This is our blog so everyone can stay updated on life here in Utah. We have been having lots of fun out here. We try to go climbing a couple times a week if we can, which is also what has been taking us all across the state. We have traveled up into the Uinta Mountains, which reach up to 13,000 ft. This is where we got our sighting of a mamma moose and its baby feeding out of one of the mountain lakes. We also took a trip down to Moab to do a little climbing and some sightseeing. We had a much better experience then my brother and his wife. We got to see some old indian writings, and dinosaur tracks. We did most of our sigtseeing in the Arches National Park with huge sandstone walls and lots of natural arches. However, most of our climbing is done within 30 minutes of our apartment either in Big Cottonwood Canyon, Little Cottonwood Canyon, or American Fork Canyon.

So I have been making my money from working valet at one of the hospitals, and Joelle got a job teaching kids gymnastics at Black Diamond Gymnastics in Park City. She is really loving her job, and is starting her online classes at the Community College. I am lucky enough to have her cook me dinner almost every night when I get home from work. She is actually a really good cook, I mean how could she not be after growing up around her family. Our apartment is starting to feel a little more homey with the elephant ears plant on the porch, that were trying not to kill, and the homemade art on the walls. Our refrigerator is filled with pictures, notes, and cards from all the cousins, nieces, and nephews.

We are getting really excited about all the vistors we will be having at the end of September and beginning of October. We are really missing everyone and can't wait to make the trip back for Christmas to get to see everyone. We will be trying to keep the blog updated so everyone can know a little more about our lives out here.
