The Beehive State

So, I said in a previous post that ever since Jake got done with school we have felt like we are on vacation...it's also been a reality check though. What do normal people do with all their time? When he was gone at school, I played with the girls alot and with girlfriends, there are plenty of options! We were perfectly content to talk, eat icecream, go shopping, talk, watch chick flicks, go on walks, talk, sit by the pool, do nothing at all, and talk some more.

Well, male company is a little different. (Sidenote: I have a magnet on my fridge that says, "The truth is, I would rather do nothing with you than something with anybody else." Referring to Jake ofcourse and I really mean it. I love him alot and I love that we don't always have to entertain ourselves.) Moving on, there are certainly a few things that you can do with boys that you can't do with your girlfriends, :) but there were a few nights when we put Cash to bed and watched TV for 3 hours straight, so since then, we have been on a mission to find fun things to do that were close by and that we would both enjoy. Come to find out (and to be honest it's something I've known all along) there's lots of stuff to do right here in our valley.

Our adventures last week included looking at all the beautiful flowers on temple square, hiking, going to the church history museum, and we went to Antelope Island. I've never been before and it's a pretty cool place. We saw antelope and bison. Very stinky though and there were biting gnats...YUCK! While we were at the visitor center though, I picked up a myriad of pamphlets with TONS of ideas. There's so much cool stuff to see right here. Needless to say, it made me very excited for this summer. Utah is an amazing place! We're headed to the Pioneer Museum and the Vietnam Memorial next to Capitol Hill tonight...oh and Costco. :)
