Last Days of Summer

Sadly, summer is almost over.....probably the most depressing words I could say right now. My last year of nursing school is just a few days away and I'm not exactly excited about it. I love nursing and everything but the stress of school is the bane of my existence. So, to counter this, my little sister came up to Salt Lake to visit us during my last week of freedom! We had so much fun! We did shopping, talking, baseball game, picnics, movies, ice cream, and so much more! I really loved having her here and it seems so quiet now that she's gone. My parents came up on Monday and took us to a Concert (The Scorpions, Tessla, and Jackyl). It was total 80's rock and we LOVED IT! There was one guy there who probably liked it a little too much but it was hilarious so we didn't mind haha. The next day everyone left and the house seems so lonely now :(. Thanks for coming to visit y'all. We love you!!



Rockin' out at the Scorpions concert with the crazy parents!

Having Briana visit was a blast!

Ohhhh Take Me Out to the Ballgame...

Josh got free tickets to the Salt Lake Bees game from his work (thanks University of Phoenix) so we spent our Friday evening in the sunshine drinking Diet Coke and enjoying the game. Sadly, we lost 12-1 so it wasn't the greatest game to watch but we spent more time talking and laughing than actually watching the game so it really didn't matter much. There were fireworks afterwards, and I have to say, they were really awesome!! Since it was just a baseball game I was prepared for a pretty lame firework display but I was so so wrong. They were probably the best fireworks I had seen in quite a while. I love getting to spend every holiday with my new husband. Being married is so great!

Cars and Hicks.....Happy Birthday America!

This weekend was such a great one! Josh started it off right with golfing before work and then came back to take me out to dinner afterwards :). We spent Saturday at the Demolition Derby in Ogden and there are no words..... For one thing, didn't mullets go out of style at least twenty years ago?? The lady trying to hit on the guy behind her (who had 4 front teeth missing) while she held a beer in one hand and a baby in the other basically topped off our entertainment. Yes, Utah's finest were at that derby, and if you know Josh at all, you can imagine how much fun we had just by people watching.

(Oh, and the cars crashing into each other and lighting on fire were really cool too!) haha

On Sunday we went to the Park City Parade with Josh's dad and had some yummy BBQ before it started. We ended our amazing weekend with a long (3 hour) nap and a bunch of M&M's.

Could Life get any better?? I think not!

The Beginning of Forever

I've been told that the best way to keep everyone updated on our life is to have a blog so I'm going to give it a try. I can't promise that it will be interesting or even updated very often but it's worth a try!

Well, here we are! Married (finally) and beyond happy. The wedding was so beautiful and we are so thankful for everyone who helped and supported us. Next came the honeymoon.....cruise to the Bahamas.....need I say more??? Now we are back in Salt Lake and while Josh is at work, I've been setting up our home! I love being married and I love my husband more than anything. We have only been married a few weeks and it already feels like we've always been together. I can't wait to see what eternity has in store for us!
