Whenever I Run

Story time: So today as I was getting ready to go on my run I had an epiphany. Wouldn't it be cool if I took my camera with me running and snapped some neat/intense/cool pictures? I thought it would, so that's exactly what I did. Enjoy! Warning: Some pictures were taken while I was moving, so they may be a bit.....blurry/unable to identify.


Before I started my run, the view from my front porch!

This is for Rachel, as I was running up the hill to the temple, trying to breath, I heard music, and children giggling. I believe it was Rachel's AFY group dancing! I was so excited I had to snap a picture, and I did it while I was running hence the blurryness. While taking this picture I definitely felt like a paparazzi.
I had to stop for this one
The horrible uphill run to the temple, I took this picture before I felt like I was going to pass out from tiredness
I made it to the temple!! Yay! I absolutely love this picture and think it turned out really well
Ran up a little further to get a better picture
Decided to take a picture of the fields up by the temple
With flash :)

First attempt at trying to get a picture of myself with the temple in the background=failure
Second attempt at trying to get a picture with the temple in the background=success!
The trail I ran up to run around the very nice/new/beautiful houses
I ran past a bunch of new homes up by the temple and absolutely loved this one! I just love brick and think it looks so classy.
Another pretty home I ran by
Have you ever taken pictures of yourself while you are running? It is actually quite entertaining if you can't tell
I feel talented I can pull these faces off while trying to breath.
At this point cars that were passing me were probably wondering what all the flashing was
It's kind of scary running at night, it was right here by this light that a dog started running after me, I would have taken a picture of the dog, but I was trying to scare it away and didn't want to make it feel special by taking a picture of it. I'm glad there are these street lights so that I can see scary dogs coming after me.
Now time to put my feet up after a fun night/photo run :)

4th of July Weekend

Here are a few pictures from my Independence Day weekend. I spent it with friends and family and loved every minute of it!

I went to Idaho Falls with some friends to watch the Firework show and there was this boy band of 15 year olds singing wild thing, so obviously me and Rachel had to jam out.
The group before the show
Love hanging out with Rachel on the weekends, I will miss this girl!
Some of Rachel's fun AFY friends
Up at the farm with my family


It was a wonderful weekend, I am so grateful to live in this free country. I am seriously so blessed for all the blessings and opportunities available by living in this free country!
