the wind caves!!!

weve been wanting to go on a hike for a while and today we finally made it happen. nate was nice enough and came up from ogden.

the wind caves are up logan canyon. the last time i hiked up there was right before my freshmen year of college. it was super hot that day and the trail can be steep. so i was a little iffy because i just remember it being an awful way up. it wouldnt be so bad if only i was in shape.
yea- i finally made it. it wasnt as bad as i remember but still hard for me and it helped that we hiked up in the evening.
i felt bad for nate. he had to deal with my slow pace. he could have ran up it without breaking a sweat.

Coonie

my good friend Coon got home from his mission from Ecuador and i wasnt going to miss his homecoming for anything. he was pretty much our 7th roommate my freshmen year of college.

leoh (came all the way down from idaho falls with her husband conrad), coon, me, shaun (got home from his brazil mission in feb and lived in our building 1st semester freshmen year), and jami... and in the back shaun and coons silly friend tyler.
jami and i met up a couple hours before hand to spend sometime together; we never get to see one another. we had fun at a park talking and taking lots of pictures.

good times
we took a lot of scary pictures but this is the closet you get to see any of them

weed and feed

for the last couple of summers our ward and 3 others go to this mans ranch for FHE and pull dyers woe- its called the weed and feed because we weed and then we get fed. nice deal.

emily and i take our turn- we didnt pull many bc we didnt have a shovel. they are really tough weeds and if ya dont get the root theres no point.
you have to be really tough

Indian Food

i went over to my friends alicias house and these boys from india were there. they brought out food they made from their country and made us eat it. i didnt even know the boys and had just been to a BBQ. however, i tired it. i know surprising

me and alicia with our yummy looking food.

me about to take a bite of a raw onion with spices they put on it. for those of you who know- i hate onions- so this was huge. it took me a few minutes to finally get myself to take a bite. all the food was really spicy and im not big on spicy. but im glad i tired it.

BBQ!!!

brookes birthday isn't officailly tell the 24th but she'll be out of town. she invited everyone over to her apartment for a BBQ in logan. everyone had moved away for the summer and they were able to come up even though it had only been a week since they all left. we had lots of fun.
