Wyoming Weekend

Let's see we went up early friday morning. Coleman and Missy drove up with us. It was fun. Kathy and Ryan's grandma & grandpa were already there, and their 2 dogs, kizzy & cuddles. It was fun to be with dogs again...well for me at least. Ryan wasn't so excited. Coleman ended up getting really stuffed up 'casue he is apparantly pretty allergic to dogs.
We went golfing on friday. Missy & I mostly watched 'casue you can only have 4 people golf at a time. It was fun though. We also went golfing on Saturday and I learned a lot about golfing and what clubs you use. And I got to drive the golf cart! That was fun. I also lost my phone at one point 'casue it fell off the seat, but Missy & I found it.
We went to Jackson Hole while we were there too and I found a winter jacket for $20! It was originally 149! I am excited to wear it. Ryan said it was cute, i didn't even see it 'till I got home, but he was right :)
Kathy's friends came up on Saturday which was fun. They had a 2 year old name Chandler. He was really cute. Cuddles was a little worried at first 'casue I don't think she'd seen a little kid before. But she warmed up pretty fast.
The first night we slept down stairs, it was really dark, I couldn't even see my hand. The next night we slept on our blow up mattress (thanks mom & dad!) on the main floor. We left the door open with the screen closed. At midnight we woke up because we heard a squeeking sound...I was kind of scared. I'm glad ryan was there :) It took us a while to figure out what it was, I thought it was an animal on the porch. It turned out to be the screen door becasue it was windy out. So we shut the door...but it took me a while to get back to sleep.
We got back late on Sunday and have just been working. I went to get my named changed at the Social Security office today...it only took an hour which is actually pretty good.
Today I'm feeling a little sick. Hoping to feel better tomorrow.
Ryan's still working and loving his job. He took his car in today 'casue the breaks were going out. But it's good to get it taken care of. Well, that's all for now.

Movies and stuff

Hum...let's see. So this weekend we are thinking of going golfing. It should be lots of fun! We're heading out tomorrow morning...pretty early I think. I'm hoping I can sleep in the car :)
Today got to go to the temple and we washed our car. Now we're just hanging out at his parent's house.
Last week we saw Harry Potter - it was good - really funny, but definitely different from the book. We ended up reading the book right before we saw the movie. I knew the movie would be pretty different, but I forgot to tell Ryan - so he didn't really like the movie. There was one scene that was way out there - totally didn't go with the plot...oh well.
Hey, apparently them are making a 3rd Transformers!! But it wont come out until July 2011.
We also started some food storage yesterday - we got a bunch of 3 liters of water - for only .49 cents each.

Life Since the Honeymoon

Well life is good :) We've been busy. I worked 9-5 for a few weeks because our other secretary was out of town. It was nice to get the hours...but I also really like sleeping in so I'm glad to be back to my usual schedule...plus it gives me time to get our Thanks-you's out and change my name..haha.
This past weekend we went up to Bear Lake with Ryan's family and some friends from Lake Powell. It was a lot of fun :) I discovered that maybe I do like the water...but I got a little sunburned. We found some really good water to go wake boarding on, but Ryan was kind of sad because he couldn't wake board 'cause he bruised his heel. But he did get to wake surf. Hey! I even got up while wake boarding...I wasn't quite so successful at wake surfing.
Lets see - Ryan started a new job today, as computer support for the Church. It's a call center, but he really likes computers, so we're excited :)
This weekend we're going to visit Ryan's uncle's cabin, in Star Valley with his family. That should be fun. We're excited...plus it's a 3 day weekend! Good old Pioneer Day.

Hawaiian Honeymoon part 5a


So this morning...we went surfing. It was fun :) I was nervous at first, but then I really enjoyed it. Ryan did too. There was a photographer who took pictures, which we obviously ended up buying. They were fun. Now we're headed to a luau...gotta go. More later

part 4B - add on

I forgot...we are just going to relax tonight and see if we can find the 1st Transformers to watch and have some panda express for dinner. (this part got deleted when I tried to post it)

ALSO - we saw the state fish, it's called humuhumunukunukuapuwa'a. It's easier than it looks - humu humu, nuku nuku, apuwa'a and then just put it together (it sounds just like it's spelled ) :) It's a pretty cool fish. The name means something like the fish that was stitched together with a pig nose. It does kind of look stitched together, and it actually makes pig noises believe it or not - to throw off predators. Haha

Hawaiian Honeymoon part 4

Today we woke up at 5am! and we went snorkeling. I was a little nervous at first. It took me back to my scuba class...not my favorite. But I warmed up to it pretty fast. It was fun to see the fish...well for me anyway. I was cracking up watching Ryan, he hated the fish getting close to him. And they did get pretty close let me tell you. We saw all kinds. Lots of yellow ones as well as black and white striped ones (those were my favorites). We also saw lots of black ones with blue stripes, and lots of others. Especially cool were the great white tipped reef sharks. There were 2 of them! Don't worry they didn't try to eat us :) We also saw some turtles! They were pretty big and pretty close.
Snorkeling went from 7am (check-in was at 6:15) until noon. They fed us breakfast and lunch. It was pretty good. We both got a little burned though. Hopefully it won't be to bad. I should have brought a hat though...my scalp is pretty burned. It kinda hurts.
Tomorrow...surfing...I'm nervous...Ryan is really excited. It will be an experience either way.

Ryan said if he were a Transformer, he would be an Optimus Prime duplicate - Optimus Ryan in fact. I think I would be an Aston Martin Vanquish...or the Batmobile in Batman Begins...'cause it was big...or maybe I'd be a really fast plane 'casue I always thought it would be fun to fly....probably a really small fast plane so I could go anywhere and be hard to see.
