Utah State Aggies!!

So the first week of school has come and gone! We are so busy and hardly see each other, but we're still having fun. I finally landed a job at the Anniversary Inn, and I love it. I work until 9 about four nights a week, which is keeping me busy. They are letting me go to all of Jared's games, and I can do my homework there.. so it's pretty nice. Jared is constantly going going going, with school and basketball. Just the other day they made him get up and run 2 miles at 7:30 in the morning-- he finished 3rd on the team in like 11 minutes... that's so amazing to me, it would've probably taken me a half hour.. haha. Now he just works out and has to attend all these meetings and stuff. Jeremy, Jared's friend, has been living at our house for a week now, and I think Jared enjoys not being the only boy.. but when Jeremy moves out i'm sure he'll still be over all the time. They have all of their classes together, and have the same major.. so, if anyone wants to be Jeremy's girlfriend so that I can have someone to hang out with, that would be great! But Life is good here in Logan-- We love you all!

Marysvale!

Last Monday Jared and I went to Marysvale, Utah for a few nights with my family! We went and stayed at my great aunt's inn, Moore's Old Pine Inn, from Monday and came home Wednesday. It was a blast! It's in centraly Utah, down by Beaver, and is the oldest running hotel in Utah. Her and her husband own and operate it, and they do a really amazing job. Every morning they made us delicious breakfast, and even more delicious dinners at night! We were spoiled rotten. Jared and I stayed in the Miner's room, which was decorated with mining tools and pictures, and it even had a little coal cart in the wall, pretty cool! On our way there we stopped at Fort Cove and checked out what the Mormons did back then. It was pretty fun, and really interesting. While we were in Marysvale we went Four-wheeling on some pretty fun tracks up to a waterfall. We hiked down to the waterfall, and took lots of pictures because it was gorgeous! Then on the way back-- jared took me on an adventure... we were cruising on the 4 wheelers and going off these little hill/jump things, and i thought for sure I was going to die. It was a blast. The next day we went river rafting, it was hilarious. Jared almost fell out a couple of times, one time he even grabbed on to my arm for support-- how cute? haha. I was cracking up. After river rafting we went to Bryce Canyon, which was beautiful, and played typical tourists. It was so much fun, and we had a great time with our family. We are thankful that my aunt katie let us stay at her inn and that she spoiled us rotten! If anyone is looking for a fun place to visit-- little Marysvale is the place!

HOME SWEET HOME!

So as most of you know we just returned from a great, adventurous, 9 day long vacation to ALASKA! It was so much fun. We left on the 24th of July, and arrived in Anchorage at about 3 PM. We drove a long way to Ninilchik, where we stayed for most of the vacation. We stayed in cute little cabins, and were quite entertained by the 3 brothers. The next day we went on a charter boat out halibut fishing.... and guess who caught the biggest fish out of the 12 of us.. ME!! Jared was jealous. It weighed 59 pounds and was so hard to real in! We did a lot of fishing while we were there. We went fishing on the Kenai river almost every day-- and for the first few days we had a hard time catching anything, but it did pick up and Jared ended up catching quite a few fish, along with all of the boys. I caught 4 fish, but I only got one in the net... but who cares! One of the days we went to Homer, and did a little sight seeing. A week later we drove to Seward and stayed the last three nights there. I loved Seward, it was a cute little town! We went silver fishing on charters, which was way fun and we caught lots of Silver Salmon. We went on a day cruise the last day and saw lots of wildlife and a huge glacier! We did a lot of laughing and had a wonderful time, it was a great vacation!

This was on the day cruise- all of the kids :)
