Seattle




Christine and I took a weekend trip to Seattle so that she could visit her family, I could meet her parents for the first time and so we could get a little needed vacation. A large part of the trip was our adventure on Orcas Island, one of the San Juan Islands in the Puget Sound. We took a fairy leaving from Anacortes and came ashore, car and all. Over the next 2 days we explored the island: did many hikes, saw sites and visited the local stores, built fires and slept in a rustic cottage over 100 years old, right on the water. We ran the gamut of weather conditons including: snow, rain, sunshine, cloudy and foggy. We had to time our pictures just right so as to be able to capture the panoramic view before weather set in and covered it up. We had a great time-good people, good food, good competition for games..... good atmosphere!

Week With Tyler!


This past week Tyler surprised me by coming up to Provo with Christine! :) They were here from Wednesday to Saturday. It was SO much fun, I honestly haven't had that much fun in a long time. I was so glad to spend some time with Ty and Christine and her younger sister Bonnie, who also goes here to BYU. We did tons of fun things like going to Bonnie's basketball and soccer intramurals (which were fun to watch!) and they went to my intramural intertube waterpolo game and we played badminton for hours and went to Chuck E. Cheese's and played card games and went hiking at Aspen Grove and Sundance and took lots of pictures and had einstein bagels and pizza and had contests....and we laughed A LOT. :) Here are some pictures! Thanks Tyler and Christine for coming to see us!

Favorite Quote of the Week!

"The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache."-
