Softball in St. George

Nate and Kohler got the bright idea to throw together a slow-pitch softball team in St. George earlier this spring. I call it a bright idea because they went down there and lost every game but one. Don't mess with the teams that do slow-pitch softball tournaments, they are serious about it lol. Their team should have been really good, they had lots of athletic guys but, like I said, you don't mess with those teams that do tournaments. Anyway it was still really fun to go down there and chill in the sun and any excuse I can come up with to hang out with one of my sisters and niece/nephew I am there. Good thing Dallan lives for slow-pitch!

Nate Win's a Scholarship Award!

Nate won an award for his "EDGE" project at SUU in fall 2013. It was basically an award he got for a required class with the college regarding community service. His project involved him taking a bunch of pre-health students from SUU to the reservation to shadow different healthcare professionals and perform free A1C testing for anyone there. It's hilarious that he won and that they featured him in all kinds of advertising for SUU because he thought it was the dumbest class ever and he was mad about it the entire time. It was a dumb class but hey, we'll take the cash.

Summer 2013

A few weeks after the Kanarraville hike we went on The Red Cliffs hike by Leads (I guess we were on a hike kick at the time). Anyway, this hike we went with Terron, Swayzi, Kohler, and Sage. It was fun at the beginning when there was the big swimming pond and slide but later on the river got really deep and murky which I didn't care for. Kanarraville was definitely better but it still made for a good time with friends. P.S. Don't mind how white we all are, especially me!

A few weeks later we hit up Sand Hollow which was a first for Nate and I.It is somewhat like Lake Powell but not quite as cool. It was still way fun but the water was freezing!

Near the end of June 1013 my best friend Cassi got married to Steven. It was fun to go to Salt Lake and watch them get hitched, she made such a pretty bride!

Summer 2013

So I realize I'm a year late with these posts but better late than never I guess. We did this hike last summer with Terron and Swayzi in Cedar City called Kanaraville Falls and it was easily the funnest hike I've ever done. We went in early spring and the weather/water was perfect. You basically walk up a river for a few miles so you have to be willing to get pretty wet but that's what made it so fun. Here are some pictures of the day.

Camping With Friends

Terron and Swayzie moved into our apartment building last fall and it has been so much fun/exhausting having them around. They are busy bodies for sure and are always up for doing anything no matter the time, distance, work, or unfavorable elements involved. They have been good for Nate and I as far as making us get out and live life instead of worrying about everything all the time. So in March we found a spot near Cedar to go camping with them and Pratt and Darci. It felt like high school all over again but that's not a bad thing in my eyes. I'm lucky to still live by most of my high school friends and it was fun to get out and feel like teenagers again.

Snowboarding at Eagle Mountain

So I had no idea (even after six years of dating)that Nate was so obsessed with snowboarding. He had been wanting his own equipment and I kept telling him no because first of all we had only gone a few times in our life, I didn't want to deal with storing it while moving around a lot in college, and it is an expensive hobby (which Nate seems to take a liking to those types of hobbies haha). Anyway, I don't know how he does it but he has a way of working things out so that I can't say no. He found us screaming deals on boards, bindings, and boots so I gave in and we now own all of the stuff to go. I only made it out once this winter with Nate but he got to go a couple times so I guess all of our new gear is worth it? Haha anyway, here are some pics of that day.

We got to go with Terron and Swayzie which made it a lot more fun since Nate and Terron wanted to break their backs and Sway and I were just content with getting down the mountain.

I like to think that I'm in pretty decent shape but man, after a day of snowboarding I am proved otherwise. Here's for hoping for a lot of snow next year!

Next Stop...Vegas!

At the end of January we headed down to Vegas for the day so that I could take the NCLEX and hopefully do a little celebrating afterwards. The pictures on this trip are limited because it was raining and even a little rain makes my already larger than life hair twice as big so, as you can imagine, I wasn't too keen on taking pictures. That night we got to walk the strip, see the water show, and see the Treasure Island show which I USED to love. Now the Treasure Island show basically just consists of a bunch of whores who can't sing so it was pretty disappointing. We did have fun though but had to be back that night for Nate's school which was a bummer.

Nate wanted to gamble but I can only handle about two seconds in casinos before I start suffocating from the cigarette smoke. Shouldn't it be illegal to smoke indoors? Or at all? Anyway, we didn't stay there very long because of that reason.
