Heber

We were able to head to Heber after our trip to Mexico, and ended up staying 2.5 weeks! We originally planned the trip for one of my best friend's wedding. Fortunately, she got married close to the 24th of July, which is a holiday in Utah. Her wedding was gorgeous. The sealing was beautiful and I was so happy I could be there with her. And SHE was the most gorgeous bride ever. We've been besties since 4th grade and I'm so happy for her!

We planned a mini "Jones family reunion" since it was a holiday and we'd all be there. (Besides Gav of course.) We went on a video scavenger hunt. (The whole family. We took up three cars.) We all went to the Demolition Derby together, and of course had some yummy meals. One thing that was really fun and rewarding was we did a "progressive service breakfast" for my grandparents that live in Heber. We traveled to the three homes and did yard work for my grandma's and then ate a part of our breakfast. It was fun, and I know they really appreciated us.

The next week I stayed to help my mom for a week with Kellen's youngest, Berklee. Drew and Luke came home for a few days so Drew could go to school, AND buy us a van! So exciting. I'm in love with it. It has made my life so much easier with the automatic doors, bluetooth, GPS, DVD player, and music controls. Sounds dumb but I never knew how much those things would help! Haha!

Some other highlights from the trip included: a hike/picnic at Provo river falls (a family favorite spot), MANY trip to Dairy Keen, the Hogle Zoo with Leesh and the kids, the carnival (we were there during Wasatch County Fair Days), watching Jaylee sing in the talent show, visiting with LOTS of friends, and game nights with my siblings.
 Luke picked me some flowers :)






Poor buddy got stung by a wasp in my parents' back yard. :(

 A week apart


















I was so happy to get to spend so much time in Heber. It was a beautiful two weeks. Perfect weather, I got to see many friends and visit many of my favorite places, and most importantly make lots of memories. Luke has the best memory and remembers so many little details about "Hever." Luckily we get to go back this weekend for Labor Day. It wont be long, but I need a Heber fix every now and then. Especially after spending so long there and remembering just how beautiful it is there. I love my home town!
