Drive, Wedding, Fire, & Things.

Alright, it is TIME for an update I'd say.
Well, there is not much to tell, but there are a couple things.
Beside working our guts out.
We have been busy with getting things ready for Austin's wedding. (Husband's younger brother)
Trying to spend some time together, when we get a chance.
One boating trip.
and some super fun drives.
and trying to help family out with anything they need while there is a fire, almost literally in their front yard.

I guess I will begin with...Our drives.
Whenever we can get a second just to be with each other, we like to take a drive.
whether it's to see what houses are for sale, just to put some petrol in the car, run to the store, or simply just for the sake of being together.
It's relaxing to just sit and have conversation.
and you know sometimes snuggle up against his shoulder.
The picture below is of a beautiful sunset we saw the other day on one of our Sunday drives.
Beautiful.



Last Friday, Husband's little brother, Austin married his girlfriend of over 2 years.
It was a beautiful ceremony.
I am so happy for them.
It was a lot of work getting everything ready, but so far seems like it was worth it.
They left for their honeymoon the next day, but Austin got very sick with the flu and they were home monday night. Sad right?
I am glad the both made the commitment to be wed and to love each other for the rest of their lives, I pray that this next year that they will be able to reach their goal of going to the temple and to be blessed with a marriage that is eternal. Not just for an eternal companionship, but also for an eternal family.
Congrats you guys. We love you.






The day after the wedding, so saturday. We got the boat ready and headed to the lake. Lake yuba to be exact. On the way there, everything was beautiful, peaceful and calm.
On the way home driving back through Nephi, Moroni and fountain green and so on.
There was this small fire. Maybe just like 10 acres or so...ok so that is still big, but compared to what it is now, it was small. We could see the smoke and finally passed the fire and it was just burning and there was a single cop car, we think trying to get some help because he was on the phone.
We figured it would be contained, but by the time we got back to the Carlton's it had already grown and every hour after that it was getting bigger and bigger. You could see the flames on the other side of the mountain. It was NUTS.
It is now known as the Wood Hollow Fire.
These pictures below are from when it had just started and had only been burning a few hours.



That is my in-laws house, scary!






I pray that this fire can get under control and all the fires that are in Utah and in Colorado. They are just devastating and so scary.
With all this going on explains my being bad at blogging recently, sorry.
But, I am now 22..My birthday was on the fifth. It was super fun and Husband spoiled me and so did my mom... I better start on making some cupcakes.

Also on the 26th of June was the 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY of when I met Sweet Husband in Australia.
It's weird to think that two years ago I was roaming around Australia and soon to come home to a letter that would be the start of a love story.
I love sweet Husband.
