Every year in the great city of provo is a HUGE celebration for the fourth of july. It is called the freedom festival. It consists of parades, booths, fireworks, stadium of fire and of course the balloon festival. It starts at 6am and lasts a few hours but is so beautiful. They send up about 15 balloons in one field. It is littered with people and onlookers. What a sight.

It was my in-laws anniversary a while back. We asked what they wanted to do or wanted from us to celebrate. They told us they wanted us to come ride the tram at sundance. Easy celebration that is for sure. So we went. It was beautiful, cold at the top but so fun.

A few months back I took a trip for the weekend to escape with my husband. We chose to go to Washington D.C. since neither one of us had been there. I love that city, it was so pretty and relaxed. It was nice to absorb all my country's history and of course to have some time away from work. Here is all the beautiful things I saw there.

Alright, so my sister got married on friday. I didn't photograph her wedding for her, but I couldn't resist the chance to take a few shots myself. So after standing in the heat most of the day, putting on my cheeser smile for about 2 hours and helping to get ready.. this is the wonderful goodies I found. Enjoy!
