There are a whole lot of things that I had forgotten about summer time in Utah. Two summers in Alaska had left me only trying to remember the sun. But I have so enjoyed remembering Utah in the Summer time: the smell of lilacs and the flowering Russian olive tree, the way the cotton floats through the air and you cant help but inhale a few puffs, the sounds of crickets at night, going outside to get warmed up, bare feet, the feeling of a nice pink sunburn on your nose, the taste of cool fresh watermelon, and the incredible experience of a thunder and lightning storm! Here we are last Sunday by the Mount Timpanogos Temple (less than 2 minutes from our house) enjoying the sunset while surrounded by a beautiful thunder and lightning storm! I still giggle like a little girl when I watch one.
My friends and family call me a lot of things...Mandersen, Manders, Curly, Lou, Monkey, Amanda(only if you want to be in trouble with me), Mandy Elizabeth,etc. All of which came as substitutes for the fact that I am the only one in my family without a middle name. But the one that has withstood the test of the years is Mandy Lou Who! Then add my sweet husband, the one I strive daily to be worthy of and there you have it, instant blog title:)
