Trip

Well, Sukkot went really well, I missed the last half of the week driving up to Portland for a wedding. It was a very long 17 hour drive, but "quick" in that we were there for a day before driving another 17 hours back. We traveled with most of Cary's family in a 15 passenger van. Good times, good times.


As you can tell from these pictures, the traveling for the men was rough.

These are pictures from the wedding reception. Now I'm back home, I got up this morning and decided I didn't want to work today.

Rose got her McLeods Daughters season 1 so we watched a couple of episodes. Yay! Why did they stop showing that in the USA????



Enjoy the pictures, I'm out.

Meh...

Fasting for the 3.5 hours that I've already been without food is draining my brain of all the things that I was going to write for an update. It's going to be a really long day tomorrow.


In other news, its' Media day for the Utah Jazz. Yay! Just kidding, try to contain your excitement.

I spent last week in Ogden with Cary, it was a nice week filled with lots of rest and relaxation. It was so awesome to be able to stay in bed when he had to get up for school. (Usually, I'm always the one that has to get out of bed first and I'm very bitter over this.) I took a lot of work with me that I had intended to do, but never got around to it. It was lovely, and I watched more TV in a week, than I did all last year. Back to real life...........

The leaves are changing everywhere so yesterday the family decided to take advantage of all the fall color and planned a picnic in the mountains. We had steak, potato salad, and smores....Mmm, Mmm....why am I talking about food?

Anyway, I took a few pictures and I'm no photographer, but enjoy. Also, I apologize for all the grammer and spelling mistakes in advance, but I'm too lazy to re-read this and correct anything.

Just some pictures of fall.

Nice Haircut. :-)

For Fun

Whew.....try again.

I can't even begin to tell you how much I hate the internet right now, but it let me upload a few pictures. Yay! So here are some that made it in before my patience ran out. Most of you are at the conference anyway...for which I'm very jealous of and wish that I would have gone.

Married Life

Everyone asks how married life is.... So far its good, but I have to say that it's not really that different than it was before. I still live in the same "town", live in the same house, have the same job, and Abby still makes me go jogging at night. Cary is just around more now, and I haven't decided if that's a good thing. Just kidding! Married life is great! So really you should ask Cary how married life is. He's the one that had to move and try to cram all of his stuff in my (our) shack. Not to mention living with me and my obssesive compulsiveness is not easy to do, and we're both "old" and set in our ways. Good times, good times.




My cousin Rachel got married yesterday, so Cary and I packed in a van with the rest of my family and drove to Elko, NV for the wedding. The wedding was a lot of fun and I had to change my opinion on Nevada. The southern part of Nevada is still hideously ugly, but the northern part is quite beautiful.

Up next: 4th of July



We aren't expecting as big of a crowd this year since it landed in the middle of the week, but there will still be lots of good food and it will be fun.



Well, I still am unable to post pictures. Dean looked the internet and can't figure out what the problem is, and why it won't let us upload anything. Hopefully we're getting hooked up to a new DSL line by next week and then there will be pictures!



I guess I'm off to help Kenneth hang up posters, so no more to this thrilling post.

Wedding and Honeymoon

The wedding is over. Whew. I don't really remember a whole lot of that day except that it was really long and I wasn't as stressed out as I thought I would be. Everything seemed to go along smoothly thanks to family and friends. It definitely couldn't have happened without everyone's help. So THANK YOU! I'd post pictures, but my photographer went on vacation right after the wedding so it will be a little while before I have them. Sharon has some pictures of the wedding on her site. My wedding post will come later, after the honeymoon post. I was going to post pictures of our Baja-Mexican cruise though, but the internet is being stupid, so pretty much this post is useless. If you've never been on a cruise, let me tell you now that the food alone makes them worth it. 24 hour eating. Amen. Time to start the exercise routine again.
