Summer Adventures!

Fourth of July!

Our Apartment!

I have finally made the apartment look somewhat the way I want it to and it feels a lot more like home! Here are some picutures of our cute little place :)

HUGE UPDATE!!!

Ok, I know a lot of you have been begging me wanting an update! Well... here it is! So I was married to the love of my life on March 17, 2010 (St. Patrick's Day) in the Logan Temple! It was such a gorgeous day, and I was so happy to have such nice weather in March! After we were sealed together forever, we went to get something to eat at Maddox and it was so delicious! Then we had a reception in Hooper and it was a lot of fun! We even did a surprise dance and rocked our reception. It was so much fun to see the reactions on people's faces. Then we were able to spend that night at the Alaskan Inn. The room we stayed in was gorgeous and Josh had it decorated with rose petals and candles everywhere and we even got yummy hot chocolate! Then for our honeymoon, Josh's mission President was gracious enough to let us stay at his cabin up by Park City. It was so nice to just relax and enjoy spending time together. We were able to go snow shoeing behind the cabin, 4-wheeling, and we also spent a day up in Park City just shopping and having fun. It has been wonderful being married and I love my husband so much!

I also just graduated from Weber State University on April 23rd! I received my Bachelor's degree in Health Promotion with a minor in Nutrion Education. I got a job from an internship I did at McKay-Dee Hospital in the Community Health Information Center and I love it! So that is what I have been up to lately and why I haven't had much time to post on my blog, but now I have time, yay!

I'm Engaged!!!

I really can't believe it, but yesterday I got engaged to my best friend Josh Wilde on top of a mountain!!! We went snow shoeing to Lewis Peak, and when we got to the top he wanted to take a picture of us. So he set up his camera on the trail sign and said that he was setting the timer. He ran over to where I was standing and we were both smiling and getting ready for the picture. He kissed me on the cheek and told me that he loved me, then he asked me if I enjoy climbing mountains with him, and I said yes! Then he asked if I would climb mountains with him forever, and I said that I would like to. Then he got down on one knee and said "will you marry me then?" It was so cute! I was so surprised and didn't know how to respond. I just started jumping up and down and he got the whole thing on his camera. It was really funny! He is such an amazing person, and I am so lucky and grateful to have him in my life. I am so excited to be his wife and I couldn't ask for anything better! :)

Messy Cupcakes!

Sorry I haven't updated for so long, but you know how things are when school starts. I have a short hilarious story though, so I thought I would share! So Josh and I were at his house the other day, and his mom made this delicious, home made chicken noodle soup, and she even made the noodles from scratch! It was so yummy! Then after dinner, we decided to have some cupcakes that Josh brought home from work. They were really cute, with little smiley faces on them, and usually I'm not a huge frosting fan, but it was actually very good and kinda tasted like pudding!

So here I am enjoying the deliciousness when all the sudden Josh pushes my head down a little and gets frosting on my face! He didn't get that much on me, but still... So my reaction was to shove his cupcake in his face, ha! So I did, and then it was all out war! I got him pretty good a couple of times and he still hadn't gotten me, but then his mom came in, and I guess she whispered to him that he should kiss me. So he planted a big gooey one on me! It was so funny, and we were laughing so hard! Then after that he got me pretty good and it even went up my nose... I think I had chocolate boogers for a day after, ha ha! Here's the end result...

Europe and some EFY moments...

So I haven't updated this for awhile and much has happened! First of all, I was a counselor at EFY a few weeks ago, and it was an absolute blast! Josh and I did it together and it was his first time ever going to EFY, and I think he really enjoyed it. I had the cutest girls in my group and some way awesome co-counselors too. It was funny because all of my friends little brothers and sisters were there because they did EFY for their youth conference. So I had lots of fun teasing them, ha ha! It was really cute too because one day was love note day for EFY counselors, and I was just sitting in a devotional and all of a sudden a paper airplane lands right on the chair next to me. It was a love note from Josh and it was really cute and so hilarious! He said something about how life without me is like life without a prophet; directionless and meaningless, ha ha! He's great.

