#ilovesummer

The past few months have been jam-packed full of fun things. After spending a few wonderful days in Cincy, I spent the next week chillin with the fam in NC and then a week at Ocean Isle Beach with ALL of my family members - all of my siblings, and all of their kids! This hasn't happened in many, many years. It was SO much fun to be all together! And even though having 16 kids in one house and waking up to all 16 of them at like 7 am every day is not exactly what I would consider a "vacation" persay, it was still SO much fun. I loved it. I miss my siblings already and my nieces & nephews, those balls of energy, soo sooo soooo much already! Unforunately, I don't have any of the awesome pictures we took on said vaca because my sister ANGELA has them all (coughcough)...

J came to visit ME in NC after the beach. It was SO fun to show him the place where I grew up.

Duke Chapel. We may or may not have left Catholic mass and walked straight through the crowd of nuns/choirmembers (never can tell)

Fishing with the nieces & nephews (Liesel is adorbs no!?) I didn't get a pic of all of my cute nephews because they were too engrossed in catching the huge snapping turtle

I didn't catch anything :( but at least I looked hott! ...oh wait

Then we went & ate delicious TORTAS in a ghetto gas station in Durham! Yeeee-uh!

And kayaked on the Grand Jordan LAKE!

 J & I flew out of NC a few days after he got there and since then we've been able to spend a lot of time together. I've loved it.
Butlerville days, a celebration for Pioneer day with fireworks and fun (and we brought Chipotle)

Last Sat we hiked up to Lake Blanche & it was BEAUTIFUL!



Jacob is probably the only person who will indulge me in taking ridiculous pictures of me posing around Aspens...blesshisheart

Lake blanche!

We decided to mix up the poses a bit...awkward much? I kinda like it

We also went to MUSIC MAN, the musical put on by Cottonwood Heights community arts council. So. Fun. !!!

Clarification for my more "mature" readers

It has been brought to my attention that there has been some confusion about some of the terminology I have been using in my recent posts. If you are feeling such confusion, please follow the link below for clarification:

*Side note: I'm not normally a fan of urban dictionary, but it has it's place at times. Like these.


Thank you!

10 Lessons Learned in Cincy.

1. Rental car stores in downtown Durham are a no-go. Unless you want to pay $200 extra, bless their HIDES

2. It's worth it to drive 8 hrs to see this stud.
 

3. Sometimes the 5k you haven't been training for, and you almost miss because you purposely wake up too late for, and the one you have to run in the rain for, is the best one.


4. Free t shirts are even better when they're matching free t-shirts. And sometimes feeling like a dork in public wearing matching shirts doesn't make you feel like a dork at all, but increases your cool factor by 55% when it's with your boyfriend who's awesome.


5. Sometimes it rains for 3 days straight and your plans get ruined, but not really because it's still just as fun to just be with your boo.


   

6. Sometimes driving 2 hours to the temple is worth it.


 
7. Sometimes you just have to give in to the urge to take a picture with a bearcat when you see one.


8. Sometimes it's better to combine two words if the combined word is cooler than the sum of it's parts. ie) basket + cart = bascart. Check.


9. Sunsets after 3 days of rain are stunning. Ab-so-lutely stunning.


10. Cincinnati has the coolest bridges. And the cutest man.
 



11. Sometimes you have to cut your hair over a toilet. Sometimes you have a mullet in the process. Or a backwards mullet?


 12. Sometimes fortune cookie fortunes are true.


13. And sometimes they're just awkward.


14. Sometimes Chinese food isn't that good and sometimes you get nervous when you try to speak Chinese to your waitress. 


15. Sometimes your boyfriend can do a grandpa smile better than you can, even though you taught it to him.
