Bachelorette Party

Its only been a year since I was having my bachelorette party and being surrounded with friends and girl talk took me back. Remembering the stress and excitement of a new life I wanted Brynn to have a night where she could really relax, laugh and have a good time. With help from Lydia we did just that.
Brynn looked beautiful and so excited to being so close to getting married. I hope she was able to relax and giggle about the best part of being married.

To Old Friends


To My Dear Friends,
The years have been short since our times of adventure and laughter, but our lives have changed and we've become different people then those people who once relied on each other for everything. Military, College, Heartbreaks, Missions Weddings and Death have pulled us to different places.
On my way to see some of your familiar faces today, I realized we won't all be in the same place ever again, we won't be the best friends we once were, we may never have the adventures we once had. I also realized that sometimes people are sent into our lives for a brief moment, to brighten our days, hold our hands, and guide us through the times that only our friends can. Then I realized that sometimes we are brought together again to mourn or rejoice and that even though we've gone our own ways seeing each other can be a comfort and just the warm smile you need.
So I want to tell you all how much I love you and how grateful I am for the times I've needed you and you've been there, the number is to high to count but I will forever hold a place in my heart for each of you.
Thank you.
Sincerely your friend,
Felicity.

Flaming Gorge.






We spent last weekend in Flaming Gorge.
We left thursday evening, we were about 25 miles from rock springs, and 40 miles from flaming gorge when our tire literally flew off! The lug nuts flew off somewhere along the way. When the last nut decided to give out the tire flew about 300 yards to the west and we started flying across the road. My Mom did an amazing job at keeping the car on the road and keeping everyone safe. It stirred us up and we had to wait about 45 minutes before Doug and Rosie came and saved us. Since all our gear was in the car that now had no tire, rotor or brakes we went into rock springs, and stayed the night at la quinta.
Friday was spent fixing the car, we decided since it was labor day weekend we really needed to get up to the lake to get a campsite so we got a rent a car. The only rental cars available were at the rock springs airport( yes, rock springs wyoming has a tiny little airport.) So we got a cab up to the airport. The cab company was called Butterfly Cab, and the cab was covered in butterflies, we thought that was funny until we saw our driver, every inch of his arms were covered in bright butterfly tattoos! As we drove to the airport we came behind a semi truck, all of a sudden our cab driver started growling, then barking as loud as he could at the semi truck driver. Ben and I were in the backseat shocked when he turns to us and simply says "I hate those diesel drivers." We tried our hardest to not laugh and be scared all at the same time.
Finally we arrive safely to the one hanger airport, get our car and are on our way.
Saturday we spend running the green river, we had so much fun! Homemade lunchables for lunch and then another run down the beautiful canyon.
Sunday we take time to relax and enjoy our surroundings, take a hike down to the lake and do a little cliff diving
Monday we pack everything up early in the morning then make one last run down the river, it was beautiful, the weather was perfect and I can't wait to do it again.
