Road Bike

So a few weeks ago I bought this road bike. A friend introduced me to it and I love it. I enjoy going to the spin classes at the gym so I thought what the heck I will give it a try. I love riding and feeling the wind in my face and just so free. And it is definetly a lot funner than the GYM :) I went riding earlier tonight and I rode so far and was having such a great time I didn't even realize how far I had ridden. It is such a fun way to exercise and I love it.
I encourage anyone interested to get one you will love it...

Errins Birthday

So this last weekend was my sister Errin's birthday. I wanted to surprise her and do something spectacular since she gave me the ultimate gift. So I got tickects to Phantom of the Opera in Vegas. It was the best weekend ever. She was surprised and so excited. I was able to talk my mom and sisters into getting tickets too so we were all able to go and have a girls weekend out. The Show was amazing and the cast did a phenomonal job. The sets were amazing and they made it look so REAL, the casts' voices were incredible too. Oh and we were sitting on the 3rd row. Thats the sweetest part. It truly was Awesome and I reccommend everyone to expereince it if you havn't already, I would go again in a heart beat.



Happy Birthday ERRIN... I LOVE YOU


Just the GIRLS.

Kyla and Michael picked this purse out for Errin

Joe's Valley

The weekend before the 4th. I went camping in Joes Valley with a group of work friends. I had the best time ever. Joes Valley is located in the Manti-La Sal National forrest, it is near Price Utah. We all were able to get off work early Friday June 27th and we drove about 2 hours to Joes Valley. We set up camp and the funny thing is, is I totally signed up and paid my money like 3 weeks in advanced and I was so excited to go, and then a week before we were to leave I realized I didn't own any camping gear. OOPS :( but I was able to borrow a tent and sleeping bag and all that gear from my uncle.. Thanks Brian. So after camp was set up we all went down and picked up our 4 wheelers. (I forgot to mention it is a camping and 4 wheeling trip). That night we roasted marshmellows, and hot dogs and Cathy one of the surgical techs who came made some really yummy baked beans. It was so much fun just hanging out by the fire and telling stories and talking. I had such a great time getting to know everyone better. We went to bed and woke up Saturday had breakfast and then went on a 3 hour 4 wheeling ride all across the mountains. It was so much fun and the National Forest is so beautiful. I would of never known Utah had such great luscious green mountains.
So on the ride there was a dead cow on the side of the path. And it had already started the deterioration process. This might be gross but I thought it was sweet to see, so I snapped a picture. I think its great to see its bones and joints and vertebrae. Something I see everyday in surgery but not everyone does so ENJOY.. :)



All over the forest are these lakes. They are so beautiful.


This I took 4 wheeling. This is on top of the mountain overlooking another mountain to the side.


Heres the Cow. If you can zoom in it actually is pretty amazing
Here you cann see his ribs and leg bones.

This I took 4 wheeling on the other side of the mountain.

Park City

My brother Michael and my sister Kyla flew up to Salt Lake the weekend of the 4th of July to spend some time with me. We had such a great time.. Friday night we drove to Kaysville which is north of Salt Lake and had a barbaque and lit fireworks with the Wall family. It was so fun, then Saturday we woke up and drove to Park City for the day. It was so beautiful and we went to the Resort and rode the Alpine slide and Coaster. So what you do is ride the lift up to the top of the mountain and then get these sleds with wheels and ride them down the mountain on a cement track.. It was so much fun. The Alpine coaster is an actual roller coaster through the mountain. The track is built low to the ground and through the trees and around the mountain. By far a lot funner and faster than the slide but they are both great. I encourage those who have not experienced this to take a trip and try it out. It is a lot of fun.
