I'm tired of recaps - it's like when you get behind in your journal and then feel like you need to do a massive update so as to correctly record history, but then you don't want to write in journal because it will take to long. Can you tell I'm not much of a journal writer? Or like when you have a good friend you want to call, but you feel like if you do, it will be a three-hour phone conversation because it's been so long and who has that kind of time unless you're sixteen and talking to a boy you like? Of course, nobody is requiring me to do an update in my journal, stay on the phone for three hours when I call them or recap my entire summer on this blog - it's all in my mind. So, I'm going to ignore my mind and just throw out my favorite pics from July and August - here we go!
My cousin Devin got married at the beginning of July. Since all of the other pictures I have of Adam and I were taken with me extending my arm out with my camera, I thought I'd include one where that wasn't happening.
This is my cute grandma eating an ice cream cone at the wedding. She told me to delete this picture. How could I possibly?
This little guy and his mom and dad left us in mid-July. See the bottom of this post for a video of Tianna and her good friend Candace boxing it out the night before they left. After witnessing this, I will never challenge Tianna to a fight. It was a sad, sad morning when they left and I cried myself back to sleep (it was 5:30 AM). We miss you guys!
I consoled myself by forcing Adam to let me take a picture of him like this. This was after a Sunday afternoon nap and I couldn't let that hair go to waste. It's hard to tell but he's wearing a leather jacket. He's like a taller, brunette Billy Idol. Well maybe not Billy Idol but you know what I mean.
July was definitely a wedding month - shouldn't that be June? Nicole got married - woohoo! She was a beautiful bride and this was the first wedding I've ever been to where the groom's cake was an iPod. I should've taken a picture of that!
Since my birthday was on a Monday, we celebrated all weekend long....and into the next week. This picture was taken Saturday night at Sugar House Park - we had a picnic. Sunday, Adam's mom cooked an amazing dinner for me, Adam's dad, and Ben since we all have birthday within like a week and a half. It's an intense time in the Ard Family. Monday, Adam and I went to an amazing Italian restaurant and then...
This was taken on my actual birthday (August 24th - mark your calendars) as proof that I've really matured...
Still my actual birthday. This was what the sky looked like driving home - not to brag, but this was taken from a moving car. Can you see the penguin? I took it as a good omen for this next year of Jen. Penguins are lucky, right?
Hooray for extended birthday celebrations! I love celebrating for a week. We had a great time alienating the other restaurant patrons.

I was all into it this post until the penguin....I did not see the penguin. Does any one else see the penguin??? I mean, besides you, Jen? If Adam said he saw the penguin I think he was just being nice to you because it was your birthday. That is the problem with that cloud game - nobody sees anything the same way. Perhaps you could circle the penguin in photoshop and then repost it as an actual penguin picture so we could verify that you're not insane.
I didn't see the penguin.
I love the picture of grandma eating ice cream. That is one of those precious moments that can never be deleted.
You crack me up! Penguin? hmmm... I guess I had to be there. I don't see a penguin but I do see an old man with big ears... or maybe it's an elephant.
I picked up the penguin right away! It's on it's belly right in the middle of the picture. And thanks for the picture of Grandma. Totally her!! I loved it!
