Christine's Wedding

Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend the beautiful wedding ceremony of one of my best college roommies. Christine is beautiful inside and out, so I have always wanted her to find someone as wonderful as she is.

We first got to meet Joey when David and I took time off for Christmas. Driving through Provo on our way back to Seattle, we stopped to have lunch with them. The moment I knew Joey could be the right one for Christine was when I saw them disagree together. They were telling the story of how they met, and they each felt portions of the story were a bit different. Christine has strong opinions she loves to confidently share so I believe she really needs someone who won't just be pushed around. Joey was firm, holding his ground, without being disrespectful or rude in any way. While discussing their differing opinions, Joey said, "No, that's not how it happened, I'm not giving you this one." and I felt Christine had finally found her match. Yep, I thought, this one's a keeper.

I was so excited for her when I got a text with this picture:

I owe a lot to Christine because she was my confidant who encouraged me to keep dating David. The first time she met David, Christine saw what a good match we could be. She told me she really liked this one because he was so sweet, and she wanted someone for me that was as sweet as me and would be sweet back. Christine encouraged me to keep dating David when I would get nervous. I thought it was weird we were both the same major and I didn't want to be one of those girls, so I told Christine I was thinking about breaking up with him and Christine told me that was a stupid reason to break up. She was right.

Here are pictures we took at the wedding:

They've thrown around the thought that maybe when he graduates and they start their careers they could end up in Seattle. We really hope they do.

Family Reunion to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State

Our family had a reunion in Washington state this past week! Our family took the big drive to Washington from Utah. We got to stay at a neighbor's home and do a few fun activities on the Eastside before heading over to the Olympic Peninsula for the reunion: Museum of Flight Raspberry Picking Hiking around Evan's Creek Preserve Ferry Ride to Bainbridge Island Visiting the Bainbridge Island Troll Here are the Olympic Peninsula attractions we got to experience: Hoh Rainforest Tree of Life Ruby beach Olympic Game Farm zoo Hurricane Ridge It was great, here are more photos from our trip:

Outside and enjoying the sunshine

Our family recently crossed the 1 year in Utah mark. We've really enjoyed exploring the area and being outside. We love going on the Murdock trail near our home. Recently our oldest, Neil, went on his longest bike ride ever (a 20 mile trip!) and rode from where we live in Highland down to the Lindon temple (and back home). The boys love biking and scootering and visiting the various parks nearby. We've been really happy with our ebike (a radwagon) and this past summer added a couple escooters (secondhand segway ninebots). Hope you've had a great summer.

Camping Adventure at Penrose Point State Park

This past weekend Mr. D and I went camping at Penrose Point State Park with a family we have been friends with for almost three years! We decided to carpool there together with our camping gear and all seven of us in their van. After we got there, we made hotdogs for dinner, s’mores and cobbler for dessert, and enjoyed spending time together in front of the campfire. The following morning we walked over to the water and had fun discovering crabs in the rocks. Here are some of the photos from the trip: Checking out an alive sand dollar Looking for crabs on the water Crazy tree and roots This was the website we used to book the reservation: https://washington.goingtocamp.com/PenrosePointStatePark -Mr. D and Mrs. M
