Summer 2013 is Here!


Hooray! Love the summertime! We know it is official when the pool is open and by Sunday night we are both exhausted. No joke we were in bed watching a movie before 10pm last night, the sun was still shining. After a full weekend of biking, weekend warrior projects around the house and swimming we were tired. Laying by the pool is exhausting.
End of May was fun we made it back to MN for a wedding shower and got to spend lots of time with family. Lots of family from both Brendan's side were in town and my family had a belated birthday get together as well. I will try uploading some more pictures up here from the weekend. It went fast and next thing we knew we were back home in Utah.
Brendan got his birthday present a little bit early this year and got himself a road bike as well. Our weekends and some week nights have been taking our bikes out for rides. We have a great nice flat ride by our house that is just short of 12 miles, perfect for a quick ride. Hopefully as the summer goes on we will keep finding more great trails.
One of my hobbies for 2013 was gardening and so far it is a semi success. I can't tell quite yet but I am maybe starting to get some tomatoes and strawberries. Certain plants are thriving in the front of the house and others not so much. Its tough because of our higher elevation I think that even plants that are only partial sun and only get partial sun can't handle the strength of the sun for the shorter period of time. I might just have to buy full sun for everything. All is well and summer is divine!

Love,
Alyssa and Brendan
