The past little while

It has been a LONG time since I have posted and I realize that I really am only doing this blog for a journal for Grant and I, so I guess I better catch up on life.

For Valentine's Day Grant bought be photo shop because I really have wanted to pick up on it. I really cannot wait for school to be done so that I can actually have a fun hobby. Later that night we went to dinner and to "This means War." Loved the movie, it was so great and even Grant liked it...which is a huge improvement...we are making progress on the chick flicks!

A couple weeks later for spring break Grant, Ali, Mike, Dani, Kurtis and I decided to venture out to Zion's National Park. We headed down on a Friday night and stayed till Sunday. We stayed at the Zion's ponderosa and it was a blast! I am so grateful for all of the amazing people we have in our life and for the happiness and fun they bring. We seriously have been so blessed.

In April, Grant finished his first semester in the Health Administration program up at Weber. He did an awesome job and it never ceases to amaze me his dedication to school and the effort he puts into our future. I am so grateful for his example to me, because honestly I struggle gaining any motivation to study or do homework. Speaking of which, I will graduate with my Associates in July, which is really not a big deal, but it does mean that I get to start the Child and Family studies program up at Weber. I hope to end up getting my masters in Family and Marriage counseling.

Our little nephew Nathan has O.I. and so this great charity (Angel Hands) put on a day at the zoo for all the children at Shriner's hospital. Our family went and we had a blast! Grant was so excited about the tiger's and went picture crazy.. but I am not so sure they liked it because one of them jumped up on the knit fence right into Grant's face and let out the loudest roar I have ever heard! It scared us so bad and I just don't even think words can describe how crazy scary but amazing it was!

This is not even close to what it looked like but its the best I have.

On May 19th, my side of the family was at our niece Kamdyn's birthday when all of us decided to just go for a spur of the moment cabin trip down to Nephi. Every year I look forward to my "first"cabin trip of the year because it means summer is finally here! I just love it down there and I love being able to spend time with family!

This is the best I could get. They would not all look at once!!

We then spent Memorial Day up at our friend Maddie's parents cabin up at Pineview. We just lounged, ate the most amazing cinnamon roll pancakes ever, watched movies (including Never say Never, yeah that's right the boys loved it haha), four wheeled and had our first boating trip of the season! It was freezing but it was still so fun! It was the perfect getaway.

So far this summer we have swam, barbequed, played crouquet, enjoyed fires etc. We are so excited for the summer season and to mayve spend some more time together even though we both are taking jam packed semesters... I just have to keep telling myself it will all be worth it...maybe...hopefully.
