A very needed update!

Hello! I feel like i haven't updated my blog for such a long time! The last time that I updated was around finals week and boy, am I glad that is over. This Summer has been a blast! We have been so lucky to stay here in Logan. Here is what is happening with the both of us....

Drew has been doing good! He is working a lot and enjoying working on his jeep. It is looking pretty sweet too! Also he is already getting excited for hunting season. He has already planned out a weekend for me and him to go! ha ha It will be an adventure. I haven't really experienced the whole hunting scene, so we will see how that goes... it will be hilarious!

As for me, nothing to new going on. Working a lot and enjoying fun activities outside. I am really trying to get into shape and eating right once again. I love the feeling of getting up in the morning and going for a run. There is just something about running in the mornings that makes my whole day so much smoother! However... its the getting out of bed part that kills me!

A couple of weeks ago I went on a road trip with my Mom and sister Estee. Estee was riding the triple bypass in Colorado, so we all jumped in her Subaru to support her long ride. Here are just some of the pictures from the trip. I loved the area we were in. Vail is so awesome! I wouldn't mind if we lived in that area. It is amazing! It was way fun too because i got to see some of my family that lives in Colorado that i don't get to see a lot.

This is a the end of the race. Cooper was so happy to be out of the car and able to crawl around on the grass.

This is where my Aunt lives. It was so awesome! She had the most amazing view ever.

All of my Aunts flowers are wildflowers. Here is a snap shot i took right before we left. I didn't edit this picture at all. The colors are amazing i think!

Estee did awesome on her ride. I'll tell you what... it made me want to buy a bike even more going to this event. It is my new goal. I would love to ride in the triple bypass next year with her. I better start training now! Its 120 miles and like a 10,000 ft. vertical climb!

I had fun taking pictures of cute little Cooper. He is the best baby!

Cooper, Me, and My Aunt Jeniel

We wrote some names of family and friends who were in the race on the highway. We had someone watching the cars and telling us when to move. It was a adrenaline rush cause the cars were coming so fast! The things we do for the riders. haha

Well i have some more the write about but this post would be way to long if i kept going. So i will write more soon! Hope everyone is doing good!

Moab Adventures

This weekend me and Drew took a short vacation and went to Moab. It was super fun! We were supposed to leave on Wednesday night, but ended up leaving a day later because it was crazy getting everything done with the jeep and school. When we finally got there it was such a relief and it was so nice to just relax. The first day we were there it was COLD! However, the day after that it was super warm and i was able to feel the wonderful sun. All in all we came home with a little bit of a tan and a jeep that didn't break. HALLELUJAH!

Drew has been working way hard to get his jeep finished for this trip. He is seriously so talented with working on jeeps! From new axles, tires, tube fenders, shocks, drive shafts and more... this jeep was done in speed time! (Aren't you impressed that i knew all those parts?)

The second day we went on Caine Creek trail (my personal favorite). Here is a picture of some of the guys.

Modeling Babes

We had a blast! Now i'm home though i'm way stressed about finals. Oh well, it was super fun and i'm glad we went!

Adventures of Spring Break

Today was such a beautiful day in Logan. Drew and I went on a walk and i officially felt hot while being outside for the first time in about 5 months. I felt pretty good about that. I love the winter and I'm still a little bitter about not getting BIG powder days but I'm excited for the warm air to start filling our valley. (And maybe these white legs can get a little sun!)

This last week was spring break for us and we ended up just staying in Logan. It was super fun. We didn't work a lot so we got to just spend time together doing fun stuff that we normally don't have time for. I LOVE not having to worry about school. I LOVE sitting down to watch a movie and not worry about when my next grant paper is due, or when my next physiology test is. This week was a stress free break, and let me tell you i needed it.

This week we went snowmobiling/skiing with my sister and her husband up at Tony Grove. It was super fun/scary. Well, I guess we could just say that it was super intense. Here is a video to show you how everything was going about halfway into the day... ha

It was good that Estee was there because we had a some great laughs. She is pretty much hilarious!

The rest of the week we chilled at the Rock Haus and played with friends and family. Climbing has become one of my favorite hobbies. If you think about it, it is kind of a weird sport... but it is very addicting! Welp, Spring break is officially over. Sad, but I guess it had to come sometime! Hope everyone is doing well!

Reasons i CAN'T WAIT for warm weather!

This last summer while we were gone i missed a lot of fun thing that Utah has to do in the summer! Almost everyday it rained in Ketchikan, not that I'm complaining because i loved the weather up there, i just am excited for some Utah fun in the sun! Some things i can't wait to do....

Moab! I've missed the trip the last two times and I'm not going to again!

Skim boarding in Bear lake! Everything about Bear lake in the summer is fun!

River trips to the Green and the Snake! Pretty sure i caught more fish then Drew that trip. All Skill baby.

Happy V- Day!

Well V-day here! Happy Valentines everyone! Hope you have a good day and share it with someone you love!

The Simple Life

My grandpa found some old slides in his basement of when my dad was little. He went to kinko's and put the pictures on a CD. He was so mad that the CD wouldn't play on his TV, so i took i home and made a movie out of it. It was so much fun for me to see pictures of what life was like back in the day. It made me want to jump into a time traveling machine and experience life back then. I just wanted to post some pictures and show you how cute my family is.

I love this picture because of all the old cars.

My Grandma Ann (in the purple and white suit)-- I love that bathing suit and the glasses!

My Dad, Uncles, and Grandma

Pretty sure my dad still like this! (minus the unbuttoned shirt) All he needs is a golden chain.

Christmas is here!

Love this time of year! Yesterday we had our annual candy making party. Let me just tell you that i probably ate a years worth of sugar. We get to learn so much about candy making including how to temper chocolate, which was totally new to me. Plus it snowed all day so it made the whole day perfect!

From right to left: Ashlee Kennedy, Jenny Borchert, My Mom, Aunt Sue, Claudean Cox, Lizette Thurgood, Kensie Hansen, Me, ST, Linds, and Whitney Cox

My new favorite are homemade almond joys! Oh man, talk about a party in your mouth!

Cherry Chocolates

Claudean (my sister in-law Lindsey's Mom) was the professional! We learn so much from her!

Dipping pretzels

I think the boys love this day more then anyone!
