And we’re back! (Jimmy Fallon anyone? ….Anyone?)
The last few weekends before school started were pretty fun! I feel like we took advantage of our time before O-Chem started consuming all of our his time.
First up- Marianne’s baby shower! Love these life-long friends of mine… Friends since elementary school!
Next up- Day trip to
Pickleville Playhouse in Bear Lake! So dang funny. Spence was deathly afraid he was going to be forced to eat pickles the whole time, but luckily for him he just got to laugh his head off instead. If you are in range of Bear Lake and can swing it- GO SEE THIS PLAY. It is absolutely hilarious. Juanito Bandito. This has become a Schaap Family tradition. It’s over this year, but they come to SLC at the beginning of the year. I promise you will not be disappointed!! Oh and if possible, go with my dad because his laugh is hilarious and contagious!
Bear Lake! It is about an hour north from Logan, and totally worth it.
You can't go to Bear Lake and NOT get a La Beau's raspberry shake. That is just un-American.
"Oh yeah, that just happened!"
Over Labor Day weekend was finally the Blackner wedding! Tim and Laina are great together and we’ve been looking forward to this for a while :) After a crazy weather day, they had a beautiful ceremony and reception. Again- life-long friends!
Sadly, it was POURING rain as we were waiting for them to come out. It cleared up a little later, but it was kind of a bummer.
“It’s like raaaaaa—iiiiannnnnnnn on your wedding day….”

All of us were huddled in the one corner trying to stay out of the rain!

It wasn’t long ago that this guy and I were being sealed in the temple… Best year ever.
Makes me happy to see my friends get married in the temple and get those blessings too.

Mr. & Mrs.

Oh and did I mention the Timp. Temple was under construction that day? Kind of another bummer, but it was a wonderful day nonetheless and hopefully their photographer can photoshop the non-orange version in…
Brad & Lindsay

The reception was at Sundance and it was BEA-U-TIFUL!

These pictures really don’t do it justice…

Why not?

After all the wedding bliss, the next day while I was on a bike ride I decided it was absolutely necessary for us to take a drive up Big Cottonwood Canyon. You’ll see why below. Sorry for the cheesiness, but welcome to Zion, people.
Normally, at this point I would feel compelled to jump into Photoshop and really make those colors pop out, but instead I’m posting (a lot of) unaltered photos.
I love these mountains. They are home!

Hello Autumn

This place is undeniable.


Side note- got 2 new huge monitors at work. It was like Christmas! Can I get an Amen?? Anybody?
Just leaving the Gym one morning... Good morning!
Blake and I were feeling a little wild at Fashion Night out!
And last but not least- I jammed. If this isn't enough freezer jam to get us through the winter, we have some serious jam issues!
That is all for now!
