Independence Day Weekend

I had a fabulous 4th of July weekend! It was seriously perfect. We spent Saturday afternoon at the pool with Gabe, Madison, and David. Gabby and I are getting LOTS of pool time. We go most evenings after work and every Saturday. Utah summers are far too short so you gotta make the most of them! We went to West Jordan and had some all-you-can-eat sushi sans kids. I am not seeing my family as much since the move, so it was good to get lots of time in together.

Gabby is my little fish and getting more fearless in the water.

On Sunday, we had a barbecue at the Torgersons with lots of Arkansas friends. There was tons of food and even more laughter. I have the best family and friends! Pam and I discovered we both loose our ability to grasp things with our hands if we laugh too much. It was wonderful having so many Arkansans under one roof.

4 of 6 siblings together. It's not looking good to having 6 of 6 any time soon.



I had Monday off and Gabby was with her dad. I hiked Stewart Falls with my friend Jessica. We were roommies our freshman year at BYU and have fortunately remained close ever since. Jessica recently moved here and started a new job with me. It's terrific having her here and working with her. The Falls were beautiful and it felt great being out in nature. We spent our afternoon lounging at the pool and reading. As I said, the weekend was perfect!
