St. George Trip

This past weekend I went with Ammon and his roommates down to St. George. We Hiked Angel's Landing in Zion's National Park, and then we went to the Tuacahn outdoor theater to see Les Miserables. It was SO good!!

The hike was really fun, and not as hard as I thought it would be. Its paved almost the whole way up until you get to the really steep parts where you have to hold onto chains to help you up. The view from the top was amazing! We had a lot of fun getting to the top where we took all sorts of silly photos like pretending we were falling off the cliffs, etc. Don't worry, we all survived!

Somehow I was miraculously saved from plunging thousands of feet to the treacherous rocks below.

That was the last anyone saw of Ammon.....

"Can you hear me now?" This is me demonstrating how the Angels land.

Luckily it wasn't too hot. We started in the morning around 7:30 or 8:00 and got to the top around 11:00-ish and then it only took us about an hour to get back down where we cooled our feet in the river then headed back to town.

Home Sweet Home

So I am finally moved into my new condo in Provo, and I have to say that I really do love it here so far. I am just one block away from a really nice park in Provo where Buster loves to take walks and where he is always a big hit with all the little kids. It takes me approximately 147 seconds to walk from my front door to the front door of the Smith's grocery store that is just 2 blocks away. I am 4 blocks from downtown Provo and 8 blocks from campus, so its a great location. Its also really easy to get to work, since all I have to do is go one block to state street and then follow that all the way up to my office. I am also just a few blocks away from the Provo River trail where me and Buster go running when I'm feeling ambitious.

My ward is pretty good too. I've only been there twice, but its probably the friendliest singles ward I've ever been in. My neighbors are really nice too. There are 4 units in my building, 2 of them are occupied by married couples, and the other by a really nice older lady named Peggy. My downstairs neighbors welcomed me to the building by bringing me cookies, and they also made these cute little doggy biscuits for Buster, which he loved and quickly devoured.

So for those of you who want my address, its 414 W 400 N #3, Provo, UT 84601.

My condo is 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and about 870 sq. ft. so its nothing big or fancy, but it suits my needs just fine. Right now its just me and Buster here, but I may end up getting a roommate, because, lets face it, there are only so many conversations you can have with a dog before you start going crazy. :-P
