1st Day of School

Today was the first day of school. I am so excited for my Math 113 class. By what I've seen I think I have a much better and fun teacher. The class is great. I have it from 8-10 every day and Brian is taking chemistry at the same time so we will be kinda busy but I am excited.

Sewing Machine

I got a sewing machine! We were at DI looking for a small table for the corner of our living room and we found this sewing machine table. It is perfect. It serves as a nice table and now I can do a little bit of sewing with it too. I mean it’s not the best sewing machine but it works and it makes a straight line. I am excited to use it sometime. I need to think of something to sew. It is also nice to have for fixing things too. I am just very excited.

Tapestry

Brian got this tapestry of Jesus with the Nephites made on his mission in Peru and we got it framed. It looks so beautiful and hangs straight. The frame has a sort of old crackly look to it so it matches very well. We hung it up in our bedroom because it was the only wall that it would fit on because it is so big. We love it so much!

Scuba Diving

We are taking a scuba diving class through Water World by the dollar theatre. We go to the class Monday and Thursday to learn for 2 hours then go to the Provo High School Pool to try it out for another 2 hours. It lasts for 3 weeks and we’ve been to the pool 3 times. This week we get to go to the crater in Midway 2 times to go deeper and get certified. We really enjoy it a lot and can’t wait to go next week. Here are a few pictures in the pool that we took with our video camera.

Brian was very excited to take video and pictures while we were underwater.

Camping

We went camping last weekend. We went to a campground in the alpine loop on the American Fork side. It was just dirt and they had rocks set up for a fire pit. It was really fun, we went up Friday evening and set up camp and made Hawaiian haystacks. They were really good. We also played dominoes and ate plenty of s’mores. We then woke up early and made pancakes, eggs, and bacon for breakfast, it was delicious.

We hiked up to Timponogos cave and went on the caving tour where we had to wear helmets with lights and do a little crawling. We enjoyed it a lot and it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. We had a very fun weekend.

New Bike

I got a new bike. I really like it. It is a Trek FX 7.2 WSD and it’s blue. I got baskets put on the back that fold in and hold our groceries when we go shopping. Last week Brian and I went to Buy Low and got some apples. Brian forgot to tie the bag closed so an apple fell out while he was riding and go stuck in the spoke of his wheel and was spinning around with the wheel. He finally noticed it when he felt cold juice on his leg. I also got a light for the front and back so we can ride in the dark. Brian and I love riding everywhere with our bikes now instead of driving and it saves a lot of gas too. I love my bike!

The Cruise

So as promised here are the pictures from our cruise.

San Francisco: Golden Gate Bridge at breakfast

Alcatraz audio tour

Victoria Canada: Butterfly and Butchart gardens

Seattle: we got off and picked up my dress from Emily (no pictures sorry) Oh and I got a bag of much needed popcorn for free because I didn't have $0.50, only a $10

Formal Night:

Ice Skating: We went Ice Skating 2 times in their ice rink, it was really fun and Brian didn't fall down for the first time. Way to go Brian!They also had and Ice show, it was like a circus but on ice with crazy dancers that could do cool tricks and spins.

Pool/Hot Tub: They had 2 pools but nobody was crazy enough to go in them but we did spend some time in the hot tubs with soft serve Ice cream. It was great.

Shuffleboard: They did have shuffleboard and we played for about an hour. On my last cruise I went on when I was little they had shuffleboard and I never played so I really wanted to this time.

Movies: They had a small theater where we went a few times to watch some movies, it was fun. Although most of the time the movies were on our TV in our room so we just watched them in there because we were too lazy.

Food: the food was so good! We liked the 24 hour buffet and the free room service on demand. The dining room had the best food and we enjoyed breakfast and lunch there but we had 8:30 dinner so half the time we didn't go because it was so late.

Bike Ride

Brian and I went on a bike ride with Mike and Shari Saturday night. We rode up the Provo canyon trail from Mike's house and then we ate our sack dinners we packed. It was really fun with them. I was a little tired because Brian and I have been riding our bikes everywhere now. That same morning we rode to the grocery store called Buy Low by the dollar store. They have cheap prices. So I am getting used to riding a bike around everywhere I go. Brian loves his new bike too, he wants to go places just so he can ride his bike. I will post a picture of my bike later. You can look it up it is the Trek FX 7.2 WSD Blue
