8 months of SUMMER!

I am loving NC weather! Starting May one it has been Summer outside! The only place you can be is emerged inside a giant swimming pool! Summer makes me the happiest. I have always been a Fall kind of girl ,really just because my birthday is in Fall, but I cant get enough of being outside and in this weather! It makes me miss the Summers in school when you had 2 whole months with nothing to do but be with friends and be outside! I cant wait until Jed is all done with his Summer semester so we can go and play all day in the sun together! And the best part about it is that it stays warm until November! We just bought our tickets to fly home for a couple weeks in July( that was a pretty penny!) and I can not wait! There are a lot of little ones I haven't met yet and I'm going crazy looking at pictures and just wanted to squeeze them!

Not much new with us though other than trying to keep cool and being at the pool as much as possible! Girls Camp is just around the corner so I'm looking forward to that(except the bugs! there the size of small animals!) it will be a blast being with all the girls for a week. Jed is in the thick of his summer semester! Tests tests tests! So I've found things to occupy myself like making twenty tutus for camp! Luckily there is 3 of us leaders so its not that many but my hands where raw by the end of it!

Too many pictures? Probably...

So.. My challenge lasted long. I have good reason for not finishing it though. Are you ready? We have officially finished ONE WHOLE YEAR of dental school!! Wahoo!!!! Well technically Jed has just started his summer semester for first year but in 3 years from now we will be graduated so I like to think we've finished a whole year! WAHOO!!

So just a few things that we've been up to since then. My parents and sister sarah and her husband richard came to visit us! It was a blast! I have missed them all sooo much! They were officially our first visitors. We also went up to DC for a couple of days which was really neat. It was my first visit up there and it was really fun visiting all the museums.

Jed and I had our very first Easter all by ourselves. I think we did very well for ourselves!

Also it was mine and Jeds FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY!! Thank you thank you! We did it! One year down! Forever to go! We spent the first part of our anniversary camping at jordan lake which was perfect! And then we went to a movie and dinner the next night.

It has been a lot of fun! I love living in NC where its summer in April! We've been having a great summer so far!

Also! We found out that were going to Utah on July 22!! WAHOO!

 

DAY7 your most treasured item

I know im probably supposed to say my wedding ring, or my scriptures, or something actually worth something here,( and dont get me wrong those things mean the world to me!) But honestly, nothing can ruin or make my day more than this little fella... i can not live without my chapstick. and not just any chapstick, natural ice cherry flavor. its heaven in a little white tub. seriously. its always in my pocket not even the purse, it belongs right in my front pocket every day all day! like i said, it can flat out ruin my day if i dont have my natural ice period.

ok... im addicted.

DAY6 someone you would like to trade places with for a day...

this one was a piece of cake for me because this is not the first time i have thought about this question.

 meet pip. she is my most favorite animal on this planet. if you know me at all then you know how much i love animals! jed is always making fun of my love for them, especially the funny ones. oh man an animal can make me laugh harder than anything in this world! Pip thinks she is a human, no but really she does. she sleeps with her head on a pillow and a blanket covering her body. she almost never wants to eat out of her dog bowl because hello! thats what dogs do and clearly she is above that! she hides her bones everywhere and treats them like there gold! one time i found one under my pillow- yuck! and as soon as she heard me find it she was up the stairs grabbing it to hide it in the next place.
she is the most spoiled thing in the world, but not with sick dog clothes or bows those make her emarrassed im not kidding, shes human. so why not want to live in her world for a day? sleep for hours, play outside, get fed, scratched, and have someone bath me... im actually a little jealous.

DAY5 favorite memory

A picture of a favorite memory is a hard thing to come by. I think if you have a picture from your favorite memory your one lucky person! unfortunately im not that lucky...but one thing i do have is a pretty good memory of it, so whenever i want i can just think back to this day and remember exactly how i felt.

The first date with Jarbon. i know what your thinking GAG! but actually i wasnt his date the first time we went on a date together. I was with his friend and he was with a girl that he was dating at that time. We sat across from each other at dinner and we hadnt really talked a whole lot before. I was wearing a necklace with an M on it- the first thing out of his mouth- " what does the m stand for..?" I knew he knew what my name was! feeling very out of place on a group date with people i barely knew i didnt dare make the sly comeback i would have normally made, so instead i just laughed like a foolish little girl... ( it was one of those times where after you said what you did you think of 50 funny/clever things you should have said, shame on me, i know!)The rest of the date went as follows- I loathed the person sitting across from me. We ate we left to get our things to go sledding. needless to say i did not want to hang out with these people,mainly just one person, If you know Jed then you know he likes to talk, a lot. about anything, really. So as hard as i tried to ignore him the whole night and not look at him, i couldnt. there was something more than just different about him.  i realized, despite his teasing the new girl stunt, he was actually really pretty perfect. sure i didnt know his birthday or his favorite color, but i felt like i knew him on another level almost. now were getting creepy right? imagine if you were me how weird you would feel. there was just something off something strange about the whole thing..

It took two years,  many heart breaks and trials later to go on an actual first date together. we havent been apart since. I wonder everyday why it had to take so long for us to be together, so many heartbreaks could have been prevented so many trials untouched. but i guess thats just when we have to let our faith in a higher power take over our what ifs. 

Sorry, this is just a lot of rambling. this is a BIG month for me and i cant really think of much else- so this was sort of a way to put my scrambled thoughts somewhere else... thanks.

DAY3
