Sun Valley

Life has been very crazy since we got back to Utah. We've started work, school, and have been trying to move all our stuff into the house we will be living in. (Thanks to Matt's family, we got a great deal. We're taking care of his Grandma's house while she lives with his parents.) The day after we got home we enjoyed a wonderful trip to Sun Valley with my family. We had a blast swimming, golfing, seeing House Bunny (the movie), biking around, paddle boating, shooting guns, horseback riding, walking around town, having a game night of Life Stories, journeying to find craters of the moon, and just relaxing. Enjoy the pictures!

Sun Valley was a blast!!! It was really fun to see family again when we got back. Thanks Rolfe and Pat!!!

Bye Bye Boston

We are SO sad to be leaving Boston tomorrow. This has been the funnest couple months and a great way to spend the first months of marriage. We have been able to see so many beautiful things and have loved begin able to hang out with good friends while we were here.

Our cute apartment complex, Windsor Village.

The absolutely fabulous view outside our front window. I was able to look out at a pond everyday and see the sunset.

We have been able to be in Boston enough to really know our way around and feel like we've seen everything. We've also been able to go to other neat places around Boston.

Newport, Rhode Island

Portland, Maine

New York

In Boston we've enjoyed...

many parts of downtown, such as Harvard, Little Italy, Newbury Street, Quincy Market, The Museum of Fine Arts, Beacon Hill, The Public Garden, and much much more. We've also loved...

Having the temple about five minutes away from us. It is beautiful!!

Kayaking along the Charles River with the Killpack's....

Girl outings...

Hanging out with friends...

And more friends.

Finding cute stores named after our nieces....and learning each other's quirky habits as I'm sure all newlyweds do like...

Every time Matt goes to the bathroom he folds the tolietpaper into a triangle at the end because he thinks it makes it look nicer.

And my new plate obsession. I don't think he understands it, but he's very nice about plate searching. (So far)

The only thing that is making the long plane ride home sound bearable is that I finally got Breaking Dawn!! I'm super excited to start it.

Boston has been a dream!!! We have loved being here for two months. We are excited and anxious to see family and friends and to get real life started, but have loved this summer vacation!!

The Family Visit

This week my Mom and Maddie came to Boston to visit. Matt's finished working so we all had fun exploring Boston together. We saw everything! Beacon Hill, Quincy Market, Little Italy, Newbury Street, and Harvard. We also took them to Newport, Rhode Island because I knew they'd love it there!

Matt and I have become friends with some of the missionaries here in Boston. We made him call them to try and find out where Mitt Romney's house was. They were very helpful and not only gave us the general location of his house but his exact address. I was really scared taking a picture because we thought security guards might come out and hand cuff me, but I braved it out. His house is GORGEOUS!! It was really fun to see and in a fabulous neighborhood.











A couple weeks ago Matt and I were getting ready for bed in the bathroom and he informed me that I'm starting to get gray hair. I didn't believe him and thought he was just trying to tease me, but when I looked I really do have the beginning stages of gray forming. You can only imagine how upset I was at this because I'm only twenty years old. At this rate, I'll be fully gray by twenty five. DISASTROUS!! Matt offered to pluck all the gray hairs out for me...but I have really thin hair and can't spare any, even if they are gray. I'm really stressed about it. Anyways, when Pat and Maddie got here I thought they would assure me that they weren't really gray...but when they looked at my head all Pat had to say was, "Well your aunt Nan went gray really early." After this moment, I wanted to take immediate action to cover my gray. Pat had a bad experience at the hair salon a couple days before getting here, and her streaks were looking a bit ugly. We decided to fix our situations with a store bought hair highlighting kit. (La Petite Frost)

It was really fun to have family here!!

NEW YORK!!!

This weekend we went a visited the wonderful New York!! It was so much fun. I've been waiting to go ever since we got to Boston. We went with our good friends the Killpack's. Matt and Devin had never been to New York and were broken in quickly. The first things they experienced were Matt struggling to get his metro card to work and when it finally did almost falling over when the subway started and accidentally decking this woman in the face in the process, followed by seeing a bum with his pants down pooping on the side of the road and wiping with newspaper. We took a bus that left Boston at 2:00 AM and arrived in New York at 5:30 AM.

We had SO much fun in New York this weekend. In a total of 30 and 1/2 hours we saw everything we wanted to and ate everything we desired. The Killpack's were fabulous traveling partners!!!
