Things I want to do this Summer

Just a few days ago UT finally decided it’s time for Spring. My kids and I were enjoying the weather and being outside most of the days but then what happens today? It was cold, windy, raining and even hailing at one point. That’s exactly UT weather for ya. Spring is my favorite season and it’s too bad that here it lasts for about 2 weeks and it goes straight to Summer. But hey it’s better than snow and I’m not complaining.

These are the things I want to do this Summer:

-CAMPING! I can’t remember the last time I went (7 yrs. ago?) and I miss it. My family loves camping so growing up we visited many great national parks such as: Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Arches, Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore, one in Canada which was beautiful but can’t remember the name, and many of them were while camping. We probably went many times mostly because my dad is one of the most frugal person you will ever meet(I’m sure my dad can beat your dad in this one, bring it 😉 and camping is the cheapest way to spend a family vacation. Yep, I’m positive that’s why we went so much haha. But I sure do have many good memories and what is there not to love about camping? You feel closer to nature and it’s so down to earth and it helps you to forget about the materialistic things and focus on the most important things in life such as family and the beauty of nature.

-Baltimore. I was planning on going in May but there were some changes made so I might go in the Fall to visit two of my favorite people.

-Korea! I desperately want to take wedding photos there (it’s a whole day process where you go to a studio and pick out several wedding dresses you want to wear, they do your hair and make up, and take beautiful pictures all in one place!) Genius right? But then again maybe we should go next year since I don’t want to take it when I have my braces on. 🙁 ugh, I don’t care if I’m 40 when I take it, we’re getting our wedding pictures done there!

-DISNEYLAND!!! Nothing will get me more excited than to see Adalie light up as she goes to “Mickey’s house” as she calls it and meet all the princesses and more. It makes me smile just trying to imagine her cute face.

-Going on a trip with just me and Jay. I don’t care where, I don’t care if it’s the next city over, I just want all the attention from Jay for one day. Is it too much to ask?

Now how are we going to do all this with a two yr. old and a one yr. old? Sadly, I don’t have a clue. Nonetheless I can’t wait for summer for all the sun, swimming, slippers, popsicles, and cool summer nights.

And Jay and I watched Dear John the other day and I fell in L.O.V.E with…….no, not Channing Tatum but the main girl’s HAIR. I’m smitten.
