Dog Walk Gone BAD!!

Nate and I decided that Sunday we should take our dogs on an adventure. We found a park that has a trail that dogs can go and dogs are allowed to be off leash. We were really excited. We got there and the dogs were so excited. The trail follows a creek. Our dogs LOVE water. They swim anywhere. So, needless to say, they were stoked. At first sight of the water, they were gone!

Scout and Grits just hanging out in the creek.

At the end of the trail we decided to just let the pups play for a minute. Nate took a minute to call his mom back. I decided to sit on a perfect log that was right near the stream. WORST CHOICE EVER. After only sitting for a minute or so, I remember hearing Nate say "BEES!?" He hung up the phone quickly with his mother. I began to run. There were bees all over me! Even in my shirt. I probably ran for like 40 yards, stopped freaking out for a sec, only to realize there were still bees chasing me!! I started running again and screaming this time, i was SO FREAKED OUT! I slowed down again, only to realize there was still a bee in my shirt. AH! I began to realize I had been stung several times. I got stung twice under my chin and on my left arm. I also got stung right where my forehead stops and my hair starts. It hurt so bad, so I had Nate check it out. The freaking stinger from that dang bee was still in my head. Worst Dog Walking Ever.
Kinda random but about a week ago someone was talking about bees, and i though to myself "i forgot what it feels like to get stung by a bee.." NOT ANYMORE.
Nate did not get stung, but I am pretty sure that Scout and Grits got stung. They were rolling around in the grass. Who knows, I felt SO BAD.

We decided to go home after this great ordeal. On the way out we passed a dam. Scout wanted to get in so bad he jumped off the dam to the part below. That dog is freaking crazy!

Almost back to the car. While I was running, I dropped Grits' leash, so we had to hold her the last bit of the way when it turns back into an on leash park. Oh well, hopefully our next outing will be better than this. It should not be too hard :)

Lake Powell with my pal

Rose and I were able to go to Lake Powell about 2 weeks ago. It was really fun! We had a blast. The only sad part was that Nate was unable to come with us. Anyway, here are a few pictures! Enjoy!

Rose and I stuck in traffic on the way to Powell


Best In-laws ever!! Thanks for a great trip mom and dad!


Me and Rose, we hiked up a hill near the houseboat. It was beautiful!

a year ago today

A year ago today Nate proposed to me on the grounds of the Birmingham Alabama temple. I could not have been happier to say yes. I had known for a while that I was going to marry him, but I did not know he even had a ring the day he proposed. Here are a few pictures that we took that night we got engaged. Time sure does fly when you are having fun!

Nate, you are the best! I can hardly remember life without you! XO

are you happy now megan? :)
