Our Exciting Weekend

(this is Karli..) So last weekend we decided to go on a mini vacation to Utah. Our old friend Denny just moved to Sandy (i think), by Brighton mtn to basically just snowboard and invited us to come stay. Brandon also called up 2 of his friends from his mission and asked them if we could visit too, so we ended up staying at all 3 of their houses. It was a lot of fun. The drive up was pretty.. When we finally arrived in Provo, we had planned to go straight to Provo Canyon. So Brandon drove us up the big moutain. It was about sunset so we thought it would be a perfect time. We got out of the car and started walking on a trail to find a quite spot with no people and a rock to sit on. We could see the lake, city, and he pointed out the MTC and other places. Then he said he got me a treat because I got him this bracelet a few weeks ago. I didn't think much of it. Soo we sat down and he pulled out a box of See's chocolates! He got me one of my favs.. peppermint. mmm. So anyways, I started to eat one then he said.."here's a special one for us to split". It was a little gold sees box that was inside the big one. I opened it and it was a ring! Then he shared some things with me, got down on his knee on the rock, and proposed! I heard that his grandpa proposed the same way to his grandma. :-)

The next day we spent with Stewart, who also went to Uruguay. He took us around Temple Square and then the mall. We attemped to go to the Salt Lake after to see the Buffalos but they were about to close. We ended up seeing the Bee Movie later that night.. it was funny haha. Then the next day we went to Dennys. We got some pizza and drove up the Brighton mtn to play in the snow. Its been forever since I've seen any, it was so pretty up there! It makes me sad we live in this boring state. Then we stopped at a lodge and got some cocoa because we were freeeezing. The next day we left for home. We stopped in this funny cowboyish town to get lunch and went in a thrift store. Brandon found some slacks and I got a bunch of vinatge records . They are sweet! Im playing Cafes of Paris right now.. haha :-) Well, thats all the news for now. I want to go back to the snow next month..maybe in Flag.. who's down?!
ps: I apologize for so many pictures!

bla bla bla

So.. its been awhile since we've posted anything. We are busier than ever with school and work. The semester is almost over though yesss :-) Not much is new. In a few weeks for the holiday we're going to be driving to Salt Lake City to visit a friend and a few of Brandons mission buddies. Its going to be fun and a change of weather! I've also never been to UT, so that will be cool to see all the church stuff there and I hear the moutains are pretty. We'll be sure to post some pics from that later. But until then, here's a few random ones we've taken recently.

Part of Balboa
Last week we went to Cali for a few days to enjoy the last few days of summer just before school started. We went to Balboa Park, Little Italy, Sea World, Fashion Valley Mall, the temple, and La Jolla. It was soo much fun we could have stayed twice as long! Some of our friends met us up there and stayed with us too, but we pretty did our own things. Balboa was fun..we walked around and went in the Museum of Man. There was egyptian and evolution artifacts and other stuff. In Little Italy we had a yummy Italian pizza dinner with desserts after and the BEST Iced Chocolate drink everrrrr. Sea World was quite the adventure too. Very busy and hott, but thanks to Shamu we got a lil wet :-) It was also exciting because we pet and fed the dolphins.. now only if we could have swam with them, darn! The next day we visited the Temple and took some pictures. Very beautiful! Then we were off to La Jolla my dream town! We relaxed on the beach, looked at the beautiful homes that we are going to live in some day (hehe!), ate some delish lunch and gellato, went shoppin and to a bakery. Coincidently we ran into our friends there that were staying with us who were there to scuba dive. That would be really fun to do that next time! We still have another day pass for Sea World, so if anyone is going in the next year Brandon and I are down for going again!

We just got a new camera together and we've messin around with the effects on it. It's pretty fun!......
