Jase & Kristen: July 2014

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ALMOST AUGUST! Summer is FLYING by and it's bitter sweet. I am SO done with the heat....but summer always brings lots of fun festivities!

Here's a little re-cap on the last little bit:

4th of July weekend we headed up to northern Utah. On the 4th we woke up and went to breakfast at Layton Park, then headed to float the Weber River, came home and cleaned up and headed back to the park for the fireworks! I love this holiday SO SO much!

Saturday we did some shopping at Station Park in Farmington (Ohhhhhh how I miss northern Utah shopping) then we headed to Taggart's Grill and it was SO tasty! If you haven't been there....you are missing out on some amazing food! We were able to go with my parents, Shay and Nick, and our good family friends, the Fry's. It was a lot of fun. Sunday we headed back down to the blazing heat in southern Utah.

So apparently Jase and I are hikers now! I was at work on a Friday and I get a text from Jase saying "Want to hike angels landing tomorrow?" I ABOUT DIED! He hates hiking. Quickly after that text he said "or Three Falls" (Much easier/shorter). Anyways, I thought "why not? That'd be fun!" We live in such a beautiful place and I hate to admit it, but I definitely don't take advantage of it very often.

We packed a lunch and headed to Three Falls the next day. There wasn't a drip of water in the falls so we decided to hike straight up them instead of taking the side path. Not my most favorite decision we have ever made.

My short little legs aren't made for 'rock climbing'. Jase would go ahead of me and tell me where to put my feet and hands but about halfway up I got STUCK! My right leg was up and I was standing on my tip toes on my left. I COULD NOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME push off or pull myself up. Jase grabbed my hand and told me to let him pull me up. So I did. BUT the second he lifted me up I was in the MOST AWKWARD position and began to panic. My heart was beating so fast, I literally thought I was going to have a panic attack. Seriously my hands started sweating and I'm pretty sure I shed a few tears. I HAD to let go of Jase in order to secure myself and untangle my body from this awkward position but I thought for sure if I let go, I would fall and it would have been BAD news. Even Jase was worried for a second. He was gripping my hand SO HARD and just kept telling me it was going to be okay. What a good husband!!

Anyways, obviously I made it out of there alive....but it was seriously so scary. Moral of the story.... If you have short legs like me, you should probably take the trail instead of climbing the falls if you ever go do this hike! You will feel a lot safer!

The next day we got an invite from Kylynn and Taylor to go hike Kannaraville Falls! I'm so glad they invited us, it was such a cool hike! I want to go back and do it again! It was so pretty!
