It’s hot in our little apartment here in Logan. This last weekend we needed to get away to somewhere a little cooler, so we went to the Tetons. (Sorry I didn’t tell you Mom, but I think everyone’s weekend was a little less stressed this way.) Anyway, it’s a trip we meant to [...]
Noel and I have gone on several hikes this summer where hikers in serious looking, ankle high boots wielding telescoping trekking poles have given us skeptical and somewhat infuriated looks as we pass them up on the trail in our open-toed, care-free Chacos. Most recently we were in the Tetons and [...]
As a display of our patriotism, Noel and I decided to participate in a Freedom Run to kick off our Fourth of July. It was hot and now we’re tired, but we won punch passes to the local aquatic center – that will be a nice escape from our sweltering apartment. Noel’s parents cheered us [...]
Any weekend is a good reason to take a few extra days and enjoy the summer. We got to spend a very nice, relaxing weekend up at Park City with Grandma and Grandpa McConkie. While up there we got to see a parade of the fireman’s convention (a whole parade of firetrucks, the coolest part [...]
Over the Memorial Day weekend we went down to Blanding for Vanessa’s Graduation (congrats!). While we were down there we also braved torrential rain and relentless wind as we ventured to Moab where we relived Danielle and Annie’s days as river guides and got in touch with our Hippie side at the local art festival. [...]
We just had a great little road trip down to Las Vegas to go to Annie’s graduation. Even though we spent most of the time driving down there and across town, it was still a great time. We got to go on a cousin hike in Red Rock Canyon there by Vegas. While we were [...]
So, we were recently released from being on the MSA (Married Student Association) Executive Council at the LDS Institute here in Logan. Before they let us go though, we were in charge of a service activity at the temple where we helped sand and paint the fence. Although the turnout isn’t as big as the [...]
Since we passed the one year milestone on our matrimonial bliss we had the opportunity to follow the tradition of eating the top of our wedding cake. Granted we had heard many horror stories about how bad wedding cake can be after a whole year. However, due to the excellent packing and freezing abilities of [...]
Audrey and I spent our Spring Break wreaking havoc in our Nation’s Capitol . . . well as much as we could while still passing multiple daily security checks. We stayed in a lovely B&B in Virginia
and saw such cultural sights such as the Puffy Shirt from Seinfeld and Mr. Rogers Cardigan.
