A Winter in Portland

At BYU-Idaho they have a system with three semesters and they only assign you two, so me and Michael are on the Fall/Spring Semester and have our off track in the Winter semester.  Now that we are married, we spend the winter in Portland.  This was my first winter away from Driggs and Rexburg.  It was also my first time being away from home this long, so I was worried that I would have a hard time adjusting.

Our winter semester in Portland was a lot of fun.  I also got a job at a gym called Club Sport and worked at the juice bar for them. It was so nice because I also got a free membership, so it was nice to have a place to workout at when it was freezing out side. I loved that job though it was a really good one for three months. I hope that I can go back to it someday even if it is as a personal trainer.

We did a lot of fun things while in Portland we went to 3 Blazer games and 1 Hockey game. We got to go up to the beach house in Washington where we had our honeymoon, it was a lot colder though, so we didn't get to do much, but it was still a lot of fun.  While in Oregon we got news that my grandpa past away, so me and Michael drove up to see my family in Moses Lake.  We also stopped in Seattle to do some site seeing which was a lot of fun.  When we got to Moses Lake it was so good to see my mom and my sisters, I was starting to have a hard time without my family, so it was good to see them.

Here are some pictures for part of our Winter break.











We also got to see the premiere of Hunger Games, which was a midnight showing, we had a lot of fun and loved watching all the crazy people around us and what they dressed up like.  It was a good movie, but the book of course was a lot better.  One last big thing that we did before we left Oregon was babysat the bishops kids(the Dickson's).  They have 5 boys all under the age of 13, so there was never a dull moment. I actually had a lot of fun the whole time.  The kids are really good, they listen to everything you say and they a lot of fun to play with.
Here are some pictures of the boys we watched.



The two boys names that are missing is Tyler's and Cole, they are in the I love you picture though.

We got to spend Easter with them to is was so fun hiding there baskets and having an Easter Sunday lesson for them to do. We also went over to Michael's house and had Easter dinner and they got to go find more eggs, so I think Easter was a success for them.






 Play Time!









We had such a good time in our off track and barely made it with out my family! I am excited to go back and have more experiences with my wonderful husband.  ps we also did go you San Francisco, so look for that in my next blog.

WHERE YOU GO I WILL GO

You always know when someone is going to giving you bad new. They sit you down and look at you with a sad/serious face. Then come the words you new you would hear, "I have some bad news".  And in your mind you are trying to figure out what could possibly be going on. Well as you probably guessed, this happened to me about a month ago. I was eating breakfast and Michael sat next to me and told me that he "had some bad news". I stopped eating and just stared at him waiting for the news,  but I had an idea of what he was going to say. I normally never get bad news and the look Michael had on his face told me everything. We were moving. Once it finally came from his mouth I burst into tears. He began to tell me that we would be moving to Tualatin, OR    Michaels Parents need his help with the Business in Oregon because it is doing so well.  He is needed so that the bus...

Kicking our summer off right.

Summer is officially here! My favorite season has finally arrived. There is no better way to celebrate the first weekend of summer then camping! Michael and I love camping. Their is just something about campfires, sleeping under the stars, and s'mores  that get me excited to camp. This weekend we camped in Provo canyon with some friends that are going to BYU. Once we got camp all set up and the fire going this little guy decided to pay us a visit. Not going to lie I thought it was a bear sneaking up on us at first. I was scared out of my mind, but then he stuck his head up and I felt a lot better. After making some yummy s'mores and relaxing by the fire we got in the cars and headed to squaw peak to  look at the beautiful lights from on top of the mountain. You can see all of Utah Valley from up there. Everyone knows that if you are looking to get a goodnights rest  that camping is not what you want to be doing. ...

A Weekend With Family & Friends

There is nothing better than spending time with friends and family. I cherish every moment I get with them. Never take time with your family for granted because you can never get that time back. I am the most  happy  when I am around family.   My goal this year is to try to be around family as much as I can because  those are the memories I want to remember the most. Here are some pictures of the awesome weekend with family and friends. .......... We got to go to the Ogden Raptors vs. the Idaho Falls Chuckers game with our friends Ben and Rachel As of lately Zupas soup, salad & sandwiches has become one of my favorite places to eat,  so before going to the game I made everyone eat at Zupas with me.  such good food!! Overall it was a really great time with our awesome friends. and of course I was cheering for the Chuckers... even though they lost. The girls got to come so it was fun having them ...
