camping, 4th of July, fireworks, family and love

Ok so here is a picture recap on the past couple weeks! We went camping with the Hibbards, Hulls, and Bairs, it was soo much fun! Then we went down to Utah for the Stadium of Fire where David Archuleta and Brad Paisley performed, it was amazing, me and Mark sang the whole time :) Then we came back up to Idaho for the Rexburg parade and the firework show in Idaho Falls. The past couple of weeks have been so busy but so much fun.

I can't believe how fast this semester has gone, I've been a college graduate for a whole semester now...weird.

Camping at Teton Canyon

The Stadium of Fire

We went with Dave, Lauren, Belle, Brad and LuAnn

Jimmer was on the big screen...Mark was ironically wearing his Jimmer shirt haha

Brad Paisley was so great!

The Rexburg Parade (yes, Rachel stood in the street with all the kids to catch candy, and a piece of candy landed right in Mark's elbow!)

At the Melaleuca firework show (this was the 3rd year Mark and I have been at the firework show together)

I got a longboard so we went on a longboarding date :)

I love summer! I wish the weather would stay like this year round, then Rexburg wouldn't be so bad.

S'more friends

This weekend we went camping with some of our new couple friends, the Hibbards, Hulls, and Bairs. It was so much fun. We got a site in Teton canyon, literally right under the Tetons, it was beautiful. The river ran through the camp grounds.We spent lots of time talking around the campfire, hiking, having contests to see who could stand in the ice cold river longer and getting sun burnt (after layers upon layers of aloe, my near 3rd degree burns have turned into a nice tan :), oh, and we saw a Moose! Tara and I chased it! Mark and I had a great time and are so grateful for awesome friends.
When we got home yesterday we were completely whipped out! After doing laundry and showering we laid on the couch and couldn't move. I felt so horrible. I honestly think I may have gotten a little case of heat stroke. I went to bed early. This morning we both woke up feeling just as exhausted. And to make things worse, its back to real life. I had to go back to work and Mark had to go back to school. Not that my job sucks or anything, don't get me wrong, it's a great job and my boss is wonderful but I would much rather take a lazy, mental health day. But I can't...so I guess I'll just be in this weird mood all day.

hey Chris, it's your birthday!

Yesterday was our best friend Chris Murray's birthday! He and Mark have been best friends practically since the day they were born. Chris use to call Mark "Marky Lauren" and Mark called Chris "Chriffafer." They both have come a long way since then!

I was privileged to meet Chris pretty much the day I got to Rexburg in the fall of 2007. Mark and Chris were roommates and we became fast friends. Chris has always reminded me of the big brother I never had. He is hands down the most thoughtful and considerate person I have ever met. I remember our first Thanksgiving break I was going down to Utah. I think Mark had already left to go home to Utah and Chris called me just as I was about to get in the car and leave. He showed up in my parking lot with a bag of treats for the drive! Seriously, how thoughtful!

I just can't say enough good things about this guy.

Last night we threw Chris a surprise birthday party at Craigos! We told him that we were going to take him and Rachel on a double date with us. While we picked up Rachel everyone met at Craigos, thanks to Kyle for rounding up the troops! It was a great surprise.

After dinner Mark and Chris had a flag football game so a bunch of us girls went to support Gandolfs' army (that's their team name...aka crogermad, that's all their names put together, chris, logan, eric, mark, chad)

Every time they would score a touchdown or do something cool we would all scream "happy birthday Chris," I think they were really embarrassed, but it was fun.

Anyways, thanks to all who came for Chris's birthday.

Love you Chriffafer!

P.S. I know it looks like there were only 5 of us there but I didn't even think about pulling out my camera until after everyone had already left :( There were probably about 20 ppl there!
