4-Wheeling

This past weekend, our good friends Adam and Camarie invited us on a 4-wheeling trip. We went up American Fork Canyon, and it was beautiful. As Chad and I got on the wheeler and headed up, he reminded me of all the good times we have had 4-wheeling. It is almost like a tradition for us. Chad took me 4-wheeling on our first date. (We had our 1 year anniversary of our first date in April. Wow!) The first weekend Chad spent at my house, my dad took us 4-wheeling. Then there was the time we almost died on the 4-wheeler, twice. We took a fun trip with some friends to Star Valley and did some 4-wheeling up there. And then when we got engaged.... yes, it was on a 4-wheeler ride. I think one of the reasons we love it so much is because we just go our own speed, look around, chit chat, enjoy each other's company, and the company of our friends. I also have to thank parents and friends who sponsor all of these 4-wheeling escapades...namely Adam!




Funny story... during this last trip, Chad and I were, as we usually are, taking our sweet time, going kind of slow. I was driving the 4-wheeler at the time. I could hear someone coming up behind us on another 4-wheeler. I started to slow down and pull off to the side so he could pass us. He freakin FLEW past us, and right through a puddle. You know in cartoons or movies when a jerk car splashes water all over some pedestrian...that is just what happen to us. I just sat there with my jaw dropped, soaked, water dripping down my face, as he just kept going! If I ever see him again I will give him a piece of my mind!


This is a picture of us after the splash!

Wholy Crap I am 24!

Thanks to everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday last week. It was such a fun birthday weekend! Chad brought a dozen roses to me at school on Friday. Then when I got home, he had taped a single rose and a card to the front door. The card explained that he had placed 12 roses around the house with a "I love you because..." note on each one. Each rose also had a gift with it. I almost melted when I read each one. Isn't he the cutest! Thanks Chad for taking the time to make my birthday special! On Saturday Chad took me to lunch and shopping at the Buckle; he had given me gift cards with some of the roses. Later that night Nikki and Blake joined us for some nickel-cade fun! I love that place cause it is like the cheapest date ever! Then on Sunday, my parents invited us to Gunnison for dinner with my grandparents, Cami, and Connor. Thanks to everyone who made not only May 2nd special, but the entire weekend. I got so many cards and facebook messages and text messages (including Nona's text @5:30 am!) and phone calls. I am so blessed to have so many friends and family who care. Thanks! I would also like to wish Sam a Happy Birthday on May 1st. She is an awsome sister-in-law and I am so glad to have her in our family. Also a Happy Anniversary shout out to Kelsey and Brian Bulow and also Jody and Tyler King. May 2nd rules!

Here are all the gorgeous birthday roses from Chad and the yellow one was from Cami. I know roses are kind of senseless cause they die in a few days...but I still love them!
