Starting off the Summer

Kyle has this fun place that he always talked about taking me to every time we are around the Proper-T but usually when we are around the Proper-T, our days are packed full of fun activities so we never had a chance to go until now.

There is a place in Maple Canyon called Box Canyon that you can hike into and explore. A couple Saturdays ago we took a day trip to see Box Canyon and rock climb. It is supposed to be one of the best rock climbing places around. We forgot our camera so we didn't get to take very many pictures but here is what we got.


There are super tall rock cliffs on both side the whole time. It is really pretty.


Cute little tree in the middle of the trail.

At the end of the Canyon there is a really tall waterfall that was a little too hard for Katie and I to climb. The boys thought they were invincible so they climbed it while we waited at the bottom. Kyle is taking a picture of us from the top so you can see how far up he really was. I was a little scared for him but he said it was really cool up there and he didn't get hurt so I guess its ok.

The Best 2 Years of my Life

2 Years ago yesterday Kyle and I were married for time and all eternity in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. I can't believe how lucky I am to have found him. He is my best friend and I love every second we have together. These last 2 years we have had so much fun together. I can't wait to see what the rest of our life has in store for us. I love you Kyle! Happy Anniversary!

Bring me 2 Pina Coladas...I Want 1 for Each Hand..

I promise we are still alive! I haven't had the chance to update our blog in a really long time. If there is anybody out there that still reads this, I'm sorry. Our life has been a little crazy lately. We have been to Cancun, I had my 23rd birthday, Kyle got a new calling, we bought a new car, softball has started and we got a new BBQ. So if any body is feeling like hamburgers let us know! After 4 years of waiting I finally was able to go to Cancun! I was amazing! I have never seen more beautiful water. Just thinking about it makes me wish we were back there right now. One of the coolest things about the trip was we didn't have to worry about anything. Serious for one of the days we didn't even look at a clock once. I don't know if I will ever be able to do that again.

The trip didn't start off so smooth though. Can I just say that I love America even more then ever now. We got off the plane and were so excited to hit the beach but instead we hit 4 hours of standing in a hot line just to get through customs. We were tired, hungry, and very irritated. Once we got settled in though, we loved every minute.


We pretty much hung out in our swimming suits the whole time. It was so HOT!! It was a little windy though so the beach wasn't as calm but it made for some really fun waves to play in.

This is the view from our hotel. The rooms weren't 5 star but the restaurants and pool area were the nicest on the strip. Who wants to stay in the hotel room when you are in Cancun anyways, right?

There were tons of these little tables all over the hotel. We could go order any drink we wanted at any time. It was pretty fun to try everything out but we figured out there aren't a ton of drinks that you can have without alcohol so we had a lot of Pina Colodas and Mimi Vises but they were delicious!

We spent a lot of time seashell hunting. Why? I don't really know but I do know it was fun and Kyle is Pro. He found this super cool Titan Coral that we may or may not have tried to sneak home.

Paragliding is awesome!! ...if you don't get super seasick on the boat/waverunner ride out there. It was beautiful and we were SOOO high. Its a good thing it was so high so that nobody could see what I was doing up there. haha I'm not going to lie that it was a little disappointing, at least for me, Kyle loved it the whole time. I was so excited to go but the aftereffects make me a little weary of ever going again.

Tulum!! Its a must see! I loved these guys even though they made us pay $5 to take the freaken picture on our OWN camera. Whatever. We were on vacation.

Decoration building in Tulum. It had red had prints on the top floor from the natives. Super cool.

Face built into the outside corner of the decoration building.

The main structure in Tulum. These old historical places are so interesting to me.

A walkway in the middle of Tulum. I thought it was way pretty and the shade felt really good.

Tulum was built on the top of a rock seashore so that they would be protected from their enemies and it was prefect for selling and trading.

Monkey man back at our hotel climbing the palm tree so that we could open a coconut.

Our last day. :( We were so sad to leave. I could have sat on the beach forever and just watched the waves come in.

Overall it was the perfect vacation. We have a couple good stories to tell but we still can't wait to go back. We love Cancun!
