SCHOOL.

So Sorry....

It has been too long since I posted but my sweet husband lost our camera so I don't have pictures but a lot has been going on. We are both officially back in Utah, both going to school and working so we are super busy! My best friend Amber got married to Jared Sims two days ago. The sealing was so awesome I was so happy I could be there for it! All my friends also threw a fun shower for her, thanks Jess and everyone else for putting it together! My other friend I work with Jessie got married too. Her reception was so cute and I know they will be so happy! My sister went to Homecoming I helped her get ready and she looked so beautiful! My mom made her dress! It was black and hot pink. I am such the homemaker! I made raspberry and blackberry jam, I also canned peaches with my cousin Jodi. We choose something each year to can together and it is so much fun! Right when we got back to Utah Erik's sister and husband were here visiting. We had a few days with them and Daphnie we love when we get to see them! We miss you guys! I am happy to be back with my cute sunbeam class! I missed their sweet spirits. Hopefully I didn't miss anything and I am waiting to get all the pictures I can from everyone else so I can put up pictures about all this stuff! Sorry such a long boring post! P.S. congrats to Kylee and Jayson, Dave and Bethany, and Chad and Chelsea for having your babies we will visit soon!! oh another P.S. swine flu sucks! Me and Erik are stuck in our house for the next week!! Boo getting sick!! 

German fest

Kristin, Lauren, Rachel, and I went down  to the lake one day, we saw that there was a 5k going on and we saw signs to a Germanfest. So we decide to ask one of the participants of the 5k where the Germanfest was. They pointed us in the right direction and we decided to check it out! It was so much fun! They did it at the same place they do Summerfest. SO many people were there and they were dressed up. They had people on all the stage areas dancing and singing German songs. We had Funnel cake ( So delicious! ) and we had brautwarst with sauerkraut! It was really good!

This is one of the stages they were performing on.
Here is Lauren, me, and Rachel,(Kristin is taking the pic) Can you see the pig roasting in the background?!? So gross!! 

Brewers Baseball Game

We went to a Brewers game and had so much fun!! They played the Dodgers, and Brewers won!! We sat in dug out seats, row 15! It was so awesome!!! This was me and Erik's first pro baseball game. We went there with Brit, Ben, Melissa, and Ben. Skyler and Lauren were already there. We all went to dinner after the game. This was such a fun night!

Erik, me, Brit, and Ben
This is a Dodger player that was talking to people in the stands after the game. Erik got to meet him and talk to him. You can see Erik in the picture.
The place was SO packed!

~Chicago with the wives~

We all decided we really wanted to go to the temple and see the city. So we started at the temple(pictures are further down) then we went into downtown Chicago to see the city and eat dinner. We had so much fun! I love Chicago it is so cool to see such a huge city and see the skyline with all the tall buildings! 

This is me and Kristin ha we were trying to take it of ourselves and this is the best one we got!

I am a few days late on this post but I want to wish my dad a happy birthday! I hope he had a fun and good day!! I am so thankful for him! He is the best dad in the world. He is so much fun and always makes me laugh. He has really become wise in his old age and gives the best advice! He has always done so much to provide for our family and I am so thankful for all he has done for me!! I LOVE YOU DAD!! ( I changed my songs to dedicate them to my dad!! So these are for you!! )

The 4th a LOT late!!

To start out the day me, Kristin and Brittany ran a 5k! My first ever!! Who would have known I was a runner!! ha jk I am totally not! But I made it through with a decent time so I was very proud of myself!! We stayed for the parade but I didn't have my camera so sorry no pictures! 

We met up with our husbands after and me and Erik went boating with his manager. It was so much fun! They did tubing and wakeboarding!! We ended the night watching fireworks on the lake.... They were every direction! It was a perfect seat! After we went to Kopp's frozen custard for some good ol american food!!
