I am sooooo Tired!

I thought I'd take a quick second before I go to bed and let everyone know that I'm still alive and well (for the most part). It is now 2 am and I just finished a big Political Science assignment. So if anyone wants to learn about the differences and similarities between Liberal and Realistic political theories, let me know and I'll send you an essay....ugh! I guess my biggest obstacle this semester has been finding time to study. I love how college professors think that theirs is the only class in the world and that they can assign 200 pages a week of reading to do.... So, I have that plus chemistry and math (my favorite) to look forward every day. But it's all for a good cause. I'll be a veterinarian some day and that rocks! I'm tired so I gotta bounce! Best wishes and love to everyone!

Summer of 2008

Well since I'm so behind on my blogging I decided to just blog about our summer as a whole. Since there was so much we did this summer I'll just do a little about each. Our summer consisted mostly of me being in the pool all day teaching swimming lessons and Matt going to school and washing windows. When we could we would always try to get out and enjoy the great out doors. One of our first trips was going down to Moab for a night and going hiking and four wheeling with our dogs.

We went to Moab in about May. This is one of our favorite camp spots by this arch. It's called prostitute butte, don't ask me why.

Matt is obsessed with 4 wheeling so that is what we spent most of our time doing.

Really the best part was hiking Nigro Bill Canyon (and yes that is what it is really called). This canyon had a river running down it the whole hike and so it was really pretty and refreshing for both us and the dogs.

You can't see it very well but at the end of the two miles there is a beautiful natural bridge. The only bad thing was there was poison ivy everywhere at the bottom! And we had to turn around and walk back another two miles. It was a blast though.

We also went to Strawberry with Tim and Nikki. It was so much fun! We spent most of our time fishing and trying to get Dixie to stop swimming out and biting our fishing bobbers.

Dixie the little devil!

Hiking Provo Falls with the fam.

Matt swimming in the snow water.

CALIFORNIA! We helped Matt's friend move to California to go to USC for dental school. So we took advantage and went to Universal Studios..

Hell Boy where we got these awesome free T-shirts..

And the beach of course! It was the best vacation all year! Except we really miss our best friends!

This summer I was finally made an aunt!

I'm the proudest aunt ever! Look how stinkin cute!

Camping at Wolf Creek. It was an awesome camping spot minus the sheep baaaing (if that's what you would call it) all night and the dogs walking all over us in our tent while we were sleeping.

Our awesome camping dogs. Dixie ate so much sheep poo that she threw up. It was pretty nasty.

Backpacking in Tony Grove! Yes we drove two hours up to Logan to go backpacking. But look at the view! It rained all night long but the next morning was breath taking!

There is a beautiful lake there that we went fishing in. We didn't catch anything because we were too busy trying to keep our dog Meg from rolling in the dead fish on the ground. We were too late so it was a very stinky ride home!

My 21st birthday! Finally, now I can gamble! Just kidding..

And then camping in the west desert with Matt's parents.

There is nothing for miles! So it's a great place for shooting and even blowing things up.

Oh and we can't forget the antelope on the way home. I felt like I was in Africa!

So I think that is pretty much our summer in a nutshell. It looks like we did a good job at keeping ourselves pretty busy! We're sad the summer is over and that we're back in school and back to work, but bring it on winter!
