Half way to Fifty?!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CORTNEY! Saturday was Cortneys 25th birthday and we had a blast celebrating. Luckily she got let off from ski instructing so we could spend the day together. We went to breakfast with her family, spent the day skiing at park city, and then went out to eat with her family and some of her best friends for dinner. We ate at a sushi place called Tsunami and loved it...Cortney digs the sushi there. Anyway, it was such a good time...especially watching her sister Ashley bust up over our 'Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia' conversation. We also had the best waitress. She offered to refrigerate our ice cream cake while we were eating and then cut it up and brought it out on a nice platter for us when we were done...we totally rocked the disney princess icecream cake :) . Friday we were also able to celebrate a bit by going out to dinner with a group of her close pharmacy school friends. One was sweet enough to bake a cake and bring it to the dinner. We ate at Iggies and loved watching the games as we ate and celebrated. Here are some pics of all the birthday comings and goings.

Haircuts and Swimming

So the Cluffs and I have been able to establish a bit of a tradition over the years of going to get haircuts and then going swimming right after. [ Jared always claims he NEEDS to do this so he can get all that excess hair washed off his body...autism=sensory issues :) ] Anyway, we have been doing this for forever and its always a blast. In fact I have a SO many good memories from the fairmont aquatic center. Each time we're there Im reminded of different times we've been there through the years. Check it out.

Temple Open House

Here are some pics of when we went through the temple open house. I was actually able to go through a couple of times and really enjoyed each experience. The pictures are of when Derek, his girlfriend Sarah, Cortney and I went through. Sarah is investigating the church right now so it was a really cool experience to go through with her and Derek.

what else

Last weekend I was able to head up to Logan for the wedding of one of Cortney's best friends. Weddings aren't always one of my favorite things to go to but we ended up having a pretty good time up there. I hadn't been up to Logan in such a long time so it was really nice to be able to revist some of my old stomping grounds. Logan is the best. I loved my time up there with Jeff. I had so many good memories come back to me while I was showing Cortney around some of the old diggs. Logan feels like home to me sometimes...which is funny since I was only there for a year. Anyway, here are some pictures of the trip.

where have you been?

Well, after my month or so hiatus from the world of blahging I guess its about time I do a quick update of all my comings and goings. To be honest, I have actually been wanting to do an update for a while now but havent been able to since we still are without internet at the house. Oh well, I guess being late is better than never.

So whats new?

First of all, a couple of weekends ago Cortney and I were able to spend a fun weekend in park city with her family. We stayed in one of their family friend's condo right on the deer valley hill and had a blast. We skied, hot tubbed, went on the alpine coaster, and just hung out. Actually, one of the coolest things we did was we sledded down the face of deer valley from the foot of our condo to the base of the resort. It was sooooooo fun. We did it late one saturday night with Cortney's dad, her brother in law, and her nephew. We couldnt help but laugh the whole way down because it was so fun. Heres some pics.
