“live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.” – ralph waldo emerson

note: the song radioactive by imagine dragons says “i’m radioactive, radioactive” in the chorus…not “i’m ready to rock you, ready to rock you.”
in case you were ever confused.
unless you’re at our house.
then either are accepted, although “ready to rock you” feels more natural.

also …i have a secret girl crush on jennifer lawrence.
also …we listen to the pitch perfect soundtrack every. single. day.
also …i really wanted des to end up with brooks and i knew he would have won if he didn’t do that thing where he told her he didn’t love her and he was leaving and then was crying and didn’t want to leave her which made us all confused and i was so sad and i feel bad for des and i don’t know who i hope she ends up with because i don’t care because she already kicked off juan pablo and now brooks is gone so what else matters??

in other news, i caught another fish:

so did tayte:

ok he caught like 7 that day or something.
so proud of him, so jealous.
i just wanna catch a bunch of fish like him.
sheesh.

so we went up to the morgan area (ever see troll 2?) last weekend for a family reunion on tayte’s side.
we went up friday and came back sunday.
it was fun to be up in the cool air, away from school and responsibilities and stuff.
then on monday, we drove up into the uintas to meet up with tayte’s brother, jaren, his wife lindsey, their kids, and lindsey’s parents and brother up by trial lake.
{yes, we came home sunday afternoon from one camping trip, and went on another one less than 24 hours later. hardcore much? and some people think i’m not very outdoorsy}
it was kinda rainy/really cold the rest of monday, so we just hung out.
we went down to the lake and fished a little, but i had articles to read for a research paper (ugh!) so i read those.
that night, i was f r e e z i n g so my dear husband went out and got our 2 extra sleeping bags and blanket from the car and covered me.
i slept like a baby that’s sleeping on the ground.
but tuesday, the menfolk went on a hike to some other lakes in the morning.
after lunch, we all went to washington lake (see above pictures) and fished and kayaked and walked a ways around the lake, fishing as we went.
we decided to say our goodbyes, since we have school and work and stuff.
plus we were hungry.

on the way home we made a quick stop…

{just for the picture, of course…}

when we got home, we realized that we are both FRIED.
not a joke.
me more so, of course.
it’s ok.
it’s just deja vu.
i just got over a bad sunburn.
time for another one, i guess.
here’s to summer.

holler, holler, holler.
