New! (York)

I am definitely new to this idea of blogging but I kind of have always wanted one and I feel like this is the perfect time to start since I am moving to New York!

Since I am leaving for New York in the Morning I actually don't have anything to say about it yet. Except that I am very excited and that I am going to miss my friends and family in Utah SO SO SO much!

I've been busy running around trying to fit in all the fun Summer things before I leave. Here is a summary of just one!

Me and Kara have wanted to swim in the Great Salt Lake since forever. We knew that we needed to act fast because I was leaving and then it would be put off until another summer.. So we went! And despite all the warnings we had a fantastic time. Seriously!! Yes the things people said were true; bugs attack and there is a slight stench. We found that on Antelope Island it didn't smell and the closer you got to the water the less the bugs attacked!

jumping for joy!

Me and Kara. I'm going to miss this girl!

The Salt Lake was surprisingly cold but after a couple of fake out we both went in. After the initial shock wore off I discovered all the new ways I could float. My favorite was lounging in the water so effortlessly and still having my head above the water.

I also spent my last days in Utah (for awhile) going to the pool, hitting up my favorite places to eat, (J-dawgs - I'm obsessed, Cafe Rio) and spending time with the friends. I went on a amazing hike up to Stewart Falls that included climbing Glaciers and exploring the snow left from avalanches and had a fun family party that included my favorite walk to the poppies. I also got the chance to spend more time with my favorite little niece Ruby and teach her a thing or two about swimming. Utah has been good to me and it will be missed!
