Vacation & Valentine's Day

Two weekends ago we got to get away and spend some time with Logan's family in St. George. It was so nice to just relax and hang out with family. We played some games, ate lots of yummy food, played with lil' Presley and chilled. I even got Logan to let me get In-N-Out....so good! We may not look very happy in this pic but we totally are! Anytime we get to sit on the couch, laugh and joke with family and just relax we are happy.

Last weekend we slept in, packed up a few things and headed up to Sandy. Though it isn't far from Provo it was still nice to get away and spend the night in a hotel. We got a great deal at a brand new Hyatt. So instead of battling the terrible Valentine's dinner crowds we made dinner at the hotel, it had a full kitchen in the room, and had some dessert. We had to go to the grocery store to get some chicken for our pasta and we felt like we were in a different state! I was joking about how we should pretend to be in a different place we'd never been so it would feel more like a vacation. But when we went to look for a grocery store we really did get lost and had no idea where we were! We thought we could rely on Logan's iPhone to get us there but for some reason google maps was totally wrong so it took about 45 minutes just to find a grocery store. Goodness! After all that we got settled in, made some dinner and enjoyed our time alone.

We are very grateful right now for all the time we've had to relax in the past few weeks. School and work makes the weeks very long so every minute of down time is appreciated! We are excited for this summer and are very grateful for this amazing opportunity to live in Washington DC. Life is great!

We're so excited!

Logan decided last year sometime that he was going to do summer sales this summer. Luckily as a married couple we can go together and pay basically nothing for our rent. We had some ideas of where we were going...Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, or St. Louis. But as we were on our way to St. George we got a text message from Logan's manager. And yes it's finally official we get to spend the whole summer in....WASHINGTON DC!!! We are so excited, especially because it was such a surprise. Too bad Logan will be working Monday-Saturday all day because it's going to be so much fun sight seeing all summer, sorry Logan. I went to DC April of 2007 for my brothers wedding and even though I wanted to, I thought I'd never go back. Logan also went to DC when he was on his church history trip after high school. But now we're going again and we can't wait! It is going to be quite an adventure, something we'd never do otherwise. We leave the beginning of May and will be back the end of August.

Just thought we'd share our good news with everyone.

Weekend Get-a-way

We are takin' off to St. George this weekend and I am so excited! It will be really nice to just get away for a weekend and relax. I feel like I've been going full speed for the past month since school started and I need a break! We're gonna spend the weekend with Logan's family and just kick back. Hopefully we'll get the chance to eat at In-N-Out too...yumm! Unfortunately we aren't gonna have time to go to the St. George Temple, but I can at least enjoy a picture of it, so beautiful!

Sorry for the lack of pictures lately...we accidentally left my camera charger in San Francisco on our honeymoon. I know I should have bought a new one since then, but I just haven't.

Happy Friday everyone!

LOST!

Tonight is Lost night! We started watching Lost on DVD last summer before we got married. It started out with just watching one episode per night and then it turned into two episodes then three and eventually a whole disc per night! So I guess you can say...we're hooked! At first I really hated it cause it kindof creeped me out and always left you with unanswered questions but now...it's just fun! We don't watch too many TV shows anyway so we like having this one we watch every Wednesday. And my guilty pleasure...the Bachelor each week! Haha, it's such a dumb show but it's a good way to relax after a long Monday at work. Anyway, we're excited to watch Lost tonight and I hope everyone else who watches Lost enjoys it!

Life happens sometimes...

Well we've had some crazy stuff happen in the past couple weeks. Not gonna go into detail about it but I know it has made our marriage stronger and also has made us appreciate family even more. We are staying with David & Natalie for a bit while Logan is between jobs, and we couldn't be more grateful to them. Family really is the coolest thing in the world. I am so thankful for the family I have, we are strong and willing to do anything for eachother. I am grateful to my Father in Heaven for blessing me with such an amazing family.
Yesterday Blake and Logan left for Mesquite to help my dad with a few things at Canyon View (the mobile home park). That means that last night was the first night Logan and I have been apart since we were married. I know I know it's not a big deal, but it was weird. I miss him!
Other than that we both are back in school and loving it. We are taking a Geology class together and it's a lot of fun.
We've decided that so far....we don't like 2009! I hope 2009 is treating everyone else better than it's treating us so far. :)
