2 Years and Counting.....

I know it's a little late but Trenton and I celebrated our 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARYon November 3rd!!! I can not believe that we have been married two years already...oh, how time flies!!! We didn't do much since we both had to work that day but we did go to dinner that night. We went to Red Robin, the restaurant where we went on our first date. I got the cobb salad and Trent got the jalapeno burger! It seems like just yesterday that we were walking into the temple to be sealed for Time and All Eternity! I think that I married the best man in the world but doesn't every girl feel that way about their loved one?! Thank you Trenton for being my best friend and my one and only! I Love You!!!

Chooooooooo Chooooooooo

In June this year, Trent and I took a train trip for his birthday. It was a blast!!! The train runs from Durango, Colorado to Silverton, Colorado. We took this trip with our friends Cody and Rachel. They live in Vernal, Utah and met us there to go on this adventure together! The trip was so much fun especially being surrounded by the BEAUTIFUL surroundings of Colorado and riding an old Steam Engine!!!

When we got up there we went to Mesa Verde National Park. The park is filled with the old Anasazi cave dwellings. It was so neat to see the intensity of these dwellings. We took a couple of tours that actually went into the caves. On one of the tours we had to get on our hands and knees to get through the crevices of their houses. These houses were built right on the edge of cliffs overlooking valleys! Here are a few pics:

*View from the highway driving through the park.

*A little friend we met on our way to one of the tours!

*View from the fist dwelling we toured. If you looked over the retaining wall, you would've fallen off!!!

*Waiting to start the hike/tour

*We had to walk sideways to fit through this "hallway"

The next day was the train ride! We stayed in a hotel in Cortez, Colorado and then drove up to Durango in the morning. We began the trip at 7 am and didn't get back to the train station until
6 pm. It was an all day thing but was an event of a lifetime!

*While the train was loading, we were taking pictures from our seats. Our car that we rode had no walls which made for a great day photographing the trip!!

*Our friends we went with, Cody and Rachel

*Our car we rode in, The Rio Grande!


*View from inside the car

*As Pocahontas would say, "Just around the river bend!" We were riding along a river which was about 1000 feet below us!

*Us!!

*Another little friend we made. He was sitting on the rock watching all the people while the train was stopped to fill up with water!

*Blowing off steam on the bridge of the Animas River. That was a sight to see!!

*My professional photographers picture. Man, do I love my camera!
