I love Utah summers. I grew up in Virginia, dreading everything about summer except that there was no school. Summers were hot, humid, and buggy aka sweaty, frizzy-haired, and itchy. Now don't get me wrong, Virginia is absolutely gorgeous during the summer, but I preferred to enjoy the greenery looking out my house or car windows, or from the middle of our swimming pool.
Utah on the other hand, is not as green, but is beautiful in it's own mountainy, deserty way. I just love that there is pretty much zero humidity, and I don't get 50 mosquito bites on one leg after sitting by a body of water for more than five minutes. There are so many outdoor activities to do! Hiking, camping, rock climbing, etc. and all within a few minutes from where we live! It's the best!
A few weeks ago we went rock climbing with my Dad. Matt and I have gotten into rock climbing over the last year or so. It's a great hobby that we both love and can do at our own speed. We finally gave up running together because I prefer a slow and steady wins the race (or comes in last, whatever) pace/exercise to check it off the list, where Matt likes to really push himself and get better and better (probably the better of the two haha). Needless to say, we don't really run together anymore. So, climbing is perfect for us! It's a great workout where we can push ourselves at our own pace! Perfect combination!
I actually climbed too, but no one took pictures of me haha
