August = School.
So school finally started on Monday last week.. This is my first year of college. I've been lookingforward to it since I moved here in October! Everyone kept telling me that once school actually started I wouldn't be so excited. & I kept telling them "I will still be excited! I love school." I was wrong of course.. to much homework, not enough time for anything & you can't do anything without having the these words come across your brain: "Have you finished all your homework? Did you turn in that essay? Did you take that quiz? Did you read the next chapter?" & blah blah blah. & while I still love school.. I definitely want summer back! It went by way to fast. Didn't it just start? Didn't I just got married?.. wait no that was almost 3 months ago.. where the heck did the time go??
The Dark Knight Rises:
Did you know that I love batman? Well I do.. he probably is one of the best Super Heroes there is! Anyway.. After that crazy psycho incident in Colorado, I did not want to see the new batman: "The
Dark Night Rises" I was creeped out that someone could do such a thing to innocent people! But then
I realized, this world isn't as good as we think it is sometimes.. Creepy things like that do, in fact
happen.So finally Dee convinced me to see it. It was CREEPY!!
(Sometimes it is hard taking pictures with a smart phone.. at least for me.)
The Washington County Fair:
This might be surprising.. But I actually Love going to the fair.. or a carnival, or a festival.. pretty
much anything like that. Anyway so Dee was going to take me to the fair on Thursday the 9th of
August.. but that weekend I was going up to Weezer, ID for my great grandma's funeral so we went after work Wednesday the 8th of August instead (Which was opening night) We were only there for maybe 1 or 2 hours... I'm kind of sad we didn't get to go on the ferris wheel. ): But next time I told
Dee we have to go on it!! It was still fun walking around looking at everything even though it was SO hot!
Going to the temple before leaving:
Dee & I decided when we got married that once a week we would attend the temple. (Even if we're
on vacations) (Click on this link if you have no idea what a temple is or what the purpose of it is or simply because you're not
LDS: http://mormon.org/faq/topic/temples/question/together-forever) So I was supposed to leave around noon with my
grandma, Aunt Nan, & cousins on Thursday August 9. Dee & I had not gone that week at all & I was
going to be gone until Sunday. So we decided we would get up early & got to the 8:00 Session! It was fun & definitely made my day better.
(St. George Temple)
Idaho Trip!
Since the funeral was in Weezer, ID I was super close to where my mom lives! I was so excited to see her! (I had not seen her since my wedding in June so 2.5 months.) The drive was about 10-11
hours. CRAZY long! haha. But it was fun driving with my cousins.
We left on Thursday because my cousin Courtney was graduating on Friday morning at 11am. So weall got to see her graduate! Then we left from Salt Lake to Idaho. We arrived at my grandparents house at 9pm & I got to just talk with my mom all night. It was much needed! (My mom is one of my best friends. I'm so so so blessed to have her as my mother!) I talked to her about the honeymoon & all the funny stories & we just caught up. The then funeral service was early the next morning (Saturday the 11th of August) followed by a luncheon. After that I went back to my grandparent's house & my Aunt Danielle & Aunt Jolie were there & they had me tell the story about how Dee & I met. It was fun. To end the night my mom & I popped homemade popcorn & watched a weird movie.. That I wouldn't Recommend to anyone.. haha So we turned it off early.. & I left at 7am on Sunday morning.
Couldn't go camping..
But that wasn't going to stop us from having "Tin Foil Dinners"
OR
Roasting marshmallows over our stove...
OR
Making S'mores(:
We were supposed to go camping with our friends... But Dee got hurt at work & he wasn't able to going the water at the lake, So we ended up not going. I was sad that we weren't able to go, but then we found out you can't even built a stinking fire in Utah right now!! So to me it's NOT camping, unless there is a fire. & I was looking forward to roasting marshmallows, so I guess it turned out good that we weren't able to go ;) (Besides not hanging out with our friends.)
Baking With the Hubby:
Date night: Making cookies together!
Who would have thought that would be so much fun?? Well it was! I love the date night jar! Dee & I
get to try things we never thought of doing together.. & it makes good memories & I think we learn a
lot about each other (Even though we already know a lot ;)) Here are some pictures:
I'm so lucky to have a husband that bakes with me (:
Me putting the cookies into the oven (: ----->

Swimming With the Ward!
Last Monday our ward (Do not know what that is? Click here: http://mormon.org/faq/topic/church/question/ward-stake-branch) had an
activity night at the pool. Megan & Justin (my sister & brother-in-law) told us they were going, so we
decided we would go too.. even though it was the first day of school & we had homework. It turned
out really fun!
The Husbands jumping off the diving board(:
The cutest niece ever... & me. (:
Thursday Vegas Trip?
St. George is about 2 hours (Probably a little less than that.) away from Las Vegas.. This trip isn't what you think. Dee & I went to Vegas to go to the Las Vegas Temple! You know since the St. George Temple is closed for cleaning for the next two wees. & since we want to go to the temple AT LEAST once a week, The Vegas temple was one of the closer temples to us. Earlier in the monthwe decided that we would go to the Vegas temple! It is abolutey beautiful (But which one isn't? haha) It was areally neat expierence, so far Dee & I (Together) Have been to/in The St. George Temple (Obviously..we were married there!) San Diego Temple (On our honeymoon) & The Vegas Temple (Thursday August 23) Next stop.. Manti Temple(:
Dee & I on our way to Vegas! (:
The beautiful view on our way to Vegas(:
And...
My favorite view(: Whenever I go through this I can't help but think.. How can anyone think there isn't a God??
“All things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth... and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator” (Alma 30:44 from the Book of Mormon) (Not sure what the book of mormon is? Or want to learn more? Click here: http://mormon.org/faq#faq/topic/book-of-mormon)
& Look! The temple was finally in view!
After going in the temple, we wanted to take a picture next to the temple. (The thing says: "Holiness to the Lord the House of the Lord" it says that on every temple.)
I need to get better at writing once a week..
Anyway I want to talk about just one more thing.
It's Been a Year Since...
I decided to move out of my dad's house. I knew I needed to do something else with my life than just work 14 hour days.. I wanted to go to college & just start my life already. I was sick of it being on hold. I had no idea where I would go but I knew for sure I needed to get out of California.. First though I stayed with my Aunt Kristie & Uncle Eric & my cousins! Words cannot express how thankful I am that they were there for me & welcomed me into their home for 10 days. It was fun to spend time with all of them! (: here are a few pictures:
My cousin Rhonnie & I eating milkshakes..
Rhonnie & I being silly with our intertubes!
& September 3, 2011 was "Gold Rush Day" in Sacramento.. so we all went down there & walked around Sac & went into the train Museum & the shops along the streets. We went into a halloween store & all of us girls tried on Go-Go boots. haha it was a lot of fun!
I Just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you! Aunt Kristie, Uncle Eric, Rhonnie, Hunter, Danielle, Jesikah, Heath, & Trace! I had a lot of fun that week! Going to cheer practice with you guys, making up funny stories, laughing non stop, & nuemerous other things! (:
That's all for now!
