Flowers, Gardens, and A Wedding

Finishing things up before summer's over. First of all, I added a picture of the Alamo in my last post but failed to mention that Jake and I went to San Antonio. This was our fourth time in Texas. I definitely liked San Antonio better than the other places in Texas, but I still have to say that Texas just isn't my favorite place. It was pretty in it's own way, but I'll take my mountains any day. And the heat...can't do it. But fun to visit and see the sites.

May brought Mothers Day.  A bitter sweet day for sure, but I'm trying to lean into the sweet.  Jake listened to my not so subtle hints and finally got me a beautiful bouquet of flowers.  The kids all came home at my request, and because it's Mothers Day and I can request anything they also did work.  We spent all morning working hard to get the garden back in shape.  It was a lot.  But they were troopers and worked hard.  I'm grateful!  And for dinner they made me amazing homemade guac.  It was so good.  They know me well.  I loved having everyone home.  

I got in my first car accident.  I don't recommend it.  Gratefully no one was hurt.  Sadly, my car was totaled.  Days before we were supposed to trade it in for a new car.  But then we ended up getting a lot more from our insurance than we would have gotten from the dealer, so in a weird way it worked out.  I just hope the same can be said for the other driver. 

We ended the month with the wedding of my good friend Audrey's son.  My kids have grown up  with this family, so it was so fun to spend the day celebrating!  The day before a few of us gathered to put together some charcuterie cups and cut up fruit.  It was so fun to gather before the big day.  And I'm so grateful Audrey's done a wedding so she can help me some day.

At the wedding.  So glad Zack came!

Took a couple of months to get but glad it's here!

Went up to Strawberry one night for some fishing

We put 100 of these together for the wedding!

Jake went on a fishing trip, so Sage and I went to the temple and then to her favorite place, Texas Roadhouse
