Utah the Beautiful

What a beautiful place! It's easy for me to love Utah when snow and cold aren't keeping me captive inside! We had an extraordinary time enjoying the mountains, fly fishing, the red rock deserts and boating. We love our families and are grateful for the time we had with them!

Coral Pink Sand Dunes-- a side trip on the way to Lake Powell. Well worth the short drive.

Lake Powell -No better place to celebrate the 4th of July. Ty still rocks on his wake board! Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of his crazy flips. My camera is too slow!

Fly fishing- Don't ask who caught more fish ;)

Grandma's Day at Secret Lake

Girl Time at the Beach

A few days after school ended (Ty was in Utah starting his dermatology rotation) my sister Jenny and her two girls, Madelaine and Liberty came out for some girl time!!! We had a blast staying up late, watching movies, doing pedicures, shopping, eating out and going to the beach EVERY day! The four of us flew back to Utah together so I could join Ty for his 6 week rotation.

School's out for Summer!

School ended the first week in June- I can't even begin to appreciate what a great school year I had! My students were an absolute pleasure to teach. They made life very easy for me, and although some days left me scratching my head in confusion at the cultural differences, all in all they kept me laughing. I hope my seniors went on to do good things with their lives.

This is one of my favorite students. Her name is Pollyanna Ferdinand. She told me that her Mom named her after some "happy white girl from an old movie." He he he, it made me giggle.Diligent students at work.
