Mount Olympus

Today was must first and last time I will hike Mount Olympus. We went early this morning,  luckily we were in the shade the whole way up. I didn't want to drink much so I didn't have to go to the bathroom, but I ended up drinking two water bottles! The way up was super hard straight up and rockyyy. It made me totally feel like a wuss... I felt like I was always asking to stop and rest.


At the top! There was a huge drop off right behind us. NBD.


My feet afterwards, I seriously looked like a black person!


The top was super sweet, you had to boulder up a ways to make it to the peak. I signed the book up at the top too! My favorite part was the double BIG gulp at 7-11. I don't think I will be hiking for a while.....

Weddings

3 weddings in the past week. Reminds me I want a wedding, not a marriage. 


Friday was Megan Bevan's in someone's backyard in Bluffdale. Her colors were lime green and bright pink. Summer weddings outside are so fun. She had ice cream sundaes and an old antique car parked in back. She looked great of course.


Tuesday was Chasilyn Shook's. Xanni, Madi and I drove up to Salt Lake to go see her come out of the temple. We made it just in time! Between the ceremony and the luncheon we visited Nelson's Frozen Custard... delish. The luncheon was at a friend's backyard in Bluffdale. It was great until I got sick and curled up in a ball and rocked myself on the side of the house for an hour... #embarrassing. 


Thursday was my cousin Charlotte's. We waited and waited in the temple waiting room for them to come out. They finally did. She was so happy. The luncheon was at the Joseph Smith Memorial building on the 10th floor. It was beautiful! She played a song on the piano for her new hubby Austin. The reception was at the Draper Historic Park, it was a great venue. The weather was perfect. And they had snow cones there so gooood. I caught the bouquet too! Haha 2 years in the making with the help of Madi using her lacrosse skills boxing out :)


So I think I'm done with weddings for a while. As Madi McCleary put it.... I think my wedding will be anti-clamatic(I don't know how to spell the word, but you know what I mean.)
