Um... where did summer go?
I haven't written since April, and I keep putting this post off, thinking that I'll do a nice and long catch-up post, talking about all that's happened in the last 5 months. And I kept telling myself I couldn't write a post without pictures, but if I have to do that, then this really will never get posted. So I think I'll do more of a bullet-point update and if you want pictures, you can see my Facebook pictures. And if you want more details, you can always ask me in person. (Novel concept, I know.) So, without any further ado:
Things that I was able to cross off my 101 list this summer:

So, without any further ado:
Things that I was able to cross off my 101 list this summer:
- Participate in St. Luke’s weight loss challenge (January-May 2015)
- Go to a temple open house (May 23, Payson temple)
- Read scriptures for at least 30 minutes for a month (June 2015)
- Visit the Boise Art Museum (June 4, during first Thursday)
- Order delivery (Papa John's, June 27)
- See 5 new plays/musicals I haven’t seen yet (Count of Monte Cristo, Pippin, Gypsy, Over the River and Through the Woods, Dial M for Murder)
- Watch entire Dressing YT course (I should probably write another post about DYT...I love it!)
- Hike Table Rock (July 24)
- Get food from food truck (Pizza from Provo Farmer's Market, August 8)
- Go to concert (Kelly Clarkson/PTX, on August 8)
- Go to the Boise Train Depot (August 12)
- Go to Yellowstone (September 10-13)...also went to Grand Teton, and technically got 5 more stamps in my National Park Passport between the 2 places, but I'm not sure if I should count that
Other non-101 list updates:
- Floated the river a couple of times.
- Went to Utah a few times.
- Visited the Family History Discover Center in Salt Lake--it was way cool. I highly recommend it. (May 22)
- Read quite a bit. And did quite a bit of hanging out with friends.
- Went to the Boise Farmer's Market
- Got a makeover at the DYT salon. So fun!
- Went to an overnight bachelorette party at a cabin in Cascade.
- Meagan (the roommate mentioned in my last post) moved out. It was super last minute. She just felt like that's what she had to do and move to Utah to pursue school. I miss her. She was a great roommate
- Started working full-time in one store, so I don't have to keep being a "split personality" working in two different stores, as my boss calls it.
- Went to the Western Idaho Fair (August 27)
- Got another year older. Weird.
- Did some enameling during a first Thursday. Neat experience.
- I'm going to be getting another roommate at the beginning of next month. It's been kind of nice living by myself for a bit, but it'll be good to have someone else around.
Uh... I guess that's it for now. Maybe, if you're lucky, you'll get another post sooner than 5 months from now. :-)
Well you certainly have been a busy bee!
ReplyDeleteI have hiked near Table Rock, been to Yellowstone and Grand Teton, but its been years so I am jealous of your exploring in beautiful nature! What did you think of Count of Monte Cristo play? The book is in my top 5 favorites, but I hated the movie.
You really should move up here. Nature is beautiful in Idaho. :-)
DeleteThe Count of Monte Cristo musical was great. BYU did the English-language world premiere of it. The acting was great, and the staging, costumes, and songs were amazing. It was a bit weird seeing a musical that I wasn't already familiar with any of the songs, though.
