The Many Adventures of You & Me: August 2008

Happy Birthday to Me!!

August 1: I went to work, and got the coolest present from Bridget... a color wonder coloring book. I love to color so I was really excited. After work I went to Costa Vida with Kim and then off to Dreyers Ice Cream Headquaters for the Utah vs. BYU ice cream kick off. Then it was time to sit in hours of traffic while heading up to Ogden to go indoor skydiving! It was a blast and my instructor was really good looking. Off to the cabin to go boating for a few hours and eat some delicious homemade pizza (a birthday staple). It was a wonderful birthday spent with Logan, Brittany, Justin, mom and dad.

August 2: The fun isn't over yet! We got up early to get in some good water, came home to eat breakfast and enjoy some fun conversation and back out we went to try wake surfing (which is a blast) Afterwards Dean, Billie, Lisa, and Reed stopped by the cabin and we had a nice little family bonding. I had to race back to Murray to get ready for a BBQ with some friends, which turned into watching X-games in the pool house and talking about indoor skydiving and wake surfing. Oh well it was fun anyways! It was a fun day, but I have to say from August 1 at 12:30 pm to August 2 at 5:30pm were the greatest moments of the birthday weekend. (besides seeing some people out of the work setting in my backyard. Thanks for coming Amber and Jared!)

August 3: To end the fabulous weekend of birthday fun I went to church and colored in my new gift! I also had a family party with Logan, the Snow's and my parents. Just the normal family tradition of hiding present and hanging out. Brooklyn and Ellie helped me find all of my gifts and got a piece of candy for their hard work. We had a few sword fights, ate some Baskins Robbins mint chocolate chip ice cream cake (Ellie had 2 pieces and 2 mini ice cream cones), sat and talked about random stuff (how can you not with Dave around), and ended the night watching B and E fight over whose turn it was and tried to show each other up with their incrediable somer salts, hand stands and kart wheels. It was a great birthday and I think 23 is going to be a good year!

I have pretty funny video of every part of the weekend but I am too lazy to post it, so just use your imagination and the provided pictures!
