Kind Words From a Dear Friend!

I had a wonderful surprise waiting for me in my mailbox when I got home today. I very sweet and wonderful card from a very dear friend! My very sweet and thoughtful Kelsy Jordan has been in California for the summer. We haven't seen each other for about a year! We met at Snow College in LD Singers. We became great friends and still are to this day! She is a friend that I cherish and love! A card is such a simple gesture, but it means so much to hear from such a dear friend! Love you Kelsy!!!

B7 Roommate Date!

Snow College '08-'09 I had the best roomies ever! We lived in Snow Gardens Apt B7! I love every one of those girls! Melissa, Heather, Kallie, Kelsey S., and Kelsey N. These girls are pretty much sisters to me! Love them to death!

We all had been talking about going on a roommate date reunion for a while now and we finally got it done! On saturday we all met up at my house in Springville played some games till everyone got there and then headed up the canyon and found a nice place to have a fire. It was so much fun having everyone together again, (minus Kelsey N. she wasn't able to make it.) It was really good just to catch up with everyone. I havn't seen most of them since my wedding, and even a couple since before!

It was so much fun! I'm glad we all can get back together and talk like we have never been apart. Love love love these girls!! Can't wait to see them all again! Hopefully next time we will have dearest Kelsey there as well.

Here's to all the great times we had!!!! Love you all!

Fun Filled Weekend!

Kyle is so crazy and spontaneous! He decided on Friday that we were going to take a fishing trip with Krissy up to Maple Lake. We got up there pretty quick after work and set up camp. This is Krissy's first real fishing experience! Oh what fun we had! I think we caught about 16 fish between all of us! It was a blast! We had a fire and roasted some hot dogs and attempted to roast one of our fish on the roasting stick, but it failed and fell in the fire. Good thing I brought hot dogs! The next morning we got up early for some good fishing! We kept 6 really good sized fish. We cooked them on Sunday at the Olsen's for lunch! Yummy! Then we hopped on over to my parents house and ate a very good lasagna dinner! Oh so much food!!!

My friend Brent got home from his mission last week! He had a fun BBQ Saturday night that we went to. It was really fun to see him! He's the same great Brent he always was. We also saw Tyler Nelson at the party which was pretty sweet, he also got home last week! Oh man its so fun to see all my friends coming home!! Welcome home guys!!!

Trevor comes home August 19th! That will be so cool! Can't wait!

Kyle and I went running for the first time in forever last night! It wasn't to bad, but man my stomach did not want to do those sprint exercises. haha.

Have a great day, live life to the fullest, and love like there is no tomorrow!

I love my husband!

Kyle is the best! I love him so much, he always knows what I need! :)
There was so much to do yesterday and I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. Dishes, laundry, shopping, etc... Now let me tell you what, Kyle is a little sneak. When I went shopping he told me he was going to stay home so he could finish his book. And after shopping I come home to a clean kitchen! What a great sweetheart I have! Instead of finishing his book he did the dishes and cleaned the counters and wiped up the stove! Best surprise! He is awesome, and I love him!

Just wanted to brag on my super amazing hubby! ;)

Lagoon!

Kyle and I were able to go to Lagoon on Saturday for Kyle's work party!! It was a ton of fun!! Plus we got in for $10 each with a free dinner included!! Yay!!


The favorite ride of the day was Wicked! I forgot how fun this ride is!!! Love it! At the beginning of the day Kyle and I were wondering if we would run into anyone we know. He said we'll probably see some of his work buddies, but wouldn't it be way funny if we ran into Taylor? I said, oh that wont happen, I don't think she's coming to Lagoon today. And who do you think we ran into about 4 hours later....? Taylor and her brother Aaron! Also there for a work party!!!! What are the odds! That was the most exciting part of my day! We had a grand time hanging out with them for the rest of the day!

I won't waste time with boring details. Just know we had a blast, and ran into the awesome Taylor and Aaron!!!

Lovin Summer, or is it Summer Lovin? ;)

It has been a while since my last post, so this is going to be my catchup time :) Sorry if it is scrambled or doesn't make sense. This is mostly for me, kind of like a journal :)

May 29-31
This week we went down to St. George for my Grandma Applegate's homecoming. She has been on a mission in Salt Lake for the past 18 months. It was so good to see all the family. We don't get together that often! My cousin Devin was there, I haven't seen him since his mission so that was way fun!
While we were down there we got some fishing in at Quail Creek Reservoir. It was a lot of fun, and the fish were way fun to catch! We also got to explore Dixie Rock. Kyle went through this tiny crack, I was to scared I wouldn't fit, so I just took pics :)
We left early Monday morning to make it for the Memorial Day BBQ with the Bradfords!! :) So much fun! I'm glad we were able to get so much done that weekend!!

June 4-6
We went on a spur of the moment camping trip up to Payson Lakes! This was so much fun! We wanted to try out all of our new camping stuff! We pulled into the campground around 8:30 with just enough light left to set up our tent! We had a dinner of roasted hot dogs, my favorite camping food!! On Saturday we woke up early, attempted to make a breakfast that didn't go quite as planned and went fishing for the rest of the day!! I have never fished that long in my life!! It was a lot of fun though, as long as I have Kyle by me! The fish we kept and cooked were amazing! We roasted them right over the fire with lemon pepper! Amazing! Best way to cook fish ever!! :)
We had so much fun! It was nice to get away with just Kyle, I love that guy so much!

June 10-13
This week was so busy!!! Between softball games, cooking for neighbors, mini golf with friends, and "dog watching" we were never home! Which isn't the best after a camping trip. Hard to keep up with the house.
Thursday and Friday nights we hung out with our friends John and Ashley. We went mini golfing on Thursday and on Friday we invited them over for homemade pizza and games at Kyle's parents house while we watched their dog for the weekend. Kyle's parents actually came home Friday night. Their trip was not a very pleasant one with all the rain and the cold, so they came home early.
We spent all day Saturday with the Olsen's. I got all my laundry done for free. It was so rainy. It was nice to have a day to just chill and get some stuff done.
Sunday was Krissy's birthday!!! We went over for dinner and some apple crisp! She's 15! wow, one more year and that girl is gonna be a heart breaker ;)

June 18-20
Fathers day weekend! We went camping again!!! With the Bradford side of the family! So much fun!!! We went fishing, shooting, hiking, and more fishing! I love camping so much! It is one of my favorite things to do!
I have only been shooting once in my life, and I wasn't very good. So Kyle borrowed a 22 and we went shooting! Thanks to the wonderful advice of my hubby, mom, and dad, I was able to actually hit our targets! I didn't do to bad at all, we all had a really good time. My mom is probably the best aim out of all of us. Pretty sweet!

June 21
I decided to do something i have never done before! I went and got my hair highlighted. It was pretty sweet! I was a hair model for Aveda Hair School. I got an all over color with blond foils through the top all for $20, and it turned out great!! What do you think? I am sure enjoying the change.

Again sorry for such a long post, I'll try to be better at posting as things happen so I don't have to play catchup so much!
