This Weekend

We went to a car show this weekend that my Uncle was in, we've got just a few pictures... Here's Ryan and his Lambo...



This is my uncles truck, it's so pretty!


So, this video...Ryan doesn't know it's up here, so don't tell him...he would really be embarrassed, but this just gives you a little idea of Ryan's Personality, something that you can't really see in the pictures. He is also so fun to be around.......Remember, don't tell, and enjoy...lol



Rest of St. George Trip

So these are the pictures that were taken when I went down to St. George last month, I and just got them from Ryan this weekend.



Ryan, Me, then behind me is Dan (Ryan's friend), then next to him is Ryan's Cousin Travis, then Greg and Joni (cousin).


So we fit 9 adults in this little 5 seater car...we got really close that day.





Ya, I know there's snow, and I'm in shorts, but it really wasn't that cold, that is not until the sun when down.



So we hiked into the canyon, then turned around and hiked back out of the canyon, this is on our way out. 13 miles and 9 hours later I wanted to crawl under a tree and die...but thankfully Ryan was there and kept me going.


I know this is a littl out of order, but this one is us hiking into the canyon



Just taking a little breather

So pretty!


This was the very beginning of the hike


I got to hold his hand ALL DAY! lol...




Ryan, Me, Reece (cousin), Meg (friend), Dan (friend), Ashlyn (friend), and Travis (cousin)


Here's all of us!





If my mother only knew I was doing this, she probably would kill me or Ryan for that matter. But I LOVE it!!!






Setting up the wall to climb

This is our bike ride that had so many challenges with flat tires...nothing was working out like we planned.


Oh, another bike ride two weeks ago in West Jordan, 17 miles baby!




So we 'had' to stop by the river to Ryan could teach to skip rocks, it was a failed attemp...

So Sad

I was able to go down to Utah this last weekend and spend it with Ryan and his family! It's Ryan's Spring Break, so he is off of school all this week. I was able to stay down there till Tuesday and made an extra long weekend out of it! For the rest of his Spring Break he's hiking down into the Grand Canyon with his family. I just got of the phone with him, and won't be able to talk to him again until they get out on Sunday afternoon. It makes me so sad, because now can I only not see him, but I can't even talk to him. This will be the first time since the day we met that we hadn't talked. And on top of that, my parents are still on their cruise, so I can't talk to them either. So I just feel sad with no one to talk to.

I have just a few pictures and a video to share of Ryan singing! Don't tell him, he'd be so embarrassed. The only problem is that the pictures and video are on my camera that I left at Ryan's house. So sorry, but you'll have to wait for it.

Well, I don't have much to report, there's three more weeks of the semester and six weeks till I have to say goodbye to Ryan for the Summer. School's starting to wind down, I only have one more final to take, two projects, and one paper left to do. So It's getting close. Well I should get going...

St. George trip

This weekend I was able to go all the way down to St. George and spend a few days with Ryan. It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed my time down there, it was really hard to come back to school today and face the 30 degree weather again, it was in the 70's down there all weekend!!!

I mostly only have pictures from our Sunday activities, and Ryan has pictures from our Saturday activities, so I'll get those up here as soon as I can get them from him.

I drove down on Thursday afternoon and Ryan showed me around his campus, and it was so beautiful, it makes BYU-I look old and dumpy.

Friday I did homework for two hours while Ryan was in class, then we went down to St. George and went Mountain Biking, which was quite interesting. First of all I had to use Ryan's bike because it was the only one that was small enough for me, and it had the peddles that locked your feet in. So pretty much whenever we came to a big hill that I couldn't make it up, I would fall...with the bike...because I couldn't get my feet out of the peddles, I've got some sweet scratches and bruises from that. Then we went Rock climbing with another couple, and I mean real rock climbing, outside, on a rock, non of this gym rock wall stuff. It was really fun, I had never been real rock climbing before, but I definitely like it a lot more, and it was definitely a lot more challenging. After that we went to Darrin and Jenny's and was able to spend some time with them before we all headed to bed.

Saturday we got up and headed to Zion's, and hiked part of the subway, long story short...after many complications we all made it out after 9 hours of walking 13+ miles. We were so tired and just to glad to finally be done. I seriously got to the point where I didn't know how my feet were moving, they just were. That night we headed back to camp, had hot dogs and somores then headed to bed.

Sunday we got up, had breakfast and cleaned up camp then went to a local ward for church. After church we went to a part across the street and had lunch and took a short little nap out on the grass before we headed back into Zion's for a short little hike.

Well here are the pictures I have, enjoy:



We went for a walk around the St. George temple on Sunday afternoon


We did a short little hike in Zions after church on Sunday, so easy, I even did it in flip flops.

Oh I just LOVE him! At Zions

The Boys



Travis (Ryan's Cousin), Joni (Ryan's Cousin), and her fiance Greg, Me and Ryan, and Dan (friend of Ryan's).

So while we were driving through Zions, I was stuck in the back middle seat of the car and couldn't see anything, and I have never been to Zions and wanted to see it all, so I stood outside of the sun roof...don't tell my Dad, he'd kill me. lol.

We took a little power nap at this park after church and Travis wouldn't wake up, so all the guys went and jumped on him.


Travis sleeping, notice the handkerchief over his eyes...

Friday we went mountain biking in St. George, and my bike kept getting a flat tire, and Ryan was not very happy about that. You can't tell, but he's not smiling in this picture.

A weekend to Remember

RYAN CAME TO THE BURG!!! Oh it was so much fun!!! I only have a few pictures to share, Katie Sudgen has some on her camera, so I still need to get those from her. But I don't have much to report at this time, other than I was so excited for Ryan to finally come to Rexburg this weekend, I had the opportunity to show him around campus and was able to introduce him to many anxious roommates and cousins...lol. Saturday we went to Green Canyon hot springs with another couple I know, it was a lot of and we quickly lost track of time we were having so much fun!

So me and Ryan played this game of how foggy can we make the windshield by the time we get to Grandma's house by blowing on it....I feel like we accomplished the task at hand quite well! We're weird I know, but I love it!


Green Canyon Hot Springs with Kim and her fiance Mike



I really like this one...

President's Day weekend

This weekend I was able to go down to Utah and spend some time with my family and Ryan's family. I had a blast and didn't want the weekend to end. Here's some pictures:

So Monday we went Rock climbing and for a short hike up Provo Canyon.

Casey making a snow angel.


Ryan making a snow angle...face down...he's crazy

Sword fight with icecicles

Showing some love




Isn't he's just so darn cute
Me and my Momma


Coming down after smokin' Casey

I did a really hard one...my arms hurt so bad I just collapsed on the floor and had to have Ryan untie me
I accidently let go, and went for a ride.
I held his life in my hands...lol
There I go again

Now he held my life in his hands.










Ryan had to help us put our harneses on...

Sunday night we had played some ping pong at Ryan's house




Ryan and his Cousin Travis
You can see how much help Kyle was...lol
Me and my Momma

So Mom got stuck in the powder, and fell. I had to take my board off and hike in deep powder to my knees for like 20 yards to go help my Mom get up. And once I got her up, she would fall again. This happened like 3 times. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen. I was rolling the snow laughing so hard.
On our way to go Boarding
So sorry these video's are sideways, I should have thought about that when I took them. This one is of Ryan's Cousins...I don't even know how to explain it...just watch, it is hystericall.
This video is of Ryan jumping off a cliff...he's crazy

There's more pictures, if I can get them from my Mom and Casey, I'll be sure to put them up, but for now, this is all I got!
