Wow! It's been a LONG time!

I can't believe how long it has been since I've updated my blog!!! Holy Cow!! I hope from now on I can keep up with this, but I can't promise anything! :) Just be forewarned this is going to be a LONG post! Well, hmmm I don't really know where to start! Me and Kyle had a GREAT summer...packed with vacations, bbq's, and fun times with friends and family!!! One of our favorite vacations was to Star Valley/Jackson Hole with my mom and dad. We rented a condo right on a golf course and stayed for a weekend. It was definitely action packed. We started off with a round of golf (of course) and then did some fishing and biking. But my favorite part was the white water rafting! I had never been before and was SO excited (although a little nervous, my dad even showed me a newspaper article an hour we were supposed to load the boat of a guy that had drowned on the river, THANKS DAD..real comforting!! haha) I don't have any pictures of the rafting because I didn't take my camera but it was a BLAST! The river was pretty shallow so the biggest rapid was not there but we had a lot of fun being in the front and paddling our guts out! My arms were SO tired!!

In August, we celebrated our 1 year anniversary!!!! I honestly can't believe it's already been a year!! It has been definitely a great year, even with all the ups and downs!! I have learned so much about Kyle and about myself!! I have learned that no matter what hard times may come, it will always end up OK! I have also learned that dishes, laundry, and other chores are not going to magically get done on their own! And if you want your husband to help out with those chores, you have to tell him and not just wish he would do them! I've learned I'm not a good cook. I can't keep the house clean longer than a day...but I'm trying!! :) I can't wait to learn more about Kyle and myself and for the many more of memories together! To celebrate we went up to Park City and stayed at the Canyons resort! We went to dinner at Squatters and then did some shopping the next day at the outlets. It was good to get away for a night and celebrate!!

September we celebrated Kyle's 25th birthday!!!! Half-a-century old...WOW!!! jk babe. He had a great day! I had to work unfortunately...I would have liked to spend the day with him but I couldn't get off!! Oh well! Anyway, I gave him his presents the night before so that he could use his new fishing net when he went! So while I was at work he went fishing and just relaxed. Then we met his family for a movie then went to dinner at Famous Dave's!!

As for other updates...

Kyle is still working as an insurance agent and is loving every minute of it! He gets to meet so many people and gets to be his own boss! Who wouldn't love that!

I just got a new job at Alpine Surgical Center as there Recovery nurse! I have been there for about 3 weeks now and I just work one day a week, so I'm still working at the pediatric clinic the other days! I love my new job..everyone is super nice!! I'm still looking for another position at the hospital but it has been really hard to find the right job for me! The right job will come when it's time though!!

We are both getting really excited for our trip to the Philippines in November. Kyle's parents are taking us back to his mission and we can't wait! I think Kyle is more excited than I am...don't get me wrong I'm excited to spend some time on the beach and do some snorkeling and hiking but I'm a little nervous for the 23 hour flight there and for the crazy foods, cars, and bugs! I'm sure we will have a blast!! I will let you know when I get back!! :)

I love this time of year!! The sweatshirt weather, soups, football games, and Halloween!!! I love Halloween...I love the decorations, the dressing up, seeing all the kids out on Halloween night with their bags of candy and costumes..can't get enough of it!! I think Kyle likes it mostly for the upcoming Jazz season! He can't wait...he is trying to get us to get cable so he won't miss a single game! He is a funny guy!! ha..

Well hopefully it won't be as long before I update, I'll try! :) But we hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!
