A Summer of Fun: Weddings, Travels, and Memories

August 10, 2025August 10, 2025 elizabethjoyhadley

Well, I have to go back to work tomorrow so I guess that means that summer must come to an end. I still plan to enjoy the outdoors as much as I can even when I’m back at work, but for the most part, the fun of summer is over.

And boy, did I have a lot of fun!

Here is a little look back on arguably one of the biggest summers of my life!

When school got out on May 23rd, I began my summer with laryngitis! As someone who loves to talk, it was really hard! But I quickly recovered in time for my bachelorette party in SLC! Just kidding, I actually still couldn’t talk, but we had a blast nonetheless!

A short while after that, I traveled back home to Massachusetts to get ready for my wedding! I was so lucky I was able to spend almost an entire month in Massachusetts this summer!

But, it wasn’t all just getting ready for my wedding! Mom and I went to NYC for a day and to Martha’s Vineyard as well.

I was also able to see a lot of my family and friends as well! I just loved being able to spend so much time in my home state!

Nothing a little ice cream and your two best friends can’t fix!

Bounce house fun with Bruce and Victoria!

And then, just like that!! It was WEDDING WEEKEND!! Everyone was in MA and the weekend was just so much fun. All my hard work for a year and a half for the wedding and it paid off! It was really great and I’m sad it’s over. But, also I am glad to have more time to focus on other things! Here are a few pictures from the day.

Then, we spent a few more days in MA doing some fun things, before returning to Idaho.

Can’t go to Boston without going to the Red Sox!

Back in Idaho for a little bit and had some fun with Jackson! We went for Jackson day and we went on a long hike and to pick out a new toy!

Then, I went down to Scottsdale, Arizona for the Josten’s Yearbook Adviser University. Spoiler alert: I loved it! I learned so much and was so excited to learn new things and meet new people!

The resort where the conference was didn’t hurt either!

I must’ve been learning something really good here!

Then I was back in Idaho for a week before Trevor and I went on our honeymoon to Hawaii! We were going on Norwegian Cruise Line’s Pride of America cruise around all the Hawaiian islands. What a crazy trip since the massive earthquake hit Russia while we were there prompting a tsunami warning for where we were. Thank goodness everyone was okay, but it was scary!

The trip was great though, and I would absolutely go back to Hawaii! We loved it!

We went to a luau, the beach a few times, walked the streets of Waikiki Beach, saw the Pearl Harbor memorial, enjoyed an unexpected day at Sea, ate a lot of pineapple, and explored all that we could!

Now, summer is over. I suppose it’s good. Life can’t be all fun and games!

I always love summer, and I’m already looking forward to next summer. But, I’m also excited to see what this year brings! Summer of 2025, you were good to me!

What a great January!

Hi Friends! I can’t believe it’s already February! I feel like January was slow and fast. I don’t know, there is part of me that feels like it should be March already, but then another that’s like Wow! Where did January go?

Here’s a recap! Overall, I’d say it was a great month!

The year started in Boston with my besties and my family! I’m so thankful for them!

Flew back to Idaho and immediately went back to work on January 3.

We had a lot of very snowy days! One of the weeks I feel like it snowed every single morning!

One weekend I didn’t leave my house at all because of the snow. I would finish shoveling and immediately have to shovel again!

Went skiing at Sun Valley! Here’s to more skiing in February!

Took way too many photos of Jackson sleeping! He’s just so cute!

Spent some time reading!! Here’s to more reading in February too!

And, even enjoyed some outdoor walks to end the month with these above average temperatures we’ve been having!

My biggest goal for this year is to enjoy things I used to enjoy again. When I was in college and even before that, I had a lot of things I loved to do. Everything from reading, to running, to dancing, cooking, playing my clarinet. There were so many things I loved to do, and I stopped doing all of them because of my job. My entire life revolved around my job, and I want that to STOP in 2024. I want to enjoy the things I used to enjoy again, and enjoy my life. Life is so short and it flies by.

November 3, the day I got engaged!

November 12, 2023 elizabethjoyhadley

Hi friends!! I have quite the story to tell you!

On November 3rd, 2023 my boyfriend Trevor asked me to marry him.

I thought I would share the story here with you, partly because it’s really cute and partly because I don’t want to forget it! So, here it goes!

November 3rd, of 2019 was the day that Trevor and I first met. This year, November 3rd fell on a Friday, so all week we were planning to go out to dinner to celebrate.

We were planning to go out to Juanitzio’s, which is a Mexican Restaurant that tastes really good.

I got finished with work on that day around 2, and I headed to the grocery store after work, then I came home, took my dog out for a walk, read my book on the couch, and you know, it was just a very normal day.

Trevor got home from work and went to take a shower, very normal after a long day.

He came out from the shower and asked me if instead of Juanitzio’s, if I wanted to go to Rock Creek, which is a steak house that is a little bit fancier.

I thought nothing of it, because in my mind I’m like yeah, we could go to Juanitzio’s any day, but we probably wouldn’t go to Rock Creek that often, only on special occasions.

He then asks me if I wanted to change. I was in workout clothes, so again, that makes total sense.

I went to change into a nicer outfit and then I came out from doing that and was putting on my shoes, and was thinking nothing of it. But, then Trevor came into the bedroom and was looking at me all strange. I asked him if he didn’t want to go, or if he didn’t feel good.

Instead of replying, he gets down on one knee and proposes to me! He said, Will you marry me?

My reaction, was probably very atypical.

“Are you sure?”

“Are you serious?”

“What?”

I genuinely couldn’t believe that it was happening right then.

It never once crossed my mind, even after all that happened that day, that he would or might propose to me that day. I honestly was so shocked and surprised.

I eventually said Yes, and then we had a moment of disbelief and I had many questions for him, such as who knew you were going to do this, and How long have you had this ring? You know, the journalist that I am was very curious.

We eventually went to Rock Creek and celebrated there.

We’ve now been engaged for a little over a week and it’s finally just now sinking in.

I couldn’t believe it but I’m so excited.

I thought that we would get engaged and get married someday, we’ve had lots of conversations about it. But, I’m glad I was so surprised, because it made it so much better!

Anyways, that’s the story, and I have no idea about anything else, but here are some cute pictures that we took the day after!
