I hate to single her out because I have seen many since pages with similar notes (some much after the wedding day), but it really got me thinking... I was recently married and the stereotype clearly states there should be "wedded bliss," but I'm just not feeling it. Me and Brett have been married for almost three months and I would describe the major feeling in my life to be something more along the lines of "wedded stress" or maybe "post-marriage anxiety." I have experienced multiple bounced checks, job loss, late payments, major disappointments due to lack of funding for school, decrease in job satisfaction and the loss of a loved one, but no where in my summer so far have I experienced "bliss." Maybe I'm doing things wrong. Maybe it's just the cynic in me saying that these "blissful" people are only as happy as they are pretending... But my life feels empty and weak, a far cry from satisfying, and a long shot away from bliss. I would like to think I'm just being a realist, but I'm probably just ranting. Anyways.

Here is the laundry list of things that have occured in our lives since January:<br /><br />-I (Savannah) finally found a car to buy with the money I received from the insurance for my car being totalled. I was so proud of myself because I made the decision to buy it all on my own and it seemed like a really nice, sound car. Apparently my judgement is way off, because I have already spent a few hundred dollars on repairs, and it still has problems.... :-P Guess that will always be the story of my life...<br /><br />-In 4.25 hours and counting, I will have completed the most obnoxious, horrible, terrifying semester of my life! The last few months have been really difficult with juggling full time school, full time work, and full time wedding planning! :-S After this afternoon my life will be dedicated to full time napping! Oh, wait, I still have a wedding to plan and money to make... Drats.<br /><br />-Brett finally was able to find a new job and he again is a member of corporate America (this time employed by Target.)<br /><br />-I got my wisdom teeth out last month and it was awesome! I was dreading getting it done like no other, and I nearly had a panic attack on the drive from Milford to St. George that morning, but it really wasn't too bad! I worked the next night and I felt just fine. Savannah is invincible I tell you, downright invincible.<br /><br />-Brett finally cleaned his room for the first time since moving into his apartment in August! Woo Hoo!!!<br /><br />-The wedding plans are slowly coming together.... there is so much still to do, but after today I will have a lot more time to focus on working out the details. I am so excited to be married in less than a month!<br /><br />-Brett is going to be ordained an Elder this Sunday and our parents are going to meet each other for the first time... that will sure be interesting... :-)<br /><br />Yeah, So that's pretty much our lives as of right now... It sound so very boring, but I obviously haven't had a spare moment to designate for blogging, so that should say something, right? Oh, and we did our Bridal/Groomal pictures yesterday! It was the perfect day for it! The sun was shining, it was warm, and we even got to share the day with Pocahontas and paintballers. Woot!<br />Here are some self portraits from the day:<br /><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUnAdQV3iMoJGGSakHWmb4RPsu7p2vRg4JeOqh4dVLafubvC6Xn233KdMh1x-PQZEkidVZc7KOugdbkCnRSJ7xdQ7n10sQhIsrGmTRuru4ApoThI3tt0rH5DhQPuOMTLd-g9ibTKBagvI/s1600-h/Photo0043.jpeg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327557338256403506" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUnAdQV3iMoJGGSakHWmb4RPsu7p2vRg4JeOqh4dVLafubvC6Xn233KdMh1x-PQZEkidVZc7KOugdbkCnRSJ7xdQ7n10sQhIsrGmTRuru4ApoThI3tt0rH5DhQPuOMTLd-g9ibTKBagvI/s320/Photo0043.jpeg" border="0" /></a><br />Self portrait of us riding in the back of the jeep after the good pictures all got taken.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwyYfczdCKGtZP7W-uTTg8obwulDFY54yjyLghek2gxFrzC-4v77PhYS7WF4Pfhz81BBDRA564AKFFX1uMfHjxjCyBRVx0bFuzL6DMD6P9BFXL_ZaOj9rlPudKypl3H3Mz3-QqV2wfKnk/s1600-h/Photo0041.jpeg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327557341816628450" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwyYfczdCKGtZP7W-uTTg8obwulDFY54yjyLghek2gxFrzC-4v77PhYS7WF4Pfhz81BBDRA564AKFFX1uMfHjxjCyBRVx0bFuzL6DMD6P9BFXL_ZaOj9rlPudKypl3H3Mz3-QqV2wfKnk/s320/Photo0041.jpeg" border="0" /></a><br />Look at this sexy man!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUNuASNlNaUEACfZZbuVcd2etoXX9vlaCnssus1CijagaY9yTtXrpUYUkRiETt515daIuaZRvNEAiXPdBTUcncG4LKn0QKv_k0eOpMi4wjbOosfw4t8weouihFYJOQ4tRmVGrORPIQum4/s1600-h/Photo0037.jpeg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327557336863898386" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUNuASNlNaUEACfZZbuVcd2etoXX9vlaCnssus1CijagaY9yTtXrpUYUkRiETt515daIuaZRvNEAiXPdBTUcncG4LKn0QKv_k0eOpMi4wjbOosfw4t8weouihFYJOQ4tRmVGrORPIQum4/s320/Photo0037.jpeg" border="0" /></a><br />Attitude, attitude (say it with a French accent, it sounds cooler)</div><div> </div><div>Well, peace out all!<br /><br /></div><div></div>Savannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15879966312487776672noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686410551909724696.post-80017557564134763602009-01-16T12:03:00.000-08:002009-01-16T12:16:24.554-08:00What the random?Oh the joy of a cancelled class. Because my mind is so busy stressing about work tonight, I don't feel like doing homework (which is what I SHOULD be doing), so I'm going to do this survey that was emailed to me awhile back. Woo-hoo!<br /><br />Place a check next to all the things you have done:<br /><br />( x) Gone on a blind date <br />(x) Watched someone die<br />( ) Been to Canada<br />( ) Been to Mexico <br />(x) Been to Florida <br />(x) Been to Europe <br />( ) Been to South America <br />( ) Been to Central America <br />( ) Been to Asia<br />(x) Been on a plane <br />( ) Been on a Cruise<br /> <br />( ) Visited All 50 States<br />(X) Been lost <br />(x) Been on the opposite side of the country <br />( ) Gone to Washington , DC <br />(X) Swam in the ocean<br />(X) Cried yourself to sleep<br />(x) Played cops and robbers<br />(x) Recently colored with crayons<br />( ) Sang Karaoke <br />(x) Paid for a meal with coins only<br />(x) Done something you told yourself you wouldn't<br />(x) Made a prank phone call...<br />(x) Laughed until some kind of beverage came out of your nose.<br />(X) Caught a snowflake on your tongue <br />(X) Danced in the rain<br />(x) Written a letter to Santa Claus<br />( ) Been kissed under the mistletoe<br />(x) Watched the sunrise with someone<br />(X) Blown bubbles<br />(X) Gone ice-skating<br />( ) Been skinny dipping outdoors <br />(x) Gone to the movies <br /><br />1. Any nickname? Sav, Savy G, Savy, Sambanna<br />2. Mother's name? Barbara<br />3. Favorite drink? Dr. Pepper... it makes the world taste betta, yeah!<br />4. Body Piercing? Just my ears<br />5. On a scale of 1-10, how much do you love your job? 9.5-- I don't like the stress and some days it's hard as heck, but overall, I think it's amazing. In fact, that makes me think of an amazing quote which I feel the need to add here:<br /><br />"Somestimes when people ask us, 'How can you do this work?' we think, 'How could we not?' How could we have the ability to contribute to a journey of hope and healing and not use it? There is no other work that we would find this meaningful, challenging, and rewarding. What other work would allow us to engage fully--our minds, our hearts, our spirits? How could we choose not to do something that demands our creativity, all of our intellectual capacity, all of our feelings, our whole humanity?"<br /><br />Amazing one, huh? That's how I feel about my job.<br /><br />6. Birthplace? Orem, UT<br />7. Favorite vacation spot? Anywhere with a freaking beach!<br />8. Favorite movie? All time fave would probably have to be Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure<br />9. Favorite holiday? Thanksgiving<br />10. Favorite dessert? Cheesecake<br />11. Favorite food? Chinese!<br />12. Favorite day of the week? Ones with no school.<br />13. Favorite brand of body soap? The cheap kind that smells good.<br />14. Favorite toothpaste? Crest Whitening Expressions in Vanilla Mint. Mmm, mmm.<br />15. Favorite smell? The subtle smell of the people I love.<br />16. How do you relax? Listen to music, kiss my lover, do nothing.<br />17. How do you see yourself in 10 years? As a therapist, a wife, probably a mother.<br />18. Furthest place you will send this message to? Hmm... cyberspace.... ? hahaSavannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15879966312487776672noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686410551909724696.post-6682633067051777572008-12-21T14:11:00.001-08:002008-12-21T15:08:02.133-08:00The long anticipated UpdateOk, so now that I have a few minutes to spare, I am going to try and update what I can. Me and Brett always have so much going on, so things just pile up and I hate just spitting them out like a laundry list, but it seems that that is the most effective way to do it! So here is what we have been up to from the most recent:<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br /><div>We got in a horrible freakin car accident (which I already wrote about). I have been patiently awaiting the insurance's decision on whether or not to call the car a total loss (although it seemed pretty obvious that it was). They finally let me know it was "totalled" and gave me less than 3 days to find another mode of transportation because I was told I would need to return my lovely Dodge Magnum rental. The newest edition to this story involves a trip to the car rental company where no one was there and Savannah now gets to pay close to 100 dollars to keep the car for extra days even though she did everything on her part to return the dang thing on time! Isn't that the freakin story of my life? Anyway, I am very anxious to find a new (well used), reliable, cheap car that will get good gas mileage and drive well in the snow. If you know of any, let me know, because I have a feeling I'm going to get desperate pretty soon.<br /></div><br /><div>Another big, and more exciting event in our lives recently was Brett's 21rst birthday! Unfortunately we weren't able to go all out and road trip to Vegas like we did for my big day, but we still had some fun! Brett was a little bummed because we had to take our Sociology Final on his big day (what a great present, huh?) but we still tried to make the day fun. We went out to eat at Tucanos (the best Brazilian grill around!) and later went to see a movie together. My birthday present to Brett was surprising him with a visit from his brother and tickets to both of them to go see a concert with one of his favorite bands! Here is a picture of him with the lead singer.<br /></div><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmeeRm71mPttSUzwXHVvbhIQosP2EPrhRseJOgmSSDN4tiFdKWsPBRhl9CN2jDSLg6tWR85S8sNGZv10_j9GPZ82YQVMfzJJgvaxniV_OefV6vXS7sAYM6cilyyqQH7jJdDCa3dtcC1Is/s1600-h/brett.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282373208347120562" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmeeRm71mPttSUzwXHVvbhIQosP2EPrhRseJOgmSSDN4tiFdKWsPBRhl9CN2jDSLg6tWR85S8sNGZv10_j9GPZ82YQVMfzJJgvaxniV_OefV6vXS7sAYM6cilyyqQH7jJdDCa3dtcC1Is/s320/brett.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Ok, so I guess other than those two things, we haven't had anything major happen that I have photo documentation of.

