One thing that I love about life is that no matter how old you get, you still regularly experience "firsts". Over the past few weeks, I had my first drink from a whole coconut (worthy of a theme party, I think!)..

Saw my first 3d movie (not too bad, though sometimes my eyes felt a little boggled)..

and randomly joined a slip-and-slip party with a bunch of strangers at a park (how can you resist after a good run with a friend??)

August was full of a few not-so-much firsts as well. Three baby showers (if only I could count the money I have spent by now on other people's babies. You all owe me, by the way!)

Helping friends move..

picking up after storms (though this doesn't happen nearly as often since I moved to the mild state of Utah!),

And harvesting nice flowers from my garden.
A few other highlights..

Helping the kids get ready for school at the Dream Center..

Another inter-church bbq for the Christian community in Salt lake..

Attending free concerts in downtown Salt Lake..

And mountain biking up in Park City..

Summer seems to be coming to a close soon. Already the days are getting shorter and the mornings cooler. Looking foward to seeing what new things September holds!
