A Few Weeekends Ago

3 (or so) weeks ago I hiked the "Y" for the first time in my Provo career with Stuart, his cousin Emma, and my awesome in-laws. By "hiked" I mean, complained 1/3 of the way up asking why on earth I was dragged into this. I figured that since I work out everyday and run on the treadmill it would be no big deal.... I SO underestimated the difficulty. Abby and Emma power-walked away and Stuart and Scott stayed behind moving slightly slower with me. After we got down (I was much more talkative on the decline since I could walk AND talk) I'm pretty sure I swore off ever doing it again... then I woke up the next morning and was so sore and it felt so good that I wanted to do it again! I'm strange I know. Here are some pics.


She looks much happier than I do.


Thrilled to be on the way down.

I Hope They Call Me On A Mission...

My youngest brother, Scott, got his mission call tonight! He was called to the Londrina, Brazil mission and he reports August 26th, 2009 to the MTC. I'm so so happy for him and so so excited! He was called just North of where my other brother, Blake, served in Brazil and also North of where Stuart served in Argentina. YAY!

One Year TODAY!

One year ago today Stuart and I were married. It's been a pretty amazing year and we've definitely learned a lot. Are we still allowed to be called newlyweds? Or is that over now?