The playground there is so freakin awesome. They have thesee little spinny things you can sit and spin on and we spent a lot of time getting ridiculously dizzy.

Sadly, I took her for granted. When she broke down or wouldn't even start at all, I kicked her, cursed at her, and wished she were dead. Now as I look back, I realize we truly did have some good times. We've sure been through a lot together.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqltoEh7nDG0-0jOe283n4sv9xoeH3AQ1edxPjArGAihSjHDyJ1G_mWX6p_wIXoGVxUgGxSzxcUIxf1ZLUzrUaE7zKs8-oXe38cDVZGO-B6uR_KQp0ZXZfz2pOXrhyphenhyphenk5xThV1WZxdtOfQ/s1600-h/IMGP1721.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278005873901834930" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqltoEh7nDG0-0jOe283n4sv9xoeH3AQ1edxPjArGAihSjHDyJ1G_mWX6p_wIXoGVxUgGxSzxcUIxf1ZLUzrUaE7zKs8-oXe38cDVZGO-B6uR_KQp0ZXZfz2pOXrhyphenhyphenk5xThV1WZxdtOfQ/s320/IMGP1721.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />See this beautiful, big dent? We got this one together the summer after I bought her. Me and my sister were camping with our family when we decided to drive to Duchesne to see fireworks with my cousin who lived in a small town nearby. Long story short, we spent the night in Neola (at my cousin's house) and in the morning, got completely lost with the directions back to our camp. We were in the middle of nowhere, going like 20 miles an hour on a dirt road, when all of a sudden, my sister squeals! The next thing I know, I see a deer bolting towards the side of my car in my peripheral vision, and boom! it hits us. I was pissed! I got out of the car to survey the damage, and later beat myself up that I hadn't tried chasing after the deer to get it's insurance information. That dang doe is gonna pay someday!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj06JvDa47zn8K_NpC20TsGWh2qfhXJcc87FdC-D_4fpsjvj5huXbgUzTZF3VACT6EPt4SWlimE_sI-PnZ6IAC4ksVZJlkvdGboz4TSVfXvpxljiHnmXoQTspnecTE-dTqB3XnNUaLXirQ/s1600-h/IMGP1717.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278005868928730354" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj06JvDa47zn8K_NpC20TsGWh2qfhXJcc87FdC-D_4fpsjvj5huXbgUzTZF3VACT6EPt4SWlimE_sI-PnZ6IAC4ksVZJlkvdGboz4TSVfXvpxljiHnmXoQTspnecTE-dTqB3XnNUaLXirQ/s320/IMGP1717.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />The next adventure we had together was just a few months ago while me and Brett were still living in Cedar City. We had spent most of the night over at Brett's family's house in Milford and were driving back to Cedar really late. I was exhausted, so Brett insisted he was wide awake and up for the drive. Unfortunately, he wasn't. He fell asleep and I woke up to the car bumping up and down on the gravel on the opposite side of the road. That also woke Brett up and he jerked the car back to the road, but over-corrected, so we did a 180 and the passenger side of the car barrelled into a barbed wire fence. The picture above is not of the damage done <em>that </em>time (although there were still a lot of big scratches and a dent to match the one the deer had made). It was a pretty scary experience, but all three of us were O.K.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9w4jwPp6Z0tGGlT0cLBYenk_4Sm948jKu61PhoE6zOtxDsidrbSO0xYWEnD3YZBw9AC3ofLg_M5oyhwH6Ti4BHJrmXpdlnEpJ-zuHpIHOT1qUmnO7MYv4nlPFFRulwoBgSXsLgbsU6g0/s1600-h/IMGP1722.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278005878170413106" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9w4jwPp6Z0tGGlT0cLBYenk_4Sm948jKu61PhoE6zOtxDsidrbSO0xYWEnD3YZBw9AC3ofLg_M5oyhwH6Ti4BHJrmXpdlnEpJ-zuHpIHOT1qUmnO7MYv4nlPFFRulwoBgSXsLgbsU6g0/s320/IMGP1722.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />You think it ends there? Of course not! In the end of October I was running late for school, and all of a sudden, the road I'm on is closed off! I didn't have time to sit and wait all day, so I pulled onto this dirt road and tried to back out and head the opposite way. All of a sudden, the stopped cars started moving, and I guess the guy who was in front of me originally, moved closer to where I was backing out, and my car smashed into the back of the utility trailer he was pulling. Of course I didn't make it to school, and wound up with this nasty back end to flaunt around town.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisP3o3EnQ822EumEs0UNSVQs7uYnGKyJjnHjpEmFqdIQ_PN7kUiKI6L1gLixRnqpSPerj-Rc3xxMcnykN8M6J_BsZQOAeeeKkCxUBB9eypfrs4X-9RRTCa0KOj7jci-d1D3QgMyeNCHFU/s1600-h/IMGP1724.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278005879064794882" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisP3o3EnQ822EumEs0UNSVQs7uYnGKyJjnHjpEmFqdIQ_PN7kUiKI6L1gLixRnqpSPerj-Rc3xxMcnykN8M6J_BsZQOAeeeKkCxUBB9eypfrs4X-9RRTCa0KOj7jci-d1D3QgMyeNCHFU/s320/IMGP1724.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Now for the final goodbye. Last night me and Brett attempted to see The Dark Knight (because it came out on video today), and the dollar theater sent us home because there weren't enough people to show the movie. (Who does that, first of all?!) So we get home and try to make popcorn so we can cuddle and watch a Christmas movie at least, but there is no popcorn to be found! What is a movie without popcorn, right? So we hop back into my car to go to the store down the road for some, and little did we know, we would greatly regret that decision. It was freezing cold outside (like 10 degrees, literally!) and the wind was howling. It had snowed a little earlier, so we were driving really slow. Unfortunately, that didn't stop us from completely losing control of the car and sliding downhill on a complete sheet of black ice. We hit into the curb right in front of the last house on the street. We were shaken up and tried to reverse to straighten the car out, when another car comes careening down the same road completely out of control. My car had hit the curb straight on, so we were at an angle and the car smashed right into the passenger side of my car, completely totalling it. I was so terrified that Brett was crushed, but luckily he came away without a scratch. We spent two hours outside in the freezing cold waiting for cops, filling out paperwork, waiting for a tow truck, and finally walking home once things calmed down somewhat. It was a pretty traumatic night, but luckily, everyone involved was fine. I got a knarly seatbelt burn/cut on my neck, and some minor aches and pains, but unfortunately, I can't say the same for my baby. She is sitting in a tow yard all sad and alone and very mangled.<br /><br />So this is dedicated to you my baby! Thank you for all the good times, and even though I always whined about your flaws, you will surely be missed!Savannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15879966312487776672noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686410551909724696.post-34120225882723862672008-12-03T22:48:00.000-08:002008-12-03T22:58:50.282-08:00I got my dress!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGc4BqAPT3Vy8LxjL61XE5u3GWTfvhKoYyDo1rv8lb9AjktLmywv2cyiRAvKqWHCdgV2Q541QChR0_plHdTYaTHo_y-0jqfIIAHm1zKwUB3bZBPhafxony6fZaL_mIrhAt3PV8o4xbrCQ/s1600-h/wedding-dress-back.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275825396638407314" style="WIDTH: 218px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGc4BqAPT3Vy8LxjL61XE5u3GWTfvhKoYyDo1rv8lb9AjktLmywv2cyiRAvKqWHCdgV2Q541QChR0_plHdTYaTHo_y-0jqfIIAHm1zKwUB3bZBPhafxony6fZaL_mIrhAt3PV8o4xbrCQ/s320/wedding-dress-back.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>So, I have TONS to update on here when I get more time, but I just had to post something real quick because I BOUGHT MY WEDDING DRESS TODAY!

