Pioneer Day
I don't even remember celebrating Pioneer Day... I kind of forgot it was a holiday until this year. One, because our friend has a big BBQ every 24th of July that we were invited to. And two, because I am reading a book about the pioneers. This book is about the Willie and Martin Handcart companies. I am only about 200 pages in, but it is incredible. I haven't even read about the hardest parts yet, and am still amazed at what they had to do. It's books like these that make me think I have it easy. I remember in high school, in the winter time, when I had to walk from the parking lot to the front doors in the snow, I would always think, "I can do this. The pioneers did this for months!" Haha. Embarrassing, I know. I told my family that once and they made fun of me. Oh well, that is how I felt. I think God knew I wouldn't be able to do what the pioneers did, so he waited to bring me to earth a few years later. :) Anyway, back to the pioneers. After family dinner on Sunday, my parents told us stories about pioneers in our family. They told neat stories, that I had never heard, about our great ancestors. I am grateful for those family members that worked so hard to be a part of the church.
Monday afternoon Jesse and I went to The Gateway to the Apple store to get him a new iPhone. First of all, I love that store. But it is so bad for me to be in there because all I want to do is buy new things for all my electronics. Second of all, never go to the Apple store on a Utah holiday. It was so busy! We then got ourselves some smoothies and headed to Cade's house. Like I said, Cade invited us to his family barbecue and pool party. I thought it was just a small get together with people I already knew... boy, was I wrong! There were at least ninety people there! It was crazy. There was so much delicious food, children swimming in the pool, everyone talking and laughing, a fire dancer performance, and fire works. Jesse and I love spending time with Cade and his other friends because there is never a dull moment. So, you can imagine how fun this night was. Thanks to Cade, his parents, and family for inviting us and making us feel welcome!
