The day we were married, I was so deliriously happy I just giggled all the way to the temple. Being sealed for time and all eternity was the best gift Heavenly Father could ever give me. At that time, I could have never believed it, but I love Logan even more now than I did three years ago. And the funny thing is, I am confident that it will only get better with time. I love you Logan! Happy 3rd Anniversary baby!
An Asian food store recently opened in St. George and Logan and I went and checked it out today. Logan was very pleased to find his long lost Mi goreng that he ate in Australia. Basically it's glorified Ramen.
Here is a collage of some of the pictures we took whilst on out trip to Yellowstone. 
We had a good time up there other than having to deal with tourists taking pictures of wildlife and causing major traffic delays. The park is beautiful and we never got attacked by bears, much to Sydney's relief. We had fun driving all of these back roads to get around, like through the High Uintas and back around passed the snake river near alpine and around bear lake over Logan Canyon which never ended it seemed. We had a little scare with my check engine light coming on but the guys at Tunex told me it was "intermittent" so I had them change my fuel filter and it's been running fine ever since.
On a side note, I drug Sydney down a trail to get a cool view of the water fall in Yellowstone. She had an aversion for these stairs, she said they kicked her butt. In her defense there were 328 of them.
On the other hand these stairs at Lucas and Shellie's Almost killed me as I ran up them in the middle of the night to pee. They caused me to pass out and fall into the bath tub.
Sydney and I completed our first over night backpacking trip together. We went to Coyote Gulch which is 50 miles southeast of Escalante.
As you can see, we brought along our two hoodlum children Cash and Adam who made the trip much more entertaining.
We basically did the same hike we did a few years ago (before Sydney) only we hiked the distance between the two trailheads. It was nice weather, except we had to drink hot water some of the time. We did eventually find some nice cool springs to filter water from.
This is Sydney and I climbing out of the canyon up the slick rock near Jacob Hamblin Arch (please note that this is the only portion of the journey that Sydney didn't carry her pack).
We do not recommend taking water shoes on this trip even though the majority of the hike is in a river canyon, there is an excessive amount of sand that will get in you shoes and rub your toes into ginormous blisters as evidenced below. We recommend a good pair of shoes that will keep the sand out. Bare foot doesn't work either just ask Adam.
I decided that since the fall semester will likely be the busiest I've ever been up to this point, I would get a couple months ahead on birthday gifts.
Then on to another gift. I made myself a black button headband a while ago and I like it. So I made more for a birthday gift. 
I apologize for the TERRIBLE pictures. I couldn't find our good camera so I took them with my 2006 $90 Wal-Mart special. Can't expect too much out of it:)
Last weekend we went to Moab to raft the canyon outside town. It was fun. It was my first rafting trip since the "Incident" and I was a little nervous and freaked out about little rapids, but I was okay. Logan was really sweet and kept reassuring me.
I know, I know, my life must be pretty lame if I am "following up" on my previous story, but I was up there again and you have to admit, it's not something you see everyday...
Richfield's Golden Arches fell down today in a terrible wind storm. I can always count on my sister Katie to keep me updated on all the funny goings on up there in Sevier County!
Yesterday, as we were getting ready for church, we decided to go to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. So after church we packed a lunch and dinner and took off. When we got there it was really windy and cold so we only took the short hike out to Bright Angel Point and spent the rest of the time checking out the amenities and looking for license plates from all 50 states. We ended up finding 35 states + Alberta, Canada.
We had a bit of trouble starting the motor, and it is a little finicky, but we had fun:)
We didn't catch anything, but I almost did. BUT...I also lost the lure that Logan bought me for will-someday-be-a Mother's day. That was sad, but not entirely my fault. We got some sun, which was good, and Logan figured out the motor which means that next weekend will be even better. Maybe we will even catch a fish!
