Summer Fun!

Frozen yogurt is the best at Orange Leaf! We have only gone 2 times so far, but I am not against making it a weekly occurrence.

Running is getting better and better.  I was running on average about a 7:30 min/mile, but have learned that if I want to be a distance runner, I need to pace myself.  So I have been trying to keep in between 9 and 10 min/mile.  It has made a world of difference in how I feel when and after I run.  (I now know what a runner's high is!)

I mowed the lawn to surprise Jeff and ended up demolishing a sprinkler down to the pipes... He fixed it and I sunbaked.  What a good husband ;)

We have a nice row of raspberry bushes in our yard. They are now yielding at least 15 ripe raspberries per day and we can tell that soon there will be more than we can eat! I am not complaining. We have requested that the neighbors help us to keep them under control haha!

I crafted a wreath for 4th of July! I love having a home to make crafts for.

I made this.  Yes.  ME!  I am so proud of myself because most of the loafs I have made in the past have been too dense.  This was an italian loaf from this recipe: http://www.simplysogood.com/2010/03/crusty-bread.html

This recipe is seriously life changing.... I don't think I will really need to buy bread anymore.  I have a cinnamon loaf rising as I write this blog at work, and the next one I will try is wheat.  So EXCITED.

We went to a wedding and had fun in the photobooth. It is our first one since our own. :)  Not sure why/if that is momentus.  Congrats David and Carlee! They were so gorgeous and I'm sad I didn't take photos of them.



Oh my gosh.  Boba World.  It's this quaint little Chinese restaurant in Bountiful that we had heard rave reviews about.  We decided to give it a try, even though neither of us really love Chinese food that much.  Man oh man, are we glad we did! It is phenomenal.  The drink is a "mango slush" or "boba" or "chewing drink". I love them, Jeff doesn't.  But we also had cream cheese wontons and Shrimp Shanghai Noodles. SO DELICIOUS.  Also, this sweet couple (regulars of Boba World) gave us the scoop about the owners and the menu and shared some of their food with us! Not sure what it was exactly because they just asked the owner, Dawson, to make something his grandmother would make for him in Shanghai and it was delicious too!



Cute Ike.  Pictures of him never get old. :)  He loves to lounge in the grass at our feet.

You'd think based off this photo that we (my cute friend Amber and I) are just hanging out in an industial parking lot... Poor choice of backdrop. (we don't want to get our phones stolen/wet/lost inside the park)  We are actually at Seven Peaks in Provo.  Jeff and I have used our Pass of All Passes many times this summer already.  We have gone 4 times so far! Great way to beat the summer heat!
