Brent and I celebrated 7 years of marriage this month! Seven! It sounds like a long time… and well, it kind of is. At the same time, I feel like we were just at Snow College going on a date to the bowling alley and the malt shop. We’ve had our ups and downs, rough spots, and moments of sheer bliss. Through it all, there is no one I would rather be with than Brent. He is my best friend, my husband, my soul mate. I love him so much. I am truly blessed to have him as my partner in this life and the next.
Ok, now that I’ve shared the mushy-love-stuff, here is how we celebrated our anniversary!
Dinner at Ruth’s Diner…
I love eating outside! It was the perfect summer night and the food is fantastic!
Picnic with Griz at Copperton Park… 
We packed our picnic basket and went out to explore the west side of the valley.
...And a trip to Hawaii!
Pictures will be posted when we return!

Dirty Dash '11
Time to get down and dirty! My girlfriends and I did the Dirty Dash at Soldier Hollow and it was tough… but so fun! The course is covered in mud, obstacles and fierce water hoses. The race began with a mud pit, and then we were up against giant hay bales we had to climb over and muddy tunnels we had to crawl through. We scaled walls as giant fans blew water every which way! Near the end, we slid down a ginormous slip n’ slide! (yay!) And for the big finale... we waded through the pig sty in waist-deep mud to get to the finish line.
It was the hardest race I’ve ever done but I’d do it again! We had a muddy fun time!

She's 21
My little sis is 21! To celebrate this monumental occasion, we took a girls’ trip to Wendover. We stayed in a swank room at Montego Bay and that night hit the casinos in hopes of winning it big. I played roulette and blackjack for the first time. I won $4 but quickly lost it :( Wendover is also big on Keno. We played caveman keno… you can play for a penny and a dollar lasts forever! Still livin’ up the night, we ordered virgin daiquiris, the bartender said he'd have to keep on eye on us because we were too wild. We stayed up late laughing and eating cupcakes and ice cream. I am so grateful for my sisters. I love them so much!
Happy Birthday, Stef!
