Jace of course out shown us all

We all looked like this at some point

Yes, I made it across the wake!!

She survived!!




I had to post one of Mark crashing

Overwhelmed

To a degree I realize I am a control freak. I don't know why. One day maybe I'll sit down and try to figure out how it came about. I hate psychology. So lets face it that may never happen. I do know at least one problem with being a control freak. I know there are multiple. But like I said I hate psychology and don't want to analyze them all. This one problem you ask? It's easy to get overwhelmed. I like lists--shocking I know. I like to be able to sit down, write everything I need to do, then imagine the perfect to get it done. What's funny, my plans never work out how they should. New tasks come up. I underestimate the amount of sleep I need. Things take longer than they should. I just get overwhelmed. Nothing new. And in all reality I'm not as busy as half the people I know. I have half of their responsibilities. So I just suck it up and somehow try to get it all done. The last few weeks have been just like that. The control freak within me has taken over dying to get it all done. Not only done. But done in the way I think it should be. One day, I doubt it, but one day I hope to find the balance between passion and practicality. To avoid the nervous break downs and go back to the basics. This is nothing new. I've been this way forever. But was is new is realizing how many people actually care. They care when I get to my breaking point. They care enough to listen to me rant, hug me when I need it, and wipe the tears away. I have so many people who care its amazing. Sometimes I simply need a reminder of it. Hahaha cause as much as control freaks want it. Nothing is really under control.

Tetons

Breaks from life are essential. This weekend was one of those. After running full speed all week--including working a beasty Labor Day weekend--I needed time to chill. Of course some of the best people to do that with are Mark and Jace. So Mark grabbed a friend and we headed to Jackson Hole, WY. I love how gorgeous it is up there. The best part--I got a taste of fall! It's just right around the corner and the thought couldn't make me happier.

Jace, Mark, Heather, & I hiked up to Jenny Lake with Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point along the way. Spring Lake was also eventful as I watched the 3 crazy people jump in the cold water. Sleep, camping, crazy people, gorgeous views, and plenty of time for pictures. I loved it. Oh now back to reality. Pictures always say a thousand words. Much better than I can at least.

Lions

Some musicals are bizarre. Others are fantastic. The other night Mark & I went up to SLC to watch the LION KING. The best parts were the costumes and Rafiki. Over the top and amazing at the same time. I loved the music and were fascinated by the costume designs. I thoroughly enjoyed it and cant wait to see it again. Plus I got to spend the evening with my brother for some bonding time.

Mayer

Jace has a thing for concerts. Turns out. So do I :D So he took me to see John Mayer. I loved it! John is one of those rare artists now that is better in person than on CD. He has a blast on stage and gets everyone else involved. Plus He's an amazing guitar player. We got such a kick out of the concert and thoroughly enjoyed watching him hop around on stage. A night snuggled up with Jace and great music, what more could a girl ask for.
