An ode to summer

I love summer and it never seems to disappoint. Here are a look at the past few summers we have enjoyed together:

2006:

Tony and I met and began dating in the fall of 2005. In the summer of 2006, I drove out with Tony to Portland for my first visit there. It was my first time in Oregon and I loved it! I stayed with Tony's sister Amy for a few days, and with my friend and roommate Rosie for a bit in McMinnville. We took a trip to Salem and the coast, and celebrated the fourth of July with fireworks in front of Amy's house in Portland.

2007:
The summer of 2007 was my family's last summer in Texas before they moved to Michigan. I love San Antonio and couldn't miss an opportunity to show Tony my hometown. We had a great time (although Tony was very HOT the whole trip) seeing the sights of downtown and spending his birthday at Six Flags Fiesta Texas.

At the end of the summer I flew out to Portland for another trip there. I had a great time with Tony and we went back to Cannon beach for a day. At the end of the trip we drove back to Utah together.

2008:
For Tony's birthday in 2008, we had a BBQ at his place in Provo. With Tony's birthday on June 1st we are always able to have great parties.
I spent the summer of 2008 traveling quite a bit. I went to Southern California to be with one of my best friends, Mindy. We had a BBQ on the beach, did plenty of shopping, and just soaked up the sun.
The best travels of 2008 had to be my family vacation to Venice, Italy. It was the best trip I've ever been on. We cruised out of Venice to Croatia, Turkey, and Greece. It was awesome!!

2009:
I kicked off the summer of 2009 with a graduation from BYU! Right after that I had to head to California for a summer internship. Tony helped me drive to California and we had a good little trip.
Tony came back to California to visit for his birthday. We spent the day at Disneyland and had an absolute blast. This is my favorite trip we have ever taken together.
The summer of 2009 ended with a bang! I flew from California to Portland for the 4th of July weekend and Tony proposed!

Here's to a great summer of 2010 and many many more to come :)
