Roll out those summer nights

We have officially made a goal to spend more time enjoying ourselves this summer. Its pretty tough during the week but weekend nights are definitely devoted to fun activities. Last weekend was a perfect example.Friday: After we got done with "work" we had a late night bbq at Nance's. She made the most delish meal ever. Her new friend Sam the cooking guy has enticed her to whip up some really amazing dishes lately. Who would have thought we would...

Breathe.

I'll be honest I basically had a meltdown yesterday after a meeting I had with one of my teams at work. I knew that June was going to be a pretty busy freaking month, which felt awful yet achievable in my own little mind.

A Regular Day

I had a serious craving for Sinny Bears today. I have been missing many things from Utah: locally owned restaurants, natural ice chapstick, chocolate covered cinnamon bears, courte, mom, dad, backyards, and mountains.

I didn't expect them to be very good but I was wrong, they may be better...
