Backpacking the Uintas - Duck Lake

A few weeks ago (well like 4-5) Matt and I and 2 of our friends Tyler and Sara decided to go backpacking up the Uintas before it got too cold.. We ended up hiking for about 2 1/2 hours in the dark to get to a good campsite and the hike was so worth it! In the morning we woke up to a beautiful sunrise and the complete silence of the wilderness. It was amazing! Matt and I decided to to take some pictures while we could with the sun rise and clear glass lake. There are some of him fly fishing and some other shots of us goofing around! And this first picture of us is one of my favorites!

This picture is another of my favorites, they turned out so great, I loved this camping trip!!

These are our good friends Tyler and Sara who we had so much fun eating starbursts, gummy bears and playing Shangai! A version of Phase 10 that is so fun!! We stayed up till 1-2 and just had an amazing time together. And all four of us cramped into a 3 man tent because it was pretty cold outside and it made it more FUN! haha

Barnum & Bailey Do it Again!

Matt and I took his two nephews, Jonathan and Caleb, to the circus last month (yes it has taken me this long to post pictures haha) and it was such a fun night! These two boys had never gone to the circus, or gone somewhere without their parents. It was so fun to take them and see how fun it was for them to get hopped up on cotton candy!
Even though at the end with about a half our left Caleb kept turning to me and asking when we were going home because it was "dark and past bedtime!" when we got home they couldn't stop talking about it with their parents. It was such a great night, I am so glad we had the chance to take them!

I loved this picture of Matt and Caleb.. He is an amazing Uncle.. And one day may inherit 18 more (19 in APRIL!!!!!)

We loved taking these boys!! It was a fun night for the four of us!

5 Months and Love is all I have to say...

So this morning I had this overwhelming feeling to just start writing, and it was liberating! Everything that soars through my head constantly just flew into words on my computer. It was me putting my heart out on the line for this one person that has come to mean the world to me and I dont think I realized just how much until I just wrote without thinking and then went back and read it.. So I thought I would post just a small part of it to express how I feel about this person that I have the blessing of being with for as long as humanly possible....

"I love you so much and I know we say it every day multiple times but I don’t have a way to express how much I feel for you, how much I have let myself go to love you fully and the way you deserve. I can’t tell you what you have come to mean to me in just the last 5 months. You are someone I thought only existed in my prayers, a best friend I can count on. You are an angel for me, you are what God has been trying to tell me I am looking for. That is what you are to me, you are the biggest blessing that I have had the opportunity to receive, and you have no idea what that means to me with a past like mine. Matthew Scott Robison, you are truly amazing and someone that makes me exactly who I have wanted to be my whole life. Someone full of confidence and the ability to try new things without fear of failure. You make me think of life in such a different light, in a way that makes me grateful to be here. To smile every day just thinking of you is all I need. I love you, I love everything about you and I would have never thought I would find someone to fit me so well."

Sappy? Maybe. True? So much so it still scares me! And only after 5 months to feel this way, how would it be in 5 years? Or 25? Love is truly an amazing emotion, I will never take it for granted.

I cant believe it has been over a month since I blogged last! Time flies faster than ever lately. The complete truth is I have not had time other than being at work to blog (and I dont have pictures at work.. Not good enough haha), I am never home and when I am it is usually to sleep! So one day I will post the pictures from the circus, from camping at Duck Lake in the Uintahs, and most of all the AWESOME Hammer Halloween party where I must say I am so sad we missed the scavenger hunt but we made it for pictures and the after party so it was awesome!! So stay tuned, one day I will find time to sit down and upload pictures and stories!!

Bonfire with Friends

Friday night Matt and I went up the canyon with one of his best friends James and his cute wife Sarah. We have so much fun with these two, it is great to have so much fun with friends, and Matt finally got up into the mountains! He has been busy with school, work and family stuff that we have not had any time to go up the mountains (if you don't know, Matt would live in the mountains if he could. He loves the mountains as much as I love movies!) Here are a few pictures from the fun night, although I didn't get any of the "intense" game of Phase 10 we played.... Intense I tell you.. Well as intense as you can get with Phase 10 lets be honest!
ENJOY!
