Weekend 06/25

We had a pretty descent weekend this week. On Friday, we got free tickets to Real Salt Lake game. The game was a little slow and ended with a tie 0-0 for RSL and San Jose Earthquake. However, RSL had a goal but was called offside so they didn't count it.

2nd period


On Saturday, I made Brett wake up super early to go see the Lunar Partial Eclipse at 5 in the morning. It was interesting to see full moon then it got partially cover. It didn't look that much different than usual.

We got home after 6 and went back to sleep, Brett didn't wake up until noon while I went out and did some shopping, hehe. After that the day did got a little crappy. Oh well, we then decided to go on a little walk around Silver Lake in Brighton. Yes, we love this place :)



It took us an hour or less to make it around the lake. I was the one the holding us off because I would just take picture of everything I see.



Not sure what this plant is but it's pretty



Wild flowers


Funny bird, first of all he didn't fly away as we walked by. Then, when I took a picture of him he would stare at the camera then went back to the chirping business.



I'm so glad we made it up here. It felt great, the weather was nice the scenic drive was just beautiful. Great way to start the week.

First day of Summer

It's official, today is the first day of summer. I'm way excited for the weather to be nice and warm. That means hinking, camping, whitewater rafting, roadtriping, all of the fun that we cant do when it's cold.

We will have blog more about our fun too. These are some of the pictures from last year.
Our scenic drive to SnowBasin Resort


Our trip to Silver Lake was somewhat spontaneous. As we walked on the trail, we were brutally attacked by bugs, the blood sucker ones. Grrhh, next time we'll be more prepared for sure.



So peaceful



I have deeply fallen in love with the blue sky, the green mountain, and this man :)

And me


And my hubby, can't you tell that he just love taking pictures? Oh, my poor little one has to put up with my photography obsessions :)



This pic remimds me of Portland, we'll be there for July 4th weekend to visit my relatives. Don't forget to check back then for pictures and updates :)



There's something about wild flowers that I just adore... I actually have a whole album of them when we went hiking in the little cottonwood. Will post them soon as well :)

Unpleasant Friday

Today is not a typical Friday for me. The reason is that I spent my morning at St. Mark's Hospital for a surgery instead of being at work. Now, I'm so bored waiting for my honey to get home from Smith's instead of work. Brett had been working from home these past few days, and he took today off to take care of me, hehe. He's so good to me. Ahh, i just love my hubby so much.



I had my first surgery ever today. I've been healthy until now. I guess this happens when you get older. Also, knock on wood that I will never break a bone neither. I was extremely nervous and it made me sick to my tummy... Not a pleasent feeling.

The whole time I was afraid to feel myself being cut open; however, thanks to the anesthesia (so proud to spell this word correctly without looking it up) I didn't feel a single thing. The only thing I remember was laying there listening to the Kelly Clarkson song "Already Gone" playing on the radio.

I woke up almost 2 hours later; apparently Brett said I'm a slow poke haha. I was cold, very sleepy, and loopey from the drug but could feel a sharp pain in my arm where they operated. The nurse then injected more pain killer into my IV. I didn't like the burning feel of that procedure, but I like how effective it was because the pain disappeared just a few seconds after that. Then, she gave me some crackers and grape juice so I could take the pain killer pill that would help me feel better for the next 6 hours.

It totally did a good job of keeping me from pain. I'm all good now and able to blog this not so pleasant event, haha :) What a special and not so fun Friday for me! Still, I'm so excited for tomorrow to start so I could do fun stuff with my hubby.
