More San Fran

We went and got a Hot Fudge Sunday at Ghirardelli square. Up above where we got the sunday was this beautiful little fire pit on a balcony. We asked the girl if we could sit up there and she said that it wasn't part of Ghirardelli, but it was a hotel. So we were determined to get up there anyways. We found a doorway that said service personel only, we figured that we give a lot of service, so the door was meant for us. We followed it and we throught a couple different flights of stairs and doors until it opened up to the hotel and we walked right onto the deck and enjoyed our sunday in the heat of the fire pit. Beautiful! Tucker and I are bound to get ourselves in trouble one of these days, but for now, we will keep enjoying the adventures!
We went up to the Watch Tower just before sunset. It was a perfect time to catch the day light and night time views.

On Presidents day we planned to go into San Fran again, but we got side tracked playing with my cousins. We played all sorts of games and had lots of fun laughs. Thanks to the Davis family who let Tucker and I crash their place for a few days!

Valentine's Day

This dog guy suckerd us into taking a picture with his dogs, then asked Tucker for $10 after wards. Of course Tucker couldn't turn him down. His dogs were tired and starving. I sat down as well, and we took a picture, but that little dog in the middle kept growling at me like he was going to bite!

On the boat back, I wanted to stand on the front like in Titanic

Tucker striking his favorite pose. He didn't think I could take the picture as quick as I did. His comment right after was, "oh great, your gonna put that on the blog aren't you?" So I had to keep my promise

Swinging on the cells
Goofy Head Set Couple, the audio tour was pretty good. I think I liked the old lady ranger story teller the best though.

I think I went a little crazy in my two minutes in the cell
Tucker does a pretty good crazy expression, I think the head phones are a nice touch

For Valentines day, Tucker and I went to Alcatraz then spent the rest of the day walking around on the peer. Some have criticized Tucker for not being more romantic for Valentines day, but it was my best Valentines day ever. It was a beautiful day with a little rain, which I love!

Its Official!







Yesterday, Tucker and I got officially engaged. He proposed right after this video was taken. Really sweet. I am super excited and very thankful that I get to be with him. He picked this ring out without any insight from me, except that I didn't want a diamond. Love him.

Hot Pots, in Spanish Fork






One of the things on my list to do while tucker was in was to go to the warm springs in Spanish Fork. We planned on the hike being 2.5 miles each way. When we got there at 6pm the road was blocked off. There were a bunch of other people there who were deciding whether or not to make the trek. They said it added another 4 miles at least. It was probably around 5 or six more. So our 5 mile hike turned into a 14 mile + hike. Good thing we brought 1 nalgine, and halls caugh drops, and we hadn't eaten since breakfast. Made it super adventurous. We went with my cousin Aric, who Tucker stayed with while in town. It was well worth the hike!!

Last of the beard



This is the last day that Tucker had his beard. It was super handsome, but he had to visit his bishop the next day and since his bishop thinks you can't go to the temple if you have a beard, we thought the right thing to do would be to shave it off. He was going to have to shave it to go back to work anyway.

Night in Park City/ Sundance








Last Wed. we got to go to Sundance and hang out with friends from law school. We had a lot of fun, but the movie was horrible, so that was a let down. After a few minutes of being out in the cold I realized that I definitely wore the wrong coat and Tucker switched with me so I could have his down. He looked damn sexy in my skin tight jacket.

Snowboarding, Ski bowl





Nathan, the pickle, Chris Hodges on skies, Patrick the tall one and Tucker and I all up at the top of the mountain, it was a beautiful day of skiing!

Birthday Fun







I got to spend my Birthday with my family, and Tucker and his Brother Patrick. We had a lot of fun doing a lot of nothing and everything. Hailey and mom did a combined effort with Hailey making the cake and mom throwing together the best frosting ever. I am now officially 28, getting up there, but it feels pretty good.

Tucker's Beard Progression








Tucker has had the chance to grow his beard out this break while he is not having to work for a while. I for one am a BIG FAN!
