So Recap the last couple days...










Alright so we are getting better at this, I promise. So since returning from Hawaii, which was so hard to leave, a lot has gone on. On Friday we spent most of the day out on Corey Sistrunk's boat wakesurfing with Corey, Pike, and Lauren. We had the best wake/wave I have been on. It was so fun. Saturday, I went out on the boat again up at Deer Creek. Afterwards I headed over to Thanksgiving point to see Brittany's cousin's band, the aquabats, play. Christian got us a couple tickets to the jamboree they were playing and unfortunately Brit had to work, so Tobler joined me. When we got there, we found out they were backstage passes and we even joined the band on-stage. I was amazed at the power Christian had over the crowd. They put on an amazing show and if I could be anything in life, I would be a rockstar, everyone listens to what you say and follows you. After, The Format played and Kobe Callait did as well. I really enjoyed The Formats performance a lot. After the show, Tobler, his girlfriend Kristen Owens and I met up with Brit and went to the malt shoppe. Shakes were alright, I got Marshmallow chocolate, and was dissappointed. We did our normal sunday routine, church and dinner with our families and then I went on a bike ride. Yesterday was a great day. Started it out with skating Draper skatepark with Tim Vidmar, Tito, and Pike. Afterwards I went to an interview for a job at The Happy Sumo, and got the job. So that will be fun, since we loooove sushi. Then Brittany's cousin surprised us with such a great gift. Matt Costa and Rilo Kiley were playing with Modest Mouse and she somehow got us tickets for free. So we went to that with the Sistrunks, which was fun. Although I wasn't impressed with the McKay events center as a venue. Sound just bounced everywhere, and Modest Mouse was decent. Matt played a bunch of new songs and I can't wait for him to release them on CD. And Rilo has an amazing voice live. All in all some pretty fun days.

So its been awhile...

So, it's been a while since we last wrote... and so much has happened! So i'll try to fill you in! I came back to Utah, from Denver on Aug. 12th (by the way this is Brittany writing) and on the 13th went to California with my mom and sister's for a friend's wedding (Matt Wares and Brette Andrews), we had a great time, went to Disneyland with my cousins, spend some time at the beach and alot of time with family and friends! It was awesome! We came back to Utah on the 19th and that same day Clay drove back to Utah from Denver! I started work back at Nordstrom in Orem and Clay figured everything out for school, Finally! He'll finish up with his associates in Fire Science this semester and then start Fire Academy in January, so he's really excited! Then last friday Clay and I flew out to Hawaii with my whole family, kind a last hurrah before my little bro leaves for the mission(Tampico, Mex)! We spent a week in Oahu! We stayed on a beautiful resort in Ko'olina! We spent lots of time at the beach, of course, we snorkeled, scuba dived, hiked, surfed, we went to Pearl Harbor,we went to the laie temple, we spent alot of time on the north shore, Clay met up with his longtime friend Chris gardner, who is out there for school and surfed with him, He also went on a dive to a World War 2 ship, needless to say. we had a blast!!! Now we are finally back in Utah and ready to get back into somewhat of a normal routine!!!! And we promise to be better about updating our blog more often!! P.s. if you didn't notice i chopped like 8 inches off my hair!!! Clay's been begging me to forever, so i finally took the plunge! And we will add more pics later.
