August - Month in Numbers

Here is my month in numbers for August...it has been such a wonderful month!

3 ... the number of guests we had stay at our house for a one week get away!  Sweet Katie, DeeAura, and Bethany were all such fun house guests and we enjoyed having them here.  Katie and I used to work together for Ken Garff- we were part of the Keys to Success program which gave away cars to lucky high school students across northern Utah.  SUCH a great program to have a chance to be a part of!  Anyway, here is a photo of Katie and I at the swap meet!

7 - the number of cups Mike & I painted as a fun crafty family night.  We have been wanting to do something crafty lately and when I saw this project on Pinterest I knew it was the one!  (By the way, we did have a set of 8 cups, but I broke one.  Fail.)

4 - and you'll hate me for this one... But FOUR is the number of beautiful beaches we were blessed to spend time at in August.  I absolutely love being at the beach.  When people tell me they couldn't live on Hawaii because it's a small island and they would get island fever I just stare at them in confusion.  There are many reasons to not want to live in Hawaii I can assure you, but feeling "trapped" is surely not one of them.  Nothing is more freeing than standing on the beach and staring out into the vast ocean.  It is a truly amazing experience.

Barbers Point for Mike's work party

Enjoying a sunset in Waikiki.  We went to meet a co-worker of Mike's for his Birthday and he was celebrating on Waikiki Beach.  It was an AMAZING sunset!

A romantic night with my best friend at Bellows Beach.  The water was PERFECT (and believe me, Mike won't get in the water if it's less than the temperature of his bathwater... that big baby!)  We had a blast boogie boarding and being on the beach together.  

And finally, Hickam Beach!  These are two of my favorite ladies ... Rachel and Tasha!  We are about to hit the waves on our paddleboards.  We took turns, Mike and Parker stayed back with baby Paisley and then once we came in the boys hit the surf!  Great times, and an absolutely GORGEOUS day!  

30 -The number of toes that got pampered for a wonderful girls day out together! Tasha, Rachel and I went to get pedicures downtown. 

28 - 6 The score of the first BYU game of the season!  Yes, the cougars met Washington State for their first game and blew them out of the water!  It was such a fun game to watch, I have been so excited for football season to start, and it is finally upon us!  It is like Christmas to me.  Spending Saturday watching games is just about my dream day.  GO MORMON COUGARS!  Oh, and roll tide. That's for Mike : ) 

There you go, my month in numbers!  We are just trying to live every day to it's fullest and get the most out of life.  That's what were here for. : )
