A Day of Fun in The Sun!

On the 18th of August, Shaun and I were able to spend the day with our friends Christie and Matt. It was a lot of fun! Our first stop was river rafting down the Provo River! It is always so fun! This was the third year that we have run the Provo River!

This year was slightly eventful. There is a point in the river that there are two bridges that they instructed you to get out of the river and walk around them. Well we get to this point and there were two other rafts getting out at the same time as us.  We didn't quite go into the shore the angle that we needed to and so we ended up heading towards the bridges. Luckily the people from the other rafts came to grab us and Shaun quickly jumped out. The only problem with this was that is the process of all of this happening Shaun lost his paddle. We were able to see that someone down river got it and so we knew it would make it back to were it needed to go. We were eventually able to catch up to the guy that picked it up and got it back so we could return it.

After our river rafting adventure we headed to Seven Peaks in Provo. I hadn't ever been before, but I do have to say it was A LOT of fun! I think it is WAY better than Seven Peaks in SLC (formerly know as Raging Waters). They have a lot more slide options and everything just seemed nicer!

All in all it was a great day!

Thanks Christie and Matt for sharing your pictures with us!

Paddling is hard work!

Our First Demolition Derby

Last Saturday Shaun and I went to our first demolition derby with our friends Christie and Matt. I wasn't sure about it in the beginning. It was kind of slow the first two rounds, but once we got to the third and fourth round it was AWESOME!! We had seats on the second row and a lot of the action seemed to happen on our end of the arena, so needless to see we got sprayed with mud and different fluids from the cars. The wind definitely didn't help with this. Shaun has an awesome idea for the next time we go to one... Plexiglass! I think it is a GREAT idea.

Here are some pictures:

Demolition Derby!!!

Let's get caught up!

It's been an exciting 3 months.  I stayed pretty busy with work and school, but that didn't stop me for added doing taxes with my Grandpa to my schedule. Granted I didn't work there very often due to my schedule, but I still worked a few days. Luckily I didn't have class on Tuesdays this term so Shaun and I were able to spend V-Day together :) To start our V-Day celebration out Shaun had roses sent to me at work on the 13th, since I didn't work on the 14th. He wanted me to be the special one to receive roses at work! I definitely did feel special!! On Valentine's Day evening we headed down to the Old Spaghetti Factory in Orem to see "King Arthur & Lancelot: For the Love of Guinevere" a dinner theater production put on by Salty Dinner Theater Company. The show was pretty good. It was definitely an interested evening...

For Shaun's present for V-Day I did my first Pinterest project. I made a little book of 52 Reason I love him. It turned out pretty cute. 

I don't think we really did anything else that was big during February, So lets move on to March :)

We had our annual Pi Day Celebration! It was a lot of fun. We didn't have as many people show up this year as we did last year, but we still had a lot of fun! I made my first ever pie and it was DELICIOUS!! I have made it a few times since Pi Day! 

I finished up my second to last term of school! Only 10 more weeks at that point to go!! To finish up my term I had a couple off-site I need to do for clinic. One of the off-sites I did was to go and work on Grizzles players! It was pretty cool. I only worked on one player (who was brand new to the team) and a couple of staff members, but it was still a lot of fun. After I was done with that they gave me a couple tickets to the game so Shaun and I were able to go watch the game. I thought it was a lot of fun. Then again I LOVE going to hockey games! Shaun wasn't so sure about it. We are going to go again with friends sometime and see if it is funner for him. He also wasn't feeling the best, so I don't think that helped matters.

Another big thing that happened during March was Shaun went to Atlanta, Georgia for a week to finish putting together his new company, Chatmongers, with his business partner. They spent a lot of time working, but they were able to go check out Stone Mountain.

Now on to April! The Sunday of conference weekend we went to his parents house for breakfast and lunch and to watch conference. This has become somewhat of a tradition and it is always pretty fun.

The following weekend Shaun and I went to Color Me Mine with My Mom and Christie and Matt. It was a lot of fun! I LOVE going to Color Me Mine and it was fun to have some guys there. We normally do it as a Girls Day activity, but we changed it up a little bit this time. After we were done with that Christie and Matt came over to our house and we dyed Easter eggs!

For My Birthday this year we went to Olive Garden with my Parents and Grandpa before I headed off to school for the rest of the evening. I did get to go do a session at the Jordan River Temple during the day, which was a nice birthday present to myself! All in all it was a GREAT birthday!

The next day Shaun and I went and saw The Princess Bridesmaid at Desert Star Playhouse! It was so fun! I am really glad we got season tickets there this year. It is early in the production and you could kind of tell. There were a few times that they messed up their lines, but when they did they made it entertaining. I can't wait until the next show! 

Well I think that pretty much gets us caught up! We are enjoying the weather we have had! Zoey loves when we go for walks, so we try and go as much as possible. I have 3 weeks left of school and then I am done!! I should be a Licensed Massage Therapist by the middle of June!! I can't wait!!

Here are pictures from the last couple months!

August

August began with us celebrating our third anniversary! Time has flown by so quickly, but I have enjoyed every moment of it. Shaun is that most amazing husband. He is so supportive of me and for the I am truly blessed. I am so glad that I was lead to him and that I get to spend the rest of my life with him. I love you babe!

Another big thing that happened that same week is I finished my first term of school!!  I had four classes (Swedish Massage, Anatomy and Physiology, Therapeutic Principles and Tai Chi) and I ended up with A's in all of them!!! I got my first college 4.0!! I was super stocked about it (and still am!). It just feel SO good to finally be doing something that I love! I always look forward to going to school, because I know it is going to be so much fun! This term I am taking five classes (Cranial, Swedish Lab I, Practice Building I/Ethic, Pathology I and Shiatsu/OM) and am really enjoying them! Hopefully I do as well this term as I did last semester.

My comfy table

Shaun and I went to Lagoon twice during August due to their bounce back program. The first time we went we spend all day ride all the fun rides. We did decide that we can't handle the spinny rides as well as we used to handle them. The second time we went we spent most of our time at Lagoon-A-Beach, which was actually a lot of fun! I haven't been to Lagoon-A-Beach is a long time, so it was fun.

On the train

We were able to go river rafting down the Provo River again this year. This time we went with our friends Christie and Matt. It was a lot of fun and a lot less eventful, which was nice! We also went later in the day so it was a lot cooler, this was also really nice! I definitely think river rafting is fun. It is makes we want to go to a bigger river sometime!
