Lovin it in Utah

My "Utah" Man.

Over the 24th of July weekend, my family had our Lovin Reunion! My grandparents, aunts & uncles, and cousins all drove up here to Utah to have some fun. On the 24th of July, my Dad, Lindsay, Paige, Ethan, Aunt Julie, Uncle Randy, Uncle Darren, and cousins Natalie and Blake, and I ran the Deseret News 5k! It was such an adrenaline rush running along the parade route with tons of people cheering for you (or for the 5 year old boy running next to me). Dan was helping his brothers install a sprinkler system that morning. He is always willing to lend a hand, he is such a trooper. Later that night, Dan and I went over to my parents' house to light fireworks. My Dad hung a sheet up in the backyard to project a movie to make our own little theatre. We watched "Forever Strong" about Highland High School's Rugby team. Being an alumni of Highland High, it was pretty cool to see a film about one of our sports teams. It was a great weekend, and I am so happy we got to spend time with the good ol' Lovin Clan!

Harry Potter Date Night

Last week, Dan and I went and saw the new Harry Potter movie opening night!! Dan was able to get tickets to a private screening from attending a computer software seminar. He knew I had been looking forward to this movie for months, and he was so sweet to take time off work to go to the seminar so we could see it. He is such a good husband! At the theatre, there was a huge Harry Potter costume contest. There were tons of people dressed up as witches and wizards doing magic tricks and talking in British accents, it was awesome! And the movie...amazing!! Absolutely loved it! Can't wait for the next two movies!! (Yes, I am a huge Harry Potter fan). Thanks Dan for a great night, you are the best husband ever!
