life has been a blurr...here is an peak at the blurriness

raymond's mission reunion:

the berkstedt's--one and only mission president raymond had on his mission...they are the nicest people ever and are always so welcoming when we get together...they have books laid out at each reunion with each of the missionaries final evaluation they write before going home...kinda fun to see what raymond was thinking before i came along :)

a day from the view of our jeep...our topless day to be exact! beautiful spring has sprung or at least for a day and granted us an opportunity to take a drive through ogden canyon...it was still a little cold when we got to the top of the mountain but other than that is was perfect! we have seriously missed our topless summer days! just thinking about the fun that was about to be had my hair out of control...i secretly love it me and raymond--isn't he hot to start our trip we headed up the canyon, past oaks (home of the best spaghetti & meatballs!) past pineview reservoir over trapper's loop and into mountain green valley... gorgeous isn't it! we really had a great time being out in the beautiful weather! we finished the day off with some good 'ol home cookin and a movie in the comfort of our own home!
