Peach Days & Derbys!

Brigham City had their yearly Peach Days celebration this last weekend. We love Peach Days and I've gone every year since I've lived in Logan. My old roommate's family has a peach cobbler stand that we get cobbler from and it's SO yummy!

There were some pretty sweet old cars at the car show!

The typical fruit stand thing... (it's supposed to be a truck)

We were torn between going to the USU game and the All Truck Demolition Derby Saturday night.... the Derby won!

During the second heat one of the trucks got pinned up parallel to the dirt wall and another truck came at full speed and rammed them, resulting in the pinned truck flipping over the wall and landing on the roof. Every one was excited at first until we realized that the driver was stuck upside down.... after the "jaws of life" and like 45 minutes later the driver was freed and taken to the hospital in the ambulance. I was worried that he was seriously injured, but he was waving his arm on his way out so I think that meant he was ok ha ha. Exciting but scary!

Pretty much make the number one on my top demolition derby list. Following the previous excitement, we had a couple exploding cars as well...

and the top the night off (and end it abruptly)... rain started to pour and the lights shut off! Ha ha! What an exciting night!

We sat in the rain for a bit hoping that the lights would come back on, but we eventually gave up and left. Super fun night though!

*Speaking of Trucks.... ours has been quite expensive lately.... just days before registration expired we got a rock chip that spread over 6 inches within an hour or so. We didn't even have a chance to fix it, thus resulting in us having to fork out the money for a new windshield. Now only weeks after that incident, I got a text from Jeff yesterday saying that the truck won't turn right... hmm, yeah sounds like a problem.

Anyway long story short, our front right shock broke, bending some steering rod or something. We sucked it up and forked out the money, but phew! We sure hope that's it for awhile.

Such is the Life of a Pilot's Wife

So I've been without my other half these past two days. He's been up in Yellowstone working a little second job. He's explained it to me a few times, but I still don't know exactly what they do and what for... all I know is that they fly around an area and take thermal pictures of the ground. What I do know though is that it is a great source of some extra bonus money which is always nice :)

So he's been up in Yellowstone the past couple days and should be coming home soon, and I have missed him terribly. It's our first time being away from each other since being married. Despite it being not so fun, it is good practice for the many years to come. As a pilot's wife, having my husband gone for days at a time will be the norm. Of course every career has its up and downs, but on the flip-side... He will also be home for days at a time! What's great though is that you can be thousand of miles away from someone and still see them and talk to them via facetime and skype! Sure does make it easier.

Hurry up 5 o'clock! I miss my Man!

PS... YAY for Fridays!!!

Labour Day Weekend

On Friday night we flew down to Provo with a flight student and his wife! He was in need of hours and long-distance trips and they wanted to visit family, so I hopped along for the ride! We spent a couple hours hanging out with my bro Chris. After yummy burgers and pie shakes, and some brief moments at a free concert, it was time to head back to the airport.

It was a fun little Friday night adventure. I love to go flying with Jeff, especially during this time of year everything is so pretty from up above, Cache Valley in particular!

Provo airport

On Saturday we did our usually exploring/off-roading favorite activity in the afternoon, and found a new trail that we loved! It was quite pretty.

Monday morning we woke up and decided... "hmm... let's go climb a mountain!"

Soooo we did!! :)

You wouldn't believe how many wildflowers there still are up there!

They were beautiful!

Finally reached the peak of Mt. Naomi! (in Logan Canyon)

Surrounded by a beautiful view, snow, and surprisingly... cows! ha ha

View of Cache Valley

See all the little wildflowers?! They were even at full bloom at the very top of the mountain! So colorful.

One week down....

Well I've made it through the first week of school.... and it is definitely going to be a very busy semester. But the good news is only two more semesters to go!! Yay! I usually enjoy the classes that I have to take for this major, but ....Social Policy? ...and Psychological Statistics....? Not so much. It will be good though.

Aside from classes, the first week of school is always the greatest. They've got things going on all day everyday. The best part is.... FREE STUFF! :) Free snow cone, free pens, free candy, free bags, free root beer float, free chick-fill-a sandwich, free hotdog, and best of all, Free Aggie Ice Cream TWO days in a row! Totally awesome. In addition to free stuff they had activities going every night. We only made it to the movie on Old Main Hill, which is always fun to go. They showed Thor on a big screen.

While I'm on the topic of my Aggies... football is looking good this year.. a.k.a. our new Freshman QB is looking good this year! We were kind of depressed after losing that game to Auburn on Saturday, but we played well and I think it'll be a good year for the Aggies!

Love my Aggies :)
