Biking and Bugs

Corey and I just recently purchased some bikes. We wanted to get some road bikes, but they are pretty pricey, so we decided to get cheaper mountain bikes and see how we like them and then upgrade later. Anyways, Corey and I went biking a couple of days ago at the Jordan Parkway. It was sunny as we were loading our bikes, but as we got on the trail, the sun was setting. NOT a good time to be by the Jordan River. There were bugs everywhere!!! It was so gross. I kept my head down for most of it, and you could hear the bugs hitting the helmet constantly (I'm sure my hair was full of them). And a ton of them got down my shirt, and a couple in my eye!! I thought I had got the bugs out of my eye, but as we returned to the car I asked Corey if I had a bug in my eye and sure enough I did....SICK! My eye was all red!! So needless to say we won't be biking at the parkway anytime soon, at least not at that time of night. We love our bikes though, so if anyone wants to go biking...let us know!

Mayor of SlamCity

Corey and I went fishing again Thursday night with his dad and his uncle. We took his uncle's Party Barge (it's a really big flat boat that can fit about 15-20 people), but it was just the 4 of us. We went to Strawberry. All day long I debated on whether or not I wanted to go, because they weren't leaving until about 4:30pm and we probably wouldn't get home until midnight, but I decided it would be fun...and it was! We immediately started catching...ok let me rephrase that...I started catching fish. I have only fished at Fish Lake and the fish that you catch their are pretty small, so as soon as I started reeling in I thought "Man, this is hard, and then I saw it" It was HUGE! Corey later said "You should have seen your face, it was like you had won the Jackpot!! Anyways, I was very excited! It was about 19 inches long and weighed about 3 lbs. We all caught some (well except for my father-in-law, which of course I couldn't resist rubbing in), but I of course caught the most. Corey's uncle said it was SlamCity and that I was the Mayor. Here are some pics. The first one is my fish, I had Corey hold it because...gross, they are so slimy =)

3 Wonderful Years

So I wanted to post this earlier, but it has been a busy week. Corey and I were married on June 9th, 2005 and on Monday we celebrated our 3rd Anniversary! I can't believe how fast time goes by! I am so blessed to be married to such a wonderful and loving man. Corey, you are my world, and I can't begin to tell you how much I love you. I love you more today than I ever have, and I know that my love will only get stronger with time. You are going to be such a wonderful father someday, and I can't wait to have a family with you! Thank you for your loving example, and for always making me smile and laugh! Here's to 3 more wonderful years...and to Forever!

Fish Lake

Corey and I went camping this last weekend to Fish Lake (one of Corey's favorite places in the world). We spent all day Friday fishing on the lake and it was FREEZING!!! We had tons of layers on, and all I could think throughout the morning was how nice a hot tub would be, or hot chocolate, or hot anything really. It was really windy too, which didn't help, but the fishing was good. We actually caught quite a few fish. Corey fell in the lake trying to retrieve his "free" sunglasses. It was hilarious, but I did feel bad for him, the lake was about 43 degrees. We went with Corey's parents and stayed in their trailer. It was actually a lot of fun. Corey would like to go every weekend if he could.

Memorial Day

Well, I guess I should update my blog a bit, but honestly nothing exciting has been going on! Corey has been out of town....AGAIN!! He was in Spain and then Sweden. Oh how I love my world traveler! He comes home tonight and I cannot wait!! Yesterday was, well FREEZING! All I wanted to do was go outside and be in the sun, but instead we had our BBQ indoors like the rest of Utah. It was still good to be with family!

The return of good movies....FINALLY

I don't know about any of you, but the movie scene has been seriously lacking the past few months...but not anymore. Corey and I went to Iron Man this last weekend and it was so good. I don't know what it is about Comic Hero's, but they make great movies. Plus there is a ton of good movies coming out soon, like the second Narnia, The Dark Knight, and Indiana Jones just to name a few. Just in time for summer I say!

Jury Duty

When I got the summons in the mail that I had been chosen to possibly appear in court for Jury Duty, I was like "UGH! Just my luck!". And considering that they chose me to come on Wednesday (yesterday) and I had the next two days off, I thought "Are you kiddin' me?....Nice!". So I went, and actually from the beginning of the day my luck was improving. I made great time with Traffic and when I arrived I was able to get parking right in front of the building. Since I knew I was going to be there awhile, I had come prepared with books, bottle water and snacks. I was there for the long haul. But as it turned out, they didn't choose me so I got to come home around 11:00am. Well, actually I went back to work, but at least now I have done my duty and they can't call on me for another two years. And to be honest, it wasn't all that bad. I just sat there and read Twilight for most of it.
