Logan Temple

For February's temple trip we went to the
Logan Temple with our ward! I love all the new
things you learn and experience each time that you go!
We are excited that we have met our goal so far. We will be
going to a new temple next month with Jordan, Brady's cousin.

Brady's One Year Mark!

A year ago today Brady came home from his mission.
I remember how excited I was for him to come home
and wondering when or if he was going to contact me!
I am so glad for Facebook because that is the only way
that he knew how to find me because he didn't have any
of my phone numbers anymore! It does not seem like it
has been a year but a lot has happened(obviously)in that
year! It has been a fun one and I look forward to many more!

My Work!

I work on campus at Utah State University
International Cooperative Education and Initiatives.
We like to call it International Programs for obvious reasons.
I have worked here since about September and I have really
enjoyed it. This job has been such a blessing in my life, and I
am sure in Brady's as well because I don't worry about going to
this job as much as past jobs. Seeing how it is on campus they
let me work around my school schedule so I just go in when
I am not in class. I am able to work more hours because
I can just run back and forth from class to work.

I really enjoy the girls that I work with. I have learned so much
from them and not just things concerning work. We all get
along very well and enjoy spending time together. I
also really enjoy working with my boss. She is
very caring and is a good boss. I respect
her a lot and I am also learning a lot from her.
She is from China and the sites that we work with are in
China so I have been able to learn more about their culture.

Ogden Temple!

We have made it one of our goals for this year to go
to the temple every month. We are also going to try
to go to as many different temples as we can this
year too. January's ward temple day was at the
Ogden temple because the Logan temple was
closed at the time. We drove down with Brittany
and Justin to go shopping before and then we met up
with the ward. After the session we all went to dinner
at The Pizza Factory. It was a lot of fun! We really enjoy
going to the temple and feeling how strong the spirit is there
and being able to escape the influences of the world for
a time. We can also see the blessings that come from
going there as well. We are excited to meet this
goal and to see which temples we can visit!!

Rodeo!

One of the first dates that Brady and I went on
when he got home from his mission was the rodeo
at the Golden Spike Arena in Ogden and we
were able to go to it again this year!

My family really likes this rodeo and we have gone
every year for a couple of years now. It is fun to
go with everyone and it is a good rodeo!

Brittany's Baby Shower

Brittany is having her baby girl soon so
we figured we better throw her a shower!

I have decided to make the presents I give into the
name of the baby but seeing how they do not
have a name picked out yet I went with baby girl!

It was a lot of fun. We played a Finish the Nursery
Rhyme Game...

and pictionary!

We are all excited for Brittany's
baby to be part of the family!

Hardware Ranch!

It is starting to look like a yearly tradition for us
to go to Hardware Ranch. I really enjoy going up in
the canyon and seeing all the elk. It is cool to see
so many of them together in one spot.

This year we went with my family. It was
really nice because we got the sled to ourselves.

I was freezing! I guess I needed to wear more layers!Like Nathan, he had plenty of layers on.These were the horses that pulled our sled.While we were there, a young calf was looking for
it's mom but it couldn't find it so it kept calling for her.
