Last year was a very full year! ha. I had an awesome birthday with my hubby and beautiful puppy! Just a couple weeks later though, we had to give her away. I found out that we weren't in fact allowed to have a dog and were gonna have to pay a ton of money if we kept her, so i had to say good bye. It was awful! Luckily though, the family we gave her to was awesome. They lived in the canyon with a huge piece of property and they sent me a few emails saying how happy she was. So i'm glad she got to be part of a family with lots of kids. I'll never forget my sweet little Lola and how amazing she was. Note to self: Don't get a dog unless you know you can keep it!! (This was our second attempt at a dog and i was devastated when i learned i couldn't keep the other one either. ha, You'd think i would have learned my lesson the first time!)
I finished school in April, (just the semester, not the whole thing. ha.) and started working at Myler Disability. It's the same place my sister works. I liked it but it was pretty boring. Ha. The only thing that made it kind of ok was the fact that heather worked there, and that i made some new friends. Most of those friends aren't really close anymore, but they made it fun to go to work everyday. (Sorry, no pics of Myler. Ha.)
We did have a fun family reunion with the cheney side though! We went to Uncle Karl's family's cabin in Star Valley WY and made a few trips to Jackson Hole. Went to see the Bar J Wranglers, who are always fun, kayaked the snake river, did some hiking in the tetons, and enjoyed family. very little drama to speak of. Ha.
The next fun thing of the summer had to be going to Erie for Justin's birthday! We got tos pend some time with the fam playing on the beach and hangin out. Justin got to play in a little beach volleyball tournament with his dad and brothers, so that was fun. We got to go to the place we got engaged exactly 3 years before! That was way neat. We got a neat magnet (our thing is getting magnets everywhere we go. it's kinda lame, but also kinda cool. ha) but then we lost it!! :( Oops. Ha. We went to the little cabin in NY on the lake and had an awesome time there too. All around, good weekend!
The next amazing adventure this summer was our trip to California with Blake and Nellie. We had tickets to go bunjee jumping at the bridge to nowhere in San Gabriel Canyon, Asuza, CA. So we made a weekend out of it by going for a couple days. The first day we were at Magic Mountain, The second day we did our crazy jump and then went to the beach for a little bit and walked around Hollywood a little. (Who knew the temple was in Hollywood?! Ha. I didn't!)
So the big event of the weekend was definitely the bungee jump!! The craziest thing we've ever done! We had to be there super early so we could get the hike done before the sun started blaring on us. The hike to the bridge was 5 miles long! We had to cross this river like 6 times. The hike wasn't that bad though, even though 5 miles seems way far. ha. So we got to the bridge right before the sun came out, so it was perfect. The guides did a quick intro on what we were gonna do and all the rules of jumping and then they asked for volunteers and Nellie and I volunteered to go first! And then out of the 4 that were going first I was THE first one to go!! It was crazy but i knew if i didn't go first I wouldn't go at all. So i got all strapped up and climbed over the rail and jumped off head first! It was seriously scary but i was so excited i didn't think about it. Ha. It was amazing! Nellie went after me and Blake went next. Justin was then all ready to go but he was scared so it took him seriously like an hour to go! It's ok though. We still love him. ha. The hike back out wasn't so much fun cuz i gave myself a little dehydration. Oops! but overall it was an amazing day. I wanna go again!
K, Computer battery's gonna die! Gotta go! I'll finish this later!! :)
