yep... just lovin' life.

...LaKe PoWelL...

Finally another post! We've had a fun, interesting last couple of weeks! We finally got to go on our long waited for Lake Powell trip.  It was so much fun. This year we had a ski boat, two wave runners, and two giant tubes. Here are a few pictures of the fun we had...

Dreamy :) We'll see you again next year!



While we were in Powell, we received some sad news about Ricky's grandparents.  They were killed in a head on collision driving through Devil's canyon near Blanding, UT.  They were hit by a Penske moving truck.  Ricky's grandma, Erva was 84 and his grandpa, Johnny was 89 or 90 years old. It was very tragic. Luckily, we were able to attend the funeral last weekend.  It was wonderful.  It was very sad but at the same time I see it as a blessing that they left this Earth together. Sadly, I was never able to meet them. But from the sounds of it they were wonderful people and sweet sweet grandparents. 

My externship...
It is going very well.  I am over half way done today!! It is going by pretty fast. I am getting a lot of experience. I am actually surprised how much I am enjoying it.  I have two weeks left to go...

Ricky and I are enjoying married life to the max.  I am so excited I get to spend my life with such a great person! We may be moving out of our apartment soon.. our contract is up in October and we want to upgrade to a two bedroom. We are looking around for now but aren't completely sure of the plans yet.

  1. Looks like you had another great time at Lake Powell! That must be very sour candy Ricky ate in that one picture to make his face look so "weird!" Too bad your vacation had to be cut a little short because of the accident/funerals. They were very wonderful people, and you missed out not getting to know them,Courtney...they missed out too...I know they would have loved you so much! That's great the externship is going so well! IT was nice seeing your blog!
