Abandoned by all our friends!




Basically Dan and I have been abandoned by our best friends. We really miss the Hatch's, the Hoagland's & the Syed's. The jerks...

Havasupai






Labor day weekend 2007, Dan and I met up with my brothers Rob & Brad and a big group from Utah to backpack into Havasupai in the Grand Canyon. This place is really incredible. You pack everything in about 10 miles. You'd think it's nothing but redrock and desert, but then you get there and find these incredible, amazing waterfalls to play in all day. It's such a fun time!

Lake Arrowhead Triathlon



Dan competed in his 2nd Triathlon this summer. He and a bunch of guys in the ward did the Lake Arrowhead Triathlon. His parents were in town, so we all went up the Lake Arrowhead for the weekend to cheer the boys on. He did great!

Summer 2007






Summer just flew by. We had a great time while it lasted. Here's a few pictures from this summer. We had a great time at Ventura Beach for a belated anniversary weekend. It's such a cool little town. We stayed at the Marriot right on the beach, had great seafood and watched some beautiful sunsets. The Orange County Fair was another favorite...who doesn't love the rodeo, deep fried snickers and fennel cakes!? Redondo Beach is another place we've discovered (that we wish we would've long ago!). We also found some really cool places to go hiking (it's pretty cool to be hiking in a canyon with an ocean view!)

Wicked!


Happy birthday to me!




My parents flew out for my birthday in April, which was alot of fun. Dan and my parents were in kahootz (great word, eh!?) and surprised me with tickets to see Wicked in L.A. I loved having them here! This is us in L.A. at my favorite place Diddy Reese, which is where you can get an incredible icecream sandwich....for $1.50! You can't beat it!

Go Beach!



So this is bit overdue, but in May I graduated with my Masters degree in Social Work from California State University Long Beach. Yea! So glad to be done. Here's a couple of pics. One of me and my bearded husband and one of me and some of my classmates.