This whole wedding thing is starting to become very real! It's only like 5 months away now! I am getting more excited the closer it gets. AHH! Haha.

Yesterday we went to our final bridal show before the big day, and it was awesome! We entered a wedding cake eating contest and won second place!! Woot!! Luckily, the second place prize was the one we actually wanted, so we are even closer to having the most FUN wedding EVER! :-) I have to give Brett nearly all the credit though.... Because I am not a big cake fan, he ate most of the disgusting stuff, while I gagged the small bits down that I could. It was the most awful thing ever, but it was so worth it! If you want to see what we won, come to the wedding!! </div><br /><div>In addition to deciding never to eat cake EVER again, we had a fun time going to the Vineyard cornmaze with Sarah, Antonio and Natalie. Since we got there just as they were letting the last group in, we were told we needed to be finished by the time it got dark. Well, we were done before dark, but unfortunately we got locked in!!! Apparently they forgot about us.... So we had to explore a little and find a way out.

Things have been incredibly busy for us over the last few months!!! Because I still don't have a lot of time to include all the details of what we have been up to, I will just give you the highlights on both of us:</div><div></div><div>Savannah:<br /></div><div>-loves her new job, even though it was very new and a little hard to get used to<br />-is so busy taking 6 classes in school she barely has time to think</div><div>-loves living at home a lot more than she thought she would (you really can't beat free rent!)</div><div>-hates the ridiculous amounts of homework she has, but LOVES two of her classes (Sociology and Abnormal Psych) because she is passionate about the subjects</div><div>-is still broke despite not paying rent, and may have to look for a new (really old car) soon because hers is about to give out...</div><div>-is so excited that she doesn't have school for the next two days, although she wishes she didn't have to work so she could really have a break.</div><div>-hates seeing Brett for literally only 5 minutes some days.</div><div>-is really excited for Christmas despite the fact that she can't afford to buy presents because it will at least be a long break from school.</div><div>-has decided to take one more year at UVU to get her Bachelors Degree so she doesn't have to stress out so much, and now she doesn't need to take summer school right after she and Brett get married!! YAY!!!</div><div>-is still antsy about planning the big day, although she doesn't have the time.</div><div>-hates that it already snowed up here and is getting really cold!</div><br /><div>Brett:</div><div></div><div>-found a really awesome condo to live in until they get married, and it's only ten minutes away from Savannah's house! </div><div>-loves school, even though he thinks some of his classes are boring.</div><div>-is still working at Home Depot in American Fork, freezing his tooshy off in the lot</div><div>-loved that he got to go see Anberlin and Scary Kids, Scaring Kids, two of his favorite bands last week!</div><div>-received first place in the Cashier Olympics at work!

That's pretty much it. A big highlight of the month is that we got our engagement pictures done last week and afterwards went to a really awesome concert! Since we don't get all our pictures until after the wedding, I kinda cheated and took pictures of them online on our proofing site with my camera... Shh... haha. So, they really are much higher quality than this, but I wanted you to at least be able to have a little sneak peek.... Here you go! (These were a couple of the ones our photographer chose as his favorites):<br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkAr0uut7O8U5zCHhdTTHi3Gmvb98SQeGD0fOsFFQeZ5nPcxhZoAHcmoDzwkIywY_KSBEL5wCG2HKyUkJZUiKxoLgt6YcU0K6VgMld0S69DDUflia4y_MqPyNArjRPCxRYLeBeeq5rbEI/s1600-h/IMGP1595.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257583866519060178" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkAr0uut7O8U5zCHhdTTHi3Gmvb98SQeGD0fOsFFQeZ5nPcxhZoAHcmoDzwkIywY_KSBEL5wCG2HKyUkJZUiKxoLgt6YcU0K6VgMld0S69DDUflia4y_MqPyNArjRPCxRYLeBeeq5rbEI/s320/IMGP1595.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhispp30BZtm6TVmBtelPRI10Z-o0GgWESbymtYKqs-AeAa39SCQdR3kbFdsFwIc1m3FI6gmAUZgqkxPUhbbW4MyNvPRrwulxFbtXkrLUiU02EoeiX-C29VDEXWvUP-CjqT6B8SRTK_Cpo/s1600-h/IMGP1591.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257583848148619554" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhispp30BZtm6TVmBtelPRI10Z-o0GgWESbymtYKqs-AeAa39SCQdR3kbFdsFwIc1m3FI6gmAUZgqkxPUhbbW4MyNvPRrwulxFbtXkrLUiU02EoeiX-C29VDEXWvUP-CjqT6B8SRTK_Cpo/s320/IMGP1591.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWQwymWBExiazghj-CVIg9OmAblh-QkD_0UK_Wo_fonfr9pl46Pc_fv7s6Dw3lXwmOiQBmkIq3ayq0vjS3C-p5JiLnFFE_DPJ_B2BwLKftcS11cn8H3gT6uJVfQv-0BVRDSXmuZu1ldko/s1600-h/IMGP1593.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257583860378607410" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWQwymWBExiazghj-CVIg9OmAblh-QkD_0UK_Wo_fonfr9pl46Pc_fv7s6Dw3lXwmOiQBmkIq3ayq0vjS3C-p5JiLnFFE_DPJ_B2BwLKftcS11cn8H3gT6uJVfQv-0BVRDSXmuZu1ldko/s320/IMGP1593.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi73FSfQwczlMGq2eXihf13F4ASncHGk5VgQhnW1J8IEIDJ6jpAYYac2Q_vArVhx3qFLcbhgTn23HgKFTBAEjtFyI-lgCWNtLbKvqaZ0r7Oz9bhjKoR5cFBndFyhm6mwzvtmoMSemw5wi0/s1600-h/IMGP1592.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257583855113670738" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi73FSfQwczlMGq2eXihf13F4ASncHGk5VgQhnW1J8IEIDJ6jpAYYac2Q_vArVhx3qFLcbhgTn23HgKFTBAEjtFyI-lgCWNtLbKvqaZ0r7Oz9bhjKoR5cFBndFyhm6mwzvtmoMSemw5wi0/s320/IMGP1592.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgauOc93fMLsch3B_GfldZjN4XCj7iInMyl2gOkaRhFzgQDkYG_nVeHP2stdtHZyAeTIHAloYETrgdotWDBjk42tPpUSsQ61CVoEZXLpxI18o8rNUMSLLFBZmn6Lc7Y0-i8UvbepJpDcuI/s1600-h/IMGP1596.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257584551457236626" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgauOc93fMLsch3B_GfldZjN4XCj7iInMyl2gOkaRhFzgQDkYG_nVeHP2stdtHZyAeTIHAloYETrgdotWDBjk42tPpUSsQ61CVoEZXLpxI18o8rNUMSLLFBZmn6Lc7Y0-i8UvbepJpDcuI/s320/IMGP1596.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgzwMVWlkVqaJ1vBCmuYO5h3kIB01XXXXsjvnWZiE5c7WQT3IUtobjEZR075fKz7gLVc-pkufhlpEa5IpdQSgAabK9YdMt50fn_CZBqbnurzJb21Um2hRG74w0anlPXsilODfVsHmyr6w/s1600-h/IMGP1597.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257584559407392370" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgzwMVWlkVqaJ1vBCmuYO5h3kIB01XXXXsjvnWZiE5c7WQT3IUtobjEZR075fKz7gLVc-pkufhlpEa5IpdQSgAabK9YdMt50fn_CZBqbnurzJb21Um2hRG74w0anlPXsilODfVsHmyr6w/s320/IMGP1597.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqfWS-rl3kdIm09UUXsTsroHqyLyaxfD3yE3TF7NSk_87KlIxo5wQjNoOlWHPfjscF1jaNdkvAfoLRxPsvxgvJTGdNDfXCLqZqH4m5eVO3TQOypmHI7zglMs1I4IalnhPCkWDuQO-MUg4/s1600-h/Pic0304.JPEG"></a></div><div>Here are a few pictures of the bands that we saw right afterwards!

