Summer has been filled with so much fun stuff and i know that everyone that follows this is just dying to know what i've been up to since april.. it is now almost august, what can i say?? i have filled my time with so much fun and so many adventures that i hope i don't leave any of them out.
the school year ended well, i got all of the grades i expected to get for the level of studying that i did which is always such a reminder to me that if i work hard, play a little less, my grades Can be good. there isn't really an excuse for bad grades after discovering such things as the chem lab, the math lab, or who would have thought-- the Library! i Love the library and spent hours in there each day filling my brain with all the chem and bio lingo my body could handle. i am looking forward to my busy Busy schedule next semester and hope to keep my focus and not get too burnt out. it is going to be a great year though, i can already feel it!
So... back to summer vaca.
i have had some lovely times back in idaho, just being with the family and spending so much time with them and my wonderful friends in boise. i can't even put into words the joy that i feel when i am surrounded by people i love, who love me just the same and who always accept me for the person i am. i feel like any time i have two days off of work, i am there. home truly is where the heart is and mine has never left boise.
as everyone knows, i'm sure, my sisters, mother, and myself took a trip to a little place called new york city. we spent five days loving city life, surrounded by millions(literally) of people, the sights and sounds and smells of the city. it was an amazing experience standing with three of my favorite people on the "top of the rock" or getting all fancied up and riding around on one of those bike carts, only to find out we couldn't actually afford to be riding on them, going to Wicked and having Amazing seats that were So close, going to new jersey and getting some delicious treats from carlos' bakery, meeting the people in the show cake boss, riding a ferry and seeing the statue of liberty, walking down fifth ave, walking around ground zero, waking up to the sight of the chrysler building across the street from our hotel, walking around central park and going to church in the temple in the middle of nyc. we did a little bit of shopping and eating. NOT. that's what our days were filled with mostly, but i'm not complaining.
and since i mostly can't remember everything i've done this summer i will leave you with a few pictures from a few of the fun days and nights!
