R Mountain? Don't you mean Hill?

Well, Scott and I finally decided to climb R Mountain--but instead of planning all week to have the trip and figuring out what to bring, we kind of planned on going about 10 minutes before we actually did. It was a fun climb, there was sand as the path (which made it kind of hard). We got up there and were able to go all the way around to see a beautiful sunset and a rain storm in the distance. The cool wind was filled with the smell and feel of rain. It was awesome.
These pictures on the left are of Scott and I facing the west side of R Hill.

The pictures on the right are of the flowers that I picked up there, didn't want to hold and put in the backpack Scott was carrying and of the crater that was once a volcano.

This is a video of Scott climbing an outcropping of rock...with my commentary. It got really windy so he had to come down, but it was cute to watch him climb it!

A semester in review.....

Here is our life for the past three months that you guys had no clue about:

January: Scott and I moved in. To our apartment we had never seen before, and quickly began searching for another apartment. Much to our chagrin, we had to stay in our basement dungeon...so we made it work.
We started school...thinking we could walk to campus from four blocks away. I got a job tutoring and Scott gave up his plasma biweekly.
We went to a comedy show with Kirby Heyborne and that guy who plays DeVerl. Here are some crazy pictures:

We also went snowboarding a few times. Scott and I now each have our own snowboards...so that makes it cheaper. We went on Saturday after it had just snowed about four inches in the valley, it was beautiful up in Kelly Canyon. So awesome...its pretty much the only thing that convinces us to do another winter here.

February: Scott and I had a wonderful Valentines day, and we celebrated being married for 6 months. We also had midterms, and went snowboarding again.
Scott and I had some fun being in the University Choir this semester too. We sang in devotional this month. Here is picture of us in our concert dress after sing a pretty rendition of Guide Me, Oh Thou Great Jehovah. The two devotionals are going to be aired on BYUTV on May 31 and June 14 at 10:00 am MST.

March: This month, we sang in devotional, sang for a thing called Hymn Fest, and had our concert (see below):
This song is called "I'm Runnin' On" by Mack Wilberg



There was much more to the concert, but who wants to sit through all that...again....
Also for all the die hard math lovers out there, there was PI DAY!! 3-14
This is part of the video of Scott at the Pi Day PIe eating contest:



April: We finally moved! We got a lucky break, and took over a contract at a place we were looking at....Finals came and went, we both did really well.

And that's all she wrote.

Just some wedding bliss

I thought I would share some of our wedding pictures:


This picture is one of my favorites. Scott and I were very loved that day!


I think that this picture is gorgeous too. Maybe because we haven't seen green in so long. I remember not being able to climb up on that bench. Scott had to pick me up and put me on it because I didn't want to get my dress dirty. Instead of helping me down though, he walked away and I had to jump into the dirt below. Oh well.
This picture took about 5 minutes for me to get it right. It hurt my hand, too. I told Scott that this was one picture we had to get, becasue if I was going to stand there like that, we better reap the benefits. And it turned out pretty!

If you know me, you know I love this picture, because I love shoes! There are a few more of these pictures in a few different places, and I love them all!


This is also another gorgeous picture. The wind picked up just enough to blow my veil. And we were thankful because it was a pretty warm day.

Anyway, just thought I would share some happy pictures with ya'll. I like looking at them because they have flowers and green and sun in them....unlike here. All this snow is getting to me. It is also hard to believe that these pictures were taken over 6 months ago! I can't believe it. Time is just flying.

To catch up:
Scott is singing in the choir during the priesthood session of conference.
I have already started the billions of meetings that come with being a director. (It's cool, a few meetings for a full scholarship.)
Midterm grades were great! Only 4 B's between us, and the rest A's. Being married boosted our GPAs......

Our First Valentines....

Aw! Scott was so sweet to me....breakfast in bed, and a rose, and a game, and a heartfelt card...he loves me.

Well enough gushy stuff. While Scott and I have been at school it appears as though we have fallen off the face of the Earth....and figuratively we did. I mean who really chooses to go to college where your not sure if you should layer both your winter coats today, or pull out the parka. It has been snowing steadily while we have been here, and we have taken advantage of the beautiful snow by going snowboarding.

The first time we went there was lots of snow, with ice under it....so falling hurt (falling hurts anyway, but when you add ice its much less fun.) Then the second time was perfect. It had just snowed the day before, and it didn't get that cold that night, so the powder was wonderful. We got there on time, (meaning still daylight) and all the lifts were open. We had a blast for about three and a half hours, with Scott trying his hand or his feet rather in the trick slope. You will have to ask him how that went. Then we topped off the day at this place called Big Jud's. I think Scott will agree in saying that we have had our fill of greasy hamburgers for the year after that huge burger.

We also have had some fun times with friends...trying to limit the amount of visitors to our dungeon apartment. It is becoming more like home. We are already looking for another place to live. Midterms are upon us and we must move out next semester.

Just thought I would catch ya'll up!

Tyler's Visit......

Well, Tiny aka Tyler came to visit his big (well, older) sister in the frozen desert. After battling horrible weather, and making it safely home, we played guitar hero, until we realized how late it was and had to go to bed to make it to Colorado the next day. While we were there we went snow shoeing. It was a lot of hard work, but it was very fun. Thanks to Josh and Amanda and Addy for letting all of us stay up there!! p.s. I hope you all enjoyed Snickers!
Then, we came home from Colorado, and spent the next day doing absolutely nothing. Well, Tiny did. I packed. But the day after that, we went sledding. that was fun too. And a one time thing for me! I also took a video of Tyler going down the freakin big hill.


Then, Scott, Tyler and I went to Salt Lake for fun at First Night. We went on to Temple Square and onto the conference center for some cool pictures. Then we went ice skating and watched a pretty cool band with this guy drawing weird pictures, counted down until midnight...and Happy New Year!!

Our first Christmas

Well, I know I am very far behind on my blogging....sorry.

Scott had to work almost all day on Christmas Eve, so in my sadness and loneliness, I made cookies. I made Spritz, Forgotten, Old Fashioned Spice, Peppermint Meringes, Cornflake, White Velvet cut-outs, and Grandmom's thumbprint. They were tasty, and have lasted a whole lot longer than I thought was capable for cookies to last.

This next picture was taken on Christmas Eve too, before we went down to Wig and Steph's house for dinner. Its kinda dark, but we wanted to make sure you could see our pretty tree with all of our good stuff!!

Then, Christmas day, Scott and I went to pick up Tyler, my brother. It was a long scary drive, but read the next blog to find out what we did.
