In with the NEW<div style="text-align: center;">Its time we say goodbye to this blog.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Somehow when I started this blog years ago (before I had my own gmail account) my mom's gmail got linked to it and its created much confusion. I've tried switching the email to my own so many times but it just won't work. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm finally breaking down and starting a new blog and saying bye to carryingcathy forever.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I also found out that the song "Carrying Cathy" by Ben Folds is about how his girlfriend in high school named Cathy got pregnant and had an abortion.</div><div style="text-align: center;">But thats besides the point.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The point is that you need to come see me at my new blog</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Its a work in progress and I'm not sure how I feel about the name yet but it will make my life just a little easier. And who doesn't want that.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I could say it will make me blog more but that will probably be a lie.</div>Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13351200482604190798noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28166247.post-87220576947137806762010-10-24T20:40:00.000-07:002010-10-24T20:40:15.920-07:00I'm Back!<div style="text-align: center;">So I'm not so good at this whole blogging thing but maybe I'll try and be better.</div><div style="text-align: center;">A lot has happened with us this past month.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">1. We bought a house! (pics and post to come)</div><div style="text-align: center;">2. We just had our 2nd anniversary.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm sure more stuff has gone on but those two things are definitely the biggest.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For our anniversary we went camping for two days and drove down to see the Gila Valley Temple. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/TMT68L5nL1I/AAAAAAAAApQ/7IJgycS8CB4/s1600/015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/TMT68L5nL1I/AAAAAAAAApQ/7IJgycS8CB4/s320/015.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">It was so nice to have the weekend to relax and not have to worry about things that need fixing in the house (or doing homework in Ben's case). We just got to hang out together and have fun. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/TMT6qet9OyI/AAAAAAAAApM/q1Qy3oEmEz8/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/TMT6qet9OyI/AAAAAAAAApM/q1Qy3oEmEz8/s320/006.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We also saw this ginormous grasshopper... seriously the size of my hand</td></tr>
</tbody></table><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Ever since we've been married (and pretty much the whole time we were dating) Ben has had jobs where he works on Saturdays. This semester we worked it out so that Ben could quit his job and focus on school... all 19 credits of it. We LOVE getting to see each other on Saturdays even if we're shoveling dirt in the back yard or making the latest trip to Home Depot. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm making it a goal to start blogging more. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Maybe like once a week... we'll see though.</div>Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13351200482604190798noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28166247.post-83635194705450950912010-09-05T23:35:00.000-07:002010-09-05T23:35:28.614-07:00Tiffany Haynes Photography<div style="text-align: center;">My good friend Tiffany is hosting a giveaway on her <a href="http://tiffanyhaynesphotography.blogspot.com/">photography blog</a>. She is very talented and I always get jealous of how good her pictures turn out (I secretly wish she would have shot my wedding).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I would tell you to enter too but that would leave less chances for me to win.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Check her out</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://tiffanyhaynesphotography.blogspot.com/">Tiffany Haynes Photography</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I would display one of her pictures but there are too many to choose from.... plus I don't really have permission to do that.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Look for yourself... just don't enter the giveaway.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I want to win so bad.</div>Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13351200482604190798noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28166247.post-90232166540688584482010-08-19T14:09:00.000-07:002010-08-19T14:12:08.381-07:00Surprise Vegas<div style="text-align: center;">This week for work I had to be in Kingman, AZ for 2 days.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Traveling overnight is something I really dislike about my job.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Luckily I have an awesome husband who drove up to stay with me the second night I was there (shhhh... top secret). When Ben got there at around 4pm he said "Let's go to Vegas"... so we did.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/TG2cFEylywI/AAAAAAAAAo0/qKPlfy5t9mc/s1600/Kingman+039.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/TG2cFEylywI/AAAAAAAAAo0/qKPlfy5t9mc/s320/Kingman+039.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">First we stopped at the Hoover Dam<br />
