Yea for Sisters!

It is so incredibly beautiful here in North Boise this fall and we have been enjoying the season! Since we have moved back to Boise we have had many opportunities to hang out with our families. Especially Tay and I, and have we had fun!!


We have gone to concerts....
Cyrina gave us tickets to Sarah Evans.
Secondhand Serenade.


We've entertained family....
Our cousin Paige.


Grandma taught us how to can apples...
Grandma teaching and telling us what to do.
The ancient apple pealer. It was our great great grandmas..I think. It was entertaining.

Grandpa making sure the equipment worked. It didn't.

Dad uh... supervising?

Grandma didn't really like this idea. She thought we were going to bruise the apples. We did.

And we've played in the rain....


We have had a ton of fun being together, and one day we hope we will have the same rights as others and be married. Sick America. Go PROP 8!

Birthday Madness

Last Saturday was Greg's 22nd Birhtday!!! I was so excited to celebrate it with him. This was the first birthday that I have spent with Greg. I did all the fun birthday things, including decorating the house and breakfast in bed. His birthday was also our 6th month aniversary, Woot! Greg wanted to suprise me with doing sealings at the temple. I figured it out when he told me to get into dress. Later that evening we went out to dinner with our family and friends. It was a lot of fun catching up on the latest family gossip. We ended our evening out with a movie on my dad's big screen. I had managed to secretly decorate our room with balloons, candies, and glowsticks. It was awesome and he loved it. . . being the romantic I am. And what good is a birthday without a little corniness? I also added 22 love notes in some of the balloons, which, of course, he had to pop to read. It was great fun!!



The After Party.

MYLES!!!!


Every Sunday my family and I wait around the computer for Myles' letter. He has been gone now for almost 5 months!! It has been amazing to see how much he has changed. When he first went out, he HATED it. We all (jokingly) placed bets on when he would come home. He is a lot more positive now, and its so cool to see how much compassion he has for the people he is serving.
Here is a little part of last weeks letter:
"Well i will tell you a little bit about my week here, it has been interesting. we are working with this lady who wants to get baptized but she has to quit smoking, and not just cigarettes but Weed as well, and it is hard to teach her some times cause she told us that she hates my companion, and she said she like me cause she feels i relate to her better, i dont know how the heck i relate to her!!!! but anyway, we started the stop smoking program with her, and when people start it they have to give us all of there stuff. So when we went to take it from her, she gave us 9 bongs and a bag of weed, it was crazy, so me and my comp were walking down the street with a bunch of drugs on us until we found a dumpster to throw it in lol. Also with the program there is a list of stuff you need to buy, well she is poor so me and my companion decided to buy all the stuff for her, but my companion didnt help buy anything, so i spent my last $32 on it, but im not complaining, i will complain if she quits coming to church and doesnt get baptized though lol. we also told her that if she ever needed help with the program to just give us a call, so we got a call at 3 in the morning and so we got very little sleep that night, but she is doing well so it is all good."
I guess the $32 was worth it, She was baptized on Sat. This is their picture...



I think Myles is absolutely adorable! I am so proud of everything he has accomplished to be where he is. I, and so many others, could not be prouder!

Go Broncos!!



Greg and I have started our first semester here at BSU and are loving it already. For those who are curious, Greg is majoring in Business Law. He is working toward going to Law School... (fun for me) I am working on an International Health/Biology degree. We have both been very busy this semester and are expecting it to get busier. We are so excited to be back in Boise and to be a Bronco!! Here's to our education!

Boise!!!
We're back! We recently moved to North Boise and are loving it!!! The abundance of shopping, warm weather, a diversity in people, and family made us realize what we were missing out on in Rexburg.
We had a lot of help moving from Rexburg. It is AMAZING how much crap we have collected in just the few months we have been married! Greg's grandpa let us fill his truck and trailor with our stuff and then drove it to Boise for us. We were so greatful for his help! Greg and I followed with both our cars fully packed.

We were finally able to move into our apartment, but with out the use of Grandpa Jensen's truck it took many cars and trips to get all our stuff there.

We stopped at Craters of the Moon on the way to Blackfoot. (We were returning the hilbilly trailor.)


We have attented a couple of the hippie events that are often held in Boise. They are quite entertaining.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK






This last weekend Taylor, Janica, Bryan and Molly came up for a visit. It was very exciting, we love having visitors! On Saturday we dicided to take a trip up to Yellowstone. Taylor and Molly had never been so we stopped at all the gyesers for them to see. I had forgotten how many there are, but they are still beautiful. We finally found Old Faithful but by the time we got there we had just missed it going off and no one wanted to stick around for the next explosion. Sad, huh? All that way and we didn't even see the most famous monument of the park. Instead we headed back to the town and hit up all the shops. Overall we had a blast!

The AdDiTiOn!....

This is Bella. (Yes, from Twilight) We found her at Greg's Grandparents farm almost dead. We brought her in and nursed her back to health. Now she is our wild kitten! She has recently learned to pounce and practices on everything!!! Its adorable. She also loves to crawl up onto your shoulder and sleep.

Fourth of July Weekend





We had a blast this Fourth of July. We called off work on Thursday and headed to my favorite city, Orem. We met my family there and took off up the Provo Canyon where we set up camp in the cute little town of Midway. The camp ground was set on gorgeous hills above the town.







We watched the fireworks from our camp site while we roasted marshmellows. That day we drove down to Deer Creek Lake for a day of boating. My dad, sister and grandma came down to join us. It was so much fun to spend the weekend with my family.

Chilling out on the beach. Randomly, a huge gust of wind came and blew the top off our canopy

That Monday we met up with Bryan and Molly and spent the day at LAGOON! We really enjoyed ourselves. Our favorite ride was Wicked. For those of you who havent tried it yet... do it! It's amazing.
