Wow, crazy summer! We've had a lot going on for the past couple months! Ryan has had summer semester to deal with, I've started at 2 new jobs (AHHH!), we've been trying to organize our apartment, going on multiple vacations, and still trying to get used to married life. Don't worry, we love it!



Thanks to everyone who came to our Open House! Thanks especially to our families for going crazy putting up decorations all day, and Big thanks to Joy and Sherm for putting together such awesome decor in like zero time. It was such a party. For those who didn't come, you missed out! We had cupcakes, homemade suckers and caramels, cookies, glass pop bottles, ice cream and toppings, and Balloons for everyone! I was worried about having it in the church, but thanks to pretty much the whole neighborhood, our family and friends, it looked AMAZING! By the end of the night, Ryan and I were kapoot. So tired! It was really nice to just go home afterwords instead of leaving on a plane. We'd recommend doing your wedding and reception on 2 different days to anyone!



Our next big adventure was to none other than Hatch, Utah (just outside Kanab and Panguitch), where Ryan's family has a cabin. There's a huge waterslide that goes all the way down a huge hill into the pond, and it's pretty much the scariest thing in the world! Our favorite part about the slide, however, was listening to Jordy (Ryan's Brother) go down it screaming "I'm a man! I'M A MAN!" over and over again. Ha! We love Jordy. Oh, and guess what lives down there? Lizards. Lots of lizards, and Horny Toads (I didn't name them!) I thought they would be gross, but they were actually pretty cool!

So now that summer is pretty much over, Ryan has started back at school (lots and lots of credits!) along with a part time job on the side, and I've started working at the salon 4 days a week, and a second job 2 times a week. Holy Cow.
Even with all this craziness, we love life, and guess what...We're still happily married! Imagine that :)
