Fun in the Fall

Our lovely Jack O Lanterns

Saturday Night Midnight Hike

The first snow ride of the season.

I am just so happy I cant take it!!

Ryan and Laura after our first run.

Check out the freshies... snowmachine

Sleeping under the stars is great but the thought of getting up in the morning

is not always so pleasant.

Jordan is contemplating waking up. Plus I just told him we

need to now plan our Sunday School Lesson.

Good morning we slept under the stars and woke up to a

sheet of ice on us but we sure slept well.

Off for another ski run.

Jordan is cooking us Sunday morning breakfast.

Strawberry cream cheese stuffed French Toast w/ Sausage.

I Just Gotta say, "We sure love having adventures"

Staying YOung

For any of you that we didn't give the update to. We decided to stay young and irresponsible. WHy get a house, when you can save money and ski or snowmobile everytime you have a day off???

Really it was too hard to get the home insured and it would be tons of work and my job offered me a raise to stay. So all in all we weighed the options and Jordan is going to commute and we will stay in our little 1 bedroom apartment for now.

Offer Accepted

YIPPIE!!! We made an offer on a great little old house. There were offers put in so we were a bit nervous...

It is the cutest little old home. unfortunately the owner just had to go into a rest home (but I figure I will go visit her a we'll become best friends). The home is located in provo a few blocks south of Center Street.

It definately needs a big fix-r-up-er. But we are so excited to get dirty and get to work.

It was built in 1916 it is over 1200 Sq ft. it has 3 bedrooms 1 bathroom. The things I love are the porch the huge grassy yard, the apple and pear trees and it has tons of grape vines. We are really looking forward to all the fun of fixing up the inside to fit our style...

My dreams of when I was younger are coming true... I always wanted an old house with a porch... grape vines like the Melentines used to have... and a black toyota truck.... it is all happening.

I also have the coolest husband ever and he can do almost all the fix-it work himself... I sure am excited about life... I haven't been able to sleep the last couple nights because I have been thinkin about this house.

Staying in UTah

I never thought I would be so excited.
Jordan has been accepted as a transfer student to BYU Provo, which means we get to stay in Utah. This means we have to decide where to get our season passes. but we are thrilled!!!!! I am still looking for other job options so if any of you know of anything good keep me posted.

2nd Item of business_
I saw a good movie--- Gifted Hands, it was good wholesome and uplifting. Heather and Rich, I think you would enjoy it. Plus it is a Redbox movie, so even if you don't like it it is only $1

POISON

Yes last night was the concert that I had been looking forward to for quite some time. Def Leppard and Poison. They were the masters of the songs we blasted in highschool. Driving to school in "THE BLAZ or GOLDBERG with all the girls, or Friday night out in Whit's white truck. Now it is time to see them live in concert. I was thrilled.


Poison was awesome, the bass guitarist was sick so the guitarist from Bon Jovi stepped in and did a great job. I was waiting for my favorite song, but the band finished and left the stage never playing "You're Poison" I was astonished, angry, sad. I had been singing that song all day waiting for it.

Apparently that was never even a poison song rather it was Alice Cooper.

In my devasted state I vowed I would go to that concert where ever they play. Then my dreams were really dashed when I found out Alice Cooper is DEAD. UGH

Def Leppard was incredible they put on such a great act and they did play my favorite Def Leppard song "Pour some Sugar on Me" that turned away all the sad I was feeling about my favorite "poison song". So the night ended good and I loved the concert.





Oh and California was great I will have to update you on that soon and post pictures.

Fun with Jennie and Jordan

Jordan and I purchased a nice new big flat screen TV, we bought it 3 months ago and have only turned it on once. Rather than looking at it as wow what a waste, we think yeah! We have so many fun other things going on we don't need to use it.

So let me take a few moments to brag about the fun we have been having. Here are some of the great pictures from the summer.

I can't remember more than a week back unless it was big.

In July we went to snowflake AZ to visit Jordan's extended family.

Within the last week we have had two fun BBQ's one at Jen's families house and one at Jordan's.

Ryan Christensen and his band Blue Root played downtown at the Wood Shed, we had a good time going and listening. We went for a fun evening hike to Mary's lake with Jordan's family. We went to Seven Peaks with Ashley and Brett then roasted Brats over a fire. (My Favorite thing to do. Then this Saturday we went Climbing in the morning, Jordan went downhill biking in the evening and Jennie went to a concert at Deer Valley with the fam. All in all we are having a great time.

In a couple weeks we are going with the coolest people to CALI to hang out at laguna beach. We are loving life. I wish I had a funny story to post but at least I am posting.

Perhaps God is Trying to Tell You Something

JORDAN GOT ZAPPED BY LIGHTNING

Yeah I said the same thing-

He decided to ride his bike to work; on this way home thunder and lightening is striking all around. He begins to count the time between the lightening and the thunder and he can tell it is way close. He is hoping he will be ok because the only thing he has touching the ground is the rubber of his tires. Apparently that wasn't enough. Jordan is almost blinded by the brightest flash, the thunder is defeningly loud it hit about 70 feet away from him but immediately he almost falls off his bike his entire right arm is numb and tingling.

Jordan saw the lightening char mark on the ground. It traveled through the ground up his bike and one of his fingers was not on the rubber handles but was touching the stem. ZAPP. For the remainder of the evening he felt as though he were clutching an electric fence.

So what do you think?... Was that God telling calling him to repentance?... Jordan being a hero able to defy all odds and walk away?... OR God just way of giving him a Facebook Poke?
