Night Lights in Seattle

Jeremy and I met up with some old friends in Seattle the other night. We went on a short walk and I wanted to share the view. Pretty, right?

Bucket List #1

Rachel suggested putting together a "bucket list" to complete before we bid adieu to Provo. The first task to check off from the list was to revisit the site where I proposed (to Rachel).

Of course I pitched the idea around 7:00 p.m. and Rachel informed me that she needed to be back before 9:00 a.m. to show some apartments the following morning. Within twenty minutes we packed up our backpacks with just the necessities: sleeping bags, pad, tarp, and tent. Rachel would not go unless she could bring her pillow. I unwillingly allowed it, only because she threatened not to come if she had to rest her head on the ground.

Just about how I remember the skyline three years ago (minus the tent).

Go Fly a Kite!

Rachel and I went to a family get-together in Murray and on the way home decided to stop by the Intermountain Medical Center to see if Christopher was working. Sure enough, there was his unmistakable Estoril M3. Within minutes he came bounding out of his office, ending his day at work and looking for us (after noticing our car parked adjacent to his own). We decided to go to the point of the mountain to fly our little kite. It was a blast.

Descending into the Bowels of the Earth

Many of you may think we are crazy, but we have recently taken up caving. For the record, we have and do take every safety precaution that we can, and go only in groups mostly consisting of professional cavers (these are the guys that create the cave maps and serve on rescue teams). I don't have many pictures but here are a few.

Yes it is snowing outside and we are wearing t-shirts.


Looking down into the cave...

The cave was about 70 degrees. You can't tell in the picture but it was actually steaming.

Finally!!!

I know, I know. You can't believe what you're seeing. Well, let me assure you that you're not dreaming. It's really happened...a new post!

I finally uploaded pictures and decided to share. To clarify, posts to come may not be in order or even of relatively recent events. I am going to throw them out there willy nilly, so I hope you enjoy!

Fourth Of July

Again this was a month ago...

My nephew and niece lil' A and EMB came with Jeremy and I to watch the Freedom Festival Parade on the 4th of July. We were anticipating the weather to be super hot but as you can see we were fortunate enough to get a little cloud cover for the whole parade. I think overall it was a pretty good parade.




That had to be fun to be dressed up as Darth Vader in July.

I thought this one was pretty impressive. It was done by a ward. If you notice it says "Family Time is Sharing Time" and apparently some family is sharing with a bunch of ants.

Nothing says "God Bless America" like a giant bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
