Rick has been a broken record lately getting the point across to me that we are going to be active this summer doing hiking, biking, camping, etc. I told him I got the idea after about ten times of him mentioning it to me this past week, but that didn't stop him, I think he repeated it about 20 more times after that, haha. So, I decided that I would satisfy his craving for some outdoor adventure and we went and hiked Y mount this past Saturday. I was a little nervous because last year when I did this hike...mmm...well...didn't go to good for me. Let's just say I didn't eat breakfast before and I had to stop every 10 steps to take a break, pretty embarrasing. I definitely do not pride myself in being a good hiker so I was a little nervous about how I would do this time.
Me before the hike. I looked happy, but inside I wasn't too pumped.
Rick and I before the journey. After I took this picture I said to Rick, "You are smiling wierd, just smile normal". Well this next pic is what he gave me........
LOL. Yeah, we didn't take any more up close after that:)
We went with our friends Ryan and Rachel who just moved here from California. They have two kids who are the cutest.
We got to the the "Y" and I was so happy cause I had done really well without too much huffing and puffing, but.....
These insane boys thought maybe we should go to the very tippity top of the whole stinkin' mountain. After a little contemplation the final decision was.....
YES....ahhh.
So we kept going and I was actually pretty happy we did, we saw some cool views and burned a lot more calories. Here is Rachel overlooking the beautiful view.
Adorable Andrew. He is such a trooper, walked pretty much the whole way, ALL 4 HOURS!! He was full of questions the whole time and fascinated by all the lizards and snakes we saw.
Us at the top, atleast the top of our journey. We didn't make it the whole way that we were planning on. It was a little bit farther that we had thought it would be, hehe. After we got down the mountain we snarfed down a JDawg..yum!!! It was so much fun to get out and do something with the weather FINALLY being nice. It really got me excited for this summer and all the outdoor goodness we have ahead of us.
On a side note, we got a new car. We got rid of Rick's big truck and got a little car with good gas mileage. We tried doing the one car thing for a few weeks and we decided that even though we work at the same building and could make it work if we wanted, we are just not the couple who can have one car. We are so pumped, it's really nice and 1/2 the payment we had with the truck. Yay for saving money!! Below is a picture of our new beauty!!

Yay for warmer weather. Looks like a fun hike (except for your crazy looking hiking partner). We should do some hiking together this summer.
That looked like you guys had a great time! Ha, maybe you guys could do something with us sometime!) I like the car!
I hate HIKING too, glad u guys got to have some fun in the sun as I like to call it!
So much fun!!! I have always wanted to hike the Y. By the way, cute new car, how fun is that!!!
I have never hiked to the Y before. It looks like you guys had tons of fun! Oh, and at first glance I thought that you had chopped off your hair. I thought it looked cute though. I did notice that it was in a pony tail after a few pics and and of course you are gorgeous with your long beautiful hair.
It's 4 hours?!? Thats a long hike. Looks like you had fun though. I miss you!! I don't know when I"m flying back there, probably in a few months, but you guys need to come visit us here as soon as you can. PLEASE!!! You would love it
You go girl! The view looks beautiful! I miss those mountains sometimes.
And cool car!
Ok could you two be any cuter? Seriously I would DEFINATELY NOT look that good after a four hour hike! I really want to be more active this summer too so thanks for the inspiration! hahaha oh and ps I am LOVING the new car!
I miss Utah! Looks like you had a great day. Love the new car...guess what we just bought a van ( yes you heard right Adam bought a mini-van...haha) We won't get the van until we are in California, it will be sent there from AZ, so we will have plenty of room when you come and visit us! Miss you guys
