Fact Sheet

Things you might not know about Garrick and I (This is for our posterity folks).. ready go!

1. Our first real callings as newly weds were to teach Marriage and Family in our ward. We loved loved loved this calling and is part of the reason we had such a hard time leaving that ward when we moved (we stuck around as long as the bishop let us).But we loved spending Sunday mornings reading through the lesson, talking about our marriage and finding new ways to improve then giving the lesson and getting so much participation in our class. We also learned how to teach together which was fun for us.

2. Since we've moved we no longer have a dishwasher and we have both developed a small hatred for doing the dishes. This usually results in a mountains of dishes by the end of the week, at that point we knock them out together. Dishes always seem more bearable with your spouse by your side. We usually find a topic to debate with each other and the time just flies! It's now rare not to do dishes together, we like it. 

3. We LOVE Tillmook Smores ice cream (no other brand) and Sunny D otter pops, they are hands down our favorite treats. They are heavenly, seriously. 

4. We like to dress each other; we didn't have a mirror for a good couple months so we had get approval from the other person before we left the house to make sure we looked presentable. Now that we have a mirror we can defend our clothing choices but the other person still usually wins. 

5. We have a thing for medical shows. It probably has to do with the fact that Garrick is going into medicine, but we can't get enough of it. We just finished Grey's Anatomy and are now onto House. We like to think it's educational. 

That's all for now, until next time! 

Life Lately

Why is summer so great? We love everything about it and are having so much fun lately. We don't want summer to ever end!! A lot of people we know complain about living in Provo or Utah in general, but we are loving it right now because there is so much to do all the time. We are never bored or feel like we have nothing to do. With Garrick in school we make sure to make the most out of every free night and every free weekend. We feel like it's been a pretty good summer so far. 

We went to Moab twice! I learned and conquered the mountain biking trails, no big deal. 

Our second trip to Moab we got rained out our last night there, this is us eating inside the car. It was seriously crazy how bad it got out there-that story is for another day. But we survived!

We've loved going to the park with our "little brother", Tommas. They both love climbing trees, as I watch terrified. On the right is Garrick with his pan of homemade donuts. He has been on a baking kick-I don't mind a bit!

Memorial Day we got together with our Salt Lake friends and had a BBQ at Utah Lake. It was such a nice day, the food was delicious, the water was warm and we got to be with great friends. From left to right: Aly, Race, Garrick, me, Dianne, Eddy, and baby Marley.

Garrick has been on a fishing kick lately, and this past weekend he finally caught a fish! I'm so proud haha. He had gone a handful of times but didn't have any luck. But he caught this poor guy and ate it (gross). He's a happy man again.

This past weekend we went camping with the Hancocks and Becks. We had a great time eating food and playing games. We love camping and are excited to go every chance we get!

  

It was absolutely beautiful up Provo Canyon and we look forward to spending many more camping trips up there! 

We've been lucky so far since Garrick doesn't have drill and school hasn't been too crazy yet, hopefully it stays this way for as long as possible because we're loving it!