to see the construction of the new bridge</div><div style="text-align: center;">which is awesome by the way.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We got onto the Vegas strip right around sundown<br />
so all the lights were just coming on.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We drove down most of the strip to see everything before we parked since we knew it wouldn't be a long visit. </div><div style="text-align: center;">We ate at a nice restaurant and ordered the cheapest things on the menu.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then we went and watched the fountains at the Bellagio<br />
before heading back Kingman.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/TG2cKGdViBI/AAAAAAAAAo8/CGj2usbJESw/s1600/Kingman+045.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/TG2cKGdViBI/AAAAAAAAAo8/CGj2usbJESw/s320/Kingman+045.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was a fun little trip. We both decided though that if we ever go to Vegas again we'd much rather be there during the day. There are too many people that like to drink too much alcohol there at night.</div>Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13351200482604190798noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28166247.post-51379026117553159342010-08-07T19:24:00.000-07:002010-08-07T19:24:53.289-07:00Undercover Karaoke<div style="text-align: center;">I'm not usually one to post videos I like on to my blog but I thought this was really funny. </div><div><div style="text-align: center;">Now all I want to do is listen to Jewel songs.</div><div><object height="295" style="background-image: url(http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/rmv1VhrtYRo/hqdefault.jpg);" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rmv1VhrtYRo&hl=en_US&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rmv1VhrtYRo&hl=en_US&fs=1" width="480" height="295" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div></div>Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13351200482604190798noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28166247.post-42007240303506711532010-07-31T11:37:00.000-07:002010-07-31T11:37:39.792-07:00New England--- Highlight #5 and #6<div style="text-align: center;">#5--- the FOOD</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/TFRoOz6NG-I/AAAAAAAAAns/K3RRnXja4ng/s1600/New+Hampshire+131.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/TFRoOz6NG-I/AAAAAAAAAns/K3RRnXja4ng/s320/New+Hampshire+131.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks to <a href="http://elephantabbie.blogspot.com/">Abbie</a> and Jake for letting us come on one of their dates to eat LOBSTER. </div><div style="text-align: center;">And then we went out for ice cream.</div><div style="text-align: center;">New England knows its ice cream.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had the black raspberry oreo... mmmmmm</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This was probably our favorite highlight<br />
of our trip here to New Hampshire.<br />
And we couldn't have done it without a little help ($) from Grandad.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">(big thanks Grandad)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/TFLavENdUuI/AAAAAAAAAnM/YC2PZ-KSa-8/s1600/New+Hampshire+3+035.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/TFLavENdUuI/AAAAAAAAAnM/YC2PZ-KSa-8/s400/New+Hampshire+3+035.JPG" width="400" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/TFLbeXNGDOI/AAAAAAAAAnc/GvweSi89GcM/s1600/New+Hampshire+3+051.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/TFLbeXNGDOI/AAAAAAAAAnc/GvweSi89GcM/s400/New+Hampshire+3+051.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I totally psyched myself out on the way up to this place which I do any time I convince myself to do crazy things. I was all nervous and a bit sweaty... although I'm pretty sure the sweaty part had a lot to do with the 97% humidity that day. Either way, we had such a blast and this is something I would love to do again. After the first jump I realized it was less scary and more awesome. The longest zip line lasted over a minute and we were so high above the trees that you could see all the beauty that is New Hampshire. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
I have been told a few different times that I look like different celebrities each of which seems weird to me. Twice in college I was told that I look like Avril Lavigne and both times the person asked if I got that "all the time" like it was a compliment to look like a slutty singer.<br />

The doors are old and sometimes the locks are hard to turn with the old keys we have.<br />
<br />
So in efforts to make our lives a bit easier Ben and I decided that when we leave the house we would lock the handle, shut the door and then lock the top one with our keys.<br />
<br />
One day we locked the handle, shut the door and then realized neither of us had our keys.<br />
We were locked out of our own house.<br />
Very embarrassed, we called our landlord to come rescue us.<br />
<br />
Now every time we leave the house I make sure to ask Ben if he has his keys.<br />
Most of the time he closes the door and pretends he doesn't have them.<br />
Then one time (again) he really didn't have his keys... and neither did I.<br />
<br />
We were embarrassed again.<br />
But this time we remembered that one of our windows wasn't locked.<br />
So Ben (in his church clothes) pried off the window screen, slid open the window, and jumped through the blinds to let me in.<br />
The whole time I was on the look out for others in our ward to be walking home so I could just act casual like taking the screen off our windows was something we did all the time.<br />
