- our porch. this is the first real porch i've ever had. we have director's chairs and pretty flower boxes and sammy, the waddling neighborhood cat. i spend so much time out there eating and reading and watching my neighbors' relationship possibly develop into a three-some. (it's confusing. we're all trying to figure it out) (and by we, i mean all my roommates. we stalk them throughout the day)
- ashley has a fire-pit AND invented a new kind of s'more. it involves texas toast. intrigued right? also, i'm looking forward to re-creating the GIANT s'more that was originally made last summer. my sugar tolerance knows no bounds.
- so many awesome weekends have already been had, and they only continue to improve. some examples -
the weekend we got henna tattoos.
and ate waffles.
or the weekend i spent with janiece (photos pending). we thrifted, had a pre-rapture celebration that included sushi and dancing at a beach-themed club (there was a cage. AND a pole), played at the park, hung out in coffee houses, ventured to ikea and provo, and ate a lot of gelato and cupcakes.
or the weekend where they re-opened the pond at liberty park. if you're familiar with gilmore girls, it was pretty much a stars hollow experience. there was a of cheering, a ribbon cutting ceremony, and even a band in the gazebo. even though it started to rain, it was pretty magical. this was also the weekend i made my first pizza, and learned what happens when you light dandelions on fire.
this past week marked my first slurpee of the summer, first major bike-ride of the summer, the head and the heart/iron and wine concert, spending hours on the porch, burning my leg on a motorcycle (rookie mistake), getting attacked by the hair straighter kiosk at the mall, going to a screening of super 8 (looooved it), playing 4-square at FHE, a power-outage party, and so much neighbor stalking. it will conclude with a trip to southern utah with my family to visit my great-grandpa.
like i said. i love this summer.
Sometimes we live the same weekend.

I, too, went on my first major bike ride of the summer last weekend. (Didn't you love it!?)
Burning your leg on a motorcycle? Yep, been there, done that. {ouch} {but awesome scar}
Super 8! Made by JJ Abrams, who thought up LOST. In other words, I'm excited to see that film.
Stalking neighbors? - yeah. We have neighbors below us that've been gone for a month now. But they still have a car in the lot. We're sorta wondering if there might be a body in their apartment.
See what I mean? Same weekend. ish.
