Press Pause...

This last week was my fall break from school and also mine and Landon's two year anniversary! It was nice to finally be able sit down and not have to do any homework, taking 24 credits can burn you out fast...who would have thought! I was finally able to catch up on a few other things, like; cleaning my disaster area apartment! How dose an apartment keep getting dirtier when your never there? And I also finally got around to doing my laundry that I was two week behind on! I was also able to get ahead start on some upcoming homework I have, and finally get around to catching up on my blog!

I have really enjoyed most of my classes this semester! One of my favorites has been my search and rescue class! A few weeks ago we got to go visit the Air Med helicopter pad and the Life Flight plane hanger and talk with the crews! I was in heaven, this is what I want to do with my life so getting to talk to these guys and watch them in action was the highlight of my month! When we were on the air med heli pad we got to see two helicopters land with patients, and see them get a call and take off to go pick up someone else! It was so cool! And in the Life Flight hanger we got to see how they can transport patients by airplane!









For our anniversary we were planning on going to San Francisco but we put an offer on a house we like so we had to stay closer in case we needed to do anything with that. So we ended up going up to Park City for the weekend and stayed in the nicest hotel I have ever seen, it was called The Chateau at Silver Lake! Landon out did himself and I had such a great time! It was nice to be able to see and spend more then 30 min with Landon seeing that we are both so busy! We were planning on riding the alpine slide and zip line but ended up getting rained out, I was so bummed, but it was nice that we didn't spend as much money as we had planned on!









Over all it was a great pause from school and work it helped relieve so much stress and tension i had. I felt bad because with both of us being so busy and stressed in a small little apartment there were times we got on each others nerves. It was nice to take a week and remind ourselves how much we love each other. Needless to say I am dreading to have to start back with everything tomorrow but it is nice to know I am now half way done with my nightmare semester!!!
Also I am excited for the weeks coming up, my little brother gets home from his mission!!! I can't wait to see him! After he gets home we are going on a family vacation over thanksgiving to Cali so that should be fun and oh so entertaining! Nothing like saying welcome home Elder then being confined in cars and hotel rooms with your family for a week!