So after EFY, I went to EUROPE!!! It was absolutely amazing, and I had so much fun! I went to Ireland, Scotland, and England with my friend Jessica and her aunt Rosa and cousin Jennifer. We had a blast and got to see so many cool places! I think Ireland was my favorite though, mainly because everyone was super nice there, but also because I loved their accents. We stayed in Dublin first and then we went up to Coleraine where we met up with some members who knew Rosa's brother in law because he served his mission there. They were so awesome! They fed us tons of delicious food and took us up and down the coast to see all the sights. We also went to chuch with them on Sunday and it was so much fun! They just have a small branch in Coleraine, but everyone there was so nice and we got a bunch of hugs and felt really welcome. Stella, the member that we met up with, taught both Sunday school and Relief Society and did an amazing job. She was so cute and you could tell that she would do anything for anyone. In fact, I was telling her that I was upset because I wanted to buy this tie that I saw in Dublin for Josh, but we didn't have enough time to go back and get it before we left, so she said she would knit one for him and send it to me! She is amazing! Her grandson, Josh, was also staying with her for the weekend, and he was such a funny kid. He would just make comments that made us laugh so hard, and it was hilarious.

After Ireland, we took a plane over to Scotland. We only stayed there for a couple days, but it was really fun still. We got to see some really cool places and did some great shopping there. Then we rode a train down to London to stay for 3 more days. It was a long train ride, but we sat next to this girl that was our same age from Edinburgh and she was super nice! She told us all the places we should go and what the best candy was to buy, ha ha! I was just amazed by how nice people were. When we got to London, I was a little nervous though because there were so many people and everyone was just in a hurry all the time. It was a big city and traffic and pollution was terrible! The first night we were there, we saw Wicked which was absolutely fanominal! I love plays, so I really thought it was cool that we got to see it in London! Then the next day we got to see the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace. I thought it was really cool to see, but we had to stand there for like 2 hours and it started pouring rain right in the middle. It was still fun though :) My favorite place in England was probably Windsor Castle which is where the Queen still goes to stay on the weekends. It was beautiful and it was fun to see a palace that is still up and running.

Well, I'm sure there is a lot more I could write about my trip, but there's just so much that I'm not sure what to write about, ha ha! But here are some of my favorite pictures, and a few from EFY too ;)

Here's me and Josh at EFY! Aren't we so cute together? ;)

Here's me and my crazy co-counselors. We had so much fun! Loved them!

Here's my girls! Loved them all so much! They were great!

We hiked on a trail in Coleraine that had all these gorgeous waterfalls!

This is a castle just off the coast in Coleraine. So pretty!

Here's Josh and Stella! Aren't they so cute!

Powerscourt where the Count of Monte Cristo was filmed! So cool!

This was also at Powerscourt. They had so many cool things there!

Hope you enjoyed! :)

Snowbird Weekend

This weekend Josh's work had a study retreat up in Snowbird, and they've all been wanting to meet me so they invited me to come along. It was so beautiful up there and the weather was perfect! We stayed in a condo that was more like a hotel, and it was really nice. When we got there we looked around, ate lunch, and headed off on a hike. It was so pretty and we saw lots of little squirrels and even a couple of deer. Then we got free passes to go on the tram that takes you all the way up to the top of the mountain. When we got up to the top there was still a ton of snow so we couldn't hike any of the trails up there, but we just wandered around a little and took a bunch of pictures. It was really fun!


After we got back from riding the tram, we decided to hike around a little more and found a really pretty river. Here are some of the pictures we took (Josh was really scaring me)...



After hiking around all day, we finally got settled into the condo. It was so funny because Josh's boss brought a bunch of fun little toys since her grand kids were coming up later the next day so we played with bubbles on our balcony and it was really fun! We made some huge bubbles too and there was a wedding happening below us so I'm sure we just added to the festivities, ha ha! Then we went and ate dinner at a Mexican place downstairs and it was delicious! After dinner, Josh and I went hot tubbing for awhile, but we were bummed because the one on our balcony was broken so we had to use the community one. Then we went back and played games with his coworkers until like two in the morning. It was a blast though! And while we were playing we discovered that there was a mouse in our condo and it scattered off into the bedroom I had to sleep in! But I survived the night with no mouse attacks, thank goodness! So overall it was a really fun adventure and it was nice to get away and spend some time with Josh :)
