Idaho State Fair

On Saturday, Jon and I went to the State Fair. We went with our friends, Brian and Kristin Lusk. It was a lot of fun, our original plan was to go to the demolition derby at the fair, but when we were buying tickets, we were too late because the derby was sold out. It was OK though, because there was still so much to see. Jon and I had never been on a Ferris wheel, so we took a ride on the Ferris wheel. Too be honest, it was not as great as we thought it would be. Oh well.

The fair also had lots of venues with local businesses and restaurants. As well as a place for the locals to show off thier farm animals.

Scott's Wedding

After Colorado, we headed to South Jordan for my brother Scott's wedding. He was married on September 5th in the Salt Lake Temple, to Ashley James. They are such a cute couple, and we are happy to have Ashley in the family. Everything turned out beautifully.

Road Trippin...Fully Loaded With Snacks and Supplies

During the seven week break between semesters, Jon and I got a job working at a call center in Rexburg. Not the most glamerous job, but it paid the bills. At first when we got the jobs, we had these glorious ideas of working 8 hours a day but in reality the job was so boring. Everyday we would call strangers up and try to get them to complete a survey. I was never very good at it but, Who knew Jon would be such a pro.
Well anyways by the time we had worked a few weeks we were tired of the job and we felt we needed a break. Lucky for us, Jon's dad was heading to Colorado Springs for a buisness trip. When I heard this, I knew we needed to go on a road trip. It would be so fun to visit with Jon's dad, and it just so happens to be where I served for my 4 months away from Temple Square.
This was our first road trip together, and it was so fun.

The view through Idaho.

On Saturday, we took a drive to the top of Pike's Peak.

14,115 ft is a long way up.

We were all terrified of the ride up the mountain.

Jon's mom once had a dream where Jon's dad was in an

accident with a red car! Looks like her dream was fulfilled.
