It's My Birthday! (Aug 20th)

For my birthday David took me to a play of the "Sound of Music." It was playing in Sundance. We were both so excited. After getting off from work, we headed up there where we enjoyed the rest of the night.

This cake was given to me by my manager Terry. Our branch at the bank, celebrated my birthday. 

David bought me these beautiful flowers that came with a really sweet birthday card. 

I took this picture when driving up to Sundance to watch the play. It was a really pretty  drive! 

Waiting for the play to start 

4th of July in Reno, NV!

 It's been a while since I've updated my blog and I feel so bad because these pictures are from the 4th of July. I have decided though, to update my blog from where I left off. These pictures were taken in Sand Harbor California when David and I went to Reno to visit our families. We also visited Reno to say goodbye to Sammy who was leaving on his mission. We had so much fun!

Mia-Shalom Girls Camp July 2011

This Year I had the opportunity to go to Girls Camp with the Young Women as a leader. We made it to Camp in an hour and 40 minutes. Even though I was only there for 1 day, it was a great experience for me. I had a lot of fun and I enjoyed spending time with the girls. The weather wasn't that great the first couple of days. It rained Tuesday and Wednesday. I arrived Wednesday evening. We had lots of rain and hail and a night with lots of thunder!! The next morning the sun came out and it was beautiful. I went on a hike with some leaders and we saw some beautiful views!

Let's Hike Up to the Y!!!

This is our second time hiking up to the Y trail in Provo. The first time we went, I almost passed out and died. I remember whining the whole time asking David, "Are we there yet?" I was so tired, David was a trooper. His pace was so much faster than mine, and he kept pushing me to keep going. THIS SECOND TIME, I did much much better! I never whined and I think I was even going faster than David!! :) We both did great! The view was amazing and everything was so green and pretty. David and I weren't as tired after we got to the Y letter, so we decided to keep on going and we went even higher!! It was great. (The Provo Temple is on one of the pictures...so small!!)

Provo Flood

Provo's weather lately has been really unpredictable. We have had sunny nice days, but also rainy ones! Our summer has been a wet one. We had a late summer start and because of that, the top of the mountains had snow still in the middle of June. With all the rain, it's causing the snow to melt...very fast. Here are some pictures of Rock Canyon Park, located 5 minutes of where we live. The park as you can see is flooded. It looks like a river!

Update

David and I had a fun 2010! This was the year that we got married, we moved to Utah, and we spent some of our first Holidays together as a married couple. :) The Holidays were also exciting and fun because we had the chance to visit our families in Reno. Whoo hoo! We are also excited for this new year of 2011 and are looking forward to what this new year will bring our way. We are also looking forward to spring or summer and we hope that it will get here fast! Provo is super cold! (16 degrees today).
A little update about our lives...David is busy with his full load of classes, we are excited for his last semester at BYU!! Graduation will be on April 21&22. He is also a busy man working hard at Ross and preventing theft. He is also busy working and a little nervous about applying to BYU Law School for the Fall. David still loves working with his 11-year-old scouts and has scouts activities with them once a week. David is playing intramural basketball at BYU and he loves it, he is also in the our ward's basketball team, he's pretty good! Mara loves working with her Mia Maids, attending mutual is fun and teaching lessons on Sundays. (I can't wait to go to Girls Camp ). I recently applied to BYU and I hope I get accepted. :) I am busy looking for a job and it's becoming very frustrating. >:( I am still babysitting for the Quinn family and it's going great.
So far the Lord keeps blessing us. David and I can't wait to see our families. We love y'all.
