Finally some Zion pictures!

Here are the pictures I promised to post from our trip to Zion!

The Subway!











And here is a funny video of Josh when we did the Subway...


Key Hole Canyon!

New School Year... New Car!

Josh started school again yesterday, which is really weird for me... One, because we are married now and have spent our summer together, and now he will be very preoccupied with something else besides me :(, and two, because I'm not going back this semester. I guess it is kind of bitter sweet because I was totally burned out from classes, tests, and trying to find a parking spot at Weber is ridiculous, but I really think I'm sad that I don't get to go back. School gave me a lot of stress, but there was always something to do and accomplish... NOW WHAT? Well, to make ourselves feel better, Josh and I bought a new car yesterday! Ok, maybe we've been planning this purchase all summer, but still... it made us happy :) We bought a 2005 Toyota Matrix! It's got higher miles than we wanted and a few scratches and dings, but it runs great and looks so nice!!! Here she is...



We absolutely love our new car, even with her scratches and all :) This picture does a pretty good job of hiding her flaws though! ;)

And Even More Summer Fun!

Josh and I just went on a Wilde Adventure to Southern Utah! We went to Zion's and St. George this past week and had so much fun! We hiked the Subway in Zion which took us a lot longer than we expected, but it was really fun! The hike took us about 7 hours to complete. It was the hike in and the hike out of the subway that killed us though. The rest of it was great! I don't have any of the cool pictures from it on my camera, they are all on Josh's. So I will have to post them later ;) The second day we did Key Hole in Zion and it was probably my favorite thing we did! It was basically all canyoneering which requires you to repell down in between the rocks and there were lots of little bodies of water that we had to repell down into, which definitely helped with the heat. The last day we were there we just went swimming at the hotel and went to the Temple. Then we got to go see Tarzan at Tuacahn! Way fun! We did have a couple of unfortunate events happen however. First off Josh got a speeding ticket for no reason at all. We weren't even worried when we saw flashing lights behind us because we weren't doing anything wrong! The cop said we were going 74 in a 55 and there is no way that was even possible. Oh well, dumb cops... The next scary thing that happened was I woke up the last day we were there and suddenly remembered that I couldn't remember where I had put my ring! I didn't wear it much on our trip because I was afraid of ruining it or losing it, so I left it in the hotel. Well, after frantically searching the hotel room for a good 20 minutes, we got down on our knees and said a prayer. Then Josh went out to the car to look for it and I had a thought that I should get my cell phone. Kind weird... So I grabbed my purse, took my cell phone out and then started looking under the books on the desk. Then, right where I set my purse, I looked down at the floor and there it was!!! In plain sight!!! We looked all through that area before and there is no way that we could have missed it on the floor! Prayers are definitely answered! :) Here are some of the pics I have from our crazy trip!












Josh and I went on an overnight hike to Lewis Peak and had a blast!







We went up to Monte Cristo with Josh's side of the family and had a picnic!

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! :)
