The Quad and I restarted our traveling pants around again at Cami's wedding in June. Here is the letter I sent out with my pants. Some of the content may be altered for public viewing :) Photos will be included...My ,
My Dearest Quad Members,
I’m sorry that I was such a bad start to round 2 of the traveling pants. It has been a busy but fun summer! Part of the holdup was the fact that I couldn’t find the right embellishment to add to the pants. But in an effort to keep them moving I am not going to add an embellishment this time and I will start earlier next time and add 2 embellishments. For the record though I was looking for something to represent the dark angel, my signature title, to add to the pants but it didn’t happen this round. I know that I am cheating a little but hopefully you can forgive me :)
This last month and a half has been busy. I have been working hard and playing hard with a significant amount of time spent at 7 peaks, the pool at my complex, and working on my tennis skills.
In July, Brooke and our good friend Stephen Steele came to visit me. Sooo much fun! I wish they both still lived in Utah. I actually wish all of you lived here! While they were here we went to Lagoon, my first time ever, ate a lot including a progressive dinner to 3 different restaurants, went to J Dawgs and Park City Outlets and even rode on the Ferris Wheel from the movie Charly. The pants apparently made me lose my mind a little because when we were leaving the outlets I couldn’t find my keys and realized that I had left them in the ignition with my car running for the whole 2 ½ hours we were there. How embarrassing. Fortunately I live in Utah and my car didn’t get stolen. In case you are wondering how much gas your car uses idling for 2 ½ hours it is ¼ tank. What a fun weekend!
I have also been attending all the concerts my little heart desires. We went to Stadium of Fire with Brad Paisley and David Archuleta during the 4th of July weekend and were able to get 2nd row tickets from 2 boys in our ward that work for the Festival that sponsors the concert. It was amazing! I was about 1 foot from Brad Paisley. It was a great night! We owe those boys big! The next weekend I went to Kenny Chesney, also great. Billy Currington and Uncle Kracker opened for him. It was a good concert! Last night I was able to go to the Tim McGraw concert with The Band Perry and Luke Bryan opening. I officially have a new celebrity crush on him. He is a very sexy man!
I also have recently planned all my trips for the fall including So Cal in August, Chicago in September, and Pennsylvania in October. I love my job for letting me have so much paid time off.
I guess this is the brief update on my life. It is fun, probably too fun at times when I don’t get anything else done. I love you all and I’m glad we have these pants to keep our friendship going. We are so lucky to still be such good friends. Yesterday the Vitamin C graduation song came on my Ipod when I was getting ready and the first line says “So we talked all about it, bout the rest of our lives. Where were gonna be when we turn 25...” Pause there, I had a mini crisis realizing that I was listening to that song going to my high school graduation and now I am 25. I am accepting the fact that I am old but I am grateful for everything I have at my old age...haha...and to still have such good friends. I love you all and am excited to hear about your adventures with the pants.
I am passing the pants on to Brooke as she starts school for her Master’s Degree I think she could use them to get her back into the swing of things and maybe to find a new man in Boise.

At Seven Peaks...my home away from home every summer :)
Melanie, Tania, and I at the Kenny Chesney concert. Oh and I think thats Kenny right below us...
Stephen, Brooke and I at Lagoon for my first time.
Brooke and I riding the Ferris Wheel from the movie Charly. It is in this great park called Liberty Park in SLC. That park is a little gem. It took us a little while to find the Ferris Wheel but it was so worth it. How magical!
Dede joined us for Saturday. We are at J Dawgs here and then we went to Park City and Thai Ruby for dinner. What a fun weekend! I'm so glad you guys came down to visit!