Woo-hoo is it good to be home! (For me, at least.) I hate all the unnecessary traffic, and the fact that any store (WALMART!) is highly congested at any hour of any given day. So ANNOYING! But I guess those are things I can live with. So, to update you on our goings on for the past couple weeks, they are as follows:<br /><br />--Brett got a job at the Home Depot in American Fork. It's nice because he is close to my parent's house, so I can come visit him on his lunch break, but it's a bummer because it's so far from school, and he was demoted from head cashier to regular cashier/lot attendant. I guess he still makes the same amount, but it would have been nice if he could be FULL time, so we could get at least some of his tuition and books paid for by their tuition reimbursement plan. He has already started working, and he says he likes it ok so far. Hopefully he can get to know more people so work will go by faster for him.<br /><br />--I got a job at a place called Youthcare up in Draper! Finally! I will be starting orientation next week, which I am stoked about! I will be working with troubled teens basically, which is a great way to get a foot in the door with the counseling career I have chosen. The pay and benefits are GREAT, and the people I've met so far, have seemed awesome! The only drawback is, I will be missing most of the my first two days of school for orientation, and I won't have a set schedule for awhile because I will be on-call. But I think I can live with that for now. It helps that I don't have to worry about a rent payment anymore!! (I'm mooching off the parents....haha).<br /><br />--We still haven't found Brett a permanent place to live yet, which is the biggest thing on our minds right now. The "perfect apartment" just doesn't seem to be anywhere in sight! That may have changed as of 10 minutes ago, though. I just called on a really nice place that sounds perfect, and we are going to see it tommorow! Wish us luck!<br /><br />--School starts for us both this next Wednesday, and we are very excited! I didn't really think I was looking forward to it (I'm so burned out with all my previously gained knowledge!!), but I think I really am. It will be fun to have a change of scenery. We even have the same schedule 3 days a week so we can have lunch together and we are even in one of the same classes! Wow! Haha. That might be interesting. We are going to ride the bus to school on Monday to pick up all our books and map out our classes. It's definitely going to be a big change for Brett, but hopefully he will catch onto things quickly. <br /><br />Ok, so those are the major things that have been going on in our lives up here so far. Some other fun things we have done since being up here are:<br /><br />--Watched all of the gymnastic events of the Olympics (Go Nastia and Shawn!)<br /><br />--Went to Lagoon and had a blast all day with Emily and Skyler.<br /><br />--I surprised Brett with a romantic and fun picnic basket dinner at La Caille up in Salt Lake.<br /><br />--Tonight we are going camping with Sarah, (and hopefully Dave) Natalie, and Antonio and I'm sure we will have a great time up in Provo Canyon!<br /><br />Well, that's about it. I will post some picture of our visits to La Caille, Lagoon and Provo Canyon later on when I have more time!Savannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15879966312487776672noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686410551909724696.post-88899730473767708232008-08-07T09:00:00.000-07:002008-08-08T10:10:57.432-07:00The Big 21!July 21. Wake up. Get all excited that tommorow is my birthday. Get dressed. Shower. Text Hillary because today is HER birthday. Brush teeth. Floss.<br /><br />Heck, I don't remember the rest of the details. All I know, is that I had a freakin awesome birthday!<br /><br />It was monday and I got stuck with working the night shift so that I could have another day off in the week. I wasn't too thrilled. (After all, I was working with Dan... haha) However, the night actually went by pretty fast; By the time 10 o'clock rolled around though, I was ready to go! I loaded my bags, picked up Brett from work and we were on the road!<br /><br />For all you Gilmore Girls fans out there, you will totally love this! I have grown up with them, so of course I had to steal their brilliant plan for Rory's 21rst birthday bash. Of course I couldn't make it all the way to Atlantic City, but we thought Vegas (and Mesquite!) were a good compromise. After all, we were due for a little vacation anyway.<br /><br />So we drove our little butts down to Mesquite where we checked in at the Oasis. We got there almost an hour before midnight Nevada time, so first things first, we decided to check in to our room. It was a muggy 102 degrees outside, so when the keys for our first room didn't work and we had to haul our stuff to the lobby and then back to a different room, I wasn't too thrilled. Ugh. I thought the manager who helped me sure took the easy way out. But once we got to our room, I was glad our keys hadn't worked!! We got lucky and ended up with a remodeled room, which was way freakin nice! A lot better than the first room we were almost stuck with...<br /><br />After getting things settled in, we decided to scope out the casino. My heart sank when the whole section of blackjack tables at one end of the casino were empty... I thought we were going to have to rush to the Virgin River, and we only had 10 1/2 minutes til midnight!!!! Crap! But, finally we walked around a bit more and found a $2 table for me to gamble away my life savings... The chinese/japanese ?? dealer was kind of a retard. She kept speaking some language that definitely was not english, so for the first ten minutes I had no idea what was going on. And I kept losing! Ugh. That does not go well with me. Finally we got a new dealer who was still chinese/japanese ?? but he at least spoke english to us and was cool. I finally started winning some back, and decided to quit while I was ahead (or at least not losing anymore...) I played 21 as I turned 21, and I felt like a freakin bamf doing it. Haha. Of course since I hadn't gambled with 21 dollars quite yet, I had to play with a few more on the slot machines (which I also lost at). I am just not a born gambler! Or maybe my magic 21 luck decided not to show up.<br /><br />At the end of the night, this is where we crashed. Not bad for 25 bucks, eh?<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231811707185568242" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxpjWWfaQRGAtX-qK5RIRa_7PQW_FzOzxIY6qm3W1L18OJrutU7iOKUWuuOVEp_zYkaB0ncZ0dHOqNOu2_v0rj-ssh0CKpHmtK0pVvPeY9kJ9v_GC6kHTt2z8qD1IRTsIAxZStbF7HZhU/s320/IMGP1413.JPG" border="0" /><br />So we woke up the next morning, drove down to Vegas and spent the whole day shopping. When we were finished I was about ready to DIE! However, we attained our goal of purchasing our "lucky" 21 items! When we finally arrived at the Rio, I was dissppointed in our "suite". Apparently last time when we were "upgraded" I guess we REALLY were, because the room we got this time was like a Circus exploded. Oh, well. It served its purpose.<br /><br />What a lovely room. :-P<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii-VdT4JvpPMSyxzcIy4G9vvmV_yIc37YuAJ2vt6VK2HV2A9lzUHHrsaYfAgtz8vYhyZqRdG4XlJjAfgPPX9E9wTUdYLkrzTrt8gAomLkBS1mnagU2G2lqbZZvrEjS_YcpBHP7unfFOCs/s1600-h/IMGP1447.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231816832715247890" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii-VdT4JvpPMSyxzcIy4G9vvmV_yIc37YuAJ2vt6VK2HV2A9lzUHHrsaYfAgtz8vYhyZqRdG4XlJjAfgPPX9E9wTUdYLkrzTrt8gAomLkBS1mnagU2G2lqbZZvrEjS_YcpBHP7unfFOCs/s320/IMGP1447.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The rest of the night seemed to get worse from there.... After checking in, we wanted to swim to cool off and the nicest pool was closed. What a bummer. And the ghetto one that was open, closed a half hour later. Lame! What hotel does that? So we scooted over to the Coke store, where we bought the sweetest "coke can" cups and of course our traditional bottles of Coke. And this time, we even got to meet the Coca Cola bear!

Well lets just say the view we got was not worth the 30 minutes it took to find a parking spot, and circle our way through the entire hotel. Not that it mattered, because the days of the cool sinking ships are over! Now the show is just a bunch of hookers dancing around for some extra cash. Cool to some, maybe, but not to me. Dinner at the end of our night, finally made things better!! We made it to the Cheesecake Factory for my real birthday dinner which was AMAZING! By the time we were done there, I was ready for bed!!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrrL1r0SCMk8hj6dvsKLbcDECgnVxJbMpfINkdc0FL0xUcdcJrggfMNHYPTDue9yB8OoFW4fcLnN6zTXHXeFj_K9deJOUW-OPTkMYrQYA9zZyA8-GseAYyM2ITreCil7SMFv1_mXp2M68/s1600-h/IMGP1444.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231816803471393714" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrrL1r0SCMk8hj6dvsKLbcDECgnVxJbMpfINkdc0FL0xUcdcJrggfMNHYPTDue9yB8OoFW4fcLnN6zTXHXeFj_K9deJOUW-OPTkMYrQYA9zZyA8-GseAYyM2ITreCil7SMFv1_mXp2M68/s320/IMGP1444.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />I don't think we had ever noticed this big Trojan Horse in Caesar's Palace.

Not everything went according to plan, but overall it was a fun birthday. And of course Brett surprised me with concert tickets to a show up in Salt Lake in a few weeks because he's awesome like that. Well, currently we are in the process of moving, which is why it's taken so long to post anything. July was so full for us! We had a dentist appointment every week, job hunt/interviews up north, my birthday in Vegas, two family reunions, a trip to Zion, etc. SO fun, but SO busy! As soon as we get things settled in up north, I'm sure we will have a lot more to talk about. Til then, peace out!Savannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15879966312487776672noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686410551909724696.post-29330715776409962232008-07-18T10:40:00.000-07:002008-07-18T11:45:11.043-07:00No More Gold Teeth!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw10agtRw1h5aI_9whPk8qY07_3Mw6maoE5NlwRS_N02O07ZQWeDiV2rTf7GKjw0N6RipjxnHnq6Tek023myOPGNGhWwfrtKtMjPFqFRtgE0fiXfhlHC2vq34FcXHZq5UdUeHjIeE5LXs/s1600-h/IMGP1401.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224411583980366114" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw10agtRw1h5aI_9whPk8qY07_3Mw6maoE5NlwRS_N02O07ZQWeDiV2rTf7GKjw0N6RipjxnHnq6Tek023myOPGNGhWwfrtKtMjPFqFRtgE0fiXfhlHC2vq34FcXHZq5UdUeHjIeE5LXs/s320/IMGP1401.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />The sad moment has finally come.... I no longer have any gold (or according to my mom, copper) teeth! I forgot to snap a picture of me with my matching goldies, but I at least remembered this time that I had to make a memory out of this one! So long, my dear, gold, friend!<br /><br /><br />After braving the dentist for the most painful appointment so far, me and Brett finally got to go to the Tuacahn! It was freakin awesome. Besides getting stuck around all the old men who smelled like the world's worst B.O., we had a lot of fun. We went for their pre-show dinner, which was delicious. (In fact, remembering how good it was is making me wish it was lunch time already!) We saw the Sound of Music which was way good. Neither one of us had been before, and we loved the outdoor theater!<br /><br /><br />If we thought we were tired the next morning (we didn't get back to Cedar til almost 1 am), we didn't know what was coming today! Ok, so we really did know, but I thought I would try to be ignorant. So after getting like 5 hours of sleep Wednesday night, I tried to sleep all day Thursday after work so I would be able to stay awake through the midnight showing of Batman. Well, even if I hadn't gotten my 3-4 hour nap in before the show, I'm sure I would have stayed wide awake! The movie was freakin awesome and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was after 3 a.m. by the time I finally got to sleep, so today I'm living off of only 3 hours.... Just thinking about it makes me yawn.... Well. That's our life in a nutshell for these past couple days. I'll post most pictures after I turn the big 21 in a couple days!! Woot Woot!

