Where did all the summertime go?

Summer. The months I look forward to and now their gone. I expected to be working two jobs with only Sundays to really relax and enjoy myself, along with my mother's amazing homemade ice creams. Looking back I actually got to do quite a lot of fun things which I wasn't expecting. Here's the list of funness:

* Honeymooning (Disneyland, California Adventure, Six Flags and Vegas)
* Biathlon with my sisters (Who have now surpassed me in doing a triathlon, along with Scott. They are amazing! Maybe next year I wont be so poor and experience the pain and suffering too. Except I'll opt out on doing it with strep/bronchitis like Melanie =P)
* Warp Tour (Though ridiculously hot, me and Jon had quite a blast and got to see some fun bands like New Found Glory and Yellow Card)
* Vegas trip with the Patterson's (We got to stay in a Presidential Suite in the Cosmo! It was pretty dang fancy. They had some nice food and fun pools. Also got to walk the strip and see some cool sites like the Belagio fountain. Then on the way home we stopped by and walked around the Hoover Dam which I would never want to fall down from! I'm starting to see Mom in myself as I shied away from getting to close to the edge. It was super windy okay? But I forced myself to not chicken out =P)
* Made homemade ice cream myself! (I made peach ice cream for a church ice cream party that turned out delicious! And then had some left over half-and-half to make some chocolate peanut butter for a friend get together. That one was AMAZING!!! But also super rich so you couldn't eat a lot, probably a good thing though.)
* Random trip to Sedona (A family friend of Jon and also our bishop randomly offered us to stay for the weekend at their timeshare in Sedona, since for some reason unknown they couldn't go. Never been before so of course we said yes! We hauled along Jon's friend Jason and his girlfriend to our adventure. For the one day we had we decided to go to Slide Rock, which I've wanted to go since hearing about such an awesome place my Senior year of highschool. It was even better than what I imagined though it looked nothing like what I had. It was gorgeous and so much fun! We all had our share of slips and falls too. After around two hours of bruising, scraping and freezing our bodies we decided it was time to go. Definitely recommend this place to anyone with time in Sedona! But probably only for summer and the afternoon during then because the water was super cold.)
* Finally set up my house (As I said in the last post, I finally got some free time to clean and finally organize my apartment to look like a home. A home!!! I love it so much!)
* Made real dinners (This is what I was most excited/loved doing this summer and will greatly miss it! Sunday I guess I can have time but it was really nice to do three to four times a week.)

And that was summer! I miss it already, but for now bring on the school and homework, all 20 credits of it. Hopefully I survive...
