So we just gots back from going home to Utah and are glad to not have to drive in a car anymore. 11 1/2 hours from yesterday was plenty. We were gone from Wednesday to Wednesday and here are some highlights from the trip.
Wednesday- Drive, drive, drive, in zoom-zoom car. Forever too much construction and crazy Utah drivers.
Thursday- Windsurfing and falling into the water alot :D. We went up to Deer Creek and got out the humungous windsurfers from my parents attic and strapped stuff on top of and inside of my mom's van. It was pretty full. We had fun chillin and playing in the water and we forget one piece which my mom was so nice to bring to me so she came up and videotaped some of our fallingdowness. Lol well Eric did pretty well and got going sometimes, I just didn't quite know what I was doing.
Friday- Relaxation, yes! Chilled all day and had a bbq at my grandma's house with my mom's family. Yummy steaks.
Saturday- Winward family reunion up at Cherry Hill. Eric beat Clay in an arm wrestle. And Tyler wandered off and kinda got lost. Miniature golf with some cool crazy holes.
Sunday- Saw some friends and had dinner up at Scott's house with Eric's family. Played some rockin awesome Wii games and got sore arms.
Monday- Got errands done. Eric got pretty green new running shoes. Went out to Spanish Fork and played games with friends and family.
Tuesday- Greg and Tyler's birthday. Packing and last minute things.
Wednesday- Drive, drive, drive, sleep.....
We had a fun trip and are glad that we got to see people down in Utah. It was nice to have a vacation and not cook dinner. Eric liked not workings. Now we home and get to get ready for the start of school and new adventures.

Another day, another week, another month
So being that we never write on our blog, we are going to try to write on it with a little more consistency so that we can keep track of our random adventures and others can enjoy our stories if they want to.
So today we had yet more hot fire in the kitchen, I guess we just like cajun too much. Anyways in the midst of cooking up the chocolate for no bake cookies, the pan decides that its not big enough and the contents boil over the edges. Trying to prevent a huge disaster I pick up the pan, but being in the middle of doing dishes the sink was occupied so the pan got set down on another burner. Eric trying to be helpful and finding another location for the gooeyness got out a sheet of aluminum foil to put the pan on. That worked until I wanted to try to keep the chocolate boiling for at least the minute it was supposed to so the pan with the foil underneath went onto the hot burner and promptly caught fire. So panic ensued as the fire alarm starts going off and the fire gets blown out and the chocolate given up on trying to cook longer given the huge disaster it has created over half of our stove.
So besides that lovely little adventure.... Saturday was my last day of work at the Home Depot. So now I have a week to prep before we go on vacation to Utah and before school starts. Eric is still wiggling plants and looking for another job to keep him occupied as his hours will be getting cut soon.
We enjoy spending time with each other and often go for bike rides together down the centenial trial and take walks around campus at all hours when we just need to get out of our hot house. Cooler weather will be nice.

Up late can't sleep
So I up late and Eric asleep and I can't sleep so I bored and figured that I should write on our blog for funness.
We have almost been married for 4 months now, which is crazy that that much time has gone by already. We had a good day today having pizza picnic at the park and buying sewing supplies and material so that we can make matching pillowcases for our pillows to match the rest of our bed set that is oh so pretty. I also got a new calculator so that i can take my fe without pain this fall and I excited and reading its user manual and figuring out all the cool things it can do.
Since I no write in long time I guess I tell you that it's summer and that we both work at Home Depot. Eric as a vendor in the garden department and me in the hardware department with all the fun tools that I can't take home cuz they too expensive and I have no room so that is sad :(. But I know all about them now so at least I know which kind to buy could I buy them.
We just goes works and then tries to play a little together at home everyday and enjoy the sunshine. We went camping to Round Lake in Idaho which was fun and hope to go camp again next week to get out of town and have a vacation. It hasn't been too hot yet and so far we just live with windows open and fan going sometimes and we are surviving the heat which is good cause we don't have too many options. (well I guess we add humidity to the air whenever we do laundry and hang it up in our room on the cool dryer that we made.)
So for the most part life just goes on. We try to keep our house clean and get our lives organized together and have fun doing silly things together.

