2 year anniversary and Jimmys 25th Bday!!

August is always a busy month. We had our 2 year anniversary on the 7th!! and Jimmy turned the big 25 on the 9th!! So we always get to celebrate close together. We decided to keep it low key this year, We headed down south. We got a wonderful couples massage, played at the pool, ate yummy sushi and hibachi, and shopped till we dropped on our anniversary!! We had a big pool party at our good friends house back in St.George for Jimmy's bday. I love him so much, and i cant wait for all the years to come!! Now, for August. Ashley is finishing up school and working full time starting the 24th of this month...BLA BLA BLA. Jimmy will be traveling A LOT starting in October back to Iowa for a big job. SAD :( Good thing I will be super busy, because i cant stand being a part from him. Well Here's to another great year!!

ANACORTES-SAN JUAN ISLANDS 2009

Jimmy and I went to Anacortes / San Juan Islands / Seattle...for a quick visit to see the Orca whales. We both have done our fair share of whale watching, but neither or us have seen the Orca whales in the wild...WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. The scenery is BEAUTIFUL!! And the whales were breath taking! We took the ferry back and forth to the islands and stayed in the little historic town of Friday Harbor and Anacortes! We stopped in Seattle at Pikes Market to bring us back some FRESH seafood!! What a great time!!

The Lighthouse!


The Baby Orca-Breeching...all they did was play!

Memorial & Some Randoms!

Memorial weekend we did a lot of Razor Ride'n! Of course we encountered Cache Valley weather...Hot-Rain-Hot-Hail-Hot-Cold-We were covered in Mud at the end of both our separate day rides! But thats what makes it so fun. We also took a nice adventure to and through the Cache National Forest!!
This past weekend we got the boat out of storage-serviced-cleaned and took her out for a nice cruise!-SO RELAXING!
Jimmy is currently doing a couple jobs in Idaho right now so he is gone most of the week... :( Good thing I stay busy with work!
I cant believe May is already over-I hate how the summer months fly by and the dreaded winter ones last for ages. Im excited to go back to school to finish up this Fall-Gets us one step closer to St.George!! Jimmy and I have found all new sorts of things to do outdoors together-we are gna try mountain bike'n next...(We will see how that one goes)I thought it might do us some good-since everything else we do is motorized! :) I cant wait for all the fun in the sun-vacations-friends-bbq's-camping-and outdoor activites!!

Ashley!
