Sorry for the delay......

Please forgive me for waiting so long to update our blog. I need to start taking after my good friend Kris, in England, who always updates, and lets everyone know what is going on with them. Thanks Kris for the blogging inspiration! This blog might be a little long, so bear with me.




School finally ended for me at the end of April, I was so excited to be out of there. 17 credits didn't seem that bad at first, but at the end I was definently feeling it. Right after my last final we went straight up to Park City with our good friends, Austin and Stacie, adn her little sister Ashley and her husband Adam. We stayed in a condo like room. It was beautiful! It had 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a huge living room and fireplace. Comfortable beds, and couches, and the best part was a Jacussi on the balcony. It was the perfect cabin feeling for being up in the beautiful mountains. There was still a bit of snow up there, but it was warm and sunny everyday. We went shopping at the outlets, of course, and then we went up to the Olympic Park. Since the olympics were here in 2002 (I think?), you can go up to where they did the ski Jumping, and bobsledding and see the tracks, or go to the museum that they have. It was really interesting. The first level is about how skiing was first used in Utah, the second floor, was all about the olympics. They had the torch, and they had some of the costumes and uniforms that they athletes competed in. They showed the different medals, how they made them, it was really interesting. They also have the biggest and steepest zip line in the world, but we opted to wait. It was a little to cold to be flying down the side of a mountain. We had a great time up there with our friends, and can't wait to go back.




Lately we have just been working a lot, but we still try to find time to hang our with each other, or with family. Summer is trying to get here and we have gone swimming a couple of times, but hopefully it will get hotter and stay hot. It seems to get hot, then get cold, like 50 degrees cold, and then get hot again. Hopefully this pattern won't keep going, and my californian roots will help it to stay hot, and feel like summer. Our anniversary is coming up this month on the 24th. I still can't believe it has almost been 3 years since we got married. It has gone by so fast, I promise I will keep you all posted, and tell you all about it.

Hey there Barnums. How's it going? Sounds like you had a fun getaway after a long semester. You deserved it. So how sad am I that you are living in Springville and I just moved from Springville and we never got together. Go figure. Michael graduated in April and accepted a job working at Omniture in Orem. We live down the street from his work and really liking it here. Life is good for us. How is Brian liking his job? How much school do you have left? We love you guys. keep in touch.
