November's here all ready?

Ok, ok! I'll update my blog already! According to our blog we're still in the middle of the U.S. driving back to Utah. No, it didn't take us four months to get back, I'm just really bad at posting on our blog! Sorry! So, since June we were able to go home to Spokane and live with my parents for a month! It was so much fun! Then, after a long time of searching and some nervous days, we found a great apartment in Orem. Now, Russell is working hard at school and at his job. He graduates in December! Other than that, you haven't missed much! I am still looking for a job and Russell is looking for one after he's done with school.

While we were in Spokane we...

Biked the Hiawatha Trail. It's so much fun! This trail used to be the path where trains would pass through. Now it's a beautiful bike trail. If you live in Washington or visit any time, I highly recommend doing this... It's worth it! At the very beginning of the 13 mile trail there is a tunnel that's almost two miles long! It was really dark... and FREEZING! But tons of fun and good memories. My favorite part is singing with my sister and embarrassing the boys when other bikers pass us:) Also, along the trail are really high bridges that we bike over.
And, it's beautiful! That's Washington for you;)
Also, while we were in Washington we went to the Fairchild Air Force Base Air Show. It was so cool! The planes were amazing! This is the Raptor. This plane could actually hover in the air... Have you ever seen a plane do that?! It was fun to watch.

Since we've been back in Utah we've:

Gone swinging off of chairlifts at Brighton with Russell's family and Aunt and Uncle and their kids! It's crazy fun! We got so high!!!
And this is how it works...


We've also hiked the Uintah's with Russell's family. This was fun. It's kinda pathetic, but it was my very first time hiking! It was a new experience and I had a great time!
Russell and me before the hike:)


This is Annie and Steve... Annie loves that hat and she insisted on wearing it the whole time!
We had a great summer! It was so much fun to spend time with our families... I'm sure more posts will come... Maybe in four months, but they'll come;)

Oh wow! I can't believe you wrote on your blog. You don't know how close I was to just never checking it again. Not that I don't love that picture of Russell cooking. Man, I wish I could get Micah to cook. We will be in Utah in Dec. We'll let you know when so we can come see you.

I am so proud of you I have tears in my eyes! See, that wasn't too painful now was it! I loved the pic's! Now keep it going! Besides you forgot to mention the week that you spent at the lake with the coolest family in the world...the Hartleys! Love ya and I will keep checking up on you now that there is a prayer that you will actually update your blog!

I would like some clarification on the bike picture? Was that Eric in the bike shorts and cool skin tight top or was that Lance Armstrong? It was surely a professional cyclist.
