Time goes too fast

So my last post talked about how summer was almost here and now summer is already gone! Where does the time go??? It always seems like summer goes by way too fast. Summer is always full of fun activities, holidays, and family get togethers. I enjoy that it's warm and sunny and that it is light in the mornings and the evenings. It's so wonderful! I hate that it always flies by. I wish I could slow down time during the summer so it would last longer. :)

My goal this summer was to take more pictures and I did take some, but of course I forgot my camera a lot or I forgot I had. Here's a few of the pictures that I did get though. By the way, I am well aware that I don't look so great in pictures! lol These have motivated me to do my best to keep up with my workouts even with school starting, which I will get to later in the post.

These two pictures below are walking up to timpanogos cave, which by the way is quite the hike! The hike is a little over a mile which doesn't sound bad right? Wrong. You go up over 1000 ft in elevation. The worst part about it was going down. You'd think going down should be easy, well it is, but man did my butt sure hurt when we got to the bottom. Apparently I don't go downhill much and use those muscles.


This is also on the way up to the cave. Doesn't this stick look like it's holding the rock up?

Funny story about the cave. Our guide was very awkward. He was trying to be all nice and involve the kids, but it came across very weird. At the end of our tour he gathered everyone together and said, "This has been some great human contact." It was the funniest thing. Who says that? It just sounded goofy. We got a good laugh at that while we were walking down the mountain with our friends that we went with.

We also got to go up to Survivors at the Summit at Snowbird. It was a lot of fun. Pictures below. Keep in mind this was on August 6th. Look how much snow there still is!




I am well aware that it is gross that we were holding the dirty snow, but we just had to do it! :)

Now onto what is to come the rest of the year. School starts today, but I don't have class until tomorrow which is nice. This semester is going to be CRAZY! Let me give you a little idea of what my schedule will be like:
Monday: Work 6:30 am - 6:30 pm
Tuesday: Class 9:00 am - 11:45 pm; Work 12:30 pm - 6:30 pm
Wednesday: Work 6:30 am - 6:30 pm
Thursday: Class 9:00 am - 1:15 pm; Class again 5:30 pm - 8:10 pm (no work)
Friday: Work 6:30 am - 6:30 pm

I'm hoping to make it to the gym right after work on Monday - Wednesday and Friday and then I can go home and make dinner after. That makes later dinners though which I don't particularly love, but I need to make it to the gym. Plus, I thought ahead and I have made a meal plan for the whole semester! That makes dinners so much easier. This semester is definately going to be interesting! Shawn's schedule is pretty much the same except he has a night class Monday's and his Tuesday is like my Thursday. It's going to be way busy, but we're getting so close to being done. One more semester for Shawn after this and two for me!

I'm sure this post is way long, but it'll probably be the last for a while. Unless of course I'm trying to find a way to avoid homework one day! :)
