Summer Vacation

Wow been so long since last time I posted something!!! but last month of summer was crazy busy!! SUMMER VACATION! :) me and my husband had the whole month off to travel and visit family. I did a Triathlon!! the swimming part of it but still did a triathlon as a team! so much fun I was soo nervous waiting for my turn to hop into the pool. I didnt train at all 30 lengths pft no big deal it was kind of hard but even without training my time was still up with those fast people! 17minutes it took me to swim. Not bad at all! : D


so happy my husband came out to cheer me on he's amazing!

Then I did the most exhausting thing mentally and physically ever!! I did a 40km hike in 3 days, 1st day we did half the hike 20km! 2nd day 14, 3rd day 6km! so hard! first night rained all night couple hours of sleep so sore the next morning! 2nd night I couldn't move without being in pain it was awful! Allan (my husband) asks me "why dont you switch to your stomach to sleep?" my response, "I would if I could MOVE!" haha it even snowed a little bit! saw a bear scared the jeebers out of me! it was a great time just me and husband in the wilderness enjoying nature. Great time with him :) after the hike we got to soak in the Miette hot springs felt soo good got a few looks with my limping and cringing at the pain. I am going to do that hike again next summer!



me half way through the hike :)


We went to the calgary zoo waited in line for at least an hour just to see the penguins! but they were pretty cool even if they didn't do anything other then lay on rocks..here's a few pictures...












Visited my family and did tons with them went to Writing on Stone Provincial Park and Waterton National Park and did Bertha Falls hike. 


Recently I just did the Walk for Muscular Dystrophy with my hubby and in laws. Very important to us that we support our families and loved ones. Oh yes and for those who didn't know just yet I recently got called to be Young Womens Beehive Advisor :) I teach girls ages 12 and 13. They are amazing girls not afraid to share experiences they've had it is so nice to have girls talk alot, I know when I was in Y.W. my group either didn't pay attention or just never talked haha. The leaders whom I serve with are amazing women and super nice! 

Not sure what else to talk about?? oh ya I got the opportunity to teach 2 classes of parent & tot. these are parents with their child either 1yrs old or younger. It was hard to teach it but i had alot of fun doing it! plus my boss gave me some advice of how to teach the parents even! I did a very good job teaching my very first parent and tot class. I feel accomplished 

2 more days and my husband will be home. Again he is gone but this time it hasn't been that hard, yes I still miss him so much but guess i'm finally getting used to it. This week I caught a nasty cold spent days taking drugs to help, called in sick to work for a shift which sucked. I'M ALL BETTER NOW! YAY!! 

16 days, 1 more shift for hubby and we are going on another vacation!! :) Going to go hike the grand canyon and probably camp there too. Plus travel around the states and thinking if a place we go to has a temple we will do a session! so that means Salt Lake City Temple, Las Vegas Temple and some other ones as well :) it will be so much fun. I made reservations to the Calgary Temple Open HOUSE!!! sooo excited for it!

I think I've said enough for this post stay tuned I'm going to try and post something at least every couple of weeks and share more pictures too :) hope ya'll enjoy my blog!
