One More Year


Well, looks like we get to stay in lovely arctic Utah for another year. We are a little bummed but are trying our hardest to be positive and look at the bright side...after all, there are some things we would miss about happy valley. We were so ready to pack our bags and move to Arizona, but I know that Heavenly Father must have a very good reason for delaying that step for now. So, I will continue to go to UVU and Chip will be graduating this summer. Hopefully we will be able to move to Phoenix by next fall, I've got a bad itch for being in warm weather with our family and friends, not to mention that I would only be 6 hours driving time from my parents. Oh well, things happen for a reason, right?!

Hike to Bridal Veil




We have been enjoying our spring afternoons very much. Today I came home from work and then ran some errands with Chip. Just as we were headed to the gym, Chip had a bright idea. With beautiful weather like this, (in the high 70's, cause for celebration!!) why not take exercise outdoors?! So he proposed that we take an afternoon hike up to Bridal Veil Waterfall in Provo Canyon. I have to admit that I am the typical girly-girl wuss that is reluctant to do outdoor stuff like this. But I was definitely enjoying this hike! It is beautiful up there. The view atop is gorgeous and the actual site of the waterfall is beautiful. What a wonderful world we live in. What is also remarkable to me is to know how much influence someone you love and admire can have on your life. I love that my husband encourages me to be a better person by learning to take on new experiences and to put aside my fears. I never thought I would enjoy hiking or rock climbing, etc, but he definitely brings out the best that I have in me and pushes me to be aware of my potential. He is so amazing.

Isn't he cute?











I just had to post this picture. I love how photogenic Chip is. He is such a cutie.This was taken at my friend Pam's wedding last night. It is so neat to share these events with great friends. Needless to say that Chip was loving all the attention he gets from the clan when he is being goofy!! We all had a great time!