Well this last week, we finally made it!!! Since we are moving soon, and have so much going on this month, we determined that Tuesday was our only shot at trying to hike Angel's Landing. The weekend weather wasn't so hot (in fact it was kinda rainy and gross), so we were hoping that we didn't get rained out once we got to the park. Luckily it was a clear, beautiful day and we were able to enjoy getting all sweaty and feeling the burn in our legs! Here are some sweet pictures from the trip.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTC67ye3T_do8vCDcrAOfUXmJ3LWNIMms7KGO_8XXNx3yz2GIDA6-ExktktWBCNQj81GyhyphenhyphenC74y9Ax9Pi4R0PYiFTIJIOAMdFldY-TeUQcHp-_LJsa3K9iLvP7nElqKh6FzyID37WBlT0/s1600-h/IMGP1274.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224010105753702706" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTC67ye3T_do8vCDcrAOfUXmJ3LWNIMms7KGO_8XXNx3yz2GIDA6-ExktktWBCNQj81GyhyphenhyphenC74y9Ax9Pi4R0PYiFTIJIOAMdFldY-TeUQcHp-_LJsa3K9iLvP7nElqKh6FzyID37WBlT0/s320/IMGP1274.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I used to drive through Toquerville twice a week, and I don't ever remember seeing this tree. As we drove by on the way to Zion, I thought there were just a bunch of birds sitting on it, and as we got closer, I thought it was so weird that none of them were moving or flying away as cars were going by. Once I realized that they were shoes, we had gone past, but I was cracking up so bad that even though me and Brett were mid-sentence talking about something, I had to flip a U-ey to show him what was so freakin funny.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia8RyvQFYi8GJu8lGmpd4Udmm0PpOt5nineQ9SlboAWf3sQYDIVxDBdLdtyfGJg4TbRfW54HVnp6P_baKoszss2HywOU_-lUmlyWg3rpwRHizJDVlaRwjdpWJNJFF4UrzulMv4F8SNdkQ/s1600-h/IMGP1286.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224010144564230146" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia8RyvQFYi8GJu8lGmpd4Udmm0PpOt5nineQ9SlboAWf3sQYDIVxDBdLdtyfGJg4TbRfW54HVnp6P_baKoszss2HywOU_-lUmlyWg3rpwRHizJDVlaRwjdpWJNJFF4UrzulMv4F8SNdkQ/s320/IMGP1286.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I told you we meet a new friend everytime we go hiking!

We went into the same cave that I had already been in, so we were done with that pretty quick. It was the world's hottest day that day, so we just snapped some more awesome pictures of the red rock before we split. We ended up going to the St. George pool for like an hour to cool off in the water and to kill time before I had to get my root canal. We need to do that more often! I hope some day we are rich enough to have a pool in our backyard down there... Ha! Ya right.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkKQmWWGaLG4XuzIqcXRpV7LOQ6BgnqZ7nZpbjNI195roR0BF3led_55oYAYaYLji6zmSGwlRfYMe3VDfnua1nCqTjy9IjkVnYXFGpUuv23HixMz0YP84m9M_zUbmc7Xn0kaSgol0AOKA/s1600-h/IMGP1248.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223659795588652434" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkKQmWWGaLG4XuzIqcXRpV7LOQ6BgnqZ7nZpbjNI195roR0BF3led_55oYAYaYLji6zmSGwlRfYMe3VDfnua1nCqTjy9IjkVnYXFGpUuv23HixMz0YP84m9M_zUbmc7Xn0kaSgol0AOKA/s320/IMGP1248.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />I love how you can have the black lava rocks everywhere, and then you turn around and it's nothing but these big beautiful red mountains!

We decided that since we are moving, it's now or never! In high school, I was in the Sound of Music, and both of us and our families loved the movie growing up, so it worked out perfectly that they are showing it this summer down there. Since we were already clear out at Snow Canyon, we decided to go buy our tickets. This rock formation on that drive reminded us of the Fiery Furnace at Arches.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVsoCkFVOVv6khSLRpGxL79pVaUKJyTSeyUc3WsltK99ijujjiNSZ9OigldQexLzQ56dk4px6-Hy3n7s1u8nunmx8bDR6tPgFkSvr-kqbUAwuTM09W58yf75hqKVf9OnN5dUG7I6stw0g/s1600-h/IMGP1254.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223659813567151394" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVsoCkFVOVv6khSLRpGxL79pVaUKJyTSeyUc3WsltK99ijujjiNSZ9OigldQexLzQ56dk4px6-Hy3n7s1u8nunmx8bDR6tPgFkSvr-kqbUAwuTM09W58yf75hqKVf9OnN5dUG7I6stw0g/s320/IMGP1254.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />The light was a little better that day than when I had been with my friends before, so we got a few really good pictures which captured the bright red-ness of it all.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGj6_XfXVAjYnOhdBx84BQsJZG9hhHxC_cJnpc0RBNEISz5Xm2w0JdRhefvxRkZ7qrHHYUYBhxtHNM66XbZCr-dEBhz5OMIquAiFaZ2mEbld-epR0_o2lVfXpv2dZjB7GHVFCN3cbglpw/s1600-h/IMGP1244.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223657592665447810" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGj6_XfXVAjYnOhdBx84BQsJZG9hhHxC_cJnpc0RBNEISz5Xm2w0JdRhefvxRkZ7qrHHYUYBhxtHNM66XbZCr-dEBhz5OMIquAiFaZ2mEbld-epR0_o2lVfXpv2dZjB7GHVFCN3cbglpw/s320/IMGP1244.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYxVswJdNpZEalwUjUdCJ1IF_1mYNNkOpsSLR3mocFC4tUKbn-Xs9_0xP3DwClqOdEGmUNfzLGKJ1jZn3I-4fyNzKFX3Of_7lFU8n_uFLCze7LF41bro_x4OX46lsvMfAPNXVGIVV-1xs/s1600-h/IMGP1242.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223657585840375170" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYxVswJdNpZEalwUjUdCJ1IF_1mYNNkOpsSLR3mocFC4tUKbn-Xs9_0xP3DwClqOdEGmUNfzLGKJ1jZn3I-4fyNzKFX3Of_7lFU8n_uFLCze7LF41bro_x4OX46lsvMfAPNXVGIVV-1xs/s320/IMGP1242.JPG" border="0" /></a>Here are some of Brett making the crazy climb out of the cave.

