Y

Brian and I hiked to the Y on Saturday. We just got some new hiking boots and decided to wear them in before we go backpacking next Friday. The hike to the Y is not very long, about 1 mile but it is hard. We were tired when we got to the top. I guess we are out of shape. It was cold at the top with a little bit of snow but hot hiking on the way up. But it was so fun just going slow and stopping to look and talk. I would say it was a very peaceful day. I just took off my sunglasses in this picture and it was very bright.


P.S. This picture is of the Y, not snow.

Apple Pie

I made my first ever apple pie in my cooking class last week. We put it together in class then cooked it at home. Brian was very excited that he got to eat some pie. He loves pie. This is so delicious and we keep eating it every day because it is so good

Dishwasher

We got a dishwasher! We are so excited. It is pretty small and is like an oversize microwave. It works very well for the amount of dishes we use every day. It has a hose that hooks to the faucet and drains into the sink. We usually start it every evening and let it go while we watch TV shows, then it finishes when we go to bed. We really like having a dishwasher

Ham Radio

I got my ham radio license last Wednesday. They have the test once a month at the BYU Law Library. The test is very east, there were two 11 year old boys there and they passed. There are 500 questions that they pick 35 from. To study for it you just need to read over the 500 questions and then on the test they are exactly the same.

We have 2 handheld radios and Brian's car one. We talk with the BYU ham radio club every Thursday night at 9pm and Brian is the Net Manager which means he is the ruler of the radio for an hour and tells people when they can talk. So it is pretty fun to be able to talk on the radio and it is good for emergencies or even if we go hiking and get lost.

Snowshoeing

We went snowshoeing on Saturday. It was really fun because it has just snowed the day before. We walked on the Provo canyon river bike trail. The snow was nice and powdery. There was only a handful of runners and 1 or 2 other people snowshoeing. We got there early in the morning so the snow was great. We ended up walking total about 4 miles. It was really fun and quiet and looked peaceful with all the snow. We were careful not to walk under or near any ledges because of the avalanche warning. That is why we chose this place because it is not very close to any steep mountains and not very far up in the mountains. We both had a great time.
