pineview reservoir

Pineview reservoir is so beautiful. 

I can't tell you how many times I am dumbfounded

at all the beautiful places so incredibly close to us.

I love Utah.

rollin', rollin' down the river

On Thursday we returned from our annual river trip. 

Although it was a little different this year. 

It was sad not to have my family there, 

but so awesome to have David and his family there. 

The trip was a total success, thanks to my amazing brother in law Brad. (first picture).

He makes it possible for us to have the most amazing trips.

Way better than the guided river trips and at a fraction of the cost. 

I wish we could have spent another 5 days out there. 

I absolutely love being out in nature and on the river.

I don't worry or think about anything else. 

All those worldly worries leave you and you are over come by the beauty of nature.

the joys of a long weekend

We took advantage of the long weekend and went rock climbing. 

It was a perfect evening to go climbing. 

Even Lucy was exhausted by the end!

p.s. Eva Jorgensen over at Sycamore Street Press said some nice things about me.

we tandem

Since it warmed up, we have been going for a tandem bike ride every night. Lucy of course runs along next to us. It is the perfect way to get an energetic boxer completely exhausted.
