Rich and Jellystone!

NOTICE the grizzly bear. He wants Rich. I know it.


Rich and I went to Yellowstone with Britt and Marc over the 4th of July weekend. It was rad. Yellowstone was awesome. I haven't been there since I was like thirteen, so it was fun to see it. There were so many animals! Buffalo, "moosen," deer, foxes and we even saw a grizzly bear!

We froze the first night because we were "smart" and only packed one sleeping bag and some blankets. It was 90 degrees in Provo, and we were lazy (we didn't want to drive out to Mapleton and get his bag), so we thought we would be fine. Wrong! It dropped down to 31 degrees the first night....we ended up going to our car and blasting the heat...ahahah. Good times! We now have more experience and two sleeping bags, so we are ready!

Dreams

I remembered this quote a little bit ago, and I wanted to post it because I love it so much.

~A dream is a wish your heart makes when you're fast asleep. In dreams you will lose your heartaches. Whatever you wish for, you keep. Have faith in your dreams, and someday, your rainbow will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dreams that you wish will come true~

Scooter Time

Motorcycles, scooters and bikes rock my world... :)

4-H and Fishing

s


Rich and I went fishing with the kids that we mentor in 4-H. It was super fun. Dylan for sure had fun. I hope Alicia did too. She is not a huge out-door fan, but she did try casting a couple times. Rich took us to the Trout Farm or as Dylan called it, "Instafish". It was a cool place because you catch a fish the moment you put your pole in. I love the 4-H program. It is really fun to plan activities with these kids, and it is awesome to get to know them. They are moving in May, but hopefully we can keep up with the program. I will have to find out if Hastings has the same program. Oh, and Dylan told me that John Adams wanted the turkey be the national bird, but they chose the eagle. Rich said it is a good thing we chose the eagle. If we hadn't, most American' would be eating the national bird every Thanksgiving. Dylan and Rich are both pretty smart and funny. :)

Camping + Hiking = Vital Necessity

Rich came and picked me up from work yesterday and told me we were going camping. I had stuff I needed to do at home, so I could have said no, but I didn't, so we went to Zion's! I am soooo glad we went. It was so much fun. We camped overnight at this place called Mosquito something, and then we hiked up to Angel's Landing. That was a crazy scary hike. I liked it, but I feel safer when I have a harness on. It was gorgeous, and so much fun. Things are getting crazy busy this summer, and I know they will only get crazier when I start the accelerated BSN program, but I want to remember to always go camping and hiking. I'm lucky to have Rich. Camping and hiking should be a monthly duty. If not a monthly duty, at least a yearly requirement for humanity. Anyway YAY for Utah and camping and hiking and Angel's Landing and tents and fires and Germans who travel the world.

Graduation

Rich and I after BYU's commencement


Rich being a graduated stud-muffin. Hahaha!


Rich graduated! I am so proud of him. I never could have finished a bachelors in biology from BYU. His classes were way hard. He is still working towards dental school and is applying in June. He is on Creighton's Dental School waiting list, and a couple other schools too. Rich got sick on the night before he walked though. I felt so bad for him. I woke up at like 3am and heard him throwing up. He did walk, but he went back to bed and was sick for about a week. At least he was able to walk though! Yay for my graduated hus-band!
