Circus TIme!

We went to the Circus a while ago and had a lot of fun. We were the only ones around us without any kids but we had fun. It had everything a circus claims it has. Clowns.

Tight rope walkers. They were actually really cool

In this one they are on bikes with a stick in between the bikes. Then the girl is sitting on a chair on the stick. Then they rode the bike on the rope. Totally awesome.

Elephants! They were adorable and really good at their routine.

Tigers! They were a little more temperamental then the Elephants but they were so big!

This part was cool. They did this big show of bringing the crossbow out and getting the guy on it.

Then they lit him on FIRE! They shot him out to a big pad thing across the stadium.

He's still on fire! He's that hard core

We liked the Circus and had lots of fun despite the really annoying theme songs they kept singing.

Books

I am starting an experiment. Since I read tax documents every day at work, I get a phenomenal amount of reading in. Unfortunately, it is not as satisfying as a book.

And then I get home and I want to relax, watching a portion of television.

So this morning, I placed four books balanced on top of the remote and gave myself the charge to read 4 pages from each before any television time is allowed. My wife has been putting me to shame with the good books she has been exploring, and I am starving for good authorship.

The current books are:

The Elements of Style, Strunk & White

The Wind in the Willows, Grahame

Walden and Civil Disobedience, Thoreau

The Book of Mormon, Mormon

If it goes well, I will probably put four books on top of my computer mouse in the coming month!

September Recap

September has been a busy month for us with something going every day. We started the month with this cutie's Birthday. Justin's sister turned 15 and we had a fun Birthday party. She made a cute shirt that said " It's my birthday!" Love it.

The lovely ladies.

Hehe this one makes me laugh. =)

The next party was for Justin's Mom's Birthday. It was fun with lots of good food.

We are so glad to have them as part of our family.

We enjoyed our Anniversary weekend, then the Circus, ( more on that later.) and have just been getting ready for the up coming weddings. I am now an expert chopper of onions, peppers, and tomatoes with all the salsa we are making for the wedding.

Work has been going good, my difficult patient has actually been really good. Justin is trying to get his workers to actually work and thinking of getting an Ipad 2 for a prize for his workers.

It's been a good fun filled month, but I am looking forward to a slower October. How was your September?

Guess where we are going tomorrow?!

The Circus!




The Circus is coming to the Energy Solutions Arena and I really wanted to go. I've never been able to go and kind of always wanted to. So there ya go! My sister and I joke that we aren't our actual age we split it up to make up for our little kid wants and actions. So I'd have to say that this is the 4 year old in me since I am 2 and 4 instead of 24. =)

I am really excited and I think that it will be a cool show. I am hoping anyways. If not I'll probably just be thinking of Dumbo, or shows where there are weird circus or carnival people and that will be fun. =)

Happy Weekend all!

Anniversary Weekend

This past weekend we celebrated our 1 year anniversary. We had a great weekend just being together and having fun. We started the weekend with a trip down to the Oquirrah Mountain Temple. Justin got out of work early and we headed out for the afternoon. It was really cool to be there because if you looked out to the valley to the left you'd see the Jordan River Temple and then further to the mountains and to the right you could see the Draper Temple.

It was a cute little temple and there were less then 20 people in the session. I like the smaller temples better, they are quieter and I can just feel more reverent. We love going to the temple!
Then we went to dinner at Tucanos! It was delicious like always and we were so full that we didn't want to eat anything else the rest of the weekend. =)


On Saturday, we had a fun day at Boondocks, courtesy of my work.They luckily were having an employee party in which we got an all day unlimited pass to all the fun at Boondocks like: Go karts, mini-golf, bowling, arcade games and so much more.

Me attempting to bowl.

Justin won! He won all the games of bowling we played.

Justin played an arcade game and got the jackpot on his first try! He got over 400 tickets from it. It blow up this balloon and then popped it. Out came the tickets. It was pretty cool.

Throughout the day in honor of the BYU-Utah game we were having a little competition to see who would win the game. Justin dominated at bowling and then we played Mini-golf.

I got a hole in one!

They had a really fun course where every other hole there were funny things to do. Some were to use your hands on the first shot, trade places with another ball, or add or subtract scores. It was a fun twist.

Winner!

After some more arcade games and Justin trying a few times to get an ipad 2 we decided to cash in our tickets all 550 of them. These are our spoils, a BYU and Utah ring =), a fancy pen and the whoopie cushins. Just like the Byu-Utah game Justin dominated and ended up winning. =)

We finished out the weekend by watching Superhero movies to get ready for the Avenger movie coming out. We both love to watch Superhero movies so it was lots of fun. It was a great weekend and we had a lot of fun just being together and celebrating marriage.

We want to give a shout-out and apologize for missing out on all the other fun activities on that day. We wish we could have been there.

One Year Down!

One year ago today my whole life changed for the better.

We've both grown a lot over the year. We've learned to forgive and forget, to love and to laugh. We've increased our patience and given more service to each other. We've learned and continually try to best fill each other's love tank.

I know that we both have become better people and for that I am grateful.

It's been a great year and I look forward to what the future holds for us.

One year down, eternity to go! Or as my little Primary class kid said, "It's like being with your family for infinity." Yeah something like that. =)
