mean?? I made a beeline for the stage every time he came around... so front row!!! George was only five feet away and I was beyond filled with excitement!!! I got to watch him sing my favorite song "run" and I was singing right along... He even looked at me and sang parts of the song to me (this is the honest truth) and at the end of the song he gave me a smile!! I was freaking out and so was my cousin cause she watched it happen!!! Then when George sang "How Bout Them Cowgirls" I was totally singing and dancing away and when he sang the line how bout them cowgirls he pointed right at me... So lets just say that George Strait knows that I exist... ha ha!!! Anyway... after a night of amazing wonderful songs sung by opening act LeAnn Womack and of course the amazing Reba and the BEST GEORGE STRAIT!!! the night ended on the highest note possible; As he was making his rounds before he left he grabbed my hand!!! I couldn't have had a better concert or a better night in my whole entire life!!! GEORGE STRAIT YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!
