Summer...so far

This summer Ethan and I have been so so SO excited to give up the studying and homework and have free weekends and weeknights. Completely free. We don't even have callings yet, so basically Ethan goes to work and then we can do whatever we want!!! It is fantastic, but we also know it is temporary and so we are trying to live it up as much as we can. We also live in a beautiful area with tons of canyons and hikes available and so we are trying to take advantage of the situation.
So far we have hiked to places like Doughnut Falls and the Living Room. We take our camera with us when ever we hike, but it keeps dying on us and we forget to charge it (my bad) and so we have pics of only one hike, Doughnut falls, but it is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Look closely because yes there is still snow in the woods. The water was freeze and crystal clear. It was really really fun.
So sorta a long blog for these pics, but enjoy!! this is our life now!



OH PS our air conditioning stopped working temporarily and this was our temporary solution.

Half Marathon

I finally ran a half marathon. I got 2nd in my age group, 38th overall women, and 118th out of 2,000. I ran it in 1hour and 40 min which was my goal!!. It was so much fun but I don't know how people do that two times in a row for a full!!!Crazy peopleThis is mile 11. I promise I was not this happy because for the last two miles you could see the finish line, but it never got closer. I only was excited because I finally saw Ethan cheering for me and he was trying to run with me to take a picture. It was really funny

Our New House

Just wanted to show our new house. We loved our old basement, but it is nice being upstairs!!! We feel so grown up.

Main sink area
This is the master bath. It is about 10ft by 2 ft!!! You have to shimmy around the door in order to close it without hitting the toilet. Main bedroom
Laundry room
Dining room/awesome bar
Second bedroom/storage room
Kitchen
Front room
Second bathroom. Don't be deceived... there is no shower head to the tub. It is just a tub!!
Well that's it, plus the patio. We are very pleased and especially excited to be so close to Ethan's job.

When you Don't have a dryer...

This was clearly just a temporary situation, but I was really really really proud of my craftsmanship and so I just had to share it!! PS that is our tomato plant that will not do too well because the weather is too bad, but it was exciting to try right

So Its been a while....

It has been so long since we last posted anything. Since graduation, we have moved to Holladay Utah, have started a new job at Overstock.com, have gone to Lagoon,have gone to the state capitol, have seen The Great Salt Lake, have started playing on a coed softball team, and have gone to a Salt Lake Bees game. That is about all that we have done.
I am still looking for a job and I look for about 3 hours everyday. I am looking for anything. Office, teaching, heck I would even work at Jamba Juice, but they wouldn't give me the interview. I mean how do you not get discouraged when house painting companies, and house cleaning companies wont even call you back. Oh well. I guess at the end of the summer I can always sub and for the time being, at least Ethan has a good job.
Other than looking for jobs EVERYWHERE and talking to everyone I know, I have been training for a half marathon. I was already running 8 miles on my own and so I decided that I might as well run the whole thing!! IT is actually this Saturday and I am really really excited!!!!
So this is just an update on us. Nothing too new, other than the move... and we are so happy with that!! Here are just some pictures to look at to give you an idea of what we look like since we have now been graduates for 2 months now.
