Tribute to my amazing husband

If you know Jace, you know he is one amazing guy. Well, Jace has been working nights as the repo man and I must say, he is one hot repo man. He demonstrated his greatness the other night. We had to make a trip out to Colorado City in search of a Yamaha Rhino and we were not at all expecting to get it.When we got to the address that we had been given we found that it was not the person we were looking for but instead an extremely nice and generous guy who happened to know where we needed to go. So, he climbed in the tow truck with us and showed us where the house was. As we pulled up to the house, low and behold, there was the Rhino. It figured that it was there and all we had was the tow truck. Fortunately, Jace's boss explained to him how to strap the Rhino to the boom on the tow truck. Anyways, after some struggles Jace figured it out and it worked wonderfully. We made it all the way back to St. George with no problems at all. As you are reading this you probably can't picture what this looks like, so I have included a photograph to document it. Anyways, Jace is amazing and I am so greatful for him and everything he does.

Us

I feel like I am always posting pictures of things and other people and so I feel i need to add some pictures of Jace and me. So here are some pictures of us from back in the day.

One of our favorite places...

Last weekend Jace, me, Nikell, and Ashton ventured up to Pine Valley to try out the Brandin' Iron steakhouse. It was awesome! It was our first time and even though it is a little pricey, it has become one of our favorite places for a nice night out. I had never been to Pine Valley before and I absolutely love it. I would love for us to have a cabin up there some day. It amazes me that we can be in St. George in 110 degree weather feeling like we are about to die, then after just a short 30 minute drive be in the mountains where the weather is beautiful. After our great dinner at the Brandin' Iron, we drove out on a dirt road and went spot-lighting. We were looking for any kind of wild life we could find and we actually saw quite a bit. There were tons of deer, even some big bucks, much to Jace's delight, and we even saw a bobcat! We couldn't believe it. We were all so excited, it made the night even more fun then it already had been. The next day, Jace took me back up to Pine Valley to see the camp ground and as we were driving through we saw a snake in the road. I couldn't believe it! It was just a little snake but it was still cool to see. Overall, it was a great weekend filled with lots of wildlife and lots of fun!

4th of July

This 4th of July was amazing! In the morning we drove up to Enterprise and had brunch with Jace's family, and then we watched the kids run in the foot races. It was fun, the kids get so excited and have so much fun racing! After Enterprise we came back to St. George and went to the Roadrunners game with Nani, Papa, Aunt Deb, Uncle Kim, and Jake. It was fun spending some time with all of them. Also, not only was it the 4th of July it was Nani's birthday! yay! After the game, we went back to Nani and Papa's house and Jace's parents, Jeff and Tonya, met us there and we all watched fireworks from there balcony because they have the most amazing view ever! Overall, it was a wonderful day and we can't wait for next year!

its been way too long....

oh my goodness, i am really sorry i've been so bad about posting lately. we got back from georgia on june 9th and life has been extra crazy since then. i will go through and try to give some updates of what we have been up to over the past month. well, our georgia trip was amazing, and it was very hard to come back and jump back into work and school. i have lots of great pictures but we havent been able to get the internet at our house for a while so i havent been able to post them from my camera, but i will keep trying. next, we got invited to go with our friend jory and his parents and some friends to lake powell! it was amazing! i had never been before and have been wanting to go for a long time! it was great! there were about 16 of us there and we stayed on their house boat at wahweap marina and took their ski boat out and went wakeboarding and tubing. it was seriously one of the best times of my life. i love lake powell! and i have vowed that i will someday have a house boat to keep there! after powell came the 4th of July. the 4th was fun. we woke up and drove up to enterprise to have brunch with jaces family and then watched the kids compete in the foot races. it was lots of fun. then we came back to st. george and went to the roadrunners baseball game with nani, papa, aunt deb, uncle kim, and jake. then we went back to nani and papas house and jeff and tonya came over and we watched the city fireworks from their deck because they have the most amazing view. overall it was a great holiday! then on july 5th we headed down to vegas because our friends joe and nyckie had a birthday party for their little girl, jadyn, who turned one year old. we had a huge water fight and got completely soaked. it was fun, i felt like a kid again. we ended up staying the night at their house and had tons of fun playing games, talking, and lots of laughing. it was great for us to spend some time with them because they are moving to oregon in a couple weeks and we arent sure when we will get to see them again! they are great friends and we will miss them tons, but we wish them the best of luck!! not much has happened this week. just been working and jace has his last two days of class for the summer and he cant wait for it to be done. i've applied and interviewed for a new job with stephen wade power sports and i am really hoping i get it because it would be the perfect job. so wish me luck! well, i dont have many pictures to go with this post but i did get my hair dyed a couple weeks ago and its quite a bit blonder so i will post a couple pictures of my new hair so everyone can see it! hope you like it! again, i will try my best to get our georgia pictures and some others posted before too long!

We LOVE Georgia!!!

Jace and I have been in Georgia now for about 10 days and it has been amazing! Georgia is seriously one of the most b-e-a-u-tiful places ever! I absolutely love all of the trees everywhere (they make some people clostrophobic, but not me, i love them), I love the beautiful weather, and I absolutely love the people in the South, their accents are so cool and they are so nice! Its been so much fun being back where I grew up, my accent has even come back slightly, YAY! haha! We have had so much fun with my family and their adorable dog Bentley! We've been to Nates high school graduation, got pedicures, spent a few days at their amazing swimming pool, jace and dad have played golf, had a scooter accident, major sunburns, blown car tires, maybe a new car for mom and even a Braves game! Anyways, so far it has been an amazing trip and I don't want it to end! We have two more days and I hope they go by really slowly. Well, I dont have anyway of hooking up my camera to this computer so pictures will have to come later when we get back to St. George. But here are a couple pictures I found on the internet, one of their neighborhood pool, the golf course, and Bentley when he was little.

Georgia on our minds!

Well, Jace and I are making the final preparations for our Georgia trip and I am so excited I can't even stand it! We are driving down to Vegas today and spending the night at our friends house then we fly out bright and early tomorrow morning. We will fly from Vegas to Fort Worth, TX where we will change planes and then fly the last leg of the trip and land safely in beautiful, wonderful, amazing Atlanta, GA! oh my goodness I am getting even more excited about it just sitting here writing about it! We will spend 12 days at my parents house! My brother Nate graduates from high school on saturday so that will be a big day! Some other plans we have are pedicures for all the girls (a couple times because they are so inexpensive there, haha), a braves game (at least one), maybe six flags, hanging out at their amazing neighborhood pool almost everyday, and maybe a short two day trip to Memphis to see the birthplace of blues and Graceland! It is going to be amazing! Everyone please pray for us that we will make it there, especially with all of the crazy things going on with the airlines lately. Anyways, I will try my best to keep updates coming as our trip goes along. Big ATL, here we come baby!!!
