And she's off...

Two days ago, I got a text from my sister telling me she was eloping the Thursday, Aug,27 at 5. So if I could make it she would be happy. I was shocked, but knew she was serious. The next 24 hours after that were a bit crazy for my mom, Shara (my sister) and her fiance. But they made it work. Yesterday the most of the family (including my sister from Arizona, and her youngest baby) were able to make it to the wedding. It turned out beautiful. Thanks to my mom's friends from the ward and others. I hadn't seen my, now, brother-in-law look at Shara with such care as I did during the ceremony, it was tender and sweet to witness. They are now happily on their honeymoon in Park City. Good luck Shara and Jason!! We love you!

Summer is over


I cant believe summer has come and gone already, it feels like it just began. We are both excited and scared to be going to a new school this year, not to fond on the purple of weber state just yet. For our last weekend of summer we went up to bear lake and stayed in uncle Robin's cabin. We let Tanner tag along with us to keep us inline :) We went out on the wave runner for a few hours, it would barely move with all three of us on it so we had to take turns. Tanner took a spill going 40 so he was all funned out after that. It was nice to sit and relax at the cabin, we just watched movies and played games. Its the same thing we do everyday but at a different location which makes it all the better. We still dont have jobs yet, we have gotten a couple call backs but not many. I had the weirdest interview with pacsun the other day. They took six of us outside and asked what kind of animal we wish we could be and if we had one wish what would it be,that was the extent of the interview. I'm really hoping to get this job at the school being a ref for all intermural sports. I have a tough semester so i want a job that I'll enjoy and not have to work too hard, so this is perfect.

Quilting




Earlier this summer Amelia was really bored so she decided she would make a jean quilt. She has worked on it when she has had free time, and she will finish it today. For FHE went went to the Robertsons and got the family to help tie it. It took longer to get it on the stands then it did to actually tie it. I had never tied a quilt so everyone did twice what I did, but it was fun to be apart of it. And just for the record I picked out the yarn without having the back there and it matched perfectly! I'm really proud of my wife for doing this quilt, she is amazing.

High Adventure



Today Paul and I went to Causey Dam, near Pine View. Our ward was supposed to have an activity up there but it must have been cancelled and we didn't get the memo. But we had fun ourselves anyways. We did some cliff jumping, and swimming in the cold water. As usual it took me a long time to take my first jump off the cliff, I'd count to three, then chicken out and count to three again, after many counts to three I finally jumped. Paul was a brave man, jumping multiple times and going on the higher cliffs. The water was really cold, but we enjoyed our time out there having some high adventure.

Moving is no fun


So this is our first blog, we thought we would join the crowd and start one of these. We dont have it figured out yet, but give us some time. We are offically residents of Ogden Ut now. We were both really sad to leave logan, we love it up there. Our last night in Logan we took our mattress and threw it in the truck we were borrowing and went up to the dam. It was so pieceful up there untill Midnight when we were spotlighted by the police, and he informed us it was time to go home. We're all settled into our place, for the most part anyways. We both are looking for places to work, hopefully we find something soon. Its been enjoyable not to go to work though, it great to spend time together. We went to Raging Waters on monday, neither of us had been in years. We nearly drowned in the wave pool, and we alomost went over the side of the slides, but it was still a fun time.
