1 Year!

I can hardly believe it has been a year already, but this weekend we celebrated our first anniversary! Unfortunately I have no pictures to accompany this post, because our trip up to Lava Hot Springs involved too much water for my camera, and it stayed safely in the car. We spent the morning soaking in the fantastic hot springs, and then played in the olympic pool for a couple of hours. Lunch was at a cute hamburger place that had  really yummy food. After lunch and some more time at the olympic pool, we went back to the hot springs for one last soak. We ended the day with a relaxing couple's massage at the spa. Our original plan was to spend the night up there, but the hotel looked like roach motel, and there were no other vacancies, so we came home early and enjoyed dinner at Applebee's instead.

Josh got me a beautiful butterfly necklace and earrings set, and I got him the History Channel's "Monster Quest" on DVD, which we are watching as I type. It has been a busy but wonderful year, and we are looking forward to many more!

Summer Fun - Holidays and Lakes Hooray!

Prepare for picture overload, since I haven't written in awhile and we have had some fun since then! First was the 4th of July. The actual 4th was on Sunday, and we had Monday off. I love the way that worked, because we essentially celebrated for 3 days straight! First was the family party on Saturday. Everyone brought a new recipe to try and we had TONS of food! And it was all very yummy! Then of course came the fireworks, which were beautiful this year. On Monday we celebrated with Josh's family by going to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Yum! Sorry, I don't have pictures available on this computer, but you can link to "Our Days" to see some pictures from the party at my parents house. Maybe I'll post some of my own later on!

This Saturday we went up to Bear Lake with Josh's family. It's always such a fun trip! This year the lake was very full, and we had to wade through this to get to a small patch of beach...

And I do mean tiny. Our little island was about as wide as Josh's reach. At least there was beach to be found! It was fun having water surround us on all sides. This year Zelan was old enough to splash around. She is adorable! Here she is, followed by a few pictures of us goofing off on the beach.

We got to play on a wave runner. Those are lots of fun, but Josh always tries to make me scream on purpose. His sister Meagan took these next few pictures. Thanks Meg!

Josh looks great on the wakeboard...

And me...

Well I try...
