Yep, I know it has been forever! I have been pretty busy or have not felt like writing. Now I have lot to catch up on. Although I am sure nobody was disappointed, lol.
In June I got to go rafting on the Colorado River near Moab. I was expecting an easy, peaceful ride, but ended up almost dead when we got stuck in some bad rapids. Still, it was a lot of fun!
Later I was able to go on my yearly tour of the Hidden Gardens, this year mostly in Sandy, UT. This is my second year going with my friend Mikaela and I loved it. My camera battery was low so I didn't get to take as many pictures as I would have liked.
I also accomplished a goal I have had for awhile. For years I have wanted to run a half marathon and was going to run last year, but the race I wanted to do had sold out. So this year I was able to do the AF Canyon Half, which I loved, especially since the money went to help cancer families or research. It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be and I was only sore for 2 days. I also beat my goal time. I am planning on doing another one and improving my time. This first time was just about finishing. I would have been able to go faster had I not burst out crying so many times thinking of my Mom and Grandma. I also thought I had a rock in my shoe, but found a piece of glass in my foot the next day.
In other news, I chopped off my hair. I didn't want to, but I was so hot. I hope it will grow back fast for when the weather turns cold. I am also moving! I am so excited! I am going from 3 roommates to only having one. I will live in the same apartment complex as my younger brother, but I am pretty sure we will mind our own business. I am excited for their baby to come soon though. So with the move comes buying a new couch set! I also bought decor for the living room. Shopping has been a lot of fun and I am stoked that I will be able to freely have people over. The only downside is that I won't have my garden space, but I bought a little green house and will have pots on my porch.
Besides that I have been dating a lot and I am headed to Colorado in August for our first family reunion. I am also looking forward to a trip with a friend to St. George to see some plays. Tootles for now;)

| Love mosses and how they used them here. |

This backyard reminded me of Silver Dollar City.
It was the most unique yard/house. |

This backyard reminded me of the storybook ride at Disneyland.
It had miniature everything with a train going through it all, so neat!!! |

| Yep, this garden owner had 3 tortoise's, they were so cool |

My favorite garden, mostly because it was so Asian, had a lot of moss,
succulents and a water feature which are all some of my favorites. |

| My co-worker also ran the half. We ran together for about 4 miles. |

Oh ya, this is a random picture,
but I had so much fun picking up baby quail at work that kept falling over the ledge. |

| Last but not least the mini greenhouse I bought to put herbs in when I move. |
