West Mountain




So if you haven't noticed I've been taking a lot more photos of myself recently and that's because I convinced Ryan to actually go out to different locations and take some photos for me. For a while he was really interested in photography (when he was taking a photography class) but soon after he finished the class that interest just fell off the face of the Earth. I still have to remind him to consider the composition of the photos he's taking and he doesn't really know what to do when he has tricky lighting, but it's working (I think)...






Reservoir




I found my new favorite place in Utah County. It's a reservoir up American Fork Canyon and it's so beautiful. I can't wait to go up again and spend the day there. Also, Fall is coming so I'm really excited for changing tree colors and dressing in warm comfortable clothes. Although this does mean that I need to restock up on leggings and stockings. I love this season!







Lantern Festival





A week ago we attended the Salt Lake City Lantern Festival with a couple of friends. We had attended a lantern festival last year in Las Vegas, which was a lot bigger so the views were more magical but the traffic was wayyyyyyyy better and we were stuck in a desert for hours. I wonder if it was the same company that did the Vegas festival but they rebranded since the festival in Las Vegas had a lot of mixed reviews. We had such a great time with our friends though and it was still fun to light the lanterns. I had a friend pass away recently this year and it meant a lot to be able to light a lantern with her and her family in mind. It was rather a spiritual and meaningful moment. I hope that throughout my life I'll be able to have many of those moments. Here goes to hopes, dreams, and wishes being fulfilled for years to come.









Utah State Fair




We recently went to the Utah State Fair with some friends and their children. We try to go every year to see the animals and the rodeo. This year there were five more kids compared to last year so it was quite the adventure, but it's always so great to see them excited about the animals and to see Ryan excited about the vegetables. Ryan and I went around by ourselves for a while take pictures around the fair. I'm excited that Fall has started in Utah. It's my favorite season and there's always so much to do around here!
