No Worries

Just wanted to let everyone know that we're still friends after last night's game...

You Guessed It...He's Gone!

Yesterday, Sept 3rd, Bryant reported to the Missionary Training Center! I can't believe it! He will be there until Sept 24th and then will spend 2 years in the Lansing, MI mission. We are so proud of him and know he will be an excellent missionary. Reed and I were able to go to the MTC with him and my parents to say the final good byes. It was my first time at the MTC-it is a horrible place! Everyone is just so sad and your missionary disappears through some door for 2 years! Mom did ok, Reed got mistaken for the new missionary, and the old lady thought I looked great in blue.

It's Never Too Early...

...to start getting excited for volleyball season! The 2009 schedule is up! As much as I miss having a weekend or a husband, I do love being in season. But the real big news is that I will be joining the volleyball team in November to a tournament in Hawaii!!! I've never been, so I'm super excited! And it's awesome because Reed is all paid for by BYU-so it's two for the price of one! BYU even pays for half of our hotel room, so we figure it would be dumb for me not to go. Anyways, click here to see the schedule and mark your calendars for a fun 2009 Cougar Volleyball season!

A Few More of My Favorites...

We're all gonna miss Bryant...

"The Best Vacation Ever!"

We just got back from a wonderful trip to Idaho with the Johansson family. Every time my dad took any pictures, he'd ask if it was for the blog. So as soon as he sends them on to us, I'll post the"real blog pictures". Here's our trip in photos:

We started by visiting Grandma and Grandpa Tibbitts in Arco, where Grandpa was the Atomic Days Parade Grand Marshall

And then we went to the Atomic Days Rodeo. Reed got to wear Grandpa's belt buckle and Bryant sported his glasses he caught at the parade.
Then it was off to Redfish Lake-but not without stopping at the chipmunk place (Galena Summit) first!

Once we got to Stanley, we all scurried to claim a room in the cabin.
Monday we went to the Sawtooth Fish Hatchery and fed the Rainbow Trout and went to the hot springs.

Tuesday we hiked 3.5 up to the Bench Lakes, flew kites, and played volleyball.

Wednesday was ATV day. Everything started off great...

Then my quad flipped and landed on top of my bad knee. A few hours later it looked like this:

But we went home happy and dirty

Thursday and Friday were beach days. But dad has those pictures, so we'll just have to wait for those. Here's what my knee looked like when we got home Saturday:

My knee seems to be fine-just badly bruised. Overall it was a really good trip and we had a great time. It was so fun to be with the whole family-with Bryant getting ready to leave for his mission soon, it'll be a long time before we all get together again. Thanks mom and dad for a wonderful trip!

Let Freedom Ring!

Happy 4th of July! This is definitely one of our favorite holidays-warm weather, bbqs, fireworks-it doesn't get much better!

This 4th was such a good one for us. We woke up early and had breakfast and watched some of the hot air balloons until wegot the call to go-then it was off to Lake Jordanelle! Reed's buddy, Kevin borrowed his grandpa's boat for the day and invited us and some other guys from the vball team to spend a day on the lake. We had skis, a wakeboard, and tube to keep us busy all day. The weather and the water wasn't the best, but we made the most out of it and had a blast!

After a quick nap, shower, and dinner, we went to the BYU men's soccer game and then watched the Stadium of Fire fireworks from the field.

One Year & Counting!

Today is our 1 year anniversary! I can't believe how fast it's gone by! Being married is definitely the best and I've never been happier. I'm so blessed to be married to my best friend and can't wait for the rest of forever together! Loves you Reed!!
