But don't be concerned we really LOVE each other!

Our first drink together!!! Jones soda...and they were personalized with our picture on the front!! so COOL!

A week ago Eric and I received a phone call from Eric's brother Eli letting us know Eric's cousin, Zeke, had a little boy that was hurt in a freak accident. Eric and I rushed over to Primary Children's hospital and were saddened by what we saw. The little 4 year old boy was on life support. He was hooked up to so many tubes and machines; completely heartbreaking. Well the little boy didn't make it through the night. :( Sunday, the little boy's family wanted to hike up to Bridalveil Falls in Provo, and do something in memory of little Trevyn. So Eric and I left church a little early to go on the hike. When we got there we all took a balloon and wrote a little message to him, and then we hiked up the trail where a poem was read in his memory, and then the balloons were all released together at once. It was so touching how strong the family was, and to see how many friends showed up to support the Longstroths'.

ERIC AND THE VIEW!

Some of who came out for the hike

With my balloons ready for the hike

Together Forever, what could be a better feeling? :)

Up towards the top of the falls. You can't see our feet but we were standing on the edge of a cliff!

It's so good to know that we were sealed to each other for time and all eternity, and know matter what happens in the future we will be reunited with our loved ones someday. :)

Eric's Spontaneous Birthday Weekend!

Spontaneity!!! Yes thats what this weekend was all about. Thursday I worked half a day, and when I got home Eric and I were sitting around...kinda bored....and I said..."ya know what we should do? Pack right now and go to Star Valley for the weekend." He looked at me and said sure, and within 30 min. we were packed and out the door, in the car, and headed to the Valley. We snuck in through the garage when we got there and surprised his parents and 2 of his nieces. We also had another first this weekend... the first time we've ever slept in the same room at his parents house. For 2 years we have been sleeping in different rooms, even on different floors of the house most times hahaha so it was fun finally staying together. We also had the privilege of being woken up by his niece in the morning hahaha. Anyways, friday was our one month anniversary and Eric wanted to go golfing in the morning so I drove the golf cart!

Gorgeous Course

He was probably thinkin, "Les...no more!" haha

He didn't do as well as he wanted

So later in the afternoon we went on a four wheelin ride with his mom and dad and nieces. It was so fun!!!! And such a pretty ride through the mountains. I had the two girls take turns riding with me...and we had a blast!

Me and Maddie on the 4 Wheeler

Just a little Dirtay!

The next morning we went and cheered on Susan, Greg, Megan, and Kim at their 1/2 Marathon. It was the very first Star Valley Marathon and we were so excited to go watch their accomplishment. I was going to run, but it was too late to register when I got there :( so sad, but I'll be their next year for sure. They all did so great, and we had fun getting the girls up and ready for the morning too!

Greg did sooooo good! He got first in his age division!

We were the cheerleaders!

Our runners coming towards the finish line!!!

YAY!!! They made it!!

They were so tired!!!

Aww..we love each other!!!
