The Last Hoorah!

School starts tomorrow which means we had to end our summer with a bang. We were thinking it wasn't going to happen because I haven't been feeling too well this week but we still managed to go the Box Elder Fair & Rodeo, a Demolition Derby in Preston AND we saw Bourne Legacy. All were awesome. We went to the rodeo with Ty's parents, he wanted to go on Wednesday because that's when the best rodeo is? That left our weekend free so on Friday we had our last true date night for a while and went to dinner AND a movie. I was a little skeptical about the new Bourne movie, but seriously, it was SO good. And the Preston derby....AMAZING. Probably my favorite derby we've been to. In 3 separate instances, there was a fire, the firemen used the jaws of life and the participate was driven away in an ambulance (no worries, he's all good now) and a car got tipped on it's side. All in all, a good way to end the summer, but still so sad that school's starting and it's back to class we go.

We Ate Cake!

So right after our first anniversary, I realized that we had forgotten to eat our top layer of cake! I was determined that we would eat so we were going to save it for 18 month anniversary (the 2nd anniversary of when we met) and we forgot again (at least Tyler claims that he forgot too). So I made the decision to wait until our 2nd anniversary! Ty hated the idea, but I was determined. But I forgot...again. A couple nights ago when we were cleaning out our freezer we saw it and I made the decision that we would pull it out right then (we weren't going to wait until anniversary #3!) and eat it the next night. So we did. It looked awesome and it tasted surprisingly good. Of course we didn't eat the fondant, and it wasn't the best but we each had a slice (with no negative side effects) and then tossed the rest.It was a very funny moment.

Anniversary Number 2

For our anniversary this year, Tyler wanted to surprise me with a mini little vacation. While he took many precautions to surprise me, I proved to be too sneaky for my own good. I snooped and found out we were going to Hairspray at the Tuacahn amphitheatre down in St. George (YAYYYY!) Tyler knows that I love musicals and so he was willing to suffer through the whole thing with me. Unfortunately we both had to work that day so we didn't get out of Logan until about 5:30 PM! We arrived in St George late last night and slept in (yes!) the next morning. All day Saturday we bummed around the city, enjoyed shopping at the outlet mall, the mall, ate lots of good food and stopped in at other little stores along the way. Hairspray didn't start until 8:45 that night and we realized that was a good thing because it was HOT HOT HOT that day.  It got up to 106 and stayed around there most of the day so luckily the sun wasn't beating down on us the whole time we were there. We had talked about going to Vegas a couple of times so after the show (around midnight) we head to Vegas. We got there around 1:30 and decided to go see if the Stratosphere was open, it was. So we went on the Big Shot...wow. It was crazy and it gave you a crazy view of Vegas when you are clear up there above it all. We then just walked around (lost $4 in the slots) and around 3:30 decided we were way tired and headed back to St. George. We got back around 6AM and zonked out until 10:40 showered and we were out of there by 11 for check-out. After that we had a lazy Sunday mid-morning. Hiked a bit in the red rock, but I forgot my shoes so we didn't do lots, and then headed home. It was a perfect, relaxing anniversary. It's always nice being able to spend a lot of time with your best friend and we got 2 whole days to do whatever we wanted. We're very lucky to have each other. Happy 2 years :)

We spent a LOT of time driving!

Another Fun Weekend!

This weekend we were finally able to get Tyler's sisters family out on the lake. A few friends were able to make it too. There were SO many boats on that little lake that it was impossible to do anything but tube.

We did that for a while...until the boat broke. :(

The men tried to fix it for a bit, but once they decided it needed a new fuel filter it was time to go. Unfortunately the boat would not start so the boys got to pull it in. Lucky them!
We were also able to see my family this weekend at the blessing of my little baby cousin. It was fun to see all of them and we ended the weekend by celebrating Ty's moms b-day with their family.

Fishing and Swimming

During the week Tyler wanted to go fishing so we grabbed our poles and headed out. Tyler likes to fly fish so we went up the canyon to upper second dam and scared off all the little children that were there so we could fish. (Well so that Tyler could fish, I just helped out when needed and read my book :))

 Tyler caught one little guy, but he was small enough that we decided to put him back (it was totally on purpose). But at least he proved to me that he could catch a little fishy on a fly rod. Hopefully next time we'll catch a few more so we can have some yummy fish for dinner!

Yesterday was my work swim party, it was for all of the city employees so it was a little packed. We went with some friends from work and it ended up being a very good night. Jake and Tyler decided to go off the diving boards, but Kylee didn't want to get her face wet and I just didn't want to jump in. But here's the boys.
