Busy Summer...Busy Fall

At the end of summer I thought for sure our busy schedule would start to die down, but I was wrong!! Between school, work, and trying to spend time with family and friends it seems like I don't have a chance to breathe some days! These past few weeks were busier than ever, but also the most fun. We started off our adventures by going to St. George with my family to watch Caroline run the marathon! It is her second one and she did so awesome with a time of 3 hours and 11 minutes (even though she got the swine flu just 3 weeks before the race!) It was so fun to be down there for Conference weekend. It reminded me of growing up--we went every October to watch my dad run the marathon. I think he had enjoyed watching his daughter do so well. She qualified for the Boston Marathon so we will all be going there in April to cheer her on!

From St. George, we all headed down to Lake Powell!! We had a great time, despite the COLD WEATHER! The water was warmer than the air so when you were wakeboarding it felt so good to fall...after 5 minutes your hands and feet started going numb but we all soldiered through and got some great water! Thank you Mom and Dad for letting us go :)

All bundled up on the boat!

Wakeboarding!

My mom cut off Dallin's head but it's still a cool picture...:)

The siblings

high school musical 4: the berry/cerva children (Dallin didn't quite make it...)

(...and then Kate sort of struggled. )

After four fun-filled days in Powell we headed home for Kate, Caroline, and me to get back to school and for everyone else to get back to work. Thursday and Friday were filled with midterms for me so I studied and studied morning until evening. Dallin and I had tickets to the Brand New concert Friday night but it was cancelled due to illness! Bummer...On Saturday morning we woke up bright and early to meet the Cerva's in Las Vegas!! We flew in about 8:30, ate a delicious breakfast at the beautiful Wynn Resort where we stayed, took Hailee and Savannah on the New York New York Roller Coaster (they road 3 times!), spent 6 hours at Fashion Show Mall shopping for Christmas Presents, went to a delicous Italian dinner, then headed to the 9:30 show of Beatles Love. It was so amazing! The Cerva's were so nice to fly us down to see the show--Dallin and I both love the Beatles so of course we had a blast. We got back to the hotel a little before midnight, woke up early Sunday morning to catch our flight to Salt Lake and by 10:30 in the morning we were home! We slept the rest of the day to recover from the past two weeks of crazy travel...We are so grateful to have such loving families who include us in these fun activities. Thank you!!! As for our lives currently, midterms are never ending for me, work is going well, Dallin is doing great at work and getting ready for school Winter semester! Love to you all!
