Modern Warfare 2 vs. Praxis

Something I (Rory) is looking forward to...

Something Courtney is NOT looking forward to...

(Speech Language Pathology Praxis exam)

Wishing...

So I have been really trying to convince Rory that we need to do something fun for Fall Break...Last year we went to Cali and had a blast! What's more is that this year's Halloween Horror Nights at Universal look awesome!! Too bad we don't have money to blow for a road trip...

Bryce Canyon

It has been a busy past couple of weeks! School has been crazy trying to wrap up the summer semester. I got a couple of days off before having to start the Intensive Stuttering Clinic that I signed up for. My family all headed down to Bryce Canyon National Park. It was so beautiful down there! A little cold at night but perfect in the day for hiking! Here are some pics...Wish we could have stayed longer!

Mirror Lake Camping

Last weekend, Rory and I went up camping at Mirror Lake with our friends Isaak and Beth. It was really fun! (Good idea guys!)

Bald Mountain
Overlook

It was just a short drive, maybe hour and 30 mins, but it was worth it! It was so nice to get out of the heat of the city and enjoy fresh air of these beautiful mountains that we have! Rory and I agree that we live in such a beautiful state!

A bit chilly at night but it was perfect in front of the fire!

Here was our set up. We were able to fit on one single campsite which was nice (saved money).

You can see Milo and Koda chillen on the ground...We definately ate well! Wish we took more pics of our food cause we cooked up some great dishes! Friday night: grilled chicken, pasta salad, beans, and grilled pinapple! Sat: grilled sausage, corn, beans (yes again put different flavor), and shishkabobs. So good!!!

Isaak and Beth

I always enjoy the smores....Milo and KodaSaturday was spent down at the lake. Great day except for the stupid weather... Hutchie just loved it up there! He loved rolling around to get dirty and rubbing his face in smells! Don't worry a big bath was waiting for him when we got home. This is Rory "not-so-happy-cause-my-Walmart-fishing-pole-sucks" picture. He didn't want me to take the photo but I thought he might someday look back, laugh, and realized I told him so!Like I said, weather wasn't the greatest. After fishing at the lake for a couple of hours, we came back for a nap. Later on, the clouds came rolling in and just poured down!!! Sure glad we had a rain fly for our tent! Hutch got a scared from the thunder so he snuggled by Rory. They both fell asleep. So cute...

All and all really fun weekend! Much needed break from school and work!!

Harry Potter Mania!

Yes, Rory and I saw it! Rory got pre-showing tickets through his work! It was great! Now I just have to finish reading the book (including the last book)!!

Happy Father's Day!

We love you both!

Two years down...

Has it really been two years!?! Time sure flies! I have to admit, I liked the weather a whole lot better two years ago than what we have been getting lately this year! It was crazy stormy yesterday when we decided to go out, so we just went to get ice cream and see the movie Star Trek, which was awesome by the way! It was fun just being together since I have been so busy lately with school! Rory is a good sport though! He is very supportive. And he never forgets to remind me to do my homework when I'm lazily sitting watching tv....

Thanks Rory for all you do! You are the best!

Here's to the many more years to come!
