Play...

Soccer.
My nieces play for the H.C. Storm Soccer Club. 
Center Forward/Midfielder positions.
They have so much talent on the field. I love watching them play and score goals. 
They dominate.
Cora Lynn.
She prefers the chip-shot. 
It's killer.
And Fatima.
She likes to keep it Low and Fast. 

I'm so proud of my adorable nieces!

September 14, 2011.
Our four year wedding anniversary.
Four letters.
Blake wrote me a letter for each year of our marriage. It was so sweet of him.
Our evening was low-key, and although we debated on going to a really fancy restaurant, our most favorite place sounded so much more delicious. 
We went to India Palace.
So amazing.
After dinner, we went on a moonlit lift ride up Sundance ski resort. 
It was beautiful and so relaxing. The perfect end to the day.
I can't get over how quickly time flies.
Meeting Blake just two days after my 19th birthday is still so clearly written in my memory.
I remember exactly what he was wearing, as well as what he was doing. 
Now, going on 7 years later, I am so blessed with the wonderful life and marriage we have. 
We've grown and changed so much together, and continue to do so every day.
I'm looking forward to many more years to come.
Happy Anniversary, Husband.
It's the best day of the Year.
Love You.
-Jess.

Labor Day Hike.

Blake, Indiana, and I hiked up Battle Creek Falls today.
The trail is located on the front side of Mount Timpanogos, near Pleasant Grove.
It's a .5 mile hike to the falls, and just under 7.5 if you hike the whole thing. We hiked a good portion of the trail, but didn't have enough time to go the entire way. We're planning on going back when we can really take our time and enjoy ourselves. 
Today was absolutely beautiful and the temperatures were perfect. As we hiked, we were able to feel the cool spray from the rushing river slowly float up and hang over the trail.
It was serene. That's the only way I can describe how it felt. 
There are so many local hikes, so many local activities, that we just don't know about.
My goal is for Blake and I to get out and experience what is around us. Unfortunately, between school and work, there really isn't much time for traveling this fall season. I still want to go. I want to see, do, play, explore. I stress everyday. I need a break from that as often as possible. 
We're planning to raft down the Provo River soon. We're both very excited.
I hope you had a great Labor Day. 
And I hope you didn't labor all that much.
-Jess.
