Ready to Ride

That is right, spring is TRYING to begin and I just wish that it would try harder. I am so ready for it. Last weekend I was in Phoenix and it was WONDERFUL! Nice and warm and spring feeling. I guess I will get to experience spring twice this year, once it hits Utah.
But you best believe it we are ready to get out there and enjoy the nice weather.
The motorcycle has had its makeover and we are ready for a nice ride.
Here are the before and after pictures of the bike. Yeah not a huge difference to most but we sure like it.

Yes Phoenix was GREAT! I got to see a lot of friends that I haven't seen in YEARS. I went down for a reunion with friends from the other ward that I hung out with the most. And I didn't take one picture that night. That makes me sad. But I know others did and I have seen them and they are great! Thanks Gary--Party Planner.
I did get to see some friends that I used to work with and we have our ritual every time I come into town. Yes Macayo's is my all time favorite Mexican resterant . I just wish Utah had them.
Well I hope that you all are doing well and are as excited about spring like I am.
Take care!

over due update....

Life has been full of fun since I have updated, ummm lets see, 7 months ago. NO NO NO there is not an expected baby. You know me, I would have posted that for sure.

First of all we were able to spend a week in Yellowstone with Aaron's family back in June. You know Aaron would live there if he could. Yes we have talked about being park rangers when we get older....not about going on a mission. He just loves the outdoors.

We also went got to spend time with my sister and her family up in Beaver at their condo. Once again Aaron was totally in his element....nothing better than being in the mountains fishing and getting dirty. It's fun to see my niece and nephews love being outside and fishing.


From there we were able to continue over the mountain to his parents house and continue or fishing adventure. Now we have to go hiking first to get where we are going to fish when we go with Aaron's father. Its always an adventure with him.



We have done a few benefit rides for things like Make a Wish Foundation as well as Ride for Life--cancer rides. It is always fun to get out and ride on a nice day. Not all of our rides have been on nice beautiful days. This one was a wonderful day. It was the Ride for Life. It was totally cool. They blocked off State St. in Salt Lake City and the fire truck raised the flag that we all road under on our way out. Then the roads were all blocked off for the first 5 miles or so. Makes you feel important.


We made a trip down to Phoenix in August for Scott's farewell. It was fun to be able to spend time with him and the rest of the family before he left. He is now serving in Veracruz Mexico and is doing very well.


On our way home Aaron and I took our time and saw some places in Southern Utah that he nor I have seen. We went to Goblin Valley and that is a really cool area. A place to go back to NOT in August. It was way hot. They were filming a movie there when we stopped and we ate lunch just down from where they were shooting. It was quite interesting.

Then we--okay I decided that we were going to go up the canyon one night after work and take photos in the fall leaves. I just love the seasons up here and love being so close to the mountains.

Oh but the most updates are not done yet....but I am done for the night, but is my update for a long time of not updating. I hope that I will not let it go this long again.
