The fam at Rainbow Bridge...way cool!

Oh, heck yes! This was so much fun! This last Saturday, me, ree, my dad, my Aunt Mary's family, and my grandparents went to Powell to go boating and hike Rainbow Bridge. We left St. George at 5:30 am and met G and G in Hurricane so that we could all ride together. We headed up and met Aunt Nin and her family there since they had stayed the night there. When we first got on the lake, the boat was having issues. It wouldn't go into gear, it was viberating like crazy, and the rpm's were running really high. We thought that we were gonna have to just put the boat back on the trailer and head home. Luckily, Aunt Mary decided to call someone to see if it was just a minor problem that could easily be fixed. We ate lunch at the Wahweap Marina and checked out the house boats while we waited for the guy to get there. Flip, there was a piece of plastic covering the air intake that was causing all of the problems. So simple! They had just taken the boat in a few weeks prior to this to have every fluid changed and have everything looked over so we couldn't figure out what they heck would be the problem? Luckily it was just minor and easily fixable! Anyways, we spent the day out on the boat and just had a great time! I got way sunburned but so did everyone else. We didn't get in the water at all because it was way too cold but it was so gorgeous there! We hiked Rainbow Bridge and just spent a day full of boating and family time! It was a blast!

CAVING!!!

Ok, this was the best! My friends and I have recently met some guys that are so fun! Dave, Craig, and Braeden are just a crack up to be around and we've had so much fun with them in the short time we've been friends. We had talked about going caving a few times because all of the boys are from up north and haven't ever been and Kimber hadn't been either. I knew it would never happen if we didn't set a date and time and just go for it so I text everyone and we set a time and went! Caving is such a thrill! If you've ever been, you'll know what I'm talking about. You hike down into caves at night(we went to the Snow Canyon Caves) and you take like 3 glowsticks per person. Once you get into the opening, you break the glowsticks, tie a string through the hole, and swing them around above your head. The glowing specs fly all over the cave walls and floor and all over your body. Everyone is camoed in and you play hide and go seek! Oh, it is a blast! I couldn't get the look of the caves after we had put the glowsticks everywhere with my camera but it's so great! It was me, Kim, Kels, Madi, Dave, and Craig that went and it was fun to see the reactions of the people who hadn't gone before. I'm a flake and couldn't find the caves forever but we lucked out and I finally found them! It was so fun!

New Car!!!

Ok, I haven't updated my blog for a very long time so the next like 3 or 4 posts are all going to be updates. I bought a new car in March and am so excited about it! It's a 2008 Hyundai Elantra and it's just so fun! I decided to get back into debt so that I could have a 4 door vehicle and a more reliable car. I loved my Civic so much but the 2 doors drove me totally crazy and it was starting to get a lot of wear and tear on it and I just didn't want to pay for all of the repairs. I also love having no subs in my trunk! It's SO nice! I enjoy being able to take 5 people in my car now and having tons and tons of trunk space! My car is a manual transmission which was a must for me on any car that I bought. It was just everything I had been looking for in a new car and it was cheaper to get a brand new Hyundai Elantra as it was to have a used Mazda 3 which was my other option. I just love it! It has XM radio, alloy wheels, sunroof, heated seats, audio controls on the steering wheel, tinted windows, 5 year bumper to bumper warranty, and just tons of little perks that I was freakered about when I was shopping for cars. Anyways, that's my latest exciting purchase!
