The Last couple of weeks!

HEY EVERYONE!

Sorry it has taken me a week or so to update this. Adam and I have both been slammed with work assignments. Here is a little update of the last two weeks:

On March 10th, we decided to start our day with an exciting adventure to the Horseshoe bend. It is about 2 miles south of Page, and about a half mile hike (okay, walk but no one knows :) It was GORGIOUS!! I sat back about 5 feet the entire time and kept getting on adams case about getting too close to the edge, but once we started taking pictures, I loosened up a little! (Only two feet away from the edge :)







About two days after visiting the Horseshoe, I went and did my visiting teaching with my new companion and friend Kelly Hansen. I went to visit another gal named Kelly who does river tours and takes people through that bend. She told me that we could go and do a river tour for free any time we wanted! So Kelly Hansen, her husband Jared, me & Adam will be taking a river tour through the horseshoe bend in the next couple of weekends. We are SO excited!

This past weekend we went to St. George for a little vacation from Page. It was very needed and a lot of fun. We went with Adams Friend Trent to Olive Garden for dinner, then went and bought the movie "The Holiday" to watch on Adams laptop. PS, if you haven't seen this movie, its a GOTTA SEE! One of my favorites this year.

On Saturday we went to the St. George Temple to do a session. That was the first time I had done a session in that temple, and MAN was it BEAUTIFUL! A great start to the day. Following the temple Adam went with Trent golfing, and I got to go shopping! YEAH!!! SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN WALMART! Didn't buy a ton, but I have to say, it felt really nice to have my sun roof open, blasting my music, and shopping for the neccesities!

So on the way back from St. George we stopped in Kanab to visit with Adams older brother Sean, who was visiting with their kids for the weekend. He decided to take Sunday and come see our new place in Page. (only an hour away). He spent the whole day with us, eating dinner, and going on a tour of Page. We decided to go down to the new Antelope Marina to skip rocks and see really how cold the water was. WELL, I won't be waterskiing in it for another couple of months if that gives you an idea of how cold it was :)





Other than that, Adam and Mandy are keeping really busy with work. Poor Adam, worked about 12 hours today, and is asleep on my arm as we speak. He has to work on Utah time, since the job is in Utah, and live in Arizona time. So he gets up an hour earlier than normal, and now is getting home about the same time he got home before the time change. He also told me today that he will have to work for a few hours on Saturday. But really, it is like a little kid coming in from playing all day. He really does love his job and is enjoying building the resort.

As for me, I am working on a HUGE QVC assignment for work. Hopefully I can post a few of the pages within the coming days.

That is all as for tonight. We are finishing the GREAT American Idol...Can't say I am loving it this season, but still have a love for American Idol.

Drop a note to say hi and let us know what you are up to

Luff ya

Welcome to Page



170 Miles from St. George, Utah
378 Miles from Salt Lake City, Utah
130 Miles from Flagstaff, AZ
274 Miles from Moab, Utah
110 Miles from the Grand Canyon
1 Mile from LAKE POWELL!

Yep, you've got it right! We are in the middle of NOWHERE! It has now been four weeks since we arrived in Page, and I thought that Adam, and I would start a family blog to give you an idea of what we have been up to.

So I bet you are wondering, what in the world are we doing in Page, Arizona?

Well, Adam got a job last May, with Okland Construction. They are a commercial construction company in Salt Lake City. We are building a resort near LAKE POWELL (on the borer of Utah & Arizona). It is an exclusive spa resort, meant for the VERY well to do. All we know is that it will be way out of our budget to ever get the chance to stay there! Adam is on the Management of the project and staying REALLY busy, but is enjoying his time on the site.

As for Mandy, she is working at home for American Crafts, still designing paper, ribbon, stickers, scrapbook pages for catalogs, & magazines. Basically trying to stay as busy as possible, so she doesn't think about home :) About once a week she goes to visit adam at the jobsite, and tries to not get in the way.



Each weekend we take a little little side trip to see areas around Page, and Lake Powell. Mandy's parents came a few weeks ago to see the new place and make sure we were "doing okay". Suzy sure was glad to see that we were in a nice neighborhood, and safe. What a relief to her...considering Mandy is the only child to have moved away from Utah County!

Here are a few pictures from the past couple of weekends, taking hikes around lake powell, and exploring a few slot canyons.
