A great childhood memory

Today I was driving back to my apartment after getting my books and this song came on the radio:

Suddenly, I was back in our house in Sandy. I was no older than the wonderful age of three. I remember waking up to the smell of pancakes. I heard giggling outside my bedroom, along with this song blasting on the stereo. I went outside my room and mom was in our family room dancing in a robe and with a towel wrapped around her hair while dad was making breakfast for us. We all started dancing together, the whole family. After that time I remember several times we would put this CD in and blast it throughout the whole house. Even after we moved to our house in Draper. The whole family singing and dancing together. Aw, the good times. :)

Summer is nearing its end

Welp, I start school in 13 days. Which means, summer is just about officially over. It's been an amazing one. I still have stories I want to record on this here blog from my incredible study abroad, so those will be coming. But here are a few things I've been up to since returning to the U S of A:

Stadium of Fire with Carrie. I love her.

Draper Days Rodeo with Club Style Kids. Love them.

Entertainment from the boys of Club Style. (Here we were at the Gateway)
Weddings of lifetime friends. Candace was a beautiful bride and it was a great day.
A visit to Ohio and Indiana to see family. Complete with a trip to the beach in Michigan.
Playing with my much missed nieces and nephews.
Sisters reunited.
Friends reunited.
Playin' with penguins and other aquatic animals at the aquarium. I love my job.

It has been a great summer. I'm kind of sad it's ending, but I'm really excited for this next school year to begin.

P.S. here's the video I put together with clips from a Club Style trip to the Gateway. You're always entertained with these guys. :)

Austria and Germany

The final week of my adventures in Europe: Austria and Germany. Mom, Dad, and Kaitie met me in Paris and we took a night train to Munich. We then went to Salzburg, Ettal/Oberammergau, and ended in Munich. These are some of the most beautiful places I've seen yet. I miss EuroWorld. A lot.
