LP

there's nothing like lake powell

looking haggard for 6 days straight

burning your skin to a crisp in 100 degree weather

falling asleep under the stars on the top of the houseboat

waking up to the burning sun every morning 

having every muscle in your body ache from tubing, crashing wake boarding, etc.

eating so much junk food you almost get diabetes

and laughing so hard with friends you feel like a kid again

all in all, our trip was a total success

minus the flat tire that happened about 1 hour into the drive

thanks to our manly men that was only a 30 minute delay though
and us ladies were very impressed while we sat and watched from the car

here is our trip in pics:

my husband is so freaking hot right now!

i learned that my husband is not only a borderline professional race car driver

but also a professional boat driver (i shoulda known)

he handled driving duties pretty much the whole trip

letting everyone else tube, wake surf, and wakeboard
so lets just add selfless and boat driver extraordinaire to his long list of amazing qualities

we have such legit friends

evident above by their hand dancing skills

we are so blessed

yes i am that nerd with the shirt on under her life jacket

i don't know what i was thinking.

i am so ashamed

now what did i say earlier...

we all look totally beat by the end of the trip

but it's only because we squeezed every ounce of fun out of us

so that makes us hot

long live LP!!!

25 by 25

since one of my obsessions is making to-do lists
(who doesn't love crossing something off a to-do list?  it's just so satisfying)

day date

as much as we love them...

after spending so much time with friends,

dawson and i decided it was time for a quick get away to park city

just the two of us

i'm so lucky dawson is my very best friend

i have yet to ever get sick of him (people say it will happen eventually)

but it's still my favorite thing to be with just him

isn't he so handsome?!

maybe i'm biased but he is REALLY funny too

i promise

vacay time

we are off to lake powell today!

i am so excited to spend a week in LP with the love of my life

i sure do love that boy in a swimsuit

and we are so stoked to be going with the funnest couples EVER

see you next week, hopefully bronzed and all in one piece!

keep your fingers crossed!

tomorrow will mark the OFFICIAL start of summer for us

dawson takes the LSAT at 1pm and then it's party time!

everyone please cross your fingers and say your prayers for him

he is such a smarty pants I know he'll be just fine, but it can't hurt to have a little extra help!

and then it's enough of this LSAT mistress, cuz I want my husband back to myself NOW.

last week we pretended it was really summer and had s'mores over a legit campfire.

elise, winston, jeff, and lauren and us went up millcreek and it was a blast.

i'm glad we are all so funny, and that my stomach hurts the next day from laughing.

maybe all that laughing will give me a 6-pack for lake powell this week!

boyfriends

girlfriends

please note that amazing invention over the fire by jeff.

no one likes biting into cold chocolate on a s'more - 

problem solved!!!

we told him he needs to patent that asap.

Summer days

I'm just going to be honest.  I was born for summer and the sun.

The past few weeks have been simply bliss.

(I mean the 4 days a week I have off).

I have yet to get sick of being lazy, and I think I should be a professional beach bum.
I just need to quit my job and move to California first.

Each day pretty much goes exactly like this:

Wake up to my boys. Eat breakfast with hubby. Hubby leaves to study. Take Dash for a long walk. 

Dash lays down every time we pass shade. Possibly go to the grocery store. Go to Crossfit with my momma or hit the gym. 

Sunbath with my best buddy. Read the day away. Get showered and ready so Dawson doesn't know how lazy we've been. 

Then the best part of the day, Dawson gets home!

I can't wait til June 11th, then he can join Dash and I in our daily routine.
