I can’t believe that July is more than half over already!! Time flies when you are having fun I guess! We have some exciting news that is going to change our lives in a big way! After much praying and planning, we are excited to announce that we are going to be moving to Pocatello in August! Rumel is going to be back to school at ISU in their college of Technology. He is in their Energy Systems Technology program going into their Electrical Engineering course. We are both really excited! It’s a little scary to think about going back to being poor college students, but this is what we know we are supposed to be doing so everything will work out. It will be nice to be closer to Rumel’s family and be about the same distance from mine.
So to recap the first half of July, our Fourth of July was great! We went up to Blackfoot that Thursday after work and spent 4 days with the family up there. Rumel’s youngest brother Troy, was home on leave for a few weeks and it was great to see him! That Friday we spent the day in Pocatello looking for a place to live. We are happy to say that we found a great little two bedroom, two bath apartment up by the Highland Golf course. Friday night we celebrated one of Rumel’s other brother’s, Tyler, birthday. Saturday and Sunday was spent hanging out with family and relaxing. We watched fireworks and set some off of our own. Then on Monday we went to Jensen’s Grove (a local lake in Blackfoot) and had a picnic with some of Rumel’s extended family. It was really windy that day so we didn’t get in the water but it was still great to spend time with the cousins, aunts, and uncles that we don’t really get to see.
Our next few weeks should be interesting. The 22nd was supposed to be my last day of work, but things are changing. I’ll still be working the first few weeks of August and then I’m going to work remotely from Pocatello for a little bit. My boss is trying to get the approval for me to work remotely permanently so keep good thoughts for us and we wouldn’t be unappreciative of prayers. But on the 23rd of July we are starting a 10-day vacation. We’ll keep you updated on everything!

We Are Still Alive!
Okay so sorry it has been forever since we updated. It just seems like time keeps going by faster and faster. I can’t believe that 2010 is half way over! Where has the year gone? So a recap for May and June.
May we were busy with work, work, and more work. We did celebrate 2 years on the 21st! I can’t believe how fast it has gone by! Its seems like just a month ago we were planning our wedding and it couldn’t get here fast enough, now 2 years have gone by. But life is great and just getting better and better! To celebrate we got a couples massage which was soooooooo relaxing and then went up to Cache Valley to stay at the Providence Inn. We just spent the weekend relaxing and chilling together and with friends and family. It was great! Just what I needed.
June was also crazy! I spent a lot of time at work. =( We were going through a second conversion for the last 2 divisions in our group. I’m so glad to have all the conversions done with now! In June we celebrated Rumel’s 32nd birthday! We kept it kind of low key because that was the actual week of the conversion at work. So we went to dinner at Red Robin and then just relaxed at home. Hopefully Rumel had a good birthday! I’m so grateful for such an amazing husband! I love you more baby!
Then this last Friday night we watched Rumel’s brother’s kids overnight so the Travis and Heather could attend a marriage conference. It was an adventure. We ate pizza, went to the park, made milk shakes, and watched a movie. Then Saturday morning, we had breakfast watched another movie, Rumel went swimming with Harlee and Bodie while I stayed here with Jax (he was napping). When Travis and Heather came back, we went to Hoogle Zoo with them. It was fun to see all the animals and spend time with family. After we got done with the zoo, Travis and Heather headed back to Idaho, Rumel and I went to ‘How to Train Your Dragon’. It was so cute! Then we went to the store and Jamba Juice. All in all it was a great weekend! I’m excited for July because we have lots of fun things planned. I’ll keep you updated on things and try to remember to take pictures.

April Recap
Sorry it’s been awhile. Rumel has posted pictures and the details from our awesome road trip to Washington. It was so great to get away from work for a few days and spend time with my hubby! We had a blast in Ellensburg, Seattle, and Boise. The worst part of the trip was that the blinker switch in my car would just randomly click and keep clicking forever. At points It made for a REALLY long car ride, especially when the warning tone would ding and not stop. But we got that fixed ($700 later) once we got home. Thanks again to Trevor and Kari for putting us up and letting us come and crash the baptism. It was so great to get to spend time with you guys. I’m glad that Rumel was able to get to know you guys better. I can’t wait for Bear Lake!!!!
A lot of people are probably wondering if anything happened with Biggest Loser. Well, a week or so after the auditions here in SLC the casting director that I met with called me and told me that she wanted to make sure that I did an audition video. So Rumel and I bought a video camera and went to work. We finished it in about a week and got it sent off. I was in contact with Barb (the casting director) and she let me know that she got it and sent it on to the powers that be. The deadline to hear anything back was the 23rd. Unfortunately, I didn’t hear anything from the show. But that is okay because Rumel and I are going to get in shape together. And if I would have been on the show I would have missed all the fun vacations and family stuff this summer. And who knows, maybe I’ll try again for the next show but for now things happened the way they were supposed to.
So since my last post, we celebrated my 25th birthday. I was spoiled royally by my cute hubby. We got the video camera as part of my birthday present and I also got new glasses. Then when we were in Seattle I got a new fabulous purse and lots of clothes. On my actual birthday, we celebrated Easter and conference the same day. We invited Lisa over to dinner with us and then watched the last session of conference together. Lisa then help us film the last little bit of my video. It was a great birthday and past few weeks! Hope all is well with everyone!

The Bainbridge ferry. This boat can hold hundreds of cars and a few thousand people. It was really fun to ride across to Bainbridge.

Depending on the tide the level of this lake and the ocean can be several feet different so they built these locks for ships to pass through. A ship such as this tug boat come in from the lake, the close the lock, open some valves and gravity pulls the water out of the lock.
Once the water is out and the level in the lock is the same as it is on the outside then the open the next set of gates and the boat can head out into the ocean. While we were there the difference between the ocean and the lake was about 30 ft. It was really cool to watch the boats come in and go out.
