Too Much Fun

Sunday Funday!

Sunday we got to catch up with one of our awesome friends Andy. We hadn't seen him in yeeeeaaaars. We were both surprised to see Jacob and his wife, I still picture him as a kid on our living room floor trading Pokémon cards with my brother. We got to meet Andy's awesome wife, Danielle. We hung out, caught up, ate and tracked down some diet coke :)

Oh Monday.... holiday's are the absolute best. We slept in, rode our bikes out in the sunshine to get a lovely subway lunch, came home and watched Arrested Development to our hearts content and then decided to go out and see if we could find some deals :) I needed a sports bra and Chad needed some shorts. Thank you TJMaxx.

Then of course, we went rock climbing. It's easily Chad's favorite thing to do right now, and it's quickly turning into something I like as well :) While I may not be very good, it's still a fun sport, and hanging out in the sunshine all afternoon with my guy and my pup isn't a bad deal at all. Chad's getting really good, and I'm able to climb things without having emotional breakdowns. It's a win-win.

Well it was a win-win situation until we hiked back up to our car and accidently locked our keys inside and then discovered we had a flat tire. That's a loose-loose. It was 9pm and we were out in the desert with very little options. After a few choice words we gathered ourselves (and the pup) up and decided to just run the 3ish miles home. It wasn't that far. We'd only been rock climbing for 3 hours. We finally realized how dark it would be when we would have to run the 3 miles back, that it would all be uphill, and we still needed to somehow break into our house for the spare key.

Finally coming to our senses we realized we needed to beg someone to help. So we called a couple from church to come and rescue us. They were more than willing and we are still super grateful. We easily broke in through the kitchen window (such a secure house we have) and they drove us all the way back to our car. Chad put on our spare and we were out of there in no time.... kinda.

It was 10:30 and we were beyond exhausted from climbing and running and only having a stupid subway sandwich all day. So we ended the day with some of the only food available in the bustling town of St George at 10:30, Dominos. Along with ridiculous amounts of water and the rest of Arrested Devolvement we finished out our holiday weekend, thoroughly exhausted and happy.

Jared's here!

I hope everyone else had a great long weekend! We picked Jared up at the airport Sunday night. Yup, we drove into Vegas for the 4th weekend in a row. We will not be going to Vegas this weekend! We spent Sunday night in Vegas, we walked around and people watched, and saw the Siren show at Treasure Island. It was fabulous. I remember seeing this show when I was little and it was this great pirate battle, it is now a bunch of strippers dancing on a boat. I thought it was pretty funny. Chad was less then impressed. We were packed like sardines on the sidewalk to watch the show. It was crazy trying to make our way out of there.

"Gross" - Chad

We finally made it home at 2:30am and crashed! Monday we were up and ready to go again. Chad and Jared got up early and I finally dragged my sleepy butt out bed so we could head out to Zion's. Chad and I had been wanting to hike through the Narrows and it was finally warm enough to do it!

Sadly we did not realize how extremely packed it would be because of Memorial Day. The parking situation was crazy. We drove around for a half hour before we finally found something. Once we got into the park it was busy, but not as crazy as the parking lots made it seem. We took the shuttle all the way up to the Narrows and set out in the river. We spent the whole afternoon/evening hiking there. It was great fun! Most of the water wasn't too deep but there were a few parts that came up to our waist. It was freezing cold, especially out of the sun, but the views were awesome and we are glad that we finally were able to go on that hike.
