Swiss Days and Tomatoes!!!

This past weekend was a blast. Nate and I headed down to Salt Lake to do some things with Nate's family. Sat morning we went up to Midway, up past Park City/ Heber area, to a festival called Swiss Days. It is this huge thing where they have live entertainment, all these craft booths and shops, and tons of food. We found a few really fun things and enjoyed the snow cones and Navajo tacos. We spent the rest of the time canning/bottling tomatoes. WE DID 86 QUARTS OF TOMATOES!!!! It was long, but we had fun chatting with Nate's grandparents and hearing all kinds of stories and advice on life. We a blast and came away with 11 jars of our own and now know how to can a few different things.

Mmmmmm tomatoes!!!!

Trip to Twin

This past weekend Nate and I headed up to Twin to visit family and friends as well as attend the Twin Falls Temple Dedication. It was a wonderful ceremony and we were glad we could attend. While there I also got to see some of my very good friends Bethany and Morgan and their baby Claire. She was so cute and we had a blast spending some time and catching up with them. We had a great weekend and now it's back to the grind stone of work and school.

Some Good Old Male Bonding Time

Last night Nate decided to tackle the job of putting new brakes on our car. The old ones have gotten pretty bad and now that we are back at our place with all his tools and a bigger and cleaner place to work it was time to get the job done. Nate's old roommate and good friend Justin came over and helped out. These two love working on their cars together and it makes for good male bonding time. Nate love working on cars and I will say I don't mind it either because it saves us a lot of money and inconvenience too.

Update

So now that we are FINALLY back in Logan, here is an update on what's been up. Last Saturday Nate and I celebrated our 1st anniversary!!!! I can't believe how fast it has flown by and we are excited to see what adventures this next one will bring us!!


Now that we are back in our Logan apartment, it is time to show you where we have dwelt the past 3 months. You tell me where you would rather live. We only took with us what little we could fit in the car.Our kitchen in Logan
compared to in Tahoe
Notice NO microwave!!!!!!!


Living room

or
This is the room I missed the most. Our bed room!!
For the last 3 months we have slept on an air matress. Yes I am serious. You see why I am so excited to be back. It's the little things you miss the most!!
orWith this adventure we learned what is really important and on how little we can live on, but I am glad to be back here.

Classiness

Last night Nate and I spent a night on the town. We began with doing a session in the Reno temple. It was so beautiful. It was a really small temple, but the feeling there was just the same. We were really excited to go. Last week we got to help clean the inside of the temple too. After that we grabbed a bite to eat at Jimmy Johns subs, which we love. We then headed to Hot August Nights. It is a HUGE classic car thing that goes on for an entire week and people from all over the country bring their cars to display. We had such a fun date night and love our new camera too!!! It is super nice!




This is the view from the back of the temple. That is where we were heading to for the car show.

This was our favorite one. The engine is in the back on the bed of the truck.

The thing on the side of the car is an air humidifier and cooler. You got to love old fashion air conditioning.

Finally!!

Finally after a long month with no camera our new arrived!! Our old one fell off a rock in Yosemite National Park on the 4th of July and cracked and jammed the lens so it was no longer in service. We decided that since we were going to fork out the money for a new one we should get one that would hopefully last more than year. (We bought our old one the day after we got married so it didn't even make it a year!!!) We really liked our last Olympus so we researched a bunch and found this one.



It is the Olympus 1030 SW 10 MP Digital Camera. Here is why we thought it would be good for us:"The Shockproof & Crushproof casing is a durable metal body that has an innovative shock-absorbing construction with a floating Circuit board that can protect the Stylus 1030SW from drops up to 6.6 feet and withstand 220 lbs of pressure. If you ever wanted to take pictures of aquatic life now you can, the Stylus 1030SW has Waterproof seals and gaskets that keeps water out so you can take pictures as deep as 33 feet underwater. When you're skiing or snowboarding you will enjoy the Freezeproof and Digital Image stabilization features that allows you to take perfect photos of fast moving subjects in cold climates up to -10c/14f. With the 10.1 MP setting you can capture high quality images and then easily view it on the 2.7" HyperCrystal II LCD display at extra-wide viewing angles even in direct sunlight."
Though we wont be trying some of these claims out we figured it would still be a good investment.
We shopped around on stores and online and found a place that sold it $200 cheaper than the stores online, so we jumped on the deal and now we are so excited to be able to document our adventures again!!! Stay tuned, lots of pics might be coming this way!!!!
