Bear Lake

FAMILY TRIP TO BEAR LAKE

We took a trip to Bear Lake with my side of the family. Brock and I were really excited to go because neither of us had ever been to Bear Lake. We had a great time camping, swimming, golfing, boating, surfing, wakeboarding and wheeling. I think my favorite part was spending time with our family and having fun together!

 

AROUND CAMP

We had fun exploring the heels with wheelers and the Rhino.

My dad cracks me up...I love his shirt.

 FUN ON THE LAKE

 AHHHH......I LOVE SUMMER!

Opening Day

We finally got our boat out on the lake for the fist time this summer! We've had the boat since April but had to get some repairs done, get it licensed and it needed to be registered. After many months and a lot of "dough"...we finally got it all done and out on the lake!


We spent Saturday afternoon at a nearby lake and just cruised the lake and did some needed cleaning. We took the dogs with us which was fun for us but I don't think that they liked it. Who knows? I keep waiting for the day that they will start speaking English.

That's All...

Living in the NOW

Let me invite you into my thoughts for today....

While I was at work today I had a really great conversation with my friend. In talking to her I realized that I focus so much of my energy and thoughts on what's next. Everything from homes, cars and jobs to money, hairstyles and dress sizes. Although I think it's important to have goals and dreams, I think I spend more time wishing away what I have already been blessed with today while pushing towards tomorrow.  I have been completely selfish and ungrateful in this kind of thinking and want to do better.

At this point in my life I often think about different times in my life and think "hmmmm...that was a fun time in my life, I wish I would have enjoyed it more and recognized what I had". So in order to discontinue this repeating cycle, I'm going to try to really hard to  recognize the blessings of "today". I know that the Lord blesses us daily and we will recognize his love and blessings if we take time and look around.

Okay, so when I left work I was trying to think of ways to be grateful for today and my life as it is now. As I was doing this, I saw my beat up little Honda. So my first item on my list of why my life is great today is my car.

Let me share with you a short history about my Honda.

It was purchased while Brock and I were going to SUU and we thought it was the nicest car ever! We were so excited to have a new (to us) car. We bought it as some random ghetto dealership in SLC and we were crossing our fingers that we didn't get a lemon.

It's really my FIRST car. (since I drove my Dad's car through High School and College up to this point).

In result to purchasing this car I had to learn how to drive a clutch, which I love, love, love.

It's helped us move all over the map and has taken us on many trips. It still runs like a champ.

It's been a little beaten up due to aging, wear& tear and Montana hail storms. (and smells like a crusty cigarette after a rainstorm).

Brock's been pulled over many times in it for various reasons (mainly speeding) and I have never been pulled over in it. LOL.

Up until today I have been in the back of my mind counting down the days until I get a new car...a flashy one. But for now, I think I will enjoy my current transportation.

I'm grateful for my little car, I'm glad it gets me from point A to point B in a flash!  (watch, now I'll will jinx us....I hope not).
