Jumped on the Band Wagon

So, I finally jumped on the band wagon & decided to actually post on this blog!! I have had this blog since July, '07 & have done nothing with it, but I realized during my stay in Utah that I have all these photos I want to share, so here's our trip in a few pics.

We have been in Utah for 3 1/2 weeks & have done many things & had lots of fun! We have seen plenty of family, a few friends, & have taken hundreds of photos! Here are a few of the highlights in pictures! We originally had 4 weddings & a farewell, but I got sick & was unable to attend one of the weddings. Ryan went & said it was great. He came to visit us for a weekend & I don't think he recognized us with our haircuts!!
