Back At It...

Her wounds have healed.  The scar on her face depletes each day.  She took Uncle Mark's advice and jumped right back into track and hurdles after her hurdle accident.  She does have a new respect for them now that she knows what could happen.  Here she took a flawless hand-off from a team-mate and ran the last leg to bring her team to victory.  She has long legs and a graceful stride that improve each time she races around this track.

She recently added the Long Jump to her track activities.

Our 18th Wedding Anniversay...

We left chilly Ohio for some amazing adventures together.  We walked down memory lane in Southern Utah where it all began. 

We enjoyed some time in Cedar Canyon.

We met up with old friends and walked the campus of Southern Utah University together.  We saw our first apartment and went to restaurants we used to eat in as poor college students.  Then we headed south...

To Paris....

And Rome...

 We went to the Caribbean and New York City too, thanks to the crazy strip in Las Vegas!

We had a great time together. Our memories together outweigh the rough roads. 

When we met with our Bishop at college before we got married, he told us, "Getting married is the fun part, it's the living together afterward that's the tough part."  How true!

We smile at each other most days.  Marriage is work, but at the end of the day when you can smile and reflect with a joke or two, how rewarding!  Here's to eternity! 

Actual Signs of Spring!!!

Carley dug out her flip-flops and we dusted the cobwebs off the bikes.

The dog and I enjoyed looking at our shadows in the afternoon sunshine.



                                Our front yard is beginning to have green buds amongst all the winter brown.

The last of the snow has melted and we really do have green grass underneath.  What a breath of fresh air spring is.  I think this is my absolute favorite time of year when everything is coming to life and the sun begins to shine after too many dark and snowy days.  I am coming alive!!!!
