I can't believe it's already been over a month since I lasted posted. This month has truly been busy. I now have two jobs. I work in the Chinese Language Flagship Program at BYU AND in a crazy turn of events, I got my old job back as the Administrative Assistant in the Student Athlete Academic Center in BYU Athletics. In addition to working two jobs, I am also going to school full-time. So it has been an insane, yet awesome summer. The following is one of the many highlights of July.
Dennis' roommate Andy invited us to stay at his friends cabin up in Bear Lake, so Dennis' roommates and my roommate Mikell and I all piled into the Trailblazer and headed to Idaho. The cabin was beautiful, the weather was perfect and the company was unbeatable. We had a freaking blast. But we didn't just go to Bear Lake, no that would no suffice, we also went to Bloomington Lake which took an hour or so of us driving on an extremly rocky dirt path, then a 10 minute hike to get there. But as you can see from the pictures, our drive to the glacial lake was well worth it.

This was not meant to look this awkward... but because it did, I feel bound by my honor code of hilarium to post it.
The whole crew. At this very moment all of our skin was being crispified like Kentucky Fried Chicken. Aloe vera here we come.

The cliff from which we jumped. The water looks kind of green in these pics, but really it was a turqouise color. gArgeous.
Yes, that is snow, and yes we swam in it, and yes, it took about 20 minutes to get used to swimming in it without feeling like you were going to hyperventilate and drown.
This is what surrounded the Lake to the east, yellow and blue wildflowers. Unreal.
We were sooooooooooo beat after a weekend in the sun, but it was well worth it.
And these are the wonderful people I got to spend the 4th with. Dennis' sister in law's family. They rock the house. It really was so much fun watching all the little kids get closer and closer as all the dads showed off their lighter skils. It reminded me of my favorite 4th ever when we lit all of our own fireworks in the street at the Goude's house in Grandview. Those were the days. I just sat there all night feeling like I was living a scene out of the Sandlot. Priceless.
This is Dennis right before he danced in the street for all of us with 6 sparklers between his fingers. Another Wolverine attempt? Probably.
