Air Show

I suppose it's probably about time for me to update since it's been a while. Our lives aren't that interesting, so I feel like I shouldn't bore everyone with how little we do each week.

Since Jon got that promotion, he was doing training for two weeks with a normal work schedule (M-F instead of F-T). So we had two weekends to finally go out and do something fun! Jon called up our friend, Joseph, and we planned a trip up to Layton his first weekend off. Joseph told us that he and Julieta were planning on attending the Air Show, and we were excited to attend! We didn't go on base because it was already packed, and Joseph wanted to take us to a different area where you could see the whole show just fine. So that's what we did! It was us and a few other people to begin with, but the spot became more and more popular throughout the day. Most of the beginning stuff was just airplanes flying around in circles and loops. There were a few parachuters, and then lastly were the jets. We waited most of the day for them. Unfortunately, they were taking wayyy too long, and we left before the really cool jets did their show. Here are a few pictures from that day, along with a few videos:

It's been really cloudy and rainy the last two weeks, and I haven't enjoyed it too much. The only thing I liked is that it was cool outside and kept our apartment cool inside. Otherwise, I have missed the sun so much! I simply cannot stand being without the sun for a week. However, there were a few times that there was a beautiful rainbow outside, so I snapped a picture of it! I'm always amazed with the beautiful things God has created in the world for us to enjoy.


Yesterday, Tara (my neighbor) and I beat our best 5K time thus far! It was a great achievement. We were both thrilled and both out of breath afterwards. Although, we definitely are not that fast AT ALL. At least we know we're improving! I'm getting some pretty awesome muscle definition in my calves, and I like it! :)


Things I'm looking forward to in the near future:
- Watching more 24 (Jon and I just recently got into it two days ago!)
- More Harry Potter movie nights at Gentri's
- The NEW Harry Potter movie premiere (7/15)
- Our trip to Arkansas and seeing Emily! (7/20-7/26)

See what I mean? It looks SO GOOD!

Provo Tax Day Tea Party

So Jon and I went to the Tea Party here in Provo on tax day. It was interesting. There were definitely a lot more people there than we both expected and a lot of supporters driving by. It was just kind of funny the things people would yell out. I liked a few of the signs. Jon's favorite one was the one that says Obama is a "donkey." It was fun, and now Jon and I can say we've been to a "protest." Here's a few pictures (sorry, they are not the greatest.):









My family is coming into town next week! Woohoo! They're coming to bring Rog to the MTC (Wednesday). They're going to be here all week long. It should be some good times. Jon's birthday is also next week along with my older brother's. I'm not sure what I'll do for Jon's day though. I guess just make him some good dinner and cake.

We've finally purchased some food for food storage! Half of the shelf in the second bedroom closet is full with cans and boxes of food. It's not nearly enough, but it's a good start. I feel so much better now. We need to work on our 72-hour kit next...

Jon is still waiting on that promotion (the other guy hasn't quit yet!). We're hoping it'll happen within the next month though. Oh and they still haven't announced who the Employee of the Quarter was yet. They cancelled the meeting where they would have announced it and have yet to reschedule it.

I'm waiting for a call from the Head Start Preschool for an interview. They should be calling sometime next week. I also applied to be a Child Care Attendant at the Orem Fitness Center in the evenings. That looks pretty easy. So, hopefully, something will come through!

In other news, I am SO excited for the new Harry Potter movie! It looks SOOOOO GOOD! I can't wait to see it! Originally, Emily and I had planned to see the midnight show together. However, she has decided to move to Arkansas (well, it's not definite yet), which would make tickets more expensive. Also, she's pregnant now, and I want to see her bay sooner than 4 months after it's born. So I'm planning on making a little trip out to visit in September instead of July now. Hopefully, it'll all work out. I can't wait!

P.S. It's going to be almost 80 degrees next week!!! SO grateful that there won't be another 8 inches of snow like this last week!
