Rainy Day up Paris....Canyon

Martin and I got together with another couple, Weston and Jordan Hobbs who we just love to do things with, this Memorial Day weekend. The guys took us up Paris Canyon. It has been a very windy and rainy week. We didn't care we got our jackets on and put are hoods up and hiked up to Paris Springs. It was very pretty up the canyon, everything was very very green and doing the hike in the rain, made it just that much of a more unique and fun adventure. After Paris Springs we went furthur on to Paris Ice Caves. It was snowing by the time of getting up to the ice caves. It was awesome! I put some collages together with the awesome technology we have on our phones now. Haha, took about 5 minutes.

Halloween 2010

This Saturday Martin and I got together with some friends and headed to Salt Lake for Halloween. We purchased tickets for Nightmare on 13th haunted house attraction. But before we went there we ate at Rodizio Grill. That was my first experience there. I can now say I have eaten rattle snake.....it was pretty good, but the thought of it ruined eating anymore than a bite, but at least I can say I've tried that and black bore.

After stuffing ourselves we headed to Nightmare on 13th. We bought the tickets online so we got a free VIP pass. Which I'm sure glad we did cause we didn't have to wait in the lines at all :) I got spooked a couple of times....Martin maybe more LOL. They say it's rated #1 in America and was on the Travel Channel. They had the groups to close, so it was like you were going through the spook alley with 10 other people. Or it could of been scarier. I will say though they have a ton of creative stuff in there! It was fun to experience. Below is a picture they took before we went through. We all look like nerds.

Hope everyone had a SAFE and fun Halloween! Now can't wait for these next two holidays. Vegas for Thanksgiving and Coos Bay, Oregon for Christmas!

Get Over Yourself!

No one is or can be perfect, so we can at least strive to be. I read this today:

BE KINDER THAN NECESSARY FOR EVERYONE YOU MEET IS FIGHTING SOME KIND OF BATTLE!!!!!

Spring Break in NAPLES, FLORIDA!

I was lucky enough to fly to Florida and spend a week during my spring break,with my sister and her family. It was soooo much fun! The weather was amazing, the people were nice, and the surroundings are just beautiful! Here are some pic's of my trip. :-) I MISS FLORIDA!

School Stuff

Been a long time since I last updated... so just thought I would blog a little about my schooling. I am in lab right now, learning to do a bunch of tests with blood....and I love it! I never thought I would enjoy sticking needles into people, but I really don't mind it! I am glad that I went into medical assisting, but I may end up wanting to just become a phlebotomist at some point. Today in lab we had to to a ESR test, and then we had to draw a venipuncture on at least 3 people. I was the only one who punctured 5 people. HAHA! I really want to get good at it!

SNOCROSS 2010

Yesterday we drove to Salt Lake with some friends to see the SnoCross racing. It was sooo cold but really fun! We got there earlier than the main event to watch a lot of races before the main events, as 7 o'clock rolled around the stadium started to finally feel up! We got awesome seating and the slednecks did some cool tricks! As you all know my boyfriend Martin and his buddies LOVE snowmobiling so they especially enjoyed it!

One summer in 2004..

I know I have had quite a few posts lately, and apologize for the previous post that the video is no longer available..but I was going through a box of pictures and found some of when I went to work at a salmon processing plant in Kenai, Alaska...we flew and worked there during the summer of 2004..oh what an experience!

Susan Boyle!

Susan, for you that don't know, was on Britain's Got Talent..she has an amazing voice, and she such a cute little lady! I just wanted to share this video she sang on America's Got Talent if you hadn't already seen it enjoy!

FAMILY SUMMER FUN!

Lea, Jeff, and their girls drove up from Oregon this week to visit family! We had so much fun! On Monday we went to the lake and it was soooo fun! Then Tuesday we went golfing, relaxed ,and then had a BBQ at my parent's home, then on Wednesday Hilary, Me, Lea, and Jeff stood in line at Stadium 6 in Logan to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince! Which we all loved! Now as we all know fun eventually comes to an end and Lea and her fam had to leave. But we had so much fun!

SCHOOL!!

So I am finally proud to say....I will be going to school for the medical assisting program at the Bridgerland Applied Technology College! It makes me feel pretty good about myself that I'm going to be actually accomplishing something! I'm currently on a waiting list to start, due to a high volume of other's wanting to do the same program, but I've already passed my placement test and have some other things to do before fully starting the program. They do a background check and a drug screening before starting these programs. So I just thought I would share my news on going to school finally!! Took me long enough! Sheesh!

Jackson Hole Hill Climbs

How our trip to Jackson started...after finally leaving
Logan we got to Martin's parent's house
around 3 O'clock so he could change is car oil and
while checking his car out he saw a nail or
something similar that was 6" long in the back left
tire...BUT believe it or not, it only went in and
out the tread and didn't puncture the actual tire so
he had it fixed in no time :)

Walkin our way to the ski resort for the hill climbs,
Martin carrying our bag of goodies, cuz we were on the
mountain for hourrrrrs....




Happy Martin, going to watch snowmobiles his
favorite machine!

New Hobby

Had a blast this past weekend, finally finding something I really enjoy for a winter sport...as you can probably guess from the pictures..skiing! I used to snowboard but really didn't enjoy it! So my mom talked me into try skiing and I really loved it! It just clicked and I got the hang of it pretty quick, mostly because my mom did a good job on teaching what to do! It was way fun! Plus I got to enjoy a day with my little sister and mam!

Valentines Day

So Happy Valentines Day to everyone....this day is a bit over rated....but we still went on a date and enjoyed ourselves. So we went to The International, which neither Martin nor I was very impressed with, but it was still fun! Then went to Sizzler for dinner, cuz their steaks are always sooo good! We first were going to do dinner then a movie, but everywhere was PACKED! We went to Sizzler first and the line was out the door, so we went across the street to Olive Garden and that was a 85-90 min wait also...so we figured everywhere was going to have the same results for it being lovers day and all! So we made the smart move of going to the show and then dinner, which resulted in no line when we got to Sizzler..yum!
