Lake Powell Pictures

So here's some of the pictures from Powell. Sadly, most of the wakeboarding pictures and junk are on other people's cameras. I didn't take very many b/c my camera kinda sucks..but i'll have to see if i can get the pictures from someone:)

Our campsite..and nick. NOTE: So little did we know, as we were taking down the tents, Dunker found a baby rattle snake underneath the side of one! Talk about scary..that coulda been a pretty bad situation. So of course, Dunker went and put on some gloves, came back and tried to pick up the snake and play w/him. We all kept yelling at him to leave it alone. After a while he did..and fortunately has no injuries to show for it.

Nick and Preston, debating whether to jump or not....they did. In the car on the way. Me, nick, Maddi, and Hallie
The other half of our campsite

One of the canyons we drove through on the boat. It's so pretty!

Lately...

So life since the honeymoon has been pretty good..I mean, it's no honeymoon, but its good.haha. It's difficult a lot of the time just because I feel like we don't get to see each other nearly as much as I thought we would. I'm going to school, doing my internship at elevate fitness (still), and working. Nick works FULL time. Although he usually is supposed to go into work at about 9 and get off around 5, he often goes in around 8:30 or 9 and gets home around 9:30 (on a good day). Other times he has stayed at work till almost 11pm. Needless to say, I get a tad upset on those days. I know i shouldn't..but it's difficult. I'm sure he likes it less than i do, so I really have no room to complain:) The time we do get to spend together is wonderful though. We try to have at least one date night a week...which more often than not, includes Chili's!! Even though we've only been married 3 months (the 21st), it feels as if we've been together much longer! I feel like an old married couple a lot of times..haha, it's fun. I think it's just that we know each other so well so it feels like that. It's great to know that we still have our whole lives and lots of good times in front of us though:)



So this last weekend (Thurs-sun) I had my only 3 days off school for the summer. We took advantage of that and got a group of people together and headed off to Lake Powell. Preston, Dunker, Maddi, Hallie, Riley, Nick and I spent a few days campin on the beach, wake-boarding, tubing, and driving the boat through the huge gorgeous canals and cliffs of lake Powell. Nick and Preston went cliff jumping..the rest of us were too wimpy.ha Yikes. I did take a few pictures and will add them shortly. But it was a great get-away.



We are both back to work now and i've started the summer semester at school. Just taking 2 classes though, so not too heavy a load for the summer term. Graduation is soo soon!! August 13th and 14th I think. I'm so excited for that. I'll actually graduate in december b/c i have fall semester still. Nick is still doing well at Brent BRown Chev. He is successful in whatever he does:) Although car sales is slow for him, finance and accessories are picking up the slack for the most part. He's gettin really antsy though...he wants to move into a house so so badly. I love our condo (besides the paper thin walls and the constant barking of the freaking dog downstairs). And i really don't want to move somewhere in Ut valley if we're gonna move. When we do, I want to go to St. George b/c Nick will never ever move outta Ut and St. G is the only place i would want to live in Ut if i have to for the rest of my life! ha.
