Life has been so great lately...we all know how it can be taking a leap of faith, but it has been worth it!!! I decided to move out to Reno this last year around January. What canI say my grandfather would call me crazy for moving for a man but its been worth it. I met Steve almost 4 and a half years ago, and honestly I don't know what I was thinking then....he says I was a little but bratty I would prefer to call myself a little immature. Nonetheless when it comes down to it I'm here in Reno so I guess it all worked out.
Life has been fantastic lately!! We have some amazing adventures and we are able to grow closer together as we experience life together. Here is just some of what we have been up to lately....
We took a WONDERFUL (and I use wonderful here VERY loosely) trip to Colorado for the 4th of July. After a 15 hour drive our first day in Vail we ate some Qdoba and got food poisoning sometime around 1am. That left us pretty bent out of shape the the next day and a half. It was horrible!!! My family had planned this trip and all these hikes and things for us to do, but we couldn't even keep water down. Needless today we touched it out for a little bit and went for a bike ride. It was beautiful and we really enjoyed it. I just wished we could have enjoyed a little more of the vacation than we did. But other than getting sick it was pretty fun!!!
Towards the end of July we were able to take a trip to Idaho for Steve's family reunion. This one went a LOT better than mine. And included no food poisoning!! We went and met up with his two sisters and then his parents. It was a wonderful visit. I got to se BYU-I for the very first time. I loved seeing Steven light up as he showed us around campus and where his old classrooms were. It was a TON bigger than I thought. I guess in my mind it was this small little school, but NO it was beautiful and huge! We also got to spend a day roaming around Jackson Hole and we went rafting. It was a blast and I enjoyed it so much. It was also fun because we were able to meet up with one of Steve's friends Rustin and his wife Allison. They met up to show us around BYU-I and then they came rafting with us:) we finished our trip with Stevens wonderful talent of taking photos. So they hd family photos and then we headed out. We had a blast and were sad that we had to leave and VERY exhausted.
We had a super exciting moment where I felt my first earthquake. Now being from Colorado the most "natural disaster" that I've really experienced is a blizzard but that's about it. So I was at school (for my job....I work in the before and after school program) and suddenly I felt my feet shaking. It felt like someone had just jumped off the table and landed on the ground...but suddenly the whole building started to shake... I saw the rafters swaying back and forth. It only lasted for a couple seconds and then it was done! It was crazy I didn't know if it as wind or what...come to find out I experienced my first earthquake.. It was a 4.2 which really means nothing to me besides the fact that the ground was shaking....nonetheless it was so fun to live through and experience, and now I know when that happens to get under a table...opps!!! It was great!!! That week I also register for graduation!!!! YIPPEE!!! It is official I will be graduating from BYU come April 2014:) it took a little bit to figure everything out but I got all my classes and online stuff going!! And man I'm so excited:) I can't wait to be done!!!
We had a great Labor Day weekend, we drove to Boise ID to grab a '96 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo. (Okay I have no idea if that's even what it's called I should know considering its Stevens favorite car...but I don't know what the R/T means and if that's even something important. I just know that it was red:) ) and between you and me I LOVE that car!!! I drove it back from Idaho and man it was probably one of the best drives I've had. We started off with a rough start (I may have killed it twice right off the bat), but it ended really week. And what can I say I now can tell Steven that I love one of his cars based off something besides color. So that took most of Saturday and Monday we went for a hike out in California. (You see one blessing of being in Reno is that Cali is literally a twenty minute drive from us!) so we headed to a crystal mine and had a blast looking for crystals...I mostly just dug stuff up...okay so they were mostly rocks...but it was a blast!! We finally found some big ones right before we left! Put it on the list of things to do when near Reno:) it was a fantastic weekend and we both were exhausted and not so ready to start work the next day. That about sums up our lives here:) can't wait for more adventures:):)
