Hanging with Heather

 
On Saturday I spent the entire day with this cute girl, Heather. She came all the way from Oklahoma to be with me. Just kidding she's in town with her Uncle and Aunt for the month babysitting her cousins.


 First we walked around City Creek mall for a few hours

 

 Tried on some rad shades

 
 Then we walked around Temple Square for a few more hours



 Took a few fun pictures


Got a little artsy 


Then we headed back home on the train. When her Uncle picked  us up we headed to Smiths to pick up a few things for s'mores then we went to their place and had hot dogs and s'mores! It was a long but super awesome amazing day!

The Big Move


Heading back to Utah!
 

Well, here's the big fat truck to move all our stuff across the country.

 

 Story time. We all got up at around 6 to get ready and leave. Didn't leave the house until around 6:45. We start to head out. Before we get on the road we need to fill up with gas. That took maybe 10 minutes. Finally ready to get on the road! heading down the drive way of the gas station my dad gets the truck and trailer stuck, and I mean STUCK! It wouldn't budge! After about 30 minutes they finally get the trailer of the back of the truck! We still couldn't move the truck. Then some guy pulls up and says I have a fork lift just down the road I'll be right back . . . That's how we got the truck out.



 The traffic we caused!



On the road an hour later than planned


 I'm glad to get away from the outrageous heat and humidity in Oklahoma! It got up to 112


The flat lands! I actually will miss it!

 There was a thunder storm on the way that was incredible! This is the rain coming down from the clouds! It was so beautiful!


 Train. Thought it was neat so I took a picture


This was one of my favorite sunset pictures that I took! I love the trees lined up with the mountains behind it with the sun peaking through the clouds
 

 Rain on the windows


 Another sunset shot


I love this world! So beautiful


 More rain


 Sunrise above the train tracks

 In Utah! WooHoo
