THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Jeff and I have been saying that we need to go up to Mt. Charleston and go for a hike and we finally did it this weekend. Mt. Charleston is about 50 miles out of Vegas. On Saturday we packed a lunch and headed up to the mountains. It was so much cooler up there and it was beautiful, it felt like home! Here are some pics of our hike.


Jeff standing in front of Mary Jane Falls. It wasn't much of a water fall but there was some water trickeling down. It was really pretty.

Just posing on a big tree. There were a lot of really big trees up there. They were quite impressive.

Jeff being silly.

What a view!

I just thought this was cute. There a little town just off the road and as you pull in there are all the mail boxes. Jeff and I decided that is were we want to live. It's much cooler and peaceful up there!
I was glad that we were able to go on this little hike. It always reminds me how out of shape I am. I better hit the gym extra this week!

Our visit to Utah

So Jeff finished his first semester at UNLV and he did a great job! He's such a good student. We decided to take a little trip to Utah to make a quick visit to family and friends and we had a great time. These are a few pics of what we did. It was Jeff's birthday on the 16th and we had a BBQ with family and friends to celebrate the big 25th bday. The vaca went by way too fast but we're so grateful for the time we were able to spend with our family and friends. Thanks for a great weekend everyone we love and miss you all!!!

I just wanted to wish Jeff a happy anniversary! We have been married for 3 whole years, oh how time flies! These last three years have been the happiest of my life and I just wanted everyone to know how much I love my sweet husband!

Moving to Las Vegas has been a hard transition but it has been so good for us. I have loved being able to spend more time with Jeff and being able to grow together. I'm so grateful for him and the wonderful friend he is to me. I love how Jeff makes me laugh, he's always doing something to make me smile. I love his beautiful blue eyes and gorgeous smile! I love what a handy man he is and that he can fix anything. I love that he likes to cook and he gets creative with his food. I love that he tries to do laundry :) I love that he is such a hard worker and is so dedicated to school, he wants what is best for our family. I love the relationship he has with his family and how close they are. I love that he is so patient and puts up with me. I love that he served a mission and loves to serve others. I could go on and on but I just want him to know how much I love him and how grateful I am that he is mine! We still laugh when we look back at high school, who would have thought we would've ended up together. I always think of that Garth Brooks song "Unanswered Prayers" Heavenly Father definetly knows what is best for us. He's my very best friend and I am so glad that I get to spend eternity with him. I love you Jeffy!!!!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

I just wanted to wish my grandma a happy birthday! She is the sweetest, most caring lady and I am so grateful for her! She is such a great example to me and I love her so much! She is so thoughtful and is always taking care of everybody. She sends Jeff and I a card on the 4th of every month to wish us happy so many month anniversary. She drives to my mom's house once a week to help her with the daycare kids she watches and she always brings dinner with her. I look up to her so much and I strive each and every day to be more like her. I love her so much. We hope you have a great birthday Grandma we love you!
