Sarah's visit!

It's hard to believe that the far-out, crazy plans we started to make in the middle of our senior year actually happened. 

Having been best friends with Sarah since kindergarten, if there is one thing I can tell you about our friendship, its that we have some crazy dreams. Day trips to New Orleans and Birmingham? On the list. Open a cake stand at the farmers' market? It was a serious consideration. Site-see in Sand Fransisco? One day. (That one will happen.)

So when I told her that I would be attending BYU beginning in the summer term, the dreaming planning began. 

I'm so glad I got to see this girl before she started off to Orlando. I am so incredibly grateful for the continual love, support, and friendship she has given me. And I'm so glad I have the memories from that weekend forever! 

I picked Sarah up from the airport on Thursday and we spent the day exploring Salt Lake. We got lunch at the CUTEST little bakery ever. It was delicious, and we loved doing what we do best...eating trying new foods!

Hiking: The Y

BYU is in a bowl. 
And the walls of said bowl are made of mountains. 
It is (still) quite a shock for this Florida girl to wake up and see this every morning.

Anyways.....
The mountain directly East of campus has been named 'Y' mountain because, well, there is a 'Y' on it. Looks like this:

Yes. Those black dots are people.

Hiking: Stewart Falls

A huge group of kids from Heritage Halls decided to go and hike Stewart Falls and were kind enough to invite me and two roommates, Shaylee and Montana, along! It was super fun and we had a great time!

Hiking: Mount Timpanogos

Not going to lie, this hike was one of the hardest things I have ever done. E v e r. 
But it was so worth it. 

Here are some of the facts:

• Total Elevation: 11,695 ft
• Distance: 16 miles round trip
• Water Consumption: 7 bottles
• Start time: 5 am
• Mountain View from the summit: totally worth it. 

Annnnnd now for a TON of pictures....

(Oh and I went with the Jubecks and a few of their family members! Super fun group!)

Hiking: Bridal Veil Falls

One of the first hikes I went on when I got to Utah was Bridal Veil Falls! I got to go with Jubecks and it was super fun. And just beautiful!
