Happy Anniversary

Russell and I on our wedding day

Two months ago (on May 16th to be exact) Russell and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary!! (yes I'm a little behind) It has been such a fun 3 years- full of lots of fun and our share of trials- but something I wouldn't trade. Russell is an amazing man and I couldn't think of anyone better to spend eternity with.

We had the opportunity to celebrate our anniversary by attending the wedding of one of my good friends, Becky. She was sealed at the Salt Lake Temple- in the exact room that Russell and I were sealed in. I cried even more than usual because it brought back such wonderful memories of our wedding day. It was also such a great reminder of our sealing and the promises we made to each other. Russell, bless his heart, grabbed me about half the Kleenex box right before the ceremony started- so I was good to go! It was a beautiful day and I couldn't have thought of a better way to spend our anniversary. Congrats to Becky and Preston- such a cute couple!

The beautiful bride- Becky

Amber, Krystal, Becky & Linsey (aka the blonds!)

In between the sealing and the wedding luncheon we hung out around Temple Square and enjoyed some people watching. This was just one of the fun things we saw:

It's hard to see- but those are huge mohawks! They were doing a photo shoot by the fountain- So great!

Our original plan for our anniversary was to go 4-wheeling for the weekend, but we are SO glad they didn't have openings at the hotel because we would have missed the wedding. We did go 4-wheeling though the first week in June and had a blast! Pictures and a post to follow!

Happy Anniversary to my amazing husband!

I'm Obsessed...

My current obsession:

I'm not sure when or how we obtained this game but Carlye and I started playing this game when she was still in high school and I was living at home. (so about 5 years ago) We quickly became obsessed with it even then- playing till all hours of night- even on school nights! We would seriously play until our eyes hurt from staring at the screen! The phrase of the night- 'just one more game, just one more'.

I have been wanting to play this game again so I picked it up from my parents a few weeks ago, and after convincing my sweet husband to hook the PlayStation up in our room (after all- who wants to go all the way downstairs to play) I have fallen in love all over again!! Carlye and I stayed up last Friday night till almost 2 in the morning playing- it was just like old times! I will admit I have played it several times since it was hooked up last week- but I just can't seem to get enough of it! So if anyone wants to come play Tetris- come on over!! (but beware- the house and yard work have been ignored due to game playing- ha ha)

My First Attempt At Blogging

So my wonderful wife usually does this, but she is always telling me that I need to post something on here. She always has time at work to take several breaks a day and surf the net, but we have been punished at my work and can no longer get online.

There have been so many wonderful changes in my life since I've moved to Utah that I just can't post them all on here, so I won't share any with you.....ha ha j/k! I will start with today - I went on a ride-along with a conservation officer/game warden. It was a blast! We started out by going to a business downtown and catching a wild bird that managed to get inside somehow. It turned out to be a kestrel-member of the falcon family. We used a long pole with a fishing net attached to the end to get the little bugger. We only damaged a few things inside the "high end" store...ha ha j/k! Thoughts keep coming to mind of Chris Farley in the movie Beverly Hills Ninja where he's inside the antique place and pretty much destroys it trying to catch the fly :) We then headed up Parley's Canyon and check out a couple fishing places to see if people had their fishing licenses and were using the proper tackle.

Then we headed up Big Cottonwood Canyon and talked to a few people who were fishing on Big Cottonwood Creek. Everyone had their stuff in order so it wasn't fun...I was hoping we would run into people saying they didn't have their license and trying to run off so I could go tackle them :) Anywho, we drove up to the end of the canyon by Silver Lake. We walked around the lake and talked to those people fishing - again everyone had their licenses - losers. We did hear something walking in the bushes nearby and come to find out it was a very large bull moose feeding on some willow bushes. It ended up coming out of the bushes and a ton of people were taking pictures. I then had flashbacks of 2 summers ago up at Grandaddy Lake in the high uintahs when my bro in law Jerome and I were chased by a bull moose - not very fun - seeing my life flash before my eyes.

We then headed home since I can't be out very late since my beautiful body that I have during the day turns back to something not so pretty :)
