California

Curtis had to travel to a business seminar the week of our 2 year anniversary, so he took me with him and we celebrated in California. We stayed at the most amazing resort in the middle of Palm Springs. It was a lot of fun, and a great getaway for the week. Here are some pictures of the resort that we stayed at...amazing.

Room 7112 was the lucky room we lived in for the week

The entire resort was surrounded by water... lots and lots of water. It was beautiful.

In the lobby there were lots of cages of different kinds of birds to make the whole atmosphere more fun.

This is probably my favorite picture. This bridge led out to all the swimming pools. This place was amazing, and we had a blast!

2 Whole Years!

I know this is a little bit late, but better late then never, right? Last week Curtis and I celebrated our two year anniversary. I am so lucky and so blessed to be married to such a wonderful man. He is my very best friend, he can always make me laugh, and there is no one I would rather spend my life with. I am so happy he chose me. Here's to eternity! :)

Beautiful Montana

I realize I have been an absolutely horrible blogger, and I intend to repent. Here is the beginning of that effort… So, in November, Curtis’ parents are leaving on a two year mission to El Salvador, San Salvador to supervise the building of a temple over there. Since we aren’t sure when we were going to be able to go back, we went out to visit the last week of July and stayed for just over a week. We always have so much fun there, and this trip was no exception. We did a lot of kayaking, some bike riding, sight-seeing, and of course, lots and lots of Huckleberry Ice cream eating. Here are just a few highlights to our week long trip.

All of the above pictures are of the little town Curtis grew up in called Bigfork. If you blink you'll miss it while driving through. It's so beautiful and fun. The metal bridge pictured above is a favorite. Curtis and his best friend Fletcher, used to jump off that bridge for fun...and not only just the part where you walk by...they would climb to the very very top of the metal bridge and jump. My husband is so cool! :) Below is a picture of the beloved Huckleberry ice cream. One of my very favorite parts of visiting. Fortunately this trip, we froze six gallons of it and brought it home. Wahoo!

On our way home from staying with Curtis' family, we took a slight detour to go sapphire mining. Curtis went when he was younger, but I never have, and it sounded like so much fun. So, for about 3 hours, we went and mined our own blue sapphires. We ended up leaving with about 66 total carats of sapphires, but only 7 of those carats were big enough to be cut. The experience was awesome, and I would recommend it to anyone traveling up that way.
