Well on the third of july, so last saturday, my family (minus the older two) went and hiked this little short technical canyon called Hidden Canyon, which it was a lot of fun. I haven't done anything like that in quite awhile so I was pretty nervous, but thanks to the level headedness of my little brother I was just fine. It lead to a few realizations though. #1. I am really bad at that kind of stuff. I have no balance, no natural grace or agility, I'm not entirely fearless like my sister, I usually end up taking awhile and getting pretty dinged up just because I'm not that great at it, but that fact really doesn't matter, because I try. I go and do all the hikes, regardless of how bad at it I am, and I think that says alot. #2. I want to marry somebody who is willing to do all that kind of stuff as well. I may not always enjoy hiking, but I would hate to never be able to go do it with my husband. #3. I definitely want my kids to learn how to do all of that stuff. I want them to learn from an early age to be completely fearless when it comes to that kind of stuff. I have met a few people in the last little while who were completely helpless, and I don't want my kids to ever end up being like that.
Anyway, so 4th of July sunday, yeah we didn't really celebrate. One of the disadvantages to not having any little kids around, holidays kinda lose their appeal. Oh well. It wasn't a bad day, we got hot dogs from maverik, I got to watch my dad get shocked by the electric fence. That was awesome! and hilarious! and just hung out as a family, which I wouldn't have it any other way.
And I guess last but not least, fitness updates....I haven't done super great. I did a little better but not really. I just can't seem to make myself go running very much lately, but I will get back into it this week. It makes me so mad because I want to be that girl. The one that you always see running. The one that you can't believe would ever run for that long at a time. The one that loves it. I'm pretty happy with who I am for the most part, but that is one aspect of me that I want to change. So it's another week of reapplying myself and doing better than I have been.
I get to go to Salt Lake next week just for like a day to get some paperwork filled out for a scholarship, and I'm going to go turn in my resume to a butt-load of pharmacies, and hopefully I can get into one for the fall and get certified. I'm really excited to go. I think I'm getting ready to move back up there. This summer has been good, but I'm ready to go back to having my own thing going on. My own house, and all that jazz. There are actually only 5 weeks until I go back. I can't believe that!! This summer has gone by super fast. Which is both good and bad. I'm looking forward to a lot of things this next year, but also dreading them at the same time. Hopefully they will go good.
