Midway Swiss Days

August 29th & 30th is Midway Swiss Days. Several girls from the ward piled into cars and went up the canyon to check it out. Swiss Days is a mix of an art festival and marketplace with entertainment. I love events like this. It made me really miss Camden Market in London.
Speaking of London, guess who I ran into! Justyne was at the festival with her family and we could not talk long. It was great seeing someone from London though. 

Not quite sure if all of this food is really "Swiss," but it claims to be. Maybe it is the Swiss cheese on the sandwich? ;)


Midway is a cute town. I am surprised how active it is for being so small. The architecture also has a heavy influence from... Switzerland? Even the LDS Church buildings look unique in this town.

No one bought very much, but it was a good time. Yay tent city!
Left to right: Joanna, Liz, and I in the back on the way home. Jessica rocks for telling us about the festival and bringing us along.

And now for a very sad story....
September 6th - I was on a grocery shopping trip with Mykaela, Leilani, and Emmy. Our first stop was Target. My phone had been acting weird for several days. It would turn off or the buttons would stop working. After checking out of Target, my phone turned off and never turned back on. I don't know what happened!!! I was so frustrated, and then my new debit card didn't work. Can you saw hot mess? I was a wreck. I didn't know what to do without money or communication. Thank goodness my coworkers are so sweet. My stress level sky-rocketed with how frustrated I was. 

News Flash: There is not an Apple Store in Utah County. Oh happy valley.... The Simply Mac Store could not help.  I had to take a trip to Murray, just to be told they did not have my phone and would have to come back once they had one shipped in. It could not be shipped to my house and the Iphone 6 was coming out, backing up all other orders.
 Over two weeks of being phone-less was liberating. but soooo annoying when everyone expects you to be on the grid. I also felt bad I did not have my own car to take care of all of these errands.

Half a month later, Miranda and I made it to Murray to pick up my new phone. At last!! She is a gem.
