Two months down...

...an eternity to go! :)

Time is an interesting thing. On one hand, it is crazy to think it has already been two months since we got married. On the other hand, it seems like it has been so much longer than that.

Either way, the past two months have been so good. :) I knew I was going to be really happy, and that I was getting an incredible man, but it just gets better as time goes by. I still don't know how I got so lucky.

He makes me happy. :)

In other news, we went canyoneering this past weekend with some friends. We did two canyons (Salome and Parker Creek) and were very, very tired by the time we finally got home. It took a bit longer than we anticipated. Totally worth it though! They are both incredible canyons.

These pictures are from Salome.

Can you tell we were all kind of having a hard time keeping our balance? 

We love waterslides!

That's me going down this one. :)


"Honey, where's mah supah-suit?"

Another waterslide... wahoo! 

This was one of my favorite parts. And no, not entirely because Dallin was there.  ;)

The rest of the pictures are from Parker Creek Canyon.

The beginning of some sweet narrows

Even more waterslides!

There were a few rappels. This one was pretty short.

The 80-footer. Can you see me? :)

This world is a pretty amazing place, isn't it? While we were doing this canyons, I kept thinking about how beautiful and varied the earth is, and how thankful I am to be physically capable to do things like this that enable me to enjoy God's creations in this way. It makes it even better to get to do it with my partner in crime. :)

This weekend's adventures

Yesterday Dallin and I did a canyon in the Superstitions with 3 friends of ours. Here's just a few pictures. :)

The first rappel into the cold, cold water below


Brrrrr... chilly water!

Nice moves, babe! ;)

I swan through this. It was cool. 

We climbed over lots of rocks.

This was such a pretty place! I wish you could see inside the pools.

I love spending time outside admiring this amazing world that God created for us. I'm sure he wanted us to enjoy it. It is such a beautiful place, isn't it? I hope you take the time to appreciate it whenever you get the chance.

Well, not much else is new around here... just another beautiful Sunday, which is my favorite day of the week! It's so nice to have a day to spend just doing the things I love with the people I love.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

St. Patrick's Day has never been a very significant holiday for me. Usually, the extent of my celebrations is wearing something green so I don't get pinched by certain members of my family that find this tradition most amusing. ;) Although in my humble opinion, I think being a redhead it reason enough to get away with not wearing green, right? Right!

However, this year was different. The stars lined up just right so Dallin, his cousin Ryan, and I could go do Blarney and Leprechaun canyons in Southern Utah on St. Patty's day! Definitely the most epic St. Patrick's day I've ever had... by far.

And we even wore matching shirts. We're that cool... or weird. ;)
Here's a bunch of pictures from the day.
