2 Years Later...

Two years ago today was one of the best days of my life.... it was the day I committed to spend forever with my best friend, and it was the best decision I have ever made. It's crazy how fast time flies when you're having fun. I am so excited to spend many more years with this handsome fella. He brings so much joy and happiness into my life. 

Every year on March 22, we hike Battle Creek Falls to the place Chad proposed. It has been such a fun tradition!

Battle Creek Falls and Big Springs

Since the weather is quickly turning, Chad and I have been trying to do as much stuff outside as we can. We got up early Saturday morning and took Bruno on a hike up Battle Creek Falls in Pleasant Grove Canyon. Normally we stop at the falls, but since it was such a nice morning, we decided to keep going. Because of all the rain, the trail slowly disappeared so we weren't able to go that far, but it was so fun to be up there. It's such a beautiful hike!


A couple days later we headed up Big Springs, one of our favorite hikes. It is easy for Bruno, plus with the leaves changing, it's so pretty! We took a different trail and found a perfect spot by the river to sit and relax. We ended up sitting there for about an hour talking about life, goals and all the good stuff :) I am so grateful for our little family. Life is so good!!

Strawberry Days

Last weekend we went to Strawberry Days in Pleasant Grove. We decided to be adventurous and buy some tickets to use on the rides and games. I get a little motion sick on rides, so we decided to do a more calm ride. As the ride got going faster and faster, it was obvious it was going to make us both sick, but there was no backing out now. We groaned and moaned, trying to hold in our dinner. The ride couldn't end quick enough. After 5 minutes of misery (it felt like forever) the ride finally came to a stop.

We wobbled down the ramp and collapsed on the grass, and that's where we stayed for the next 10 minutes until our stomachs calmed down. No more rides for us. We decided we would stick to the games from now on. 

Chad played the ping pong toss. It was an intense game, we really wanted to win the goldfish. With one ball left, he made it into the glass cup. We jumped for joy and gave each other high fives, definitely overreacting over a goldfish, but we were just so happy :) Once the lady handed over the tiny fish, we decided we didn't want it anymore, and pawned it over to a little kid. We enjoyed the rest of the night together under the full moon.
