Summer has come and gone!

Where has this summer gone? It flew by way fast. It seemed like we were so busy this summer. Just this past months we have had two weddings! The first wedding was Brian and Lizzy Dankers on Friday, August 13, 2010 . They got married in the beautiful SLC Temple and a nice humid sunny day.


The next wedding was Chris's best friend Kelly. Kelly and Karlie Stratford were married on Wednesday, August 18, 2010 also in the SLC Temple. It was nice and quiet. The way it should always be. The reception was beautiful and bright (well until the clouds came in, but the lights on the chandelier looked amazing.)
All of the groomsmen.

Chris and I also took a weekend to relax and shop. We decided to spend a couple nights in Salt Lake. The 15th floor has an amazing view. We also went to The New Yorker. If your feeling rich, this is the place to eat. It was so yummy!





Every summer is my free time to read! Reading in the summer takes over my life. You pretty much can catch me with a book. I have read some pretty amazing books. Just lately i've gotten into the Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. Hunger Games is an amazing book, that catches you at the beginning. You dont want to put the book down, then when I got to the second book Catching Fire that was even more amazing. In the end it just leaves you hanging. Good thing the third book came out Mockingjay, and I cant wait to read it. Even though it's against me to read while in school, because I cant concentrate on my homework, but its a must.
I tried making Chris read these amazing books but the only way he said he would read them, is if I would go gambling. For me gambling does not sound fun at all, and the smoke in those places just makes me sick. The thought of losing money does not appeal to me. But Chris said the same thing about reading. So hopefully I can convince him, without losing money.

There have been other books that I have enjoyed like:
The Last Song, By Nicholas Sparks
Dear John, By Nicholas Sparks
The Lucky One, By Nicholas Sparks
Royal Target, Traci Hunter
Saving Madeline, Rachel Ann Nunes
Timeless Waltz series, Anita Stansfield
The Sound of Rain series, Anita Stansfield
Imprints, Rachel Ann Nunes
No Longer Strangers, Rachel Ann Nunes
...and much much more! These are some of my most favorite authors. I know by next summer I will already be having a list waiting for me. My sister is a library, so she provides much of these books for me! Thanks Kayla for making my summer so great (even though Chris didn't like it so much :))!
