Fourwheeling Excursion in Mink Creek

Yesterday Randy and me, Jared and Erin, and Mike and Lexie went fourwheeling to Mink Creek, located south of Pocatello. We started our adventure at about 4:00 and let's just say it was a very adventurous, scary, and fun ride. We started out our ride on normal trails. We were having a great time. We stopped for lunch or more like snack time and then decided to head out again. We came to a crossroads and we decided to take the path called Monemental Gulche Trail. We were all wondering what gulche meant or what it was. We went down the trail and it got really treacherous. It was a really scary trail because it was really skinny one. There was trees that were super close together, it was mostly down hill, it was rocky/bumpy, and branches were hitting us left and right. Well the worst part is that we kept going on this trail and we didn't know where it ended up and it was getting pretty late. We just kept getting farther and farther from the parking lot where our truck was parked. We didn't want to go back up the gulche trail because that would of been really bad. So we kept driving to the top of this hill where we could see a spectacular view of Pocatello. We eventually found a path that would lead us down towards the city of Pocatello and to the highway that would lead us back to the truck. The bad thing is that it is illegal to drive on main roads on a fourwheeler but we had drive like 13 miles to get back to the truck. We were worried that we would get picked up by the cops. We made it to the highway and just kept driving really fast. We eventually made it to the track and were loaded up when a sheriffs car drove past. We all looked at each other and laughed because we just made it without being caught. It was a fun ride but scary at times!

Date Night-Idaho Falls Chuckars Baseball Game

Last night Randy and I went on a date. He has never been to a baseball game, not even high school, so I thought it would be a good idea to go to one. We went to the the Idaho Falls Chukars vs. Orem Owlz. I thought wow that is cool because I am from Orem but now I live in Idaho. It was a ton of fun. We had dinner and then drove to Idaho Falls for the game. The gates opened at 6:00 and of course we got there before than. The game started at 7:15 so we had an hour and fifteen minutes to kill. It was really hot so we just sat and baked in the sun. They had entertainment going on in the field so we got to watch that. I got a free shirt which was awesome because I mean who doesn't like free things! The game started and we watched. It was getting late and the game was still going so we left early. When we left the Chukars were ahead by 5 so I think they won. Randy really enjoyed himself and was like we need to come back to another one. Below are some pictures we took. It was a great date and I am so grateful to have Randy as my husband!

10 Months!

Randy and I have been married for 10 months today! I can't believe how fast time has flown by. We are so happy together! We have been busy with school and work. On our spare time we hang out and just spend time together. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for Randy and I but all I know is that I am glad he is by my side! Love you babe and happy 10 months!

Spur of the Moment Trip--Montana

On Saturday I was at work and I got a call from a good friend of mine from Montana. She lives in Missoula but she was visiting with her boyfriend in Dillon, Montana for a high school graduation. She wanted to know if Randy and I wanted to come and visit for a few hours. Dillon is only 170 miles from Blackfoot so we thought sure we can go and have dinner, hang out and then come home that night. Well we decided to make it an over night, spur of the moment trip. So we packed our bags and drove the 170 miles and had a great little vacation.
We got our hotel room first then met up with Britten and Joe for dinner. Dillon, Montana is a small town so we went a place called Spanky's Garage. It was really good. After dinner we went and got a treat from Dairy Queen. We drove around for a while and laughed our heads off. We then just hung out and then went to breakfast the next morning. It was great to just have a spur of the moment adventure and to see a very good friend of mine! It was a ton of fun. Randy and I had a great time!

we love!

Last Tuesday I didn't have to go to either school or work which is a very rare occassion. Randy suggested that we go fourwheeling because I won't get to go a lot this summer because of school and work. So we loaded up a fourwheeler on the back of our escape and went for a short and fun ride. Randy and I share something in common that I love. We both love to be outdoors and have a love and appreciation for nature. We love to look at mountains, sunsets etc. We got to see some beautiful sights such as the river and a deer.

9 months!

I just wanted to write a short blog about how Randy and I have now been married for 9 months! I can't believe how fast time has flown by. In just three more months it will be a YEAR! I had to work today but after I got off Randy took me to dinner. It was fun to just spend some time together. After dinner we went and fed the ducks and geese. It was fun and we got back in the car to come home and our car wouldn't start. Let's just say that ruined my day and attitude. Apparently the battery was dead as a door nail. so we replaced it and now our car runs as good as new. The day got better because later we went to the driving range and got ice cream! It was a fun day minus the car episode. I love you babe and look forward to many more years!

Randy's 22nd Birthday!

Randy turned 22 last Friday. He had a great birthday. I had to go to school all day on his birthday so on Thursday I took him shopping to get his presents and then we went out to dinner. On his actual birthday Randy's mom cooked dinner and then we had a party with cake and ice cream with his parents and family. We then headed over to my grandparents to celebrate with my side of the family. My family came up for the weekend from Utah so they were able to be here for his birthday. We had cake and ice cream there as well. Randy is a huge fan of the movie CARS. So for his birthday I got him cars balloons and decorations for his two cakes. He had a good birthday and now he is one year older and wiser too! I love you babe!

Tractor Fun

Randy had some fun with this huge tractor. He has been helping one of his good friends family dig a pit for a sand volleyball. He borrowed this big tractor from a guy in our ward to get the process done once and for all. He was really excited to get to drive it. Randy is a real country boy and loves tractors and big machinery. He had the time of his life.

LoVe LiKe CrAzY!

Randy and I have been married a little over 8 months now and is has been amazing. I couldn't ask for a better husband. There is a song that Randy loves called "LOVE LIKE CRAZY." I never really listened to it till the other day. It tells such an awesome story and what I think that every married couple should pattern their lives after it. I love that me and Randy have such a strong love and have faith that everything will work out. Here are the lyrics:

They called them crazy when they started out,

said 17 to young to know what loves about.

they've been together 58 years now,

thats crazy.

He brought home 67 bucks a week

bought a little two bedroom house on maple street

where she blessed him with six more mouths to feed

thats crazy

just ask him how he did it

he'll say pull up a seat it'll only take a minute to tell you everything.

Chorus:

Be a best friend

tell the truth

over use I love you

go to work

do your best

don't outsmart your common sense

never let your prayin knees get lazy

and love like crazy.

They called him crazy when he quit his job

sellin home computers boy they'll never take off

well he sold his one man shop to microsoft

and they paid like crazy

Just ask him how he made it

he'll tell you faith and sweat

and the heart of a faithful woman who never will let him forget

be a best friend

tell the truth

over use I love you

go to work

do your best

don't outsmart your common sense

never let your prayin knees get lazy

and love like crazy

they called him crazy when they started out

they've been together 58 years now

ain't that crazy.

I love the line that says "never let your prayin knees get lazy, and love like crazy" It is so true and Randy and I try to do our best with what we have and that is each other and faith. I love you babe!
