summer.

i've been thinking all day about how much i LOVE the summer.

(p.s.- i'm feeling kind of lazy today and i'm not going to capitalize at all.)

i thought it deserved its own blog post.

i'm one of those people whose mood is affected by the weather.

i'm not the most pleasant person when it's a snowy day.

in fact, when i see snow in the forecast at all, i get slightly depressed....

BUT lately i've been loving this!

mike and i have enjoyed so much time outside on walks, runs, picnics and BBQs.

speaking of BBQs... we had one on saturday night at sugarhouse park with several of our good friends from the Village and it was a BLAST.

i love those people. mike and i already miss our 25th ward like crazy.

anyway. back to summer. it's great.

plus, we all look better with a little vitamin D.

this summer we have plans to:

-go to lagoon this weekend

-lose some weight (i swore i wouldn't gain weight once i got married... haha. surprise surprise.)

-decorate our cute basement apartment

-go on an anniversary trip to LA (knotts berry farm AND universal studios!)

-go somewhere delish and new for our 1st year anniversary this month!

-eat lots of fruits and spinach salads

-have several picnics at local parks

-attend a few weddings (yay!)

-go camping at least 3 times (we need to use all our new camping gear)
