Summer Lovin'

HAD ME A BLAST!

I can't believe we're into the middle of August. Where has the summer gone?

I will say that I have made use of every sun lit minute since Memorial weekend and Duck Beach. 

This summer of fun will have to be several posts of their own since I have many pictures and stories that will most likely be turned into bullet points.

But until then, just know.......

MELANOMA MADNESS 
NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD!

 

And just a few videos to show you the tricks I was getting these guys to do for me.

"i can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun
you know your walking real slow
smiling at everyone.....

....i can tell you
my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone."
Don Henley-Boys of Summer

UPDATE: I got my answer

For those of you wondering the results of last nights test (and there have been many-xoxo), everything went well.  And I quote "you have very healthy vocal chords!"   "why thank you kind lady!"

So no nodules.  Turns out.....the problem I am having is a direct result of my laziness.  Not even kidding. For years, and I mean YEARS I have been avoiding singing soprano, which technically I am and should be singing.  Instead I have sung alto because, well, it's just easier for me.

At this point I kind of wish I had nodules. One little surgery and fixed.
Instead, I have to do all these warm ups and exercises....and you all know how much I love exercising.

I have to go back to my new Speech Pathologist doctor a few more times and correct the bad habits of laziness I have created.

Oh and I have to relax. Slow down. Take it easy. And get massages often........yea, that's all gonna be tough.


So thank you all for your love and thoughts and prayers and texts and calls and dinner dates and car rides etc.  I have the best love constantly coming my way, and I thank you ALL for that!
Well, minus you. But YOU, yea, I feel your love.  ;)

Time for answers

I went for a drive tonight to clear my head and to do some thinking. There's just something about open fields, seeing the big picture (view of all of Salt Lake-my favorite) and an amazing sunset hitting the East Mountains that works every time. Sadly, I ended up in Magna which could have been a bad sign of reflection.
I'm getting scoped tomorrow to see what problems I may have caused to my throat and vocal chords over the years.
I won't lie, I've been nervous about this for over 4 months and if I've learned anything from my cancer experience it's this: when in doubt, get it checked out.
So please keep me in your thoughts and send good vibes my way as you are all heading home for the day.

Good thing is, things can only go up from here right?
