Sisters trip pictures

Lately we have had a lot going on. For almost two weeks straight we always had someone staying the night. My parents were in town dropping Conner off at BYU, Josh's parents were in town getting ready to go the MTC and be set apart as mission presidents, and my sisters stayed with us for a couple of days to hang out with me, so we've had lots of fun. I only have pictures though with my sisters, sorry, but I know my mom and mckay will like looking at some of them, so here are a couple.

Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House

This is how Maddy preferred hiking the Y... I don't know if you can tell here, but it was steep and Josh is running.

I know this isn't the best picture, but we made it to the Y, so I had to document it.

WE had fun exploring BYU and the duck pond. The girls didn't like all the stairs though.

Also, Fat Cats has free bowling for kids 12 and under, so they each got two free games, it was lots of fun.

thanks for coming to stay with us for the week. I hope you enjoyed your plane ride home.

Thursday Adventure

Thursdays have been my favorite days this summer because Josh has the day off and I only had my aerobics class, so we got all day to spend together. It was our Saturday. Since I didn't have my class yesterday we got the whole day. We decided to go to Park City. They have a lot of summer activities, but it is kind of expensive to do it all, plus it was kind of raining when we got there, so we weren't sure how much we'd be able to do, so we went shopping instead. After that we decided to go back to the mountain and see if we could do something else fun. We ended up taking a scenic lift and I loved it, and I think Josh liked the part when we got off at the top and then again when we got off at the bottom, but it was really pretty.This was the name of the ski run, but I think Josh was afraid it was the name of the ski lift itself.PC stands for Park City... I took this one for my brother though because when he was on his mission we called him the PC- the perfect child because once he left my mom suddenly forgot all the bad and annoying things he had ever done, she has since remembered... love you DD!!

Diamond Camping

We went camping on Wednesday and it was a lot of fun. Since it was a weekday, and since it was raining, we had the campsite all to ourselves! Well, it was us and some very loud cows. We bought a tent and all the stuff a little while ago, but we hadn't been able to make it out yet due to school, work, visitors, and being sick, but we finally made it and it was worth it. I am really upset though because my camera died after two pictures, not what was supposed to happen... The campground was in the Uinta forest and it was beautiful and green! The picture I have doesn't do well at showing how beautiful it was, but I didn't get anymore. After we woke up and paked up, we headed out on hike to some hot springs. It was longer than I had expected, but it was great! When we finally got to the hotsprings there was a family there, and since they aren;t big, we decided to keep going farther, we saw a waterfal and wanted to get closer to it. Lucky near the waterfall were more hot springs, so we had them to ourselves. The water was VERY HOT! I could barely keep my feet it for a second, but it was nice. I really wish I had gotten a picture of the waterfall and springs, but maybe next time. Josh said next time we go we are brining a wet suit and helmet, so he can go under the waterfall into a little rock cave we found. It looked like fun, but dangerous and very cold, so I was glad he didn't attempt it.

Anyways, it was fun. Now I am sitting at home finishing an essay for my American Novel class. I thought I'd enjoy this class before I took it, but it really didn't end up that way. I enjoyed some of the books, but I really disliked going to class. It was two hours three days a week of listening to my teacher talk with a southern Utah accent and tell us the most random stories and not much from the novels we were reading. I am glad this class is over. Well, I have two more days of it, but I can do that. I can't believe I only have one more term of school. I graduate in August and I am so excited! My little brother comes up next week for summer term and I am so glad I get to be here with him for a little bit before we leave. It will be fun, I really love summer! I hope everyone has a great summer!

Lani likes: sunny days (especially Thursdays because Josh is off work), eating ice, and enjoying wonderful cookies made by her husband

Lani dislikes: rude people, writing papers on books she doesn't understand, and "gardening" (really, it's just pulling weeds... no fun)

Josh likes: eating cookies, ice cream, and various forms of meat, having a nice looking yard and learning to fix things around the house, and relaxing and spending time with his wife

Josh dislikes: many of aspects of his job, the fact that we couldn't watch the basketball games due to fact that we don't have ESPN, when we don't have good food in the house 

"The smile on your face"

1 year ago today I became the happiest girl ever

I had no idea 1 year ago that I would be as happy as I am today.  I absolutely love my life.  I have an amazing husband and all because one year ago he asked me to marry him.  Best decision ever.  I feel really grateful today and I love it.  I LOVE BEING HAPPY!  I know most everyone that reads this blog has been married a lot longer than I have, but I love it! I often feel the need to say that I am married out loud, (not because I forget, just because if often seems too good)... which usually makes Josh laugh at me, but I love it.  Any

ways, I know this is nothing important to anyone (not that what I say is ever important to others... but that's okay with me) but I like posting when I am happy and feeling grateful, hence the reason for my post today!

SMILE!!!

All Time Favorite!!

or maybe I should say all time favorite for the week.... but same thing.....

ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

I am in love all over again.  I'm doing all I can to not go get one out of the freezer right now.

just a reminder: WEAR SUNSCREEN 

I can't believe it is May!

I should be reading Huck Finn... but I am really good at procrastinating it. Plus, it is hard book to get through in one week... It takes me a long time to read the language...

I have started Spring term so now I teach one aerobics class, then I have two classes... Chronic disease prevention and American novel. I am already bored with my first class, and my novel class is crazy. We have six novels, one for each week. And my teacher was telling us that Carmen and Marlowe rhyme... WHAT? If someone can explain this to me that'd be great... I am not an english expert...

Other than school and reading I just have fun at home and wait for Josh to get home. So I like doing crafts. My sisters got me a magnetic board for my birthday and I just finished decorating it. I like it, but I feel like it needs something else, but don't know what to do. Also, I cut my hair. It was falling out like crazy and we thought it would be best to cut it... I like it so far, but I am no good at styling it. I tried it curly today and I don't think I will be doing that for awhile.
