"If you ever feel your burden is too great to bear, lift your heart to your Heavenly Father, and He will uphold and bless you. He says to you, as He said to Joseph Smith, “[Your] adversity and [your] afflictions shall be but a small moment; and then, if [you] endure it well, God shall exalt [you] on high.”

"It is your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself, that determines how your life’s story will develop."

summer goodbye.

Alright, I know I've been terrible at blogging this summer and now it's over! I'm so so sad...but I do love Fall in Utah so I think I'll be okay :) Lots of changes this summer...mainly involving many best friends moving away :( It kind of blows being a grown up!  There have been some good adventures though. Thankgoodness for PTO to keep my sanity.  It has now been a whole year since I first started at Huntsman. Overall it has been a great experience and I feel very fortunate to work at such a great facility. And to have a JOB! Definitely can't take that for granted. Still living at the Alamo and very happy to be living with ALL girls again :)  So here's a picture-story summer update.

Massive Moab trip with these lovely gals, Kris and Linds.
Always such a fun time!

Keys on Main. Seriously one of the funnest nights I've ever had! 

I was lucky to have the 4th of July weekend off. It is one of my favorite holidays! My whole fam was in town so we spent the day doing our traditional BBQ, swimming, water balloon volleyball and fireworks. Later that night I met up with friends in Sugarhouse for more fireworks and an after party.

Went to visit Loren in beautiful British Columbia!

Flying with our pilot friend Brad.

  

Mountain biking with some of my co-workers. First time...barely survived!

Cali trip with the fam.

Goodbye to Steph and Brookie. 

As well as my high school buds Mikel and Shayla :(

Now ready for some Fall adventures!
