Rob.

My brother, Kasey is great! He and I are just alike, because of this a lot of the things I wanted to find in a husband where some of my brother qualities, traits, etc. One of these things being a good group of friends. Kas has a group of like 6 guys that have always been way close, even after all their missions, etc. they've all remained best friends. Anyways to the point. I have always loved that and the relationship they, as well as their wives all have. I was lucky enough to find that with Aust.

Austin has a great group of friends. They are all close and lucky for me the ones who are married have great wives. We get to hang out with them alot and I wouldnt change it for anything.


One of our very first dates was going to Applebee's on a Tuesday at 9 PM. I soon learned this was a 3+ year tradition of Austin's friends, rarely missing a week. I've loved it. On that night particularly I met one of Austins VERY best friends, Roby...

Little did I know at the time, I was soon to become very close to Rob as well! So this brings us to the reason for the blog post all about Roby. In 3 days Rob leaves us for 2 years! AAAWWW.
This sounds like a mission right? Sorta, only not, he's going to PA school across the country to North Carolina (maybe south I can never remember)-- DUKE (he's real smart folks, and single ladies!) This makes us sad.
I dont think I have ever experienced a relationship quite like Rob and Aust. It really makes me sad that he wont be around. I am certain Austin would not be the same person without his side kick- Rob. They met all because of a simple wakeboard magazine on Austin's desk! Those who know Aust know its a big deal and the fact Roby is also obsessed with wakeboarding, you can imagine just how great this friendship is. Besides his obsession with wakeboarding + all the gadgets that go along with it, Roby is seriously just an all around great guy. Austin and I always find ourselves talking about how genuine, sincere, and funny he is after our frequent hangouts! Really he almost seems "too good to be true!"

We are gonna miss: going on many first dates with him, sitting on the front lawn talking about life, how to get rich, and guns, motorcycle riding around the neighborhood, listening to Jane fear for him! Simple hangouts playing rockband or wii, joking around/making fun of each other. A lot of people don't really get Austins selling addiction, but Rob, he gets it! He always says, Austin and him think identical thoughts, he just loves how Aust will say/ act upon them first! (sometimes I don't so much love this but luckily Robs there to remind me not to slap him in embarrassment!)
Good thing those two are good phone talkers, (to each other!) cuz I know that wont change, Rob will be more busy but I know he'll make time to call, even if its just to tell Aust some weird gun law, or a pep talk before a date!! We will certainly miss him but wish him the very best of luck, and we are looking forward to that free medical care coming our way!! (wink, wink!)

long overdue.

Yes I know this is long overdue, but hopefully I can fill you in on whats been going on!
Lets see, June:
Not much went on during June due to the summer that came WAY to late. It was a bummer raining every single day. So lets just go ahead and skip right along to July!

I LOVE the month of July. It feels like never ending activities, fireworks, BBQ's, and friends and family time!

We had a great 4th! Aust actually had it off, first time in forever! We woke up early to catch the big breakfast at my parents, then off the the Kaysville parade we went! We had amazing seats, until everybody crowded the streets left us seeing nothing. My dad wasn't to thrilled with this so we went home! It was super hot out and I don't think Austin minded leaving a parade full of cop cars as he said! We caught the afternoon movie at the dollar theater, Soul Surfer. It wasn't a let down. We had wanted to see it for a while and we really enjoyed it! Love those good heart felt movies that leave you feeling uplifted and better! Later in the afternoon we headed to the park to stake out our seats for the fireworks. Its always fun just sitting around with everybody, playing , laughing and seeing all your friends and neighbors pass by. We played many a game of SKUM! The fireworks were not a disappointment, I love them and I believe Layton has the best finale show around!

A couple of weeks later we were able to go camping with the fam. It was a lot of fun, we spent 3 days up at Perception point! We 4-wheeled, went shot gun shooting, ate lots of yummy food, and just hung out! We tried to spend a day swimming, but the water was definitely freezing so we jumped off a cliff only once, then back to the car, out of the freezing water we went!


Austin has been able to get work off on a few Saturdays so we could go watch some wakeboard events. These are my favorite days! Why? Well because its just my cute husband and I! We lay in the sun the whole day, music, free stuff watching Wakeboarders, its a total relaxing day and I love it!

I had what I thought was going to be a simple deviated septum surgery, needless to say it was much, much more than I bargained for! Thanks to a supportive husband and a very helpful loving mom I got better! It was a week of pure hell, throw-up, blood, tears, and pain! I'm very slowly starting to see the benefits. Don't know if i'll admit it was worth it just yet but maybe when the stitches stop bugging my nose, and I can blow my nose I'll be fully satisfied!

My little sis is getting married Friday so there has been plenty wedding planning and stressing going around, its been a lot of fun doing a wedding with my sisters and mom! Lots of fun memories! We took her bridals last week and it was just so fun! I did the whole 10 yrds on her (hair,makeup, nails,etc!) It was so fun to see her all dolled up in a pretty white dress!
(Bridal shower!)

We've made it to a Rodeo, lots of BBQ's, lots of bike rides, we hit up Lagoon a lot, etc. Summer is just great, and the fun is only beginning! All the family comes into town this week, wedding Friday, Then off to San Fran with the Burninghams on Saturday! Hopefully this caught us up a little, its been to long!
