Newport and Aspen Grove

Jake's family goes on a trip every fourth of july to Newport Beach ,Ca!!! Now that i am in the family, I get to go too!! We had such a great time while we were there. We mainly hung out at the beach, went on walks, bikerides, ate great food, and hung out with great people. We were sad Jake's brother Alex could not be there. He had just gotten his wisdom teeth out and had to be in town for football practice. He is on the football team at Timpview High! Jake's other sister Julie was not able to come either, so we missed them both!! Just 15 hours after we got home from Newport we picked up my grandma and drove up to Aspen Grove ( which is up by Sundance in Utah) and checked into our lodge, where we stayed for the next week. It was fun to be there with all of my family, minus my sister cheryl and her daughter keirsten ( her daughter was born prematurly and was advised by the doctors not to make the journey from Texas to Utah) We were sad not to have them there with us :( Her husband travis came up for the week with their three other children and was a trooper to be there without Cheryl!! Jake was busy almost every minute playing some type of sport with my brothers Brent and Brad. We even went hiking while we were there and it was awesome! I registered to take my nursing boards on August 12, so I am doing pretty much nothing but studying and hanging out with Jake till then!! Well thats it for now :)
