Mixed Emotions

We were able to go to our newest nieces'
baby blessing while we were in Idaho.
Her mom (Sarah) and dad (Matt)
were able to bear their testimonies ....and
we got a shout out during the testimony.
Woo Woo
It was very special and exciting and I am
happy that we could be there for Kylie
(I don't know if I spelled that right)

Travis has been searching for his one true love
ever since we left Utah. He has been without
her and has been suffering, going through
withdrawals of her sweetness.
He has exhausted all options of finding
her and was hoping that since we were
going to be in Utah he could find her once again.



But his efforts remained unfruitful.
He will never be able to feel her cold sweat
in his hands again. And her one of a kind flavor
when his lips touched her mouth would be lost forever.
The way she made him feel will slowly fade away
until it's too hard to bring back those
wonderful precious memories.
So here's to you DNL....
may your memory live on forever.

You had better say yes.....

So on our 4th anniversary......
Travis and I celebrated by getting
SEALED in the
SLC TEMPLE!!!!!!!
and he said yes!!!!
....
I was a little worried
but I tried not to let it show.
I had a pretty good back-up if he did say no.
.......
I was already married to him....so he would still
have to answer to me.....hehehe

But seriously....what an amazing thing
to know that I am blessed enough to spend
the eternities with the person on this earth
I love the most. Happy Anniversary Travis
I love you so much!!!!
You have got yourself one very
happy wife right now.

We got to have some of each of our families
with us in the Temple.
We also go to have some friends of ours
that we met and had to leave in California
that were able to make it to our sealing too.
Cole and Jaycee.....Thank you so much
it was so nice seeing you again
Adam and Amber....happy anniversary
and Thank you so much also....
I can't wait until we can see you guys
again, give your cute families big squeezes
for me regularly.
Tiniel....I am so happy I got to meet
you finally and one day we will
get to spend some more time together.

So Temple square was under construction
and nobody had a camera with them
so this is the only picture I have of our sealing day.
I will cherish it forever.



Thank you to everyone that was at
the sealing and I am so happy you are a
part of our memories on this
special day!!!

Up....up and away

I was invited to go on a hike to
Drainey peak....

Well that sounded fun !!!
I could get a little exercise ,
enjoy the beautiful mountains,
get some clean fresh air
and visit with my family on the way.

Well....wow....that is quite a hike!!!!
but ....it sure was worth it.

I am pretty sure the hike is about
7.5 or 8 miles round trip.

On the way up the mountain there
is a natural spring where we fill our
water bottles.....Thanks Wes for
the lovely shot!!! :)

Travis calls this the widow's peak.

2 1/2 hours into the trip and we made
it to the top.....welcome to Drainey Peak

This is Sandy after the hike...she sure
did have a blast being in the mountains.
This is pretty much how she was at the
end of every day.

Diamond Creek Favorites....

Alright so every year in June the Owens
family goes up into the mountains away
from everything and everyone!!!
And we have a blast camping!!!
These are my favorite pictures I got while
being surrounded by
PURE AWESOMENESS!!!!!

Surrounded

Travis woke up one wonderful
sunny morning at camp....

or was it?....

He was surrounded by the one
woman he hates more than he loves DNL
Drew Barymore......
And this was his response.

I think he was a little
grateful that a few select cousins
decided to pick on him.
He actually got to throw Drew onto

a fire and watch her burn.

It's a bird....It's a plane.......

No it's just Sarah on the roof of her house

Crying

Yes, I am not a fan of heights and we had
some repairs to do on the roof.
So Travis told me he would need me to get on the roof
and hold the ladder while he got to the higher
roof. Well I was pretty nervous about it even
while we were talking about it. But I
thought I would be brave and if Travis needed me
I would be there for him. So I started climbing right
up that ladder.....
however when I got to the part where I actually had
to get off the ladder and climb on the roof....
I froze and started crying. Travis talked me
through it and I made it on the roof.

After being on the roof for about 10 minutes I
realized the bedroom window on the second floor
is only 3 feet above the roof and I didn't even
have to climb the ladder. So I made Travis
get down from the roof when he was done
and let me in the window.....because the scariest
part for me would have been getting down.

So I survived the roof!!!!!!

WOO-HOO

but let's not do that anymore.
Travis tried to say that maybe he wanted to
replace the roof himself and i said would that
mean I had to get up there and help?
He said yes
and I said let's pay someone else to do it.
