We Have Arrived...

So we have finally decided to join the blogging community. Mostly because I need some sort of hobby and because after 6 months of marriage, we're finally doing somethings worth blogging about. We have been living together in Provo, UT for the past six months, getting settled into married life. We have both been busy with work this summer but have managed to have a few fun days.
Earlier this month we took a trip up to Seattle (where I am originally from) to visit my family. We spent two days boating, wakeboarding, wakesurfing and tubing. It was a blast even though I was terrible. Give me a break though...I hadn't been on the water in a year! It was definitely a good time despite the sunburn after. Funny story about that...Mike was wearing a wet suit both days and came home with sunburn lines straight across his forearm and they didn't go away for a few weeks!
We also explored the city of Seattle on a duck. Allow me to explain. Seattle bought some old WWII trucks that could drive on land and then straight into the water like a boat. They call them ducks. The tour guide was quite entertaining and made quick friends with my little brother Dylan when he let him drive the boat! We also went to a Mariners game vs. the Yankees. We lost. Badly. But it was fun! A great weekend all in all until our flight home was delayed...like six hours! Thankfully Mike had just won an iPad from work so we kept ourselves entertained with games and movies!
In other news, Mike has taken up the hobby of photography. We shopped around for an entire day looking for a good deal on a camera and came home with a Nikon D3000. He has had a lot of fun walking around parks and downtown Provo taking pictures of everything. We have plans to drive the Nebo loop (a windy road through the mountains from Nephi to Payson) but we will have to go get some Dramamine first :)
That about sums up our summer so far! This is the first of many blogs to come!