An update from the old married couple
So we got married! But we have no pictures yet so no prettiness for you to look at.
We feel very old. We have lots of grownup furniture. No more cardboard boxes and plastic totes serving our needs as every piece of furniture (well, they haven't quite disappeared yet...) So we feel like we have a grownup house and we are little kids misplaced in such a big person house. Good thing it is still pretty disastrous because a completely clean house would feel even more grownup. We have lots of fun grownup toys though. Appliances are great and our toaster no longer sets off the smoke alarm every time we use it. We did have a slight fiasco setting fire to the pizza in the oven and the fire alarm didn't like that one bit, so we are seriously considering buying a fire extinguisher in case mishaps occur when Eric isn't home because Stephanie just likes to sit and watch the pretty fire.

Umm, so I've known Eric since 8th grade and we've been on the track and x-country teams together. He took me to prom my sophomore year in high school for my first date. We were friends and played alot together. He liked me allot our sophomore year, but I wasn't interested in boys then, too bad for him.... So then we graduated and in July he went on his mission to the West Indies French speaking. I think I wrote him once while he was gone, but he denies that I wrote him anything. Then he got home and I came to his homecoming with some friends. We played once that summer and went wave running, and he asked to be on my email list while I was in Switzerland. So I sent him some emails while I was abroad. I came home and he was taking French over the summer at BYU and needed someone as a speaking partner. So he tried to get ahold of me, but we went on vacation to Michigan, so we finally met up the end of July and had West Indies and Swiss food at his parents house out in Spanish Fork with his then girl friend and her little sister and we played some games after dinner too. So then he invited some friends to go watch an outdoor movie at Scera and only I came so it was me and him. Then the next week we went again and he told me that he and his girlfriend were breaking up and the next day they did. Then Friday we went and played. Saturday he took me to a movie. Monday we hung out and played all night long and got breakfast at 6am. Then Wednesday we went to the movies again and kissed for the first time. And then we played everyday until I left for school. We didn't know how things would go being far apart, but after being gone 3 days I decided I was flying home to go see him so I bought tickets for our 3day weekend in October. We later decided that was too far away and both drove out to Rexberg (where his sister was at school) for a three day weekend in September. When I came home in October he proposed. I told him to move up here, so he gave his two week notice and my mom helped him drive up at the beginning of November. We are so excited to be getting married on March 13th!

Funniness
So Stephanie and Eric have adventures lol.
Before Eric got up here, I finally decided to go and wash my car. It was filthy and hadn't been washed since driving up from Utah and I'd also driven to Idaho, so it was no longer pretty it wasn't even red, it was bug splattered guts colored. So I'd discovered that across the street from Safeway is a car wash, and since my car was so dirty, instead of driving through the auto one, (I was on the phone with Eric and he said to just go in the part where you wash it yourself) so I pulled into one and was oh so confused. So I had to go and get tokens cause I didn't have any coins, so i put in a dollar and got a token, so I had 2 minutes to wash the filthiest car in the world. Needless to say it took me longer so I had to get tokens, lots more cause the other other bill I had was a ten so I got 13 car wash tokens. :) Good thing I like having a clean car. So then i used alot i guess lol. And I didn't know how to work the thing and was laughing and on my bluetooth while washing my car in order to get instructions from Eric on how to do so. So if you ever need technical support on washing your car. You know who to call.
Another funniness, was I was going over to another engineers house to get a copy of an old test to study and I had Eric remember the address, cause its a number and that's his job. So we get there and ring the doorbell, and forever later the door is opened and this little old lady opens the door and I'm like I'm pretty sure this is the wrong house cause umm, college students don't live with little old ladies. So I ask if Sean is there and she's like no sorries, she's out of town right now and asks for a name so that she could tell her who came by. So I left her my name and went away and burst out laughing, and so then we figured out that his house was across the street and made it there and got the test all right, so I just hope whoever that was has a friend named Stephanie that can make her feel loved lol.
So there's some randomness, lol it happens all the time, like when Eric was playing with my phone and saw my quick texts so he's like oh, I want to play with these and then told me that he was going to send one to himself. And I teased him about texting himself cause that's pretty sad. So then we just talk and lo and behold, his phone vibrates a little while later and he's all excited cause someone loves him and sent him a text and then he reads it and realizes that it's the text that he sent himself ;P. hes' pretty silly. I love him so much!
