Life Lately

Hey, guys. Guess what? I didn't fall off the face of the earth. Here I am! And here's life lately:

First off, I graduated!! whoohoooo!
On Thursday, May 30th me and 600 of my closest friends ("closest friends" being defined as the people I have literally spent the last 12 years of my life with) graduated from Dear Old AF High.
And here are some lovely photos of me and my friends and family on that day:

Me and the bestie.

The Fiends.

The Family, minus our missionary.

My Sr Trip took me to NYC! where i ate the best food in the whole world and walked the Brooklyn Bridge and saw 5 Broadway shows and went to the 9/11 memorial and stood in Time Square and got soaked to the bone in the pouring rain and walked through Central Park and took the Subway/learned about public transportation and ate hot dogs on the front steps of the MET where i had the biggest migraine and and and SO many other things. I'll spare you all the photos, but i will include a few:

Time Square.

The New York sunset from the top of the Rockefeller building.

New York in the rain.

The hallway of strollers in the Manhattan LDS Church building.

A lovely photo of The Lake in Central Park. Don't those row boats look fun?!

The largest piece of pizza i could find.

The friends who are more like family.

And to finish off, the NYC skyline.

Well, that's life lately, aside from Smoothie King, rodeos, concerts, and boating.
Sorry it's been so long.

POWELL

Ok, so my family has been going to Lake Powell every summer since I was like... 2.

We just returned from our latest trip-which was very fun, despite the lack of doing anything on my part.

So they say a picture is worth a thousand words... so here are 21,000 words for you-plus a little commentary. :)

First, some lovely landscapes, all photos taken by yours truly :)

 

 BEAUTIFUL clear waters :)

 the way I spent most of my week.

 the book.

loved it. easy/quick read. read it in an afternoon. tears and laughter.

it starts slow and is a little tacky but the author's/character's sense of humor is remarkably close to my own so i just thought it was hilarious :)

 ok, there's a white spot in this rock on this rock that looks like pac man.

this photo does no justice.

 so the boys just spent their week digging holes.....

the first one is pictured above and the second below.

the first one was HUGE! and perfectly square, and they dug right down to the sand stone.

the second was smaller, round (obviously) and they filled it with water to float in-which actually worked surprisingly....

 sand castle? try city.

 So, near Waweap is the Glen Canyon Dam (pictured below)

(sorry the pic is blurry, it was taken out of the window driving 30+mph)

 We went into town and saw.....

 ok, it was too funny not to take a picture.

also, at the Dam Plaza, there is the....

 and the....

 haha sorry it was just too funny :)

 our beach as we drove away :'(

driving home, came around a corner in the canyon and this is what we see. too gorgeous NOT to take a picture.

All and all it was a fantastic and relaxing week! I had a lot of fun-even though the collar bone kept me from wake-boarding, tubing, etc. I had lots of naps, read a lot, and was able to enjoy a fantastic week

{Also I realized that this was probably my last family trip to Lake Powell of my youth... :'( but let's not dwell on it.}
