One year ago...

It has been one year ago today since I went on a blind date with Micah. I was a shy girl, yeah I know, hard to believe me shy, but when it came to guys I was. It was a blind date I almost didn't go on because I was going to go to a Sunday school party, besides I was 18 years old, Micah was 26. That is old. He was thinking, she's an 18 year old, young and immature. Little did we know the many things we had in common, from wearing to same shoes, to having the same ringtone and even having the same backgrounds growing up. It wasn't very hard to fall in love with him, but I think it was easier for him to fall in love with me. After seven weeks of dating, seven months of being engaged and three months of marriage we have made it a year. It has been so much fun. Micah is such a wonderful man. I love him sooooo much. Below are pictures of us on our first date.

Canoeing,Wedding, and other exciting times of Micah and Lindy

This weekend we went to Blackfoot for Jonathons Open House. It was fun to get to see family again. On Saturday we went up to Island Park and went canoeing with Jonathon, Alicia and Micah's sister Melodee and her family. It was so much fun. We floated down Henry's Fork. After floating we went over to Mesa Falls. That place is so beautiful. After enjoying the awesome falls and looking in awe, the biggest white trash wedding of the century occured and brought us back down to Earth. It was quite the parth. I think the groom was wearing a Budweiser T-shirt, but to dress it up he had a fancy boutinerre. It was quite hilarious. We were trying to get pictures of it, but it didn't work very well. I don't know why I didn't go and stand over there and make it look like Micah was taking a picture of me. We thought of that after we left. All in all it was a pretty fun weekend. Our last little shebang before school starts. Micah has to go on Thursday, and I start Monday. It should be really exciting!!! (there was a hint of sarcasm) This is Jonathon and Alicia

Salt Lake Trip

This past weekend we went to Salt Lake to Jonathons wedding. Jonathon is Micah's younger brother. To make the trip worth it we left on Thursday. Friday we went to the Salt Lake Temple. It was so beautiful. After that we went on a tour of the conference center. It was the first time that Micah had been in it. I went to a conference session when I was in sixth grade. It was pretty neat to tour that. It was a fascinating building. Later that night we hung out with Micah's family. They are a ton of fun. We had a good time. Saturday was the big wedding. It was the last wedding of the Smith kids. There have been three weddings in their family in the past five months. I bet it was a relief to have the last wedding done. In case you are wondering there are eight kids in Micah's family. All in all it was a good weekend. Congratulations to Jontahon. Good Job Brother. We didn't take pictures, I only have a couple from the whole weekend. I am horrible at remembering my camera. That is about it for now.

Catch Up

So I haven't blogged for a while. I can't really say that it is because we are too busy, I have just been to lazy to do it. I finished school about a week ago, but have to go back in two and half weeks. So I am just enjoying the time off. It is great. We haven't done too much lately. We went fishing the other day and then had a fish fry at my parents house on Sunday. Two weeks ago we went up tp Redfish Lake and Galena. We just went to check out the scenery. Brent and Paige, a couple of Micah's friends came out so we went and toured the country up there. It was really pretty. Other than that Micah has been out of commission. He tore his hamstring really bad a couple of weeks ago playing baseball, so we haven't been able to do much hiking or anything. He says he has to get his leg healed because hunting season is right around the corner. I guess I should enjoy as much time with my husband now, because once hunting season hits it is all I will hear about. Lately it is all I hear about. Everyday he informs me how many days are left until hunting season and how excited he is. I just smile and nod my head. We only have a few weeks of summer left. This weekend Micahs brother is getting married, so we are heading down to Utah tomorrow. That should be fun. Other than that not a whole lot is going on. Below are some pictures overlooking Galena. Enjoy!
