sunday afternoon i was lucky enough to be able to pick up yourdanos (your-dan-os) from military training. he spent the last two weeks in arkansas, wakin up at the crack of dawn, blowing up things, jumping out of planes....ya know military stuff, while i continued to enjoy my casual summer working at redbutte gardens and nannying my favorite kiddies. i must say that i have major respect for yourdanos and anyone else who is a part of the military. it sounds like hard work and call me a baby but i could not do what they do.
it is always fun seeing him, especially since this summer we have been doing the long distance thing. he has been living l.a and i have been living in salt lake, both of us doing internships. long distance relationships are definitely not ideal but they are good in a sense because it really helps you to appreciate the other person. it kind of makes the relationship exciting even though the time a part is hard. i really can't complain though because we have managed to see each other every couple of weeks and i have been able to takes some awesome trips to l.a this summer!
after picking him up, i brought him to my house where he stayed until tuesday. we both came back and took naps, then woke up to my momma's cookin. she made salmon with mango salsa on top. afterwards we watched a few episodes of suits. my dad and i have been t.v junkies this summer. we should probably take it easy. we have already finished 2 seasons of persons of interest, half a season of nashville and we have almost finished the first season of suits. we're sick.
however the funnest part of the evening was defintely when we took a sunday drive at the perfect time the sun was going down. we didn't even mean to time it this way. we had just watched three episode of suits and thought we needed to take a break and do something else. unfortunately there wasn't anyone around to snap a photo of us to we had to take them ourselves but we did the best we could. i tried to take some pics of the actual sunset, but my camera didn't quite capture how beautiful it really was.
