Justin and i have had a pretty great summer considering how busy it has been. i always get excited for summer break and have a huge list in my head of all the awesome things i want to do. normally life just gets too busy for all those things to happen and this summer followed through in being super busy as well.

the entire summer i had been looking forward to one week... lake powell. this little peice of heaven is one of my favorites on earth. there's something amazing about not knowing what time it is or what day it is. just doing what you want whenever you want. eating when you are hungry, waking up and going to sleep whenever you feel like it. it felt good to not have cell phone reception or internet. i honestly just felt so content. it could have been just because i was in one of the most beautiful places on earth, but i think it was because the focus was on the moment we were all having and enjoying the people there. my in-laws and a couple other families rented a houseboat and they all had 4 wakeboarding boats and some jet skis. so as you can guess, it was a blast. vacations are seriously what i look forward to most in life. i am writting this from my desk at work. it kills me a little everyday to be couped up inside at a desk, but funtimes with people i love make it totally worth it.
