Gross

So we went on a hike the other day and this is what the salt lake valley looks like....seriously disgusting. Really, we currently have"the worst air quality in the nation." The act of breathing is more a chewing process now and its really grossing me out. I have not been exercising and I have attributed it to the air quality. Yes... the air quality. But I would really like to get out and run and use my snazy new heart rate monitor watch. According to the news, I might as well smoke a pack of cigarettes; um, no thanks. This picture was taken a week ago and it is still like this. Lame.

These are the deer we encountered on the trip. My new little camera did an awesome job of magnifying 12x to get this photo. I love my camera.

In case the first picture didn't do it justice...ewwww.

Dear pseudoephedrine,
I love you today. I think that you are the greatest drug on the market. My nose and sinuses are clear and the pressure in my inner ear has now equalized. I must ask however, why oh why must people make meth out of you. It is rather inconvenient for me to have to bribe the pharmacist and sign over my first born for for some of your wonderful effects. I love you all the same and thank you again.
Sincerely, a severely congested nursing student on the first day of school
PS. I would also like to throw out a shout out to kleenex-you also rock

The best 3 years

To my wonderful husband who I love more than anything. To the best 3 years of my life with my best friend. He is more than I deserve and can't believe I am so lucky. He is the best husband I could ask for. I love you very much Andrew Ward, may we have many more adventures together.

We went shoeshoeing to the top of millcreek during the day on our anniversary. We ate cheese and summer sausage at the top and drank hot chocolate. It was so fun! We ended up almost running down the trail because we left late and it was starting to get dark. It was rather fun though and we made it down the canyon in record time.

Then we went to eat at Tuscany's. It was delicious and Andrew looks pretty handsome wouldn't you say.