While the food is pretty fantastic, the service sucked at Texas Roadhouse once again, but we tried to make the best of it. In honor of the new Batman coming out soon, we decided to watch the first one (since I have yet to see it all the way through) after dinner at Brent's house. After that was all said and done, we were pooped, so went straight home! But not before getting this awesome picture of the moon and the temple. Brent lives just down the street from it, so walking to our car, this caught our eye. Or, eyes, I guess.... :-)<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6XOx7vu8ZFMJX7TCGkkKFZ0icafxIEvH0e8JtVD88hoVd6CQSE3wb8Z2HpdhjLnPIPs1erbSTDzXSy6YZNwaP_aUxwOW_Jy3psCzBZNCIrm0tLI-yI4fHA5G-bwdlQml0WLjBnSivV8Q/s1600-h/IMGP1273.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223659825743297474" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6XOx7vu8ZFMJX7TCGkkKFZ0icafxIEvH0e8JtVD88hoVd6CQSE3wb8Z2HpdhjLnPIPs1erbSTDzXSy6YZNwaP_aUxwOW_Jy3psCzBZNCIrm0tLI-yI4fHA5G-bwdlQml0WLjBnSivV8Q/s320/IMGP1273.JPG" border="0" /></a>Savannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15879966312487776672noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686410551909724696.post-36876676547212725282008-07-07T15:20:00.000-07:002008-07-16T10:16:26.142-07:00Pondering in the wake of a lightening storm<div>So, I just felt like posting something today, because the past few days have been kinda fun. Last night me and Brett were able to go to the park for dinner (even though it was kinda cloudy and had rained earlier). We were able to try out my amazing new Alfredo recipie (thanks Missy!) which was quite delicious if I do say so myself, and then we layed on the grass and watched the clouds go by. I must say that life does not leave much time to do such fun and simple things anymore. It's kind of sad when you think of what we are all missing because of our busy schedules. We are going to have to MAKE more time in the future to keep going to the park, because every time we have lately, I've loved it. Maybe next time we will actually get to just read our books together and chill out. As we were driving back to my house as the sun was setting and nightfall was approaching, I kept seeing the coolest lighning at the south side of town and kind of over Leigh (Lay) (Lei) Hill. I made Brett pull over in SUU's stadium parking lot so we could just sit and watch it for awhile. It was so awesome! We were able to just kick back and reflect on what life is going to be like after we are married. For those of you who aren't in the loop, we are getting married next Spring. I think we are pretty much settling with May 15, and I'm so freakin excited. Whenever people find out that we are engaged, the first thing they ask is "When's the big day?", and then they proceed to tell me how ridiculous it is that I'm waiting a year. "How are you gonna be able to wait that long?" "Oh, no! You might mess up" or just "What in the world are you thinking??". It has been one of my biggest pet peeves, because I don't think it is anybody's freaking business but mine. People should just save their freakin judgements for themselves. I think people who have dated for a month, engaged for three, and then rush into marriage are retarded, so PAH! There's to you! No, but really, I am excited that even though 10 months is still pretty far in the future, we are starting to figure things out now. I kept bugging Brett all night to help me figure out what we are going to wear in our engagement pictures. I think we chose a photographer, which means we will be doing our engagements pretty freakin soon! I'm so excited. For over the last year I have collected ideas and changed my mind about so many little details, that I can't wait to LITERALLY plan this freakin thing. It makes me all giddy inside, and hopefully I can hold onto that and not let the stress monster out. Anywho, I guess I'll keep you posted as things keep unfolding down here in Festival City, USA.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCgs5JqFeoKvtWh5b4wTblZAOIi4ET7BgAOPRcZeIhdqXZfKotqA1WOOzBDoq6XsoAD5SrzcOvO-eLG7wU8Jwu7fid00eHE9sJEInTATHf0Lcfb3lTa7Bu65-pCwhvHJdWKK-ro9h5n8A/s1600-h/IMGP1207.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223661753489073266" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCgs5JqFeoKvtWh5b4wTblZAOIi4ET7BgAOPRcZeIhdqXZfKotqA1WOOzBDoq6XsoAD5SrzcOvO-eLG7wU8Jwu7fid00eHE9sJEInTATHf0Lcfb3lTa7Bu65-pCwhvHJdWKK-ro9h5n8A/s320/IMGP1207.JPG" border="0" /></a>Here is a crazy picture I got of the sprinklers on SUU's lawn as I was trying to take a sweet picture of the moon that night....</div>Savannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15879966312487776672noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686410551909724696.post-42481819197976609532008-07-03T09:31:00.000-07:002008-07-07T14:16:30.968-07:00Hot Springs AdventureBecause I am so lazy, these pictures are not in the best order.... One day I will get it right, but until then, I will just have to stifle my anal-retentive, OCD tendencies. Anywho. Here are some pictures from our most recent trip up north. We took a few days off of work so we could go to Warped Tour in Salt Lake, which was pretty awesome! Because of our bad luck with cameras at the last big show we went to, I just took pictures with my disposable camera, so the pictures from Warped will come up later... As for now, these ones are of Me, Brett, Antonio, Sarah and Natalie (aka the gang) on our last excursion up Spanish Fork Canyon. This one turned out to be a real adventure. Read on...<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218830178879286834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdSNN5POaqIZurZIawNiyAjyln4msbFT3TdlJ0KH5Cgx7U-9YawXbaA57PWD1gs_5L63Nf_2e7-Z80qOO38KlbDeZGfkl0kGsKx0oUJ9OBNcX6Scmj1rD4DO3Ab2r5dMyDlsCjfwNt4hI/s320/IMGP1104.JPG" border="0" /> Chillin in the car.

We left Sarah's house mid-afternoon and figured we had plenty of time to do what we needed to before going up the canyon. We went to Macey's and bought some hot dogs and treats, and things to make a fire for our dinner. After driving through the canyon a little ways, we got up to a nice spot where we found a campsite to start our fire... We spent quite awhile there roasting our hot dogs and relaxing while we just sat and enjoyed ourselves.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgncGnpW3FVP5XxFJ0abUIqT0Hsu5fWisbYpT1UPyl8sYNTELSUfrvmS7FkTVjZNGEJuCaDCHPQ-23dogMFpW1c14K21Ts27IIdpBK5KyaTdWxuZ4begIKsJNLc3JexjBfg_uBHYYiXy2w/s1600-h/IMGP1148.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218830185318564338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZH2oxKBsc9qp0aaqHTcbNzVhjjr_exP3uQjteRhYMNoIcQb7GrZL_7t9yzrTQLE2GPbz9KCtSTISrBRQnjHVucRXbaFsfkf-qVZVx3uuc49WaCIqUebEFS3dwKvc3OnZQg3FsB9bv-WM/s320/IMGP1106.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Antonio and Natalie, getting our fire started...<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218830191240703682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEp1XKZz_l07A1J8CZz3nWdwcrAxosDAt0Qm-K_tA9D2PIWK0_dSlgmp0IaFq_9fo76y6enyCI0CIEzlsoF-yXSVBplmf_0IrYBijmuzMbiM-0YDaePI94to0_sPwuCER4avetUiR2H18/s320/IMGP1108.JPG" border="0" /><br />Cool shades, girlfriend!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghvMcLHzzaLVkjFn_zE-IMUHgCS3KYn6Os4h-l32zJyGsytBw43k3Ut4zMm83Nlki0E7sZab40CwJst3gy1iwPdh9ceWOn2FpgBeCX8GvnnhTRoX0L7UlqGqxLAaobGQ_GY_dS0sszflo/s1600-h/IMGP1157.JPG"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwtua7tj3wz2Iw2vU5zvEepr4PNF9X7JLDZNoH-1hiLjt0sq_bsjbSyIRyS3PEs7PUjn7ZWtRT7oYGuF8HhHw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></a><br /><br />Natalie kept throwing her diaper wipes off the table and onto the ground, and she was giggling SO much, it was freakin adorable.

Since none of us but Sarah had ever been to this place, we weren't quite sure where to find it. It didn't take us too long before we got there, but by then it was probably around 7 or 7:30 at night, and we had a good hour or longer hike...</p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218833275096700802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgncGnpW3FVP5XxFJ0abUIqT0Hsu5fWisbYpT1UPyl8sYNTELSUfrvmS7FkTVjZNGEJuCaDCHPQ-23dogMFpW1c14K21Ts27IIdpBK5KyaTdWxuZ4begIKsJNLc3JexjBfg_uBHYYiXy2w/s320/IMGP1148.JPG" border="0" /></p><p>Here's a cute shot of Natalie cuddling up to Antonio.

My parents had already told me and Brett that a lot of skinny dippers have been known to frequent the area, so we were fully warned. Sarah told us though that they are mostly hippies and weird people, but Antonio kept joking all night that he was so excited for the naked people. Once we got to this bridge, there was no denying it. "Nude Bathers at Springs". Oooh.

It was getting close to 9 o' clock. There was a small group of people who were leaving just as we got there, so we had the place all to ourselves! There was this huge waterfall which blew me away! It was so pretty, it was the first thing I had to check out!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218834286405180034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmt34kyD7eSdO0_F73L4v-dZITReptWPq_GeiFRKkIeO9sL_tcPvowrPJbWs2tlBtkW-OzEf9qOJo60nkxq96q0WqEZJS4Hjv4oVBHOfS7s06Xd_3P1U4abV8rZ73tJwdt2gGWLh4mix8/s320/IMGP1200.JPG" border="0" /></p><p>Me and Brett had fun climbing up the slippery rocks behind the waterfall, and sitting in the little cranny between the rocks and the water. It was SO cool! Not to mention, it was the perfect makeout spot. :-) <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218834263353447490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgFZZlq1RtMB078NXhGp76s8vV-1X8FfBuXlQ18QlBkF2hZthE3acSt9CDP5BpV4vv2UeD29jmFwrg-7B2cxNmRvnD8JjPyvgJzOEY26_CqJtoC2rb7QshTF7TCaBONu6q7ms-z3Z5DpA/s320/IMGP1194.JPG" border="0" />Here are some pictures of the actual hot springs! And boy, were they hot! There were a few cooler spots, but for the most part we were toasty warm! They were freaking pretty, but they smelled really bad (aparently like Sulphur--however you spell that). It was worth it to sit and relax for a minute though.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218834271664019698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIbdpxwHAALem-WLQ0SRmpEmq-IL0GEZCX1ZqQQXG8Debapk5TNijIln0Ze7E9eMPQn1a6mOdzRPi6KaSjgmeH3-_GSxC0V-GKELHjovFSq6HrlP0HPWwRSYa7b6c2twoYEDzK9PCXmkw/s320/IMGP1195.JPG" border="0" /></p><p>The adventure back down the trail was the most thrilling part of our night. When we finally sat in the springs, it was getting dark, and I thought I saw a trace of clouds starting to come over the mountain towards us, but didn't really think much of it. That is, until we heard a loud thunderboom and it started getting even darker. We tried to stay just a minute longer, but once we saw lighting, we were out of that water pretty quick. We threw our clothes over our wet swimsuits, just in time for it to start pouring rain. The drops were huge, and by then it was totally dark, so we were freakin out a little bit. We thought the trail was going to be washed out, and there were some pretty scary parts where the trail was very narrow and the drop down toward the river was steep. Oh, and did I mention that we only had one TINY flashlight for all five of us? Yeah, so it was quite a trip. Fortunately the rain stopped pouring and it only sprinkled most of the way down. Once Antonio stopped trying to freak us out by telling us people were gonna pop out of the woods to kill us, we were able to make enough conversation to make the trip down pretty fast. It had taken us almost 2 hours to hike up, but coming down was only about an hour. Once we got to the car, we sure were glad! The rest of the night was much less eventful and we made it down the canyon just fine.</p><p></p><p></p>Savannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15879966312487776672noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686410551909724696.post-32644103802096760382008-07-03T08:24:00.000-07:002008-07-05T10:24:11.437-07:00The NarrowsOne of the hikes that we have been dying to do at Zion is The Narrows. Well, we finally decided we will NEVER be in the shape of our lives, so we will just have to try and endure through our sore legs, tirednesss and panting because some things in life are just worth it! It was around 100 degrees the day we went, and the park was PACKED! We have never seen it so full! We were kind of annoyed because we had to park in town and hike just to get into the park to take the shuttle. Oh well... We had been debating between doing Angel's Landing or the Narrows, and we figured that since it was so hot and later in the day, we might be better off getting in the water. Boy were we glad we made that choice! Once we got in the water, we felt perfect!!! The heat of the day didn't even phase us. It was AMAZING! By far, it was my favorite hike<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxBXycDbwToNoy3nebsblmvsPwju9GgdVOjLqFt0vFLM7hTCQExTecbCFAx5LOdqG4Nzd7yjRO6pA6dnNgqRmpXvm_iohj0A0p4ybvUYcTdt7jIXqq1Ss_qU_oc6-EY8NvrcTahCPd5lA/s1600-h/IMGP1056.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218820599083157554" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxBXycDbwToNoy3nebsblmvsPwju9GgdVOjLqFt0vFLM7hTCQExTecbCFAx5LOdqG4Nzd7yjRO6pA6dnNgqRmpXvm_iohj0A0p4ybvUYcTdt7jIXqq1Ss_qU_oc6-EY8NvrcTahCPd5lA/s320/IMGP1056.JPG" border="0" /></a>. We got a kick out of some of the cute little old people who had their walking sticks in the water for balance. We just had each other for balance, which worked. However, there was one point where I decided to fight the river and it took me DOWN! Snaps. I got all the way soaked, but hey, you win some, you lose some.

