Week of the 24th Festivities

I had been looking forward to the week of the 24th because it was going to be only a 4 day work week, I would be getting paid for the holiday without having to do any work, and my cousin Jake's wedding was that Saturday. It turned out to be a really good week...I got to spend it with my husband, family and friends :) We started out the week by going on a horse ride for FHE. On the 24th Clint made me a shelf for our room while I supervised, and then that night we went to a rodeo with our good friends Tyler and Tahnee. Saturday was spent participating in wedding festivities all day long!

I rode on the back of Clint's horse Lucky and have a nice line of horse sweat/hair on my bum from it!

Spanish Fork Fiesta Day's Rodeo

Every time we go to the rodeo Clint is reminded how much he misses riding bulls...and I am reminded how grateful I am that he is sitting by me and not riding those crazy bulls!

They had some Brahma Bulls that were pretty neat, but they did some cheesy skit about the Mormon pioneers since it was Pioneer Day.

Tyler and Tahnee....it was Tahnee's first rodeo! YEEHAW!

My parents at the luncheon with their matching purses! Okay...so my dad was really just holding my grandma's purse that matches my mom's...but it made for a good picture!

With our cousin Jake! If you haven't met Jake you are sure missing out!! He is a hoot :)

A fond farewell to my adorable friends!!

I thought I would take a moment to give a fond farewell to my lovely, adorable, creepy crawly, friends :) Earwigs!! They are so kind to keep me and Clint company in our house. They love to just let themselves in through our front and back door. They like to surprise me and hear me scream when I open up the dishwasher and they just drop down inside from nowhere. They even like to play hide and go seek with me behind our sugar jars on the counter. And best of all they love to hide in the wash rag or under the kitchen towel to scare me when I go to use it! They are such nice friends to have around the house....always keeping me on my toes! I must say that I enjoy their company more than spiders :) However, I now bid these new friends farewell as Clint has just sprayed around our house....

Bermuda Honeymoon!

After staying in Park City for a couple days Clint and I left for Bermuda on our Honeymoon. We flew to New York City, and spent about a half day there before we boarded our boat. It was our second time going to New York together, but last time we were there the temple wasn't built yet. Clint and I walked from the port to the Lincoln Center, where the temple is, and then just explored around part of the city before we got on our cruise that went to Bermuda for a week. We had lots of fun exploring the island! It is one of the prettiest islands in the world! It is really clean in Bermuda and there are PINK sand beaches! All in all, we had a BERMUDAFUL TIME :)

New York City Temple

Clint and I in Central Park.Sailing out of the city. We sailed past the Statue of Liberty!

Playing chess on the boat :)

Clint and I on our scooter we rented for the week.

They even have pink buses! And if you have been to Bermuda you know how scary it is to be on a scooter with the PINK buses!
Beautiful beach we had all to ourselves!!

Pink sand!

The Norwegian Dawn -- our cruise ship

Clint loves his ice cream :)

Formal Night on the boat.

We had a lot of fun climbing and exploring around all the rocks. Last time I went to Bermuda with my family the tide was different and so you couldn't walk around all of the coves like Clint and I could.

Clint climbed up the stairs that were carved into the rock in this tiny cove.

We went for a ride at night on the scooter, boy did I get a lot of looks in my red high heels!

Beautiful Bermuda sunset!

Happy One Year!!!

We made one of our favorite meals at home for dinner: Steak, shrimp and portobello mushrooms!

Clint cutting our wedding cake. We were surprised how moist it tasted for being a year old!

Clint and I celebrated our one year anniversary this past Wednesday, June 3rd. It's hard to believe we have already been married a year, but at the same time since we have been together for 7 years, it feels like we have been married for a long time now, not just a year!

This past year has been a busy one! Clint and I feel very blessed that we have already been able to share so many neat experiences together. Some highlights of this past year have been: Honeymoon to Bermuda, Clint's fishing trip to Alaska, Jessica's graduation from BYU, Mediterranean Cruise, and just spending time with friends and family.
