Quick June catch up!

June has been flying by! Life feels like it goes too quickly when you have a full time job. I started working at the Early Childhood Education Center (ECEC) at the University of Utah. I love it! The kids are all so sweet and I just love watching little kids learn. I love seeing their eyes light up when they've finally understood something or remembered something we've been learning. My favorite part of my day is walking in each morning and hearing them say, "Miss Beth is here! Miss Beth, Miss Beth!" It makes my day! I love how excited they are when they see me.

Can I complain for just a minute? Of course I can, this is my blog. Mike is so busy. And I mean so busy! He works two different jobs at his gym, is still working for RISE, has an internship doing research at the U, is taking a math class, and is training at his gym. I'm amazed we ever find time to see each other. It's hard. It sucks and I hate it. I hope it will all be worth it. I appreciate his hard work so much, but sometimes I wish I could tell him to blow it off to spend more time with me instead. I have never been so excited for fall (hopefully things will settle down for him then)

The good news is we have a couple of things to look forward to this summer. Next month, we are going to go to MOAB! I have only been once and this time we will be hiking to the Delicate Arch, which I couldn't be more excited for since I've never done that before! Mike is so excited because he is planning the whole thing. He gets to show me around a place that he absolutely loves. I'm excited too! It means 2 1/2 days together without work getting in the way.

The second thing we have to look forward to, is we are going to California for my cousin's wedding in August! I'm so excited to go to the beach together, build sandcastles, splash in the waves, and again, spend a few days together away from work and school. I'm glad we can have things to look forward to, it helps make the hard times all the more worth it.

OH. and I made my summer list....

swimming

go to the water hole

visit a lemonade stand

go to a drive-in movie

hike cecret lake (mueller park hike as well)

watch the meteor shower

go to liberty park/ride the ferris wheel

go to the beach/build a sandcastle

go to the farmer's market

learn/attempt to learn how to longboard

go to moab and hike the delicate arch

Any other ideas for me? I love suggestions, I'm sure there are plenty other fun summer traditions I'm missing.

I hope all of you have a wonderful, safe summer! Make sure to take advantage of all the time you have in the warm sun before fall runs around! This is my favorite time of the year and I will take advantage of it, hope you do too! :)