<br />
It was then that I realized that we don't learn from our mistakes.<br />
So I changed that (in a way) and put the key to the back door of our apartment on with the spare key to my car and took it over to my parents house.<br />
<br />
Since then, I have (by myself) locked myself out of my house two more times... most recently on Tuesday<br />
Each time one of my parents has so graciously brought me the key to my back door.<br />
And each time I tell them to wait for me so I can give the key back because lets face it... it will probably happen again.<br />
<br />
This also worked the time I locked my keys in my car at my old jobSusanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13351200482604190798noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28166247.post-59384400439419416712010-05-06T11:25:00.000-07:002010-05-06T11:25:29.426-07:00Things I've Learned...While sitting at a desk on the 3rd floor of an office building in Phoenix in front of a window.<br />
<br />
1. Planes fly into Sky Harbor two by two<br />
2. Rarely is the roof to Chase Field closed (D-backs)<br />
3. I'm easily distracted by birds<br />
4. And I now have an odd appreciation for palm trees. How do they stay standing with their skinny, ridiculously tall trunks and top heavy fanned out leaves?<br />
<br />
Normally I'm out of the office a few times a week but this month I will be sitting here at my desk EVERY SINGLE DAY. So please, for my sanity, update your blogs on a more regular basis so that I have something to read when I need a break from writing reports. If anyone has any blogs they recommend I am totally open to blog stalking people I don't know.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">And for your viewing pleasure. Meet baby Elliot. </div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Last week Ben turned 25 years old</div><div style="text-align: center;">That's 5 times older than when he wore cowboy boots and shorts to kindergarden</div><div style="text-align: center;">He's a quarter of the way to being 100 and</div><div style="text-align: center;">he's now closer to 30 than he is to 20.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">To celebrate we went out to dinner at a Venesuelan place called</div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>My Arepa</em>, which we highly recommend</div><div style="text-align: center;">and then met up with Brittany and Brady for an Improv Comedy show</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The next day we packed ourselves up and headed off to go hiking and camping</div><div style="text-align: center;">On the hike we got to have our last snowball fight of the season</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/S6arjpZ8vqI/AAAAAAAAAhs/jTRuFRRpQqA/s1600-h/March+2010+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/S6arjpZ8vqI/AAAAAAAAAhs/jTRuFRRpQqA/s200/March+2010+005.JPG" vt="true" width="200" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/S6ar8hGmflI/AAAAAAAAAh0/FlamNX4AaFk/s1600-h/March+2010+010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/S6ar8hGmflI/AAAAAAAAAh0/FlamNX4AaFk/s200/March+2010+010.JPG" vt="true" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hiking was a lot of fun but we didn't plan for enough time. It wasn't too long of a hike but we couldn't finish because the sun was starting to go down and we still needed to set up camp.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We plan on making time for this one again</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/S6asOfPJyCI/AAAAAAAAAh8/BePBlR8d7lU/s1600-h/March+2010+019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/S6asOfPJyCI/AAAAAAAAAh8/BePBlR8d7lU/s320/March+2010+019.JPG" vt="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On our way to the campsite we saw a bunch of wild turkeys</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/S6asY_vm9JI/AAAAAAAAAiE/nxjaoe51vyY/s1600-h/March+2010+038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/S6asY_vm9JI/AAAAAAAAAiE/nxjaoe51vyY/s320/March+2010+038.JPG" vt="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We forgot to bring the converter pump for the air mattress</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> so we slept on the cold, hard ground </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">inside the cold, small tent... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It was cold... real cold</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Besides our sleeping arrangements it was a fun trip. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We were the only ones on our hike and the only ones at the campsite.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

New Job<div style="text-align: center;">Steak anyone?<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think <a href="http://robandtiffanyhaynes.blogspot.com/">Tiffany</a> started a great tradition. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">When you get a new job<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">you should celebrate with steak.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So we did.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I just got hired to work with a new company <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">and start on Jan. 6th<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's going to be bitter sweet<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love my job now and those I work with<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Its been my second home for the past <span style="font-size: large;">5</span> <span style="font-size: x-small;">1/2</span> years<br />
