This is when you gotta love that Utah is just a little bit different

Pioneer Day. A day when the state of Utah decides to celebrate the Pioneers (which we are very grateful for) and take the day off of work and school. Believe me, I wish we celebrated our heritage more often with perks like that. Needless to say, this week rocked because no class, no work Friday. Though it was spent cleaning my apartment and doing homework, at least it meant I had a real Saturday. Right on.

We got up and spent an awesome day on the lake and getting some sun. We saw a motto on the back of a boat that said: Wake and Bake. I think that sums up perfection pretty well.
After that, we gorged ourselves at Tucanos. Man, that place never disappoints. The only problem is that no matter how bad you don't wanna, you just gotta. It's not because you're hungry, just because it's so stinkin' good and you know it'll be a few months before you can have it again. I decided Tucanos should have the slogan "Seize the Day!" Maybe Christian Bale will even come and be the spokesman. I wouldn't mind that :) Seriously though, that place you just gotta put down...and put down good.

I was going to be so good.

Yep, blogging was going to be my Sunday morning activity and I was going to be so good at doing it! Ha. We all know how that lasts. We all know about those Young Woman lessons that give us that new determination to write in our journals every week. And we do so good! But, that only lasts for a while. And this is a vicious cycle. One where only a few survive and break the chain. No wonder we had to have so many lessons to remind us to do it.It's just like dieting and getting healthy. It's just like those first few weeks of school where we actually try to read the textbook before class.


Summer semester is almost half over now. It's awesome how fast it's going! I do a lot of homework, but if I pass all the classes, I'll only have six credits in the Fall which just sounds way to good to be true!

Yesterday, we had an awesome day with the Jenkins on the lake. It was awesome. Pretty much perfect. It was sunny, the water warm, the activities a blast: a much needed break from a week of you-no-what at school.

Jeff started driver's ed in Idaho and drove for his first time. Scary. Stay off the roads. J.K. I'm sure he'll be an awesome little driver...but thank goodness for insurance... just in case :)

Andrew is free!!!! (Well at least from schoolbooks for a while). Now at least he has time to put a little TLC into his basketball. He needs the break before another hard semester this fall. But after fall semester, he is done!
(Well at least till graduate school):)
