Happy 25th Amos!

Amos was in Florida this year for his birthday, which means that he had a wonderful time celebrating on the sunny beach with warm water, and enjoying an expensive meal at the Cheesecake Factory - all company expense. Not too shabby!

We celebrated when he came home this weekend - however, this michevious Hobby dug in this morning before I got a chance to take a picture. Here's the birthday boy with his partially-eaten cookie cake he requested this year!

Hanging Out at the Park

...Zion's National Park! We got a chance to do one of the things on my Utah Bucket List - go hiking through the Slot Canyons at Zions. Amos and I went down for the weekend and spent Saturday hiking and Sunday relaxing down in St. George. The hike we went on was a very flat hike, up a river (of cold knee-high water) to where the canyon gets really narrow. It is a breathtaking hike, and a great way to spend a warm afternoon.
And on our way home we stopped by the St. George Temple
And even more amazing, we did the whole trip for the cost of park admission, plus gas, plus $2.75 for food. Yep, $2.75. Amos had a gift card for Outback and when we got there we ordered an appetizer, a salad, and a dessert to-go and ended up not being very hungry and making all of it last us the whole few days. (minus our stop to In & Out Burger on the way home - mmm greasy hamburgers) And thanks to the Timms we had nice (and free) accommodations (with HGTV) and pool access - sweet!

Official Announcement...

We are moving to the East Coast! Amos has been assigned to manage the NY, PA, and NJ territories for DealerSocket. We are very excited and have been looking for houses in either NJ or PA and are planning a trip to go out and look in early July. There are so many things in Utah we will miss *ahem*Cafe Rio. (just kidding, but serious at the same time :), but so many things we look forward to about going East. We will be here for a bit longer and could end up heading out in the fall. I am very anxious to do a lot before we leave- like hike the Y, hike Timp, go to the hot pots, go "shooting the tube" again, picnicking in the canyon, going to the drive-in movie, etc. If you are up for doing any of these things with me/us, let me know and let's go!
