Bear Lake!

Saturday I was able to spend a beautiful day up at Bear Lake with Tessa and her dad, aunt, and cousin. We got out on the lake around 11:00 and spent the first couple hours wake boarding and enjoying the water. There were TONS of boats on the lake!! Around 1:00 the sky was starting to look pretty dark and scary. We decided to head back to the marina so we could get the tube out of the truck. As we were heading for the marina it was like a swarm of boats doing the same thing. I'm guessing everyone got worried about the sky and thought a bad storm was coming. But, no grey sky is going to stop us! We got the tube and headed back out on the lake. We just stopped and had lunch and by the time we were done, the sun was peeking out from behind the clouds and the sky had cleared up quite a bit! So, of course, the fun continued. Richard and I had a pretty intense tube ride, thanks to Tessa. Yesterday I was feeling it pretty good, my neck and shoulders were very sore! I also got a little sunburned, but that's okay. I had a ton of fun! Bear Lake is definitely one of my favorite places to go! I don't think I can ever get enough of that place, with the blue water and sunshine! Ah, it's perfect!! It helps that I love to swim, too. :)

Here are a few pictures from the day!

Weekend of the 24th

I'm alive, no worries. Just waaaaaaay out of the habit of blogging. Ooops. Last weekend I went up to Hyrum and stayed with Mom and Dad. It was nice to be back and see old friends. And it was especially nice to sleep in my, oh so comfortable bed back home.

Thursday I went to brunch at Angie's with Tessa. It's always great to catch up with old friends and talk about what's happening in life. Later, I went with Mom and Dad to look for bedroom furniture. We found a mattress, but I still haven't made a decision on a bed. I am trying to decide between two. One from IKEA, and one from Palmer Furniture in Logan. I'm going to try to go to IKEA tomorrow to check out the bed I want, and hopefully after seeing it I will be able to make my decision. :)

In between the furniture search I went to lunch at Beehive Grill with Micah, Cathy, and Scott. It was my first time eating at Beehive Grill. I thought my lunch was okay, but nothing spectacular. I did learn something exciting though. Micah is ENGAGED. He and Cathy are getting married in September. Congratulations to them! Micah and I have been really good friends since my Junior year in high school. So this is very exciting and great news that he's found someone!

Later that night, Nick and I took a drive to Bear Lake. It was just lovely. We went to a beach on the southwest side of the lake and just walked down to the water. Nick went swimming and I took pictures and waded in the water. It is really high this year, and Nick was out pretty far and the water was still only up to his thighs. Before heading back to Logan we stopped at La Beau's Too and got some shakes. Yum! I love La Beau's, and La Beau's Too was great because there was NO line, and it was the SAME shakes. It was great. After the deliscious shakes, we drove back to Logan. We made it just in time to meet up with Micah for the Fireworks at Willow Park. Nick borrowed my camera and caught some really cool shots of the fireworks.
