The Checklist: Things we've always wanted to do, and have done!!!

SKY DIVING

For my birthday a few birthdays back, Ty surprised me by helping me fulfill a life time dream of going skydiving. We got to jump out of the plane together and there's no better feeling than freefalling for a few minutes. As grandpa would question, "I don't know why anyone would jump out of a perfectly good airplane" but it was still such an awesome adventure!

TRIP TO ITALY

We went to Italy last year for our 5 year anniversary. Ty served his mission there so it was nice to have someone that knew the area and how to speak the language. We saw some people from his mission at church and we were chapparoned around by a guy in Ancona that Ty was friends with.

This is us in Venice, what a beautiful place! There were boats and water instead of cars and streets. Crazy, but really cool. Very romantic city, eating by the water ways and the lights on the water at night.

Here I am at the Colesseum in Rome. We spent a lot of time walking and using the bus system. Everything was just so old that it was absolutely amazing!

MARATHON #1

TOP OF UTAH

Since we've been married we've ran 3 marathons together. Here we are finishing our first marathon hand in hand. It's really a neat experience I've decided to push yourself to the point that you hate running only to love it the second you finish. . . .odd though. 2 out of the 3 marathons I've actually ran pregnant (not far along though) and the one time I wasn't pregnant I had had a baby 3 months earlier. Yeah , definitely need to work on my timing.

GRADUATION FROM USU

Another accomplishment that I don't have any good pictures of to put on here (Ty decided to go skiing instead of walk for graduation) is we both graduated from Utah State University. Ty got his Master's in Computer Science and I finished in 2003 with my Bachelor's in Biochem Engineering.
