Hiking The Y

Yesterday, Norris and I had some time to spend together so we hiked the Y in Provo. It was my first time and I was really excited. We got to the base of the hike and parked the car. I said to Norris, "this is not very far." The "Y" seemed really close and like it would be a piece of cake. Well while we were hiking Norris made the comment, "It seems closer then it is, HUH?" lol It was harder then i thought. Straight up hill man, but the view was so pretty when we got to the top, everything is GREEN. I was glad i was able to experience the Y hike. I don't know how many times i would want to climb it b/c its straight up and then down, pretty hard on the knees, but i did see people running up it. That was impressive. All in All it was fun to do it:)

Cali Vacation

At the end of April Norris and i ended our finals and headed home to visit warm sunny California. We went to Disneyland, had a BBQ, laid out in the sun, exercised, hung out with family, went to the beach a couple of times, had our one year anniversary, and had tons of fun! Here are some pictures of our fun week.

Christmas Eve





Christmas with family

So this Christmas was so much fun. We went back to California to visit family. Our flight home was a little scary b/c we left in the middle of a bad snow storm. Our flight was delayed twice but we made it to california safely. From the moment we got there it was so much fun. We did lots of fun things. We went to the temple on Saturday the 20th to do some family work on my mother's side and it was a great experience. Norris' family came and did a session with my family. After we had a great feast back at his mothers house, STONEFIRE Grill. The next day was my older brother's Birthday, which we celebrated with dinner, cake, presents, and stories. It was a blast. Throughout the week we shopped, visited family, made ginger bread houses (funny story, Norris and i had a little competition to see who could make the best ginger bread house and by the time we got home from granny's house we could tell who won. My house did not make the ride home. But i think we both made great houses.)
Christmas Eve was wonderful with family and the program Sophia put on. All the kids looked so cute. Norris, Marshall, and Rich sang a song and did a great job. Christmas day was just as good! we were able to see all our families which was great. We left the next day to come back home b/c we needed to move and work. Our vacation was too short but so much fun. We love our families!
