The best two year of our lives

Monday was our two year anniversary. We can't believe it has been two years already time really does fly when you are having fun. We are so glad that we took the opportunity to get married in the temple so that our love and marriage will last for eternity.

For our anniversary we took it easy and just enjoyed the day. We both had to work in the morning, but after that we went on a walk up the canyon. Later we went to dinner at chillies, played mini golf and watched a movie at home. Curt made white chocolate marshmallow fondue, it was really good but kind of runny. It was fun to just spend time together.

I bought curt two pairs of pants and a nice button up shirt for work. Curt gave me the statue "Promise" from the Willow Tree Collection. It was a great day and i am looking forward to many more great days

Pictures from our family Vacation

Yeah!! we have our pictures from our trip. We went a lot of places so there are a lot of pictures. Here I am with my mom and sister at Lake Tahoe. The lake was beautiful and reminded me a lot of Bear Lake. We went swimming and jumped the waves.(sorry no pictures). It took curt a while to decided he wanted to get in, but i think once he got in he had a lot of fun.

The above pictures is inspiration point. It is the only island on Lake Tahoe. We went on a couple hikes. Here we are on the top of a water fall. My dad was scared because he is afraid of heights and my brothers were climbing all over the edge.

This is the best picture I could get of the Golden Gate Bridge. It is a really awesome bridge.

While in San Francisco we drove on Lombard Street the wind twistiest street in the US. I did not get a very good picture. We also saw the street where Princess Mia from Princess Diaries rolled down the hill into the trolley and the machine her grandma arm wrestles.

We went over to Fisherman's Wharf where Curt really liked all the ships and subs. For dinner that night we ate in China Town.
On our way to our hotel we stopped and waited in the ocean. My sister and brother went swimming but I thought it was to cold and late. We did get some really cool pictures though.

Friday and Saturday we went hiking around Yosemite National park. They had lots of pretty water falls and lakes. While hiking on Saturday we ran into a lot of smoke from a fire it was crazy it looking like the sun was setting a 5:oo at night.

These giant sequoia's were huge but really cool. We were accually able to climb into some of them.

We had a great time but i think we spent a little too much time in the car. We are waiting for Allen and Kathy to take their engagement pictures. For those of you who know my brother Allen he is getting Married in October.

We are Home

We had a blast but we are so glad to be home and get some sleep. I can't post pictures right now because I left my camera in the rental car and my parents saved it. So we i get it i will post pictures and tell you about our trip.

Before we left on our trip we had a big surprise. Saturday July 19th we got a call form the stake saying they wanted to met with us. We were a little nervous because we knew they were making lots of changes in our ward. So we get into the stake presidents office and the presidents tells Curt he would like to call him to be the 2nd councilor in the Bishopric. We were surprised but we knew it was were Curt needed to be and i get to join the whifes club. We just thought he had already had his turn. We know that if we follow the lord we will learn a lot, become closer to the lord and each other.

We are off to California

We are going to California for a family vacation with my (Christine) whole family. We are excited to get away from the stress and worries of life even though curt has to bring his Physiology and study for his final. We are going to Reno, Lake Tahoe, San Fransisco and a few other places. I hopefully will get to swim in the ocean for the first time. I will post pictures and update you on what has been going on the last couple of weeks when we get back.

Summer School

Curt is taking Physiology this summer. It takes a lot of time and when he is a home he spends a lot of time studying, although it is paying off. When he took it a couple semesters ago he did not do so well and he is already doing WAY Better. I am proud of him for working so hard (even though he would rather be playing) and doing so well. He is going to prove to Andy that he is Smart. I know that we are being blessed and that Curt is receiving help because he is working so hard and going to school like the lord has commanded. I don't know how we would get though school with out the lords help.

Family Reunion

We went up to Curt's parents house for a family reunion. On Friday night curt went on camping with his dad brother and nephew for fathers and sons. So the girls had a girls night out. We had smores and watched one of Jane Austins movies called Persuasion.

On Saturday I played at the park with the kids while curt was helping his dad put in a new door for fathers day.

That night we all played Crockett. Curt and I set up the course that was kind of like a mine golf course. We had it going all over the back yard and around obstacles. The end stick was up a ramp so you had to hit you ball though the two hoops, up the ramp and hit the stick. It was a funny game with the kids. Hanna stole curt club and was hitting the ball the through the hoops. It was fun to get away for a few days and spend time with family.

Trying New Recipes

Sometimes for date nights we try new recipies and they don't always work out perfectly. It is fun trying to cook in a small kitchen because their is not much counter space. We were trying to make a chicken pot pie and their was not enough room on the counter to roll out the dough so we had to bring it out on to the table. We had flour every where and then the dough did not even fit into the dish very well. Some of the cruts was really thick and other part were really thin. Yet it tasted really good so i guess that is all that matters.
Sometimes I am amazed at how brilliant i am. Today i was cooking dinner and i was making porcupines, which are meat balls with rice. I was not thinking and i browned the hamburger first so we could not make them into balls. So we fried it up and ended up making sloppypines instead of porcupines. I guess i need to read recipes more carefully.

Trip to Rexburge

To take a break from school we took a trip to Logan to see our niece Eme's be blessed and spend some time with Lisa Ryan Becca Mathew and Hanna. It was so nice to get away from logan and see the family.

Isn't she such a cute little girl and she is a good baby too. Her mom made her blessing dress it was so pretty.

I thought this picture was just precious i just had to post it so every one could see how cute my nieces are. The picture below is a picture of Curt's family.

We took the kids on a walk to the park and had some fun playing on the play ground. It felt good to be out in the sun instead of snow or rain. I think i may have actually got some color.

Ashleys Wedding

Curt and I went to my cousin Ashley's wedding reception. It was great to see her so happy. It was also great to see my family and catch up with my cousins. I think this picture is so cute. It was fun to be together.

This will be a great picture for family history. It is a great picture of my grandma and all of her granddaughters.

Update

We are just finishing up the semester. It will be way nice to be done and have a break from school. Are life right now is studing and preparing for finales. We are planning on going to my cousins wedding reception next weekend and then we will be heading up to rexburge to see our niece Eme Snelgrove be blessed. It will be niece to see Ryan, Lisa and the Kids . I am looking for a job for the summer if anyone knows of any in Logan. Curt is going to be taking a summer class because he did not do so well in Physiology last semester. Curt and I have both switched our field of study. I was going into Elementary Education, but i switched to Special Education. I will be in school for 2 or more years. Curt is still majoring in exercise science but he wants to get a Masters in Corporate wellness instead of physical therapy. And he will be in School for 2 or so years. It will be a while until we are done with school but it will all be worth it when we are done.
I also wanted to show some pictures from valientines and Easter. For valientines Curt made me dinner and and we had chocholate fondue. Chocholate covered strawberries are so good For easter we had My Cousing Ashley and her fiance Mark over for dinner. After they left curt and i died easter eggs. We also got presents. Curt got some new hunting boots and i got a church coat since it get really cold her in logan. Sorry there is so much all at once but school has been crazy.
