It's A Jeep Thing

I have really missed driving a Jeep.

Don't get me wrong, I love my little Beetle, but there is just something so fun and cool about a Wrangler. It's so much easier to find adventure behind the wheel of a Jeep.

I went on the most beautiful Sunday drive today. I live super close to Spanish Fork canyon and I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've gone up there in the 3.5 years I've lived here.

It's a shame.

One of my goals this year is to get out and see more of this beautiful state. I have totally been missing out!

I don't look for anything super crazy or dangerous, but I do love trails and I found a couple of pretty tame ones not too far up the canyon.

I had a lot of fun.

So much in fact that when my friend Deni texted me to tell me she was coming over for a visit, I told her to stay put, that I was coming to pick her up. I dragged her out the canyon and made her enjoy the beauty and adventure with me.

We had such a great time.

Sorry for the iPhone pix. I didn't take my big camera.

Payson Temple

The LDS church has built a new temple close to my house.

It is so, so beautiful.

Go here for more information.

My current church calling is to serve with the Young Women as a laurel advisor.

It is exactly up my alley.

Seriously.

This morning, we had the awesome opportunity to tour the Payson temple and to specifically see the bride's room.

The temple is absolutely incredible!

I took my camera (shocker, I know) to get pics of the outside. I wanted so badly to take pictures of all of the beautiful details on the inside but photography is not allowed. From the wood finish work to the marble staircases, the chandeliers to the incredible (I am running out of adjectives!) stained glass windows, it is the stuff dreams are made of. I seriously felt like a princess in my very own castle.

But, more than the physical beauty of this amazing building, the most incredible part was that I felt the love of God every single second of the tour. It was so awesome.

I ran into Nikki and Ashley. It was fun to see them.

And, of course, I couldn't resist the amazing tulips!

I have to savor what little time I have left with these beauties!

It was such a great opportunity to tour the temple this morning. I will go back in the next week or so to take the open house tour, then I can't wait to go once it's dedicated.

Insta Laugh

This is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. I still snort laugh when I look at it.

I think we've all been there.

Right?!

Guess What Day It Is?!

IT'S JEEP DAY!!!

My best little brother and his cute family are moving to AZ. 

< < I am super sad > >

In just a few months, I will be the only one in my immediate family in Utah.

It actually makes me really depressed. I may need to look at re-locating.

However, there is one positive thing! Cade doesn't have a way to get his Jeep to Arizona right away, so he asked if he could keep it at my house.

Um...sure?!

I mean, I guess. If you have to.

So, Gina and I will be hanging out for a few weeks...possibly longer.

I'm actually hoping he will forget about her and she will be mine forever. I drove a green Wrangler in college and it was so much fun. Jeep Wranglers aren't super practical vehicles, but they are so awesome. If I could afford to, I would always own one.

Driving topless is the only way to drive ;)

Hooray for a summer of Jeeping!!
