Summer/Fall Update Finally

Ok everyone! I have finally gotten my act together (and pictures) and am doing one giant summer/fall update! I apologize for how long it took me to do this! :) Not going to lie, part of the hesitance to get things updated is that I gained a lot of weight this year from all of the stress of my previous emotional job   and other random stresses in life. However, I have decided that I just need to realize we all have our ups and downs in weight and soon (now that I have been running and exercising on a regular basis) I will be back to a comfortable healthy weight and proud to look back at these pictures and see how far I have come! Anyway... here we go folks!

SUMMER

Summer was filled with A LOT of fun! In the past, Ty and I have always been so busy with school and our 2-3 jobs each, that summers have not always been so great. However, Ty cut back to one job and I quit my job and was unemployed for 2 months this summer, so we had time to have fun! 

Ty and I on the Carousel at Hogle Zoo

Our first adventure was taking a trip down to Provo and Salt Lake to see my sister Carlene. Ty and I went to Hogle Zoo because we are 5 yrs old, and we also went with Ty's family to Lagoon. 

Ty thought it would be ironic since I HATE spiders!

We had such a blast, and I got FRIED since I hadn't seen the sun in ages!

The next adventure was Ty participating in Logan's craft summerfest this year! Neither of us had ever done anything like this before, and although it was slightly (ok, maybe more than slightly) stressful, it was still a lot of fun! Here is a picture of some of the flowers Ty made...

Some of the flower fun. I helped paint them! YAY!

The next adventure was something Ty completely surprised me with. He literally woke me up one day and just said, "We are going on an adventure! Pack your things!" Well, secrets don't sit well with me because I tend to have to know everything! So I finally got it out of him about halfway through the drive where we were going... FLAMING GORGE!!! 

This was probably one of the most interesting trips I had ever been on. Tyler had not booked anywhere for us to stay, so when we got there it was hilarious trying to find a hotel. Then, we spent a whole day just sitting on a little fishing boat that we rented with our puppy in the middle of the lake talking and having a blast! Honestly, it really was a fun and adventurous trip! I didn't get too many pictures, but here are a few:

Ty found this on the side of the road! HA!

The rest of the summer consisted of trips to Bear Lake, A LOT of fishing, and hanging out quite a bit with our friends Kristen and Richard Christensen. Here is a last view of the summer fun...

Kristen and I at Bear Lake! SO FUN!

I caught a fish! (Don't look at my nasty fat arm)

Kristen and her husband at Bear Lake. Aren't they cute!

This sign is a REALLY long story! But every time I look at it... I can't help but BUST up laughing!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Ok, the last thing that I am going to add to this MASSIVE blog are a few pictures of this beautiful fall! Seriously, Fall makes me so happy!



Here are a few pictures of my crazy fall decorations! YAY!

Ty made an AMAZING pumpkin soup, and to doll it up he turned these little pumpkins into soup bowls! I thought it was so clever! AND YUMMY!!!!

Anyway everyone, that is the end of this long overdue update! Hopefully the upcoming holidays will be blogged in a timely manner. Ha! Love you all! 

Till next time...
