Justin and I played the best out of 3 again last night in Skip-Bo. I WON! (It wasn't completely fair though because Sunday night we played one game and I won, so i counted that towards Monday nights tournament). So I won the tie breaker! It felt great! :-) Justin is much better at taking a loss gracefully than I do. And thank goodness for that.
Just an update on our newest adventures. I took off this Thurs & Friday (Thursday to just spend some time with my sister and help her out) but we were trying to figure out what to do with our long weekend before school starts. Last year we went to Green River WY and camped with my sister and her family. That was fun, but Justin and I are more into cities than outhouses and tents (but it was beautiful there). Anyway, we were throwing out some ideas and we decided San Francisco would be a fun place to go. It has so much culture and fun things to do and see! So I went to AAA yesterday and got our tour books and maps. I've been google'ing alot of the attractions and transportation. I feel like I know all the streets by heart but I'm sure it will be very confusing once I'm actually there. We leave this Friday morning and will get in at 10:30ish. Then we fly back out Monday afternoon. We are both very excited for this get away. So far we've only planned that we're going to do the night Alcatraz tour. Justin was most excited about going there so it will be a lot of fun!

More going-ons...
First I'd like to thank Jolee for doing her best to keep me on top of this blogging thing..
Next, I'd like to apologize first off for the fact that we still haven't posted our Las Vegas trip pictures! Not having the internet at home really makes some things hard...while on the other hand it has been kind of nice :-) But hopefully they'll make it on here sometime...
Justin and I have been married for 3 months now! That time really has passed by so fast! It's been wonderful though. I can see the difference in our marriage from when we just were married to the point of where we are now. I feel like we've grown so much closer and so much more in love with each other. This past Saturday we went on a real date! We haven't been the best at going out and really creating a planned ahead date. (well this one wasn't super planned ahead either but it was fun!) We went out to eat (first sit-down restaurant we've been to in really long time!) then we saw Iron Man at the dollar..and it was really good! We really enjoyed our evening together. We also went to the Sundance Moonlit ski lift ride Friday night. It was fun...but as soon as we got up in the air we remembered the problems that we had with the date last year when we went. It's a little scary...and Justin really doesn't like the part where the lift goes over the poles.. he would grab the bar for dear life each time..it was kinda cute and funny. He probably will deny that if you ask him about it ;-) But it was fun having so much time to be out enjoying the serene, quiet outdoors--plus we got to talk the whole time without any distractions.
Sunday we went to the field across from the Temple and found some shade and threw down a blanket. We rested and wrote in our journal then played the game Skip-Bo. I'm very close to banning this game from our house! We played best out of 3 Sunday and also last night as part of our FHE and Justin has won both times we played! It's so aggravating! I was throwing a fit last night...apparently I'm more competitive than I ever knew. Justin apologized for beating me...while he was dying laughing. He thinks its hilarious... I on the other hand don't think I can play that game anymore. :-(
I took my D&C final last Thursday. Ended up with an A- in the class! I'm glad to be done with summer classes...though it feels like I have way too much free time now on my hands. I realized yesterday that BYU starts back in 2 weeks and that made me a little sad to say the least. So I've taken next Thurs, Fri Sat and Mon (Labor Day) off work to hopefully go somewhere with Justin before school starts back!
Life is still great..we're getting to know more people in our ward and feel a little more part of the ward family. Justin is still studying for the GMAT. We're going to start working out more... cough cough, hopefully it will last longer than a couple days! Wish I had some pictures to put on here..sorry!