We had just finished hiking and were waiting for the shuttle to pick us back up, and I saw a cool tree. So, I lean up against a little fence to take a picture, and as I'm finishing and backing up from the fence, Brett screams like a girl cuz he see's a snake. We did a little "up-close-and-personal" investigation, but backed off again pretty quick when we realized the little guy had a rattle on the end of his tail. Brett joked that it was our second near-death experience in just a few days, because we had just gotten in a car accident a couple nights before. Who doesn't love a little excitement in their lives? <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixGuSraQMkrPO4GRV4MUOr5K5jUQH9S3xwZbgFJWRiFo-J9QqbGoqUFEQBm2NV-WOPdnL09WMmNJpTXjcabGMwTyoAU2XbxYSLKXaHGG2tIbwruNsvbYznqoauFhgiaHISD6z5p3pim3g/s1600-h/IMGP1076.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219576716043150338" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixGuSraQMkrPO4GRV4MUOr5K5jUQH9S3xwZbgFJWRiFo-J9QqbGoqUFEQBm2NV-WOPdnL09WMmNJpTXjcabGMwTyoAU2XbxYSLKXaHGG2tIbwruNsvbYznqoauFhgiaHISD6z5p3pim3g/s320/IMGP1076.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihnahmdAFXvqXKg9-Qof1xo66mh8KnzVYPyWOn7spEMpubOcX51zLvUcfjnwVitmYhlxIyywR_f8QGS0VKneRJiJMQVrlJpmVliFtkVG4nb-MqO8YftCEYmJgakzgKwFWIeCxdwQcRDis/s1600-h/IMGP1082.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218820622162752882" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihnahmdAFXvqXKg9-Qof1xo66mh8KnzVYPyWOn7spEMpubOcX51zLvUcfjnwVitmYhlxIyywR_f8QGS0VKneRJiJMQVrlJpmVliFtkVG4nb-MqO8YftCEYmJgakzgKwFWIeCxdwQcRDis/s320/IMGP1082.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /> At the end of the day, we took the drive through the famous tunnel to HWY 89, and went up to Duck Creek to visit Brett's grandparents. We had a fun time playing "Zilch", despite the fact that Brett's Grandpa Grant has us beat every, single time! As we were leaving, we caught a glimpse of the moon which was HUGE!!! I was freakin out because I love when there is a pretty, full moon! It's amazing! This one wasn't next to the ocean, but the pine trees in the background sure made it beautiful anyway.Savannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15879966312487776672noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686410551909724696.post-8839426216036842312008-07-03T07:44:00.000-07:002008-07-05T09:00:28.038-07:00Provo Friends in St. GeorgeIn the beginning of June, some of my good friends from high school decided to road trip down to see me and begin the first of our many adventures together. Their arrival in town was far from perfect; Sarah got a ticket for speeding just outside of town from one of our Cedar City nazis and we were all up til after 3:30 in the morning trying to get their sleeping arrangements worked out (in the meantine we woke up my annoying roomate). However, the rest of the weekend was like something straight out of Mary Poppins. Practically perfect in every way. These pictures tell our tale in no particular order....<br /><br /><div align="center">CEDAR BREAKS</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Of course, me and my little schemes, wanted to get up to Cedar Breaks in time to see the sunset, because I've heard it's amazing. Well, we got up there in time, but I missed the perfect sunset overlook picture because I was too impatient to wait at one overlook and had to take the just too long drive to the next overlook. Who knew the sunset lasts only about 30 seconds!? So, Antonio got a few pretty pictures of the setting sun, but not with the famous amphitheater in the background... Oh well. Maybe next time. It was only 40 degrees outside, and our light jackets were not doing justice. We drove down the mountain a little ways and had a campfire at Woods Ranch. Our fire was pretty wimpy, but it was still big enough to roast us some weinies and s'mores. </div><div align="center"></div><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrMHYHpQhotgShAt4ZyGoY79GcAuspsdHKRlMg7nMqCVI5OxqLW4wABYdL02wlXQnhNlJI9hApdyV5rpYq8QE3woq2TQcAoixZgdRHjdiIqUbIGI8Rfw8uBCXntb9tVGdiJP3cOF4gxHg/s1600-h/IMGP0800.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218862415800559122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrMHYHpQhotgShAt4ZyGoY79GcAuspsdHKRlMg7nMqCVI5OxqLW4wABYdL02wlXQnhNlJI9hApdyV5rpYq8QE3woq2TQcAoixZgdRHjdiIqUbIGI8Rfw8uBCXntb9tVGdiJP3cOF4gxHg/s320/IMGP0800.JPG" border="0" /></a> We saw loads of deer this trip!

Since we didn't come very prepared, we were only able to go into one little cave a little bit to get some pictures. That didn't stop us from having a good time, though. Natalie (aka Mae Mae), Sarah's little girl, got a huge kick out of playing in the red sand with me up in a little nook in the slot canyon. She was quite the explorer! And just driving by all the big, beautiful, red mountains was amazing! After that we were hot and tired, so we ate at Chilis then basically went home to bed. One day of the trip, Brett had to work, but me, Sarah, Kyle, Antonio and Natalie went back to Snow Canyon, this time, prepared. We brought flashlights, frozen water, glow sticks and food. Some of these pictures are of us in the big cave we explored.<br /></p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218862437767135250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgsPoMjdg31fm7TvxLWP_f8-Z3nFjaVCisN4Yj0xxKFaMpUPV_nGABFuyzVRQdu-9FzX_1_QBXEY2AjZ0v0V-qARquZ6Lb9L0MOCzddQO7a0gUcWpZNZ9eGVLEU4haBEw-3KvIXDWape0/s320/P1000283.JPG" border="0" /> Me doing some serious cave climbing</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI5icuJru_LX3wEnQO6armTcNC9APot2FVVOk3_Ip2lndeF6SRVu46Qs6adsPxMz0dio2v2hgEuJLBF0Hy-6Fd5Jy7kvEmpMX8JSQeeVWQIV5qgGL0F12A08pRgwkGxONz4P1CpHr8YXA/s1600-h/P1000284.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218862444990683586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI5icuJru_LX3wEnQO6armTcNC9APot2FVVOk3_Ip2lndeF6SRVu46Qs6adsPxMz0dio2v2hgEuJLBF0Hy-6Fd5Jy7kvEmpMX8JSQeeVWQIV5qgGL0F12A08pRgwkGxONz4P1CpHr8YXA/s320/P1000284.JPG" border="0" /></a> Just explorin a little....<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMvxd5s8Py6spUNhROva4AM6k6m5YehK0F68YdPYDKbQ1_xYRwKyl32cRGCtOalH1hpF8SeTBpPQ8PWzdWBZZq55tfTdwQET8uUJNzBjBx_NXE4xLlVqb7FIrgBDBR9E__tv7srHZpo4o/s1600-h/IMGP0702.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218854416055654706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMvxd5s8Py6spUNhROva4AM6k6m5YehK0F68YdPYDKbQ1_xYRwKyl32cRGCtOalH1hpF8SeTBpPQ8PWzdWBZZq55tfTdwQET8uUJNzBjBx_NXE4xLlVqb7FIrgBDBR9E__tv7srHZpo4o/s320/IMGP0702.JPG" border="0" /></a>Brett just always has to be a goof.

