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.
We had a really fun Fourth weekend! We drove down to Richfield Friday and went boating Saturday day with parts of the Henrie family and Nick's sisters. Was a beautiful day to go. AFter, we went to a BBQ, spent some time with the Brown clan, and watched fireworks put on by the city...which were actually pretty impressive. The next day Nick and I joined his family for an EARLY morning fishing trip up at Blind Lake. It was a great hike up there and we caught 8 fishies!! I must admit I was a little grossed out when, unlike I'm used to, we kept the fish and Nick's dad cleaned and gutted 'em right on the spot. Ugh...what a stinky mess. I do not understand what people find appealing about the smell of fish cooking, much less the taste! ha. Anyways, it was good times. Afterward, his family took me over to see Capitol Reef which was pretty awesome. We hiked a little up around there and took some fun pictures. The views were amaaaazzing!! I'd like to go back there sometime and hike some more when it's not so scorching hot.haha.
My first fish i caught! I didn't wanna hold it...so nick did the honors;)
On the way to the lake.we were sooo tired that early in the morning..obviously!
Blind Lake. The whole shoreline was rocky like this..kinda weird
On the hike back..nice view!
Capitol Reef. Nick is really good at acting..can't you tell?
Ha..oh ya, we got a flat tire on his dad's truck on the drive back. The road up to the lake was INCREDIBLY rocky and bumpy. But yes. luckily we had 2 big strong men there to yank off that flat tire and throw on the new one. They was pros let me tell ya!
