Summer Update

I haven't blogged in so stinking long! This has been a complete whirlwind of a summer! Since last time I blogged, my sister-in-law, Alesha got married. Her and her husband, Erik are so cute. We are so happy to have Erik in the family! Congratulations, Erik and Alesha!

I also had an opportunity to work up in Grand Teton National Park last weekend. My room had the BEST view!
I have also been going to Zumba classes this summer with my friend, Mindy. They are so much fun! We really have had a blast. I have some new stellar booty shaking abilities!
I have been reading here and there whenever I can. I read the Hunger Games at the beginning of the summer and fell in love with it. The story is amazing and just sucked me right in. I started the second novel of the series, Catching Fire, during the thick of all the events I was planning... and unfortunately, I didn't get time to finish it before it was due. I only got about 1/2 of the way through it, and it must be great, because the wait list at the library is never-ending. I bought it today and will finish it soon. I also bought the final novel of the series that just came out this month, Mockingjay.

I have been reading some Sophie Kinsella as well and I love her! Her stories make me laugh out loud. I read Can You Keep a Secret first, and that was great. I am currently listening to The Undomestic Goddess and like it so far.

I am also still reading the Vampire Academy series. I am almost done with the 3rd book, Shadow Kiss, and I love it so far. The series is great. I think I like it as much, or even better, than Twilight. Bella is just hard for me to take... so codependent and whiny!

The Fair starts this weekend, so I'm sure that's what I'll be doing with one of my days off! I'm really excited to spend a whole day with Justin... it seems like that rarely happens for us! I'll make sure to complete the experience with a pronto pup, scone nuggets, and maybe a funnel cake : D