Its going to be hard to leave<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">and I'll probably cry<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But with a new job comes better pay<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">much better<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And that will be sweet<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Wish me luck!<br />

</div>Dear Melissa and Sam,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Thank you for selling me this wonderful bike just 4 years ago for the generous price of only $10. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have loved this bike and used it often. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It got me through that time when my car died and I rode it to work for a few weeks in the cold winter. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I rode that bike to friend's houses and on plenty of casual rides through the neighborhoods. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My first kiss with Ben when we were dating was after a ride on this bike you sold me.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And now the tires are worn, and need to be pumped before each time we take it for a ride. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The seat shows of sun damage, and the chain is a bit rusty.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's time to say goodbye.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This thank you goes more out to Melissa for not knowing the real worth of this bike and for not consulting your husband before selling it to me just 4 years ago.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Because today I sold this bike to a nice gentleman for $80<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I loved this bike and the memories I have with it are priceless.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Merry Christmas Melissa and Sam!<br />

My present to myself was a day off of work... and I did absolutly nothing... it was perfect. I didn't have a care in the world. Ben had school but on his break he took me out to lunch.<br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Wed was Veterans Day so we had the day to spend together. Ben tried to surprize me but I was too good at guessing... not that it made the day any less fun cause it was AWESOME. We drove up to Out of Africa wildlife park.<br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Here's two of my favorite pictures of the day...<br />

My mom took the liberty of freezing ours and we cut into it the other day (about a week late)<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You just have to find it.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Our anniversary surprise #2 was heading up to Sedona for some hiking and camping. The camping part kind of leaked out when I was telling Ben a story but I had to tell him eventually so he could help pack and make sure we had all the right stuff (even though we still forgot a bunch of stuff). I just didn't tell him where we were headed.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When we got into Sedona it was SO crowded. I've never seen that many people in such a small area. We tried to just keep driving until there was less people but it was very difficult. I had forgotten that it was the end of Fall Break for everyone... plus it was a Saturday<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/St04XYhvqpI/AAAAAAAAAfI/DJG-bRVnMWk/s1600-h/Sedona+2009+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/St04XYhvqpI/AAAAAAAAAfI/DJG-bRVnMWk/s320/Sedona+2009+004.JPG" vr="true" width="320" /></a><br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Sedona is so amazingly beautiful in the Fall. The weather is perfect and the colors are so pretty and Fall-like. We found a hike to go on but then didn't end up staying on the trail. Ben and I are more of explorers than trail followers... plus we don't like to follow other people on trails or feel like we're being followed. So instead we explored the creek and hopped on rocks. <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/St043mQKQbI/AAAAAAAAAfY/QYUcMdavX5o/s1600-h/Sedona+2009+038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3NsNiJvNa0M/St043mQKQbI/AAAAAAAAAfY/QYUcMdavX5o/s400/Sedona+2009+038.JPG" vr="true" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm laughing really hard in this picture because we had to put the camera on a timer to get both of us in the shot. I sat on the rock while Ben got the camera ready and on his way over to me he slipped in the water and disappeared for a few seconds behind a different large rock.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After exploring the canyon we needed to go find a place to camp and knew of only one area close by that didn't make us pay a fee. It was just past Jarome on the top of Mingus Mountain. It was dark when we set up so we didn't realize how awesome it was until the morning.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">From our campsite we only had to walk a little ways to see off the side of the mountain. Then we were driving out and got a little lost but ended up finding this launch pad for hang gliders. <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">All in all I'd say it was a great weekend... just not nearly long enough<br />

It seems weird to me that this year already came and went but we enjoyed every second of it. I told Ben that I would plan our first anniversary and wanted it to be a total surprize.<br />
