Summer - Part Dos

I have been told that it is time to update by blog...again. I'm just not good at this. It was recommended that I write about the rest of my summer.
I had a really good time in Phoenix before I went to Nauvoo with my mama. I went to the ASU vs Fresno State baseball game and hung out with my grandparents, some cousins, and John. (he wants me to mention him in this post.) I watched the Lakers/Celtics game with my grandparents then with the Cannons where I was promised a free snow cone. (Thank you for that by the way) I flew back to Vegas Wednesday and then packed my bags and left for Nauvoo early the next morning with my Mom.
Nauvoo was so much fun. I loved being alone with my mom and all the little inside jokes we came up with. It was so much fun to see her parents serving their mission in the temple out there and to actually SEE Nauvoo and Carthage and visualize where the early Saints were a little better. We went to the temple Fri and my grandparents officiated over that session...what an experience that was.
I got back from Nauvoo on Saturday and went to my friend Katie and Hank's reception then packed my stuff up the next day and drove to Utah with my mom. I moved back to go back to school and she could not say goodbye to me yet so she had to drive up with me...or you could say she wanted to see her grandson. (But I know the real reason.)
I'm going to be honest now. I love Utah b/c it is a great place and a pretty state. However, I miss Las Vegas. I miss being super busy all the time and having to try to squeeze things into my day. I went back to Las Vegas for the Tim McGraw concert with Courtney, Juelaine, and John. I LOVED that concert. Tim is a good man in so many ways. Court and I were trying to decide whether or not he was wearing a cup but John thought he was "just lucky." (this is going to really embarrass some people--haha! oh well) After the concert I came back to Utah for a bit then last week I went to my little Heaven on Earth. aka Lake Powell. I love that place. The weather felt great (to me) and the water was perfect. My Dad and Scott bought a ton of fireworks again and we put on our annual 4th of July fireworks show (and yes, there was a fire--again. This was the worst fire we've started. And no, John did not start it.) John wants me to mention his FLY body and how much I enjoyed starting at him...(consider it mentioned.)
I'm back in Utah until next Wed when I leave for the Oregon coast for a family reunion which I am VERY excited for. After that I'm back in Utah until I return to Phoenix for 1 more weekend for another free snow cone. I will discuss the rest of my summer and vacations as they happen b/c they will get their own post. Love to all.
