A little anniversary weekend date night with D to Dry Bar comedy. It had been a minute since we’ve seen some good live comedy and Karen Morgan came through tonight. Lots of laughs. (And we randomly ran into Tanner's mom Laura and her husband plus my niece Michelle and her kids.)

We may have teased our kids that we got some Pinguino's gelato when we really just took a photo in front of it. 31 years of humor right there.  :)

You know those small blocks of time that aren’t really a big deal but at the same time they’re a big deal? Like tonight me, D, K, R, C, S and I got peaches and ice cream at Burgess Orchards. It was maybe an hour excursion and it yet it was so wonderful. Laughing and chatting and reminiscing all while eating peaches and ice cream on the lawn was summer perfection.

Darren and I had another great year of marriage.  Here's a few photos from some of our favorite places we saw together this year.

Druid Arch, Titcomb Basin, Enchantments, Rocky Mountain National Park, North Cascades, Bryce, and The Moab Diner.

Went on two hikes this week.  Wednesday Lorien and I hiked to a new spot - Mount Tuscarora via Catherine Pass.  Cool views from up there. 

Today the group hiked to Catherine Lake.  Kinda cool to contrast views from on Tuscarora and beneath Tuscarora.  I loved seeing Mr. Marmot.


And hello Timp (below).  Kinda cool we could see that familiar mountain from up there.

Embracing the summer bod that comes from roasted marshmallows, mountain house calories, burgers and fries after hikes, and salty summit snacks.

Went to the temple today and a tender mercy came in the form of a name. I was proxy for Ethel Mountain. Yes her last name was mountain and it made me feel seen. Out of all the names in all the different booths, I went in the one with her name ready.
