Today it's Joelle's turn to blog, when we first got a blogspot I told dean he was in charge of updating it every week. But, I am sitting at work and I have no kids in my class so I thought hmm I'll just update the blog. In our last blog we were telling everyone how the leaves are starting to change but we couldn't feel fall coming in because it was still in the mid nineties here. Well this past week the temperature has dropped and we've seen some rain showers in the evenings. Which is very rare to us, rain in Utah? It was the first rain showers that I have seen since I have been here. But the rain is suppose to clear up this weekend so we can get back to our usual activities, climbing and hiking. Yesterday, we went up into Big Cottonwood Canyon and started doing a three pitch climb but by the time dean to the second pitch and I was half way up the first one, it started pouring the rain. So I lower down then dean did picking up all the gear, by the time we got to the car we were soaked. I think were going to go try again on sunday.
So, since I have got out here I have learned that I love to cook. I have always liked to bake cakes, cupcakes, and such but I never really got into cooking food unlike my grandmother and my mother. I cook dinner almost everynight, we usually set our small coffee table as our dinner table and sit on the floor, and it works for us. But, yesterday I ordered a real dinner table thanks to my grandparents and mother. I am so excited to get it set up for the arrival of my grandparents and dean's parents. And I am also excited to cook dinner for them! They will be here in about two weeks and I am soooo happy. My grandfather has never been on a plane before so I think he's a little scared of that but I am so happy for all of them to come out and visit. We plan on taking them up into the unita mountains to try to see some mooses and also to see the beautiful orange colors of the aspen trees. We also going to take them around the two canyons close to where we live. And on there last full day here Josh and Betsy will be here too! So, since there coming out mainly to climb we're going to go up with everyone to Big Cottonwood Canyon and head over to Storm Mountain. There at Storm Mountain is a bunch of pinic tables and fire pits, We are hoping that my grandparents and dean's parents will cookout for us as we climb. We miss there cooking!! Also the week before everyone comes out my friend Tyler Clendenin and his family are coming out to visit Kim's brother, I do believe. I am so excited to see all of them also! And after my grandparents and dean's parents leave Josh and Betsy are staying with us along with Nate for a few days of climbing.
After everyone visiting at the end of September and beginning of October, I will only have to wait two months til Thanksgiving which my sister is going to come out and spend time with us. Dean and I miss her very much, I think she is going to help me cook Thanksgiving dinner for Dean and Mike (new friend who's going to move in with us in October.) And only three months til Christmas and I wil be back in WV for a few days and all I am going to do is surround myself with my family, friends, and dean's family. I miss everyone very much and I think of almost everyone every single day! =)