I stopped in Milford on the way, to hang out with Brett and his family for a little bit. (I was completely clueless as to how the rest of the night was going to turn out.) Brett rode home to Cedar with me later that night, and once we got to my house, he wouldn't let me unload my car. "I was told that you had a big surprise present waiting for you inside, so you can't bring everything in yet..." I totally should have seen it coming, but instead I'm like "Yes! Something too big to fit in the car, like a snowboard or something!" I walk into the house, and taped to my closed bedroom door is a note: <br /><br />" Baby, I've missed you so much while you've been gone! I hate having a Christmas without you. But Christmas isn't over yet, and neither are the surprises and presents. I still have a few things to give you! I love you. Now for starters, go open the fridge!"<br /><br />I still didn't realize what was going on at this point, because Brett always surprises me with cute little love notes in random places and little presents once in awhile. So I go to the fridge to find a bottle of apple cider all wrapped up with another note:<br /><br />"Christmas is about memories. This Christmas let's toast to us and all the amazing memories we've had this past year. We've had so many, big and small. One of my favorites is that night we began. I thought you were so beautiful from the moment I met you, something that hasn't changed in the past year. I loved how my arms felt around you that night at the Hinder show. Then there is New Years last year when I told you that I love you. The first time we kissed in the rain. And even some recent ones that I'll never forget. Like our ice show in the kitchen. You should go pro, baby. And all the surprises and fun you gave me on my birthday. And how we just started dancing to a slow Christmas song in the kitchen one night. So a toast to memories and the hope that this Christmas night, time will stand still so I can enjoy your presence as long as possible tonight. I love you. There's something waiting for you on your end table."<br /><br />Yes, he called it an end table... Silly boy. Haha. By this time, I was a little suspicious (and getting a little teary eyed) so I go into my room to find some candles on my night stand with another note.<br /><br />"What's Christmas without lights? Candles remind me of your eyes. The flicker of the fire just catches your attention and sometimes you just can't look at anything else. Your eyes are the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. So big and blue, and you can see the happiness in them. They were the first thing I noticed when I met you. I could stare into them for days. I hope our kids get lucky enough to have their mother's amazing eyes. So this Christmas let's light some candles and cuddle together and watch them flicker... I think there's a surprise for you in your Santa stocking!"<br /><br />So I run to a stocking I have hung on the wall above my desk, all excited to finally get my ring! But when I pull the ring box out and open it, there is just another note inside... <br /><br />"One of the best things about Christmas is giving. There's so many things I wish I could give you if I had the money. But I can give you love forever and a promise to care for you for the rest of our lives. Baby, I want to give you something and I want you to give me something. Your hand. Turn around baby."<br /><br />So I turn around, near bawling at this point (I know, I'm such a freakin baby), and Brett gets down on his knee with the real ring box and ring, and asks me to marry him. It was the most amazing proposal in the world... It matched everything about him and me and our relationship so far. I said yes, (duh). I was so excited to finally get to wear my pretty ring!(And to marry the man of my dreams, of course!) These pictures don't do it justice. I can't figure out why it's not very photogenic, but oh well. Here it is!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYRcHgQlTS4KDfiG-U5VUUpSMrl3_8TXm6YmZjE4OAMe0C25ZTmRmGu4MCmCjfxyQf0KrBEXNuTVHL1UjYMnpcMNevehj4weijxw7QMB-svDj9evfcT0xWd9N5pwunonA8IGRYL41SBxc/s1600-h/christmas+(36).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYRcHgQlTS4KDfiG-U5VUUpSMrl3_8TXm6YmZjE4OAMe0C25ZTmRmGu4MCmCjfxyQf0KrBEXNuTVHL1UjYMnpcMNevehj4weijxw7QMB-svDj9evfcT0xWd9N5pwunonA8IGRYL41SBxc/s320/christmas+(36).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214470156205407650" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCFm-Ywm7Pvw18dYEVkT1gjH57gzBSsQeheE6c6p01-K3JzFk34Kxom02ryNxthXWl27fzIRD8kUZB1PyqKjkVQrzCom8fXdX1qPY25IPsrB9e9e5Fc5W6lcVO1i7Q8yz8GQj14mI2m54/s1600-h/christmas+(22).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCFm-Ywm7Pvw18dYEVkT1gjH57gzBSsQeheE6c6p01-K3JzFk34Kxom02ryNxthXWl27fzIRD8kUZB1PyqKjkVQrzCom8fXdX1qPY25IPsrB9e9e5Fc5W6lcVO1i7Q8yz8GQj14mI2m54/s320/christmas+(22).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214469903188910914" /></a>Savannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15879966312487776672noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686410551909724696.post-43407522818365910832008-06-21T15:12:00.000-07:002008-06-21T16:51:56.502-07:00Big Ass Show AKA The Fiasco... and Emily's weddingIn October, one of my best friends, Emily, got married! It just so happened to be the same weekend as the Big Ass Show in Salt Lake, so we had quite an eventful weekend. I was a bridesmaid in the wedding, so Brett was stuck hanging out with me at the reception all night. Of course he didn't mind, though, because he and Skyler (Emily's husband) are buddies now. Here are some pictures from that. <br /> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy4l-cdi_ebikYhT0nYXiH1HP8eBWWABi2kPLNLaCe1kulo9lv_yzv5CV-k9xYo4Myehc0FJDUpJSUK7tgSb2SNhhNMzQfA3fMqIgbZc3Q7AZ4PzhrhhN6EbZiXMaiH5aKTU0Mr8vXyPQ/s1600-h/emily's+wedding+and+big+ass+show+012.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy4l-cdi_ebikYhT0nYXiH1HP8eBWWABi2kPLNLaCe1kulo9lv_yzv5CV-k9xYo4Myehc0FJDUpJSUK7tgSb2SNhhNMzQfA3fMqIgbZc3Q7AZ4PzhrhhN6EbZiXMaiH5aKTU0Mr8vXyPQ/s320/emily's+wedding+and+big+ass+show+012.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214465810319329234" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVYccMdOCa1BDmHi8z8B0DSFF6fsSahN-7WWXadDg8U7VdMUWfIplDfg_Fj1pDpYnLeGJS-9_K0NJO2lmaF537jMSriigH3wPEd2NNEJZogMyV_CCiSExCGYrLKVkjnPXsqO2p9RBsjBc/s1600-h/emily's+wedding+and+big+ass+show+008.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVYccMdOCa1BDmHi8z8B0DSFF6fsSahN-7WWXadDg8U7VdMUWfIplDfg_Fj1pDpYnLeGJS-9_K0NJO2lmaF537jMSriigH3wPEd2NNEJZogMyV_CCiSExCGYrLKVkjnPXsqO2p9RBsjBc/s320/emily's+wedding+and+big+ass+show+008.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214465628660509410" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQpfZruULHyFGzRxe7InnmwdudUGFIhS_5zC-RCrjENKvshNOkh9DEOEitPpSOPiZhNZMQdbEW5hdgopojqRY0cDDMatvSz5wvqnBTYXgAWMFksP_ry3Nqa_dK1GhuRDO-W8mT9S2u8QA/s1600-h/emily's+wedding+and+big+ass+show+003.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQpfZruULHyFGzRxe7InnmwdudUGFIhS_5zC-RCrjENKvshNOkh9DEOEitPpSOPiZhNZMQdbEW5hdgopojqRY0cDDMatvSz5wvqnBTYXgAWMFksP_ry3Nqa_dK1GhuRDO-W8mT9S2u8QA/s320/emily's+wedding+and+big+ass+show+003.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214465366548531218" /></a><br /><br />The Big Ass Show was freakin awesome. We had fun rocking out to some of our favorite bands. Sum 41 played again and it was all good and well until I got in the middle of a crazy mosh pit, and lost my camera. Well, technically it was my sisters camera. I had borrowed it to get better pictures at Emily's wedding and the show because I had plans to use them in a gift I was making for Brett for Christmas... Anywho, the camera flew right out of my pocket, so, for the rest of that show I was in the middle of a million crazy people trying to find the camera everywhere on the ground. I completely missed the rest of Sum 41's set, and a few other really good bands I wanted to rock out to. I was so pissed at myself. Since we didn't find it anywhere after the whole event was over, I put a "missing item" ad for it online. A few days later I got a text saying it was found. Boy was I freakin relieved... Sum 41 almost wouldn't have been the same anymore if things would have turned out different. Good thing it all worked out....<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhyz3vd3-Z17g0HAktKXU6tVcNRpvy17LW_m2uTu0Z6luRZtJkwAZR3d5PrAcpb19kP83RaarH49JMD3pg1Xv4cK4TiJGExgqK2-CPXXriqb1j4_rt_QR0YcrAgaKcLOCEg94yIYVxs_s/s1600-h/emily's+wedding+and+big+ass+show+018.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhyz3vd3-Z17g0HAktKXU6tVcNRpvy17LW_m2uTu0Z6luRZtJkwAZR3d5PrAcpb19kP83RaarH49JMD3pg1Xv4cK4TiJGExgqK2-CPXXriqb1j4_rt_QR0YcrAgaKcLOCEg94yIYVxs_s/s320/emily's+wedding+and+big+ass+show+018.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214465071488358386" /></a><br /><br />Us all sweaty after getting crazy at one show.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiugC_lr71BIAPz7-Bd7046W57nGGxUkLYFtKs5t2DHR3N_opUBBoy8aQhHjT-CMPZVR3909x37INYrsP28466nJOE7Gp2EFXn6_4awOYpvoI7rQpymlFt-F1RNVsvMDDcPuEAYdq_IV8U/s1600-h/emily's+wedding+and+big+ass+show+016.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiugC_lr71BIAPz7-Bd7046W57nGGxUkLYFtKs5t2DHR3N_opUBBoy8aQhHjT-CMPZVR3909x37INYrsP28466nJOE7Gp2EFXn6_4awOYpvoI7rQpymlFt-F1RNVsvMDDcPuEAYdq_IV8U/s320/emily's+wedding+and+big+ass+show+016.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214464139572337346" /></a><br /><br />Brett and his brother, Jared.
