We bought a HOUSE!!

We are taking the next step in our journey into adulthood....we bought a house!!

Fall Colors

This weekend was amazing. As we listened to conference this weekend, Josh and I went for a few different drives to see the fall colors. We hit Heber Valley, Logan Canyon and Bear Lake. All the colors were beautiful and breathtaking. We enjoyed the scenery plus our Rasberry shakes ;).

If you are ever feeling discouraged or forgotten- go take a walk (or a drive in my case) outside "among your blessings". You won't be able to NOT feel the love of our Heavenly Father through his mighty and beautiful creations.

Summer Lovin...Had me a blast!

Josh and I had a great summer. The first summer in 3 yrs. where every day wasn't 100+ degrees. (Which I secretly missed off and on) This summer has been full of beautiful hikes, hangin out at the cabin, demolition derbys, friends and family! I am kind of sad that summer is almost over but also excited to see fall again.

Redrock Relay

Jay completed her first relay this weekend!! She drove down to St. George and ran the Redrock Relay with her sister and friends. They started in Cedar City and ran all day and night to St. George! I still have not figured out the mentality of runners yet. That just doesn't sound fun to me, but Jay said she had a blast!! I am so proud of her!! She is an amazing woman and a great runner!

Road Trippin

Right after Josh's graduation we decided to go on a little road trip to celebrate.We knew that we had to do it before Josh started work or we wouldn't be able to for awhile. So, we packed up the car on a whim and headed out. I love road trips. We had a blast! We stayed at KOAs along the way and when we got to Nauvoo we stayed at my parents condo (which was amazing). Life really is good! We went to Jackson Hole, Yellowstone, Mt Rushmore (though it was too cloudy to see a thing so that is still on my bucket list), Mark Twain's home town and cave, Carthage, Nauvoo and a couple other stops on the way!

What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas!

Even though Josh spent almost three years living, working, and gaining a fine education at UNLV he has decided to not stay in Las Vegas.

Josh and I will be packing our bags and moving to, errr, I guess I should say I will be finally unpacking my bags and settling in my parents basement. You see, when Josh and I moved into the parents basement I didn't want to unpack everything just yet, in hopes that him and I would set out on another adventure.

Josh accepted a job in Layton, UT at Wasatch Peak. I am really happy for Josh, for his next adventure and for well, paychecks. :)

Bryce Canyon National Park

After Josh's graduation we decided to take a little detour on our drive home. Josh and I weren't in too much of a hurry to get back home and I had never been to Bryce Canyon so we decided to be a bit spontaneous and make the stop. We also got my parents to come (plus, my Dad has one of those senior passess to National Parks so he can get into any of them for free- which we benefit from when we jump in his car!) and be spontaneous we us.

I loved having my parents there, even if they did have to sit down a lot and take "pondering breaks".

I fell in love with this rock forrest. Isn't it beautiful?
