Adams Canyon Hike

First off, thanks to Darcie and Crystal (Please correct me if I spelled her name wrong!) for taking the pictures. I didn't bring a camera.

So we thought it would be fun to take a hike while Darcie and Crystal were up visiting. I looked up some stuff and gotta say that a hike with a waterfall at the end sounded nice since you don't really see a lot of waterfalls in Utah. So that's where we went. Didn't sound too bad from the reviews....wow, it was harder than I thought. We all (well, except super in-shape injured Jared!!) got quite the workout. As I said, Jared....barely sweat! And he was carrying Ellie on his back the whole time! There were some pretty rough parts. Devon took them well. He takes after his dad, was jumping from rock to rock when he could. It was pretty warm that day but luckily, once you got into the trees, it was quite shady and the breeze blowing over the freezing cold stream helped cool you off! The fall leaves were starting to come out too so the colors were lovely. It was work, but the end was reward! Enjoy!


Isn't life crazy?

We're on the job hunt. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. Jared's been looking for jobs for about a week now. He'll be done with his military service in February. We're really hoping to find a job before that. I have faith that he will. We're both scared out of our mind!! Hopefully, this job has been a great blessing for us. It's given Jared 6 years of experience as an instructional designer. We're hoping that helps land a job in the same field.

Last weekend my sister and her friend came to visit. We went on a wonderful, exhausting hike up into the mountains. I'll have to post the pictures soon. Jared's sister also had a baby blessing last weekend. Maddie is just adorable. http://theawesomejohnsons.blogspot.com/ It was fun getting to see all the family even for just a little while.

It'll be sad if we have to move away. We're trying to find jobs close by and keeping our fingers crossed. Oh what a scary ride!!
