Pioneer Day

For pioneer day, Ilene and I decided we would head up to Flaming Gorge, which is only 40 miles from where we're living in Vernal. It was a really nice day. I'm posting some photos from our trip.

DAM!!!

The most amazing thing that happened was when we were just about to eat lunch, out of nowhere we were attacked by this Sith. Ilene and I fought him off, but he got away.

Pioneer Day at Flaming Gorge

Well, the two pictures above are of the Flaming Gorge Dam. We took the tour that led us right along the dam's top edge (top photo), and then an elevator took us right down to the river below (bottom photo).I like this photo of the bridge we crossed right before entering Flaming Gorge.You should really check out Greg's neat pics on his blog, www.gregmplatt.blogspot.com and check out the amazing photos he took (besides me! j/k)Here's me - I really thought I had a smile on my face! Instead I look irritated. I really wasn't, I swear! :) Little (but steep!) hike we took to get closer to the river.

And that's all! We left for home early so I can get back to reading Harry Potter (and because we were hot and tired!). I'm on chapter twenty of Harry Potter and Greg has finished. He's finding it hard not to discuss it with me, so I better get going on finishing it. Very exciting!

Well...I did it...

I read the entire book this weekend. Finished about 7:30 Sunday night.

Great book. Did not disappoint they way that the final book of the Series of Unfortunate events did.

I still have that burning question...

which I will save to ask later.

I've never done it before

I've never gone out on the first day or the first showing of anything and been at the "first" anything, really. But, last night, after reading scriptures, Ilene and I went to Walmart. We got there about 10 minutes after midnight, picked up a few groceries...hot dog buns, pickles, cereal...and then we marched over to the two palates of books that had been placed there and picked up our copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

When we got home, Ilene was pretty tired, so while she went to bed I started reading. As it stands, by 11:00 this morning I have read the first 10 chapters of the book. Ilene's reading now. I intend to finish it off by the end of the weekend...so none of you can ruin it for me!!!!!!!

Pregnancy, July 2007

Greg was making me laugh for this picture.

I am now around 6 months pregnant, and surprisingly getting a little excited for our boy to come!

"Dance With Me"

Greg and I are going to be celebrating our 2nd anniversary on August 2, 2007!

It feels like I've known Greg longer than that, and our time together just flies by.

For this anniversary, I decided to try and paint for Greg a copy of his favorite artist, Jack Vettriano's painting called "Dance Me to the End of Love" (I think that's the title).

I changed a few things, put me and Greg in the painting, and here it is!

I call it "Dance with Me". It took me about 2 weeks to do, and I bought the frame from Deseret Industries.

Happy 2nd Anniversary, Greg! I love you
