Artic Blast Anyone???

So as some of you may know when we got home on Sunday night it had snowed then iced over. It really didn't seem like a big deal since were from Utah and that stuff happens all the time right? Well they canceled school for me all week long. I could understand 1 or even two days, but all week? Come on. Not that I'm complaining because it was nice after a vacation. But the big storm didn't hit till yesterday. And this is what it left us with...



8 inches of snow with a inch of ice on top of it. We thawed out Ryans truck and it took us like 45 minutes to get the inch of ice off the windows. Crazy. It snowed then had freezing rain all night. Later tonight it started snowing agian. Here is a clip.



Just remember. If you think this is nothing this is very unusal for Portland. Last time it snowed like this was in 2003 and they only got 4 inches.

Our trip

Well we've been back from our trip for a week now and I'm finally getting around to posting about it. We had a lot of fun. The first day of our vacation was spent flying...boring..but at least we were on delta and they had individual t.v's so that made the time pass by faster. We got to Orlando at 10:00pm, checked into the hotel, and went to dinner to TGI Fridays at like 11. We were shocked that a restraunt was still open let alone serving food but we found out Orlando stays open all night. The next day we went to Seaworld it which is more fun than Seaworld San Diego, then went to the Blue Man Group that evening. They were the funnest part of the trip. If you ever get a chance to see the Blue Man Group go, they were soooo funny. Monday we left for our cruise. Now our cruise probably was the most boring part of the whole trip. I really wanted it to be exciting so Ryan would want to go agian but it wasn't. It was a small old ship, the food was so so, and it was so windy that they wouldn't let us go to one of our stops and they kept shutting down the decks. So the cruise was just ok. When we did finally get to be on land in the Bahamas it was great!!! We shopped, went to the beach, and went to the hotel Atlantis and swam with dolphins. They were so cute!! We didn't get to take pics of them but we bought a bunch even one of Ryan kissing a dolphin! We got done with our cruise on friday, rented a car and drove to the Kennedy Space station. Took a tour it was pretty cool. We got to see the shuttle land that was even cooler. That night we went to my cousins Ashley and Alex's apartment and they made us dinner. Thanks guys it was great!! The next day we all went to Universal Studios together. It was really fun. Then on Sunday we finally came home. The looooongst flight I've ever been on. 8 hours or something, Thanks Southwest. Well thats our trip, it was fun!!!

Can't Wait till Saturday!!!

We leave for Orlando in 5 days!! Yah! Ryan is even getting really excited about it, so that makes me happy. So I'll post all about it when we get back.

Ryan's Fishing Escapades

Ryan has been going fishing every Thursday for the last month. The result has been good. He has tagged out 12 Coho Salmon and pretty much taken over the whole freezer. A few of the days he has come home with 3 fish (the most he can catch in a day). Here are some pics of him and his fish.

Good Job Sweetie!

Our Pumpkins

These are our pumpkins this year. Mine is a ghost, and Ryan's pumpkin was so big that he made a skelaton on one side and a ship on the other side.

Crabbing

Yesterday we went to the ocean to go and catch some crabs. We only caught a few but we couldn't keep them because they were females. But it was still really fun anyways. We started off by feeding the seagulls. They really liked cheetos.

This is the crab trap they are really heavy when you are pulling them out of the water. I slipped once and hit my cheek on the boat.

Ryan's puny crab.

My MONSTER crab!

Guess where we're going???

Orlando! And the Bahamas! I'm soooo excited!!! Ryan and I are finally going to take a honeymoon trip in December. (I call it a honeymoon trip because we never got to go on ours) We are going to fly to Orlando on a Saturday, go do something fun, see my cousins who live there, then go on a 5 day 4 night cruise to the Bahamas which will leave on a Monday. We'll get back on friday and go do something fun in Orlando friday & Saturday then fly home on Sunday. It will be a blast!! Eight days of pure fun. Can't wait!
