Over the Summer...


We have had a BUSY summer! We had two family weddings; first Chris and Emily on June 25th and then Cardin and Mitch on August 6th. All 5 of the Cullimore kids are now married and we are SO happy to have Emily and Mitch as new additions to the clan!


I forgot to take my camera with me at Cardin and Mitch's wedding so we'll have to get one and post it later.

We also hiked Timpanogos this summer (and I'm not talking about the paved path to the caves...I'm talking about the back way to the very top). This is something we've wanted to do for awhile and were so glad to do it this year. We went with a friend from Carson's work and a friend from mine. We started at about 5:30 am. Now, I'm not much of a hiker so I was sort of hesitant but I LOVED it! It was a pretty grueling hike (I believe about 14 miles up and down) but it was SO worth it! It was so beautiful! My friend kinda had a hard time, as I said it was a pretty grueling hike. So I stayed back with her and we weren't quite able to make it to "the saddle" as they call it which is on top of the mountain but I guess not the very top as there's a peak or summit that is technically the top. Carson made it to the "Saddle" and reported a breathtaking view. His friend went on to tackle the summit and Carson decided to stay back at the saddle (not to discredit Carson....the trail to the summit was pretty scary and he was already at the top) The hike completely wore us out though :) but was so worth it. We'll most definitely do it again.

Among all that, we've been doing things to get ready for our programs....I never realized how much there is to do! We're almost there. School starts in just a week for me and two for Carson!
