Happy Anniversary Babe!
One year ago I married the love of my life! I think the first year of marriage is a learning experience; we have grown a lot and look forward to many years together! I made this video for my sweetheart, we sat down and drank homemade Lime Ricky's. By all means you don't have to watch the video, I just had fun making it. I spent most of Saturday putting it together and there are a few spots I would like to fix (I had to find the pictures on 3 computers and drove to my moms to find more pics).

On the Road Again!
Derrick and I wanted to go camping... We called friends and had everything arranged.... little by little our friends were dropping off like flies and the day before we left we lost our last attending friends. So, we decided to venture in the unknown. We drove on a wim to Goblin Valley, only briefly finding directions and reading where we might camp for FREE.
Of course we took our GPS with us to Geocache. We borrowed my mom's and she has a GeoMate Jr. It is soooo much fun! We would randomly turn it on and it would tell us where the closest cache was. We were often surprrised to find them inthe middle of nowhere. We found this nice area that had bathrooms and you could camp wherever you wanted. We even found a fun Geocache up by a cool old mud/log cabin. We loved this place but decided we would move on the next day after going Goblin Valley!
That place has to be one of the funnest places. It is super unique and easy to loose the person you are with also a fun cache to be found there. We found out that an physical Geocache cannot be in a National Park but can be in a State Park. After Goblin Valley we headed to Moab and ended up on a crazy road driving amelessly for hours. We had many good laughs! We did eventually find Moab and decided to pitch our tent at the Hostle there. A little wired but a duable place. Derrick put up the tent and was convinced we didn't need to peg it down, it was hot and dry. I on the other hand didn't say anything but noticed the girl next to us peg hers down pretty well...... 30-40 mile per hour wins graced us that night! Neither one of us slept and about 5am we decided to pack up our tent and hit the road to Delecate Arch. WOW I felt like it was a breath taking moment to be there and seeing that arch alone with my sweetheart! We checked out the other arches until we felt there were too many people.
We attended church there in town and it seemed like it was stake conference with all of the visitors. CRAZY, I also found out good friends of mine and my cousin were in MOAB too. Of course all after the fact. We drove to Canyonlands National Park. The haze in the pictures is sand, and it hurt when came towards you!
After Canyonlands we decided to head North and find a somewhere to camp. We loved this bridge crossing the Colorado River!
WE camped near Dewy Bridge. We pegged our tent down good this time.... The wind was blowing so much dirt I cooked dinner in the tent... It was still gritty by the time we were done cooking. By morning we had sand piles in our tent! Crazy wind! We woke up early and packed up and drove straight home without breakfast. lol We even had the option of staying an extra night and we wanted to get away from the wind!
Of course we took our GPS with us to Geocache. We borrowed my mom's and she has a GeoMate Jr. It is soooo much fun! We would randomly turn it on and it would tell us where the closest cache was.

SILVER WOLF
Derrick and I attended Silver Wolf this past Friday and Saturday. My calling here in my ward is the Cubmaster and Derrick's is the Weblos leader. I hope I never have to leave the cubscouts! I love the boys and all the amazing things they are learning to become better men and fathers in this world! Silver Wolf is an Adult Training on how to become the ideal scout leader. I will say that I walked away with what people call the "spirit of scouting." I seriously have this burning desire to become a better person and scout leader. The boys are the reason! We had so much fun and the bunk beads we slept on were not too bad either! Before we left we wrote goals and in a year we will meet up and if we have accomplished those goals we will earn our Silver Wolf award! GREAT things to look forward to! I meet many friends that I feel I will know for a long time. Overall we learned more ways to magnify our callings in the scouting program! I hope everyone in the scouting program takes the opportunity to attend Silver Wolf. I was waiting to post once I got pictures.... I guess I'll post without them.
