We bought a car

Attention: You may see me cruising around town in my new whip. Bryan and I have had just one car since we got married- his trusty Durango. It has done us well. It took us to California and back while pulling a trailer, to Provo and back 3x per week for me to work, plus where ever our hearts desired. Sadly, it only gets an average of 15 mpg. Ouch. And Bryan was often stranded in our apartment when I went to work and he often rode his bike to work in Cali. It was time for another car.

We searched and searched for a car we both liked. Our prize and beauty was found at Awesome Auto. Awesome name right? The dealer was really nice and we felt like we could trust them. Other places made us feel like we were getting riped off.


Our final choice was a white Nissan Altima Hybrid. Yes, we went green. Mostly because it gets 35+ mpg. Huge difference. Its all fancy and is keyless. Its hard to tell when its on because it starts electric. Watch out bikers... you can't hear us coming! We love our new baby.

Lake Powell

Hello from Lake Powell! Going to Powell is a family tradition we have done for probably a decade. Every year I look forward to it... and it never disappoints. 

The most exciting news of the trip is that my brother Kevin and Melissa got engaged! He pulled out a ring and got on his knee while they were riding the tube. Don't worry it was a temporary fake one just in case it got dropped to the bottom of the lake. I am so excited and happy for these two!!

We had lots of fun boating, surfing, eating, playing werewolves, getting the scoop on Eric's love life, cliff jumping, and bonding. Bryan and I had our first kiss two years ago there so it was fun to be back there together. Thanks to everyone to helped make this a wonderful vacation!
