river rafting

River rafting on the weber river....something everyone should try. It is a fairly mellow river and is super fun. Most of the river is flat and pretty difficult to tip over on but don't you worry, yours truly tipped over...twice. I was minding my own business when this huge pilon popped up out of nowhere(as we were going under the bridge) and we ran into it head on and it dumped us. I successfully climbed back into the boat just in time to run into a tree where I had to jump out to avoid getting clothes-lined by the tree. It was all really entertaining and the other boat had a really good show. Andrew couldn't come he was at work; its probably better seeing as he would have been embarrased of my mad skills in the river.(especailly for a girl who has river rafted down cataract canyon multiple times) It was really fun and am going to try again in a few weeks!

My partner in crime for the swim...

1 down 3 to go

This was my first nursing school clinical group. The first semester is over and I must say that it was a success. There are some awesome people in my class who definitely made it bearable, most of whom are in this picture. This semester was definitely difficult but I am learning a lot. Finals week stretched over 2 weeks and I took a total of 9, yes that's right 9 finals. I have 3 more semesters and then I am finished!

Mirror Lake

Over the weekend we went camping in the Uintas with some friends. It was beautiful and Henry tried out his swimming legs. He is quite the swimmer but he got really cold when he got out. We had to rap him up in towels and andrews's jacket to keep him warm but he loved it. He is the freaking coolest dog and you should all be jealous of his coolness. We went fishing at teapot lake and I caught a fish skeleton....thats it. I know pathetic but it was really fun. Apparently the fish did not like the pink marshmellow fish bait I had picked out. I made this rockin' dutch oven dinner that you would all be proud of. I actually really like to cook in the dutch ovens. We usually eat better camping then at home, is that wrong? We had raccoons in our camp at night and andrew tagged one of them with a huge rock, I think that it probably has some sort of brain injury now. Henry growled at them but then tried to make friends with them. It was rather entertaining watching the three boys chasing around the raccoons. Overall, a successful camping trip. It is really beautiful up there and I highly recommend it to everyone.
