Stuart Falls Hike...the pictures.

So about a week and a half ago I had a post about Kyle and I and our friends, Forrest and Melissa, going on a hike to Stuart Falls. I told you that I would post pictures as soon as we got internet. Well, we've got internet now, so here you go! Enjoy!! :)


Before we started on our journey..

And here we go!! Off to the falls..

On our journey, we hit a lot of open areas where you could see the valley and mountains that were around us. It was so pretty...so obviously, I had to take pictures as we went..


We made it! Well, pretty much...we could see the falls, they were just down that hill..But, I wanted to stop and take pictures of the group with that beautiful background :)


Stuart Falls!

The guys were wondering if there was a pool of water up there, so they decided to climb and investigate..



They wanted to go further up, so we took the challenge and made our way around this part of the mountain...it was very scary for me, more so than I was expecting...but so glad I did it! It was very adventurous! Plus, I fought one of my greatest fears, which is heights, and did it...which I feel very proud that I did :) Kyle was too.

Where the adventure lead us..


We couldn't leave without a family picture! :)

The End! I hope you enjoyed! If you want to see more pictures, I will have them posted on my facebook page.

Our New Home

This is our new home! It is a 3 bedroom complex with a washer and dryer hookup. We absolutely love our home!! I will post pictures with it furnished later...











YUMMINESS!


My friend, Ali, posted on her blog about these cookies and how they are now in stores. When I saw her post I freaked and went and got these at Walmart as soon as I could. These cookies are the best! I always looked forward to these when my mom would order them through the girl scouts. They are soooo YUMMY!!! I definitely recommend them.

Haunted..or just plain ol' creepy..

We came across this rundown place when we were putting up yard signs one night. It was creepy because it had a couple of doors wide open and it was just pitch black inside...I was definitely creeped out.

Arizona Weather

These are just pictures that I took from a couple different days from our last days in Arizona before moving up to Utah...Hope you enjoy.

Construction.

I absolutely hate construction. And it seems like Utah always has construction going on.
Since we got here they have been doing construction on State street, which is right where our house is. Although, it will be really nice when it is all done (who knows when that will be though..), but it's just annoying.
BUT! This last Friday they decided to close the road down from about a mile-ish down south from our road to the McDonald's which is just south from that. This was an extra pain for us because our friends live down past the McDonald's. So, instead of it being a 3-5 minute drive (5 minutes, stretching it a little), it was a 10 minute drive, sometimes even longer. We had to make this drive a few times this past weekend...it got old really fast (say, like the first time we did it..). But, last night, when we were driving home from one of our friends house [that was south of the McDonalds], the road was open and it was only a few minute drive instead of the 10 minute drive!! And we were so happy! Especially me. I was very relieved that it was only a weekend thing (which we hoped and pretty much figured). So, now I am not so annoyed with the construction anymore because I realize...
it can be worse.

Hiking Trip

Today Kyle and I and Forrest and Melissa went hiking up to Stuart Falls (I believe that is the name of it). We started the hike at about 4:30 ish (possibly 5pm) and got done at about 7:30pm. It was a blast, and such a great work out! I know I definitely needed it. The hike is about an hour and a half there and back. But once we got to the falls we hung around, took pictures, and hiked around and up the falls. It was so pretty up there! It was later in the day, so the sun wasn't shining over on that side of the mountain, so it made it pretty cold for us..pretty much for the whole time we were there and all the way home. I took a lot of pictures, but I am not able to post them now because of the stupid internet, but I do hope to post them when I am able to. When I do post them I hope to have more info about the awesome adventure....for, it was adventurous! Anyway, on the way back we all stopped at J-Doggs for some oh so delicious hot dogs for din din and brought them back to our house to eat. Now we will be watching Star Trek (the 2009 version) while eating yummy popcorn :) For now...tootles!

Stupid internet.

Sooo....the internet is being lame. It's not working really well. And it won't let me upload my pictures. So...you will just have to wait another week until we get comcast. Sorry :(
But! You can check out my other blog (ctr89.blogspot.com) to see what I have been posting!
Hope life is awesome :)
