Amanda's Wedding

Clearly this spring has found us rather busy, as I haven't updated our blog in years it seems. As of this Friday I am done student teaching and practically done with my Master's program! Just a few loose ends to tie up and my diploma application to send in! Waahhooooo! :) It definitely feels good. This Sat. we'll celebrate by going boating with our good friends Brian and Andrea, and then on Monday morning, take off for our cross-country adventures! We are planning on camping in Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Arches Natl' Park, then hitting up Colorado (seeing a few friends along the way)... and then booking it to Minnesota to hang out with family there for a week and a half. We are way excited :)

Yesterday I got back from a whirlwind Memorial Day weekend in Walla Walla for Amanda Thomas's wedding, to her now husband Justin. Curt wasn't able to make it (the $500 dollar plane ticket was a bit of a deterrent), so he headed up to Mammoth for some high-altitude training, aka: trail running while I stuffed myself full of wedding cake and paid the price for it (sick all Monday night... ugh). The weekend was a total blast, despite missing Curt and being sick however, and here are a few pics capturing the fun memories made:
Here's Amanda and flower girl Madeline Harrell at rehearsal :)

Hopefully we will update more often along the way this summer .... can't wait to see all our loved and missed family and friends! :)
