Update!

(post by Marissa) I know we are in major major need of some updating. All of the pictures are on Steve's computer and he is ALWAYS on it, but I will try to steal it for a bit so we can update this boring blog we have going! So, I'll give you a quick recap of what's been going on and what is currently going on!

July 3rd to July 13th = NJ. Logan got home from his mission..We did more than our fair share of playing. The day started off with waterskiing or a bikeride on the boardwalk, then the beach or pool, some dinner, and possibly back to the boardwalk for some more fun! We played tons and had a great time!

July 14th to July 21st = MEXICO. Steve and I went to Mexico for some R&R . We had a blast. We did a bunch of excursions and sipped pina coladas by the pool..can't complain there!

July 23rd to Aug 1 = IDAH & UTAH We went to Idaho to Lava Hot Springs for my dad's family reunion. Despite the ghetto living conditions we had a great time. We floated the river, sat by the pool, jumped off the high dives, and socialized. I should say I because Steve ditched me after 1 night and went fishing in Wyoming! (I dont have pics of Idaho, but he has some Wyoming pics we can post)

Aug 2 to Aug 13 = WYOMING w/the Jensen's. We had a great time! We went fishing, camping (in a cabin so that was nice), hiking, 4-wheeling, swimming, and to Bear Lake. We also went to a Chuck Wagon dinner and listened to some good 'ole country tunes! The band was really funny and we had a great time! Steve did some more fishing, but probably still not enough to satisfy his fishing appetite. On the way home from the cabin, we almost died because of my father-in-law's dangerous driving, but I'll let that one slide only this once. Although, I may take my own car next time!!!

August 13th to August 17th = NJ ...back to NJ for the wedding. It was beautiful. I loved the dresses. I must say the dress I had to wear was much better than the dress my bridesmaids wore! It really was gorgeous and we had a blast! We danced, ate, socialized, and smiled LOTS for pictures! I'll post a link to the professional pics as well. We also have pics. Mostly they are of me because STeve thought I was getting married again!! haha...I have some pics that look like bridal shots...they are pretty funny!

CURRENTLY: Steve = prisoner to library. Except this year he studies on the 3rd floor instead of the dungeon! I am back to work counting and filing taxes..woohooo! P.S. Extended deadline is Oct 15..don't forget! We went ot hte pool a couple of times and had a Law Social. We are back in our calling at nursery. I must say I really do enjoy it and I think I will be in primary my whole life; well at least until I can look as old as the women in Young Women's!

I promise I will post some good shopping finds or interesting facts or some financial info to entertain you because I am sure a travel log is not what you wanted when you say "update this blog!" Pics to come..promise. I was just gettting so sick of the Gen Y Facts!

Busy summer! I thought the bridesmaid dresses you wore for Janelle's wedding were stunning ... they did look like wedding dresses.

Hi Marissa!
I've been wondering what you two have been up to.
It's good to hear all the fun things you've been doing.
I just read Breaking Dawn, too...
