Mission Reunion

2009-04-05T12:44:00.000-07:00

We had a mission reunion this weekend. It was fun to go see some old friends and introduce everyone to Amanda. I love my President! He got released early because of cancer. As of the day before the reunion, the doctor gave him a clean bill of health. It was awesome to see him again.

Here is my "greenie" Scott Ethington.

Derek Nelson and Coleman Nelson. I served with Coleman for a combined 6 months of my mission. Love that guy.

After the reunion, we went back to Amanda's apartment and played Catch Phrase with her roomate Kate and Coleman came with us too. It was fun.

We made some ka-bobs for dinner and they were LEGIT!!! Amanda added to this deliciousnes with a great salad and LaRee came to enjoy as well.

Soon to be brother and sister, doing some bonding over a hair cut.

Daniel dedicated this haircut to Rocklin. Although, Daniel is nowhere near as cute as that man.

Five Guys...

2009-03-30T22:58:00.000-07:00

Here in Orem, they opened up a Five Guys Burgers and Fries and the Grand Opening was today. So we got 4 couple together and went out. Adam & Amanda, Daniel & Melissa, Aaron & Megan, and Craig & Candace (a really cool couple in Aaron and Megan's ward). And no we weren't leaving Kevin out, he was doing his own work on a date of his own.

Here is mine and Amanda's new camera we got. We were talking and realized that we did not have a camera to take pictures on our honeymoon! So, I went to Costco and changed that! Coach Young, Dale, and Brad coaching to Flash to victory on Friday night.

Stephen really loves Daniel. Well, all guys for that matter. Suprised he's getting married soon....to a girl. haha, love ya Steve!

I really am happy to be with Amanda although my face in this picture might say otherwise.

About to listen to the National anthem.

Here are just a few pictures that I took with the new camera. This one was taken just right outside our apartment.

This was taken while driving home in the car. I love the new camera, it takes awesome pictures.

Shandy Date

2009-03-01T12:07:00.000-08:00

Our "shandy date" began with a dinner at the BYU Creamery. Not gonna lie, the food was pretty good! And if anybody has had the ice cream there, it is SO good. Then we went to the Wilkinson Center at BYU and went bowling. All of the pictures we took are obviously from bowling. After bowling, we went back to our house to play some games: Boggle, Apples to Apples, and Bananagrams. Enjoy the pictures!

Adam and Amanda

2009-02-03T20:01:00.000-08:00

Daniel's Birthday at Taconos

2008-11-09T20:08:00.000-08:00

Last night we went to Taconos for the 24th celebratin of Daniels birth. A big group of friends went and had an awesome time. The waiters/waitresses came out and sang a birthday song in Portuguese and played a big bongo drum for the birthday boy. He was definantely the man of the night. Enjoy the pictures...

BIG NEWS!!!

2008-11-09T20:04:00.000-08:00

.....just kidding.

McCain and Palin

2008-11-02T20:20:00.000-08:00

Thursday night was a Cougarette Halloween party that my friend Heidi invited me to. She had the great idea of being Sarah Palin and John McCain. I'd say we had the best costumes there!!

Halloween

2008-11-02T20:16:00.000-08:00

Here are a few pictures from Halloween this year. Kevin took the prize (or gold medal if you will) for the best costume...Michael Phelps. haha. We went to a few parties that night and had a good time. Enjoy...

This is actually the house that we went in to. One of the girls found this picture.

Ward Halloween Party/Haunted House

2008-10-28T15:10:00.000-07:00

Monday night we had our ward halloween party. Kevin was a 70's guy and I was a Utah Flash basketball player. Daniel was going to dress up as well but he had to work until 7:00 so he didn't have time to dress up. We have a real cool ward and had a good time. Afterwards, me and Kevin went to this abandoned house in Spanish Fork with these two girls we know. It was sweet. The house is real, real old. All the doors/windows are shut closed and boarded up. One of the doors was slightly opened on the main level so we were able to get in. It was pretty creepy in there but honestly it wasn't all that scary. We walked around and explored each room. We went downstairs but to get down you had to go down these spiral stairs that creeked so loud when you stepped on them. Then when we got down there it was like a dungeon. Real small and surrounded by brick. And there were some chains hanging from the celing....creepy?? Then we went up upstairs (where the urban legen is that this girl hung herself after watching her dad murder her boyfriend downstairs) and walked around up there too. What was the scariest part was when we were going to go back downstairs. All 4 of us stopped becasue we heard something downstairs. And we all looked and listened as, I SWEAR, something was moving downstairs. The girls got pretty scared. Kevin was leading the pack and said, "Adam get up here". So, I go to the front with Kevin and we go down the stairs really thinking that we were going to have to "D-bo" or regualte on someone or something! Luckily there was nothing down there. But regardless, one of the girls that was with us was crying and freaking out! I have never seen anyone so scared! But, we got out of there pretty fast and headed home. It was a good time.

"THE QUEST"

2008-10-28T15:00:00.000-07:00

Saturday was the BYU vs. UNLV game. It was actually the closest home game we've had all year. We sit with a big group of friends and love going to the games. Sometimes we feel like if the four of us were on the field we would beat teams like TCU, haha. Kevin always reminds us, "I do still have one more year of eligibility". So, maybe next year you'll be looking for #52, #12, #48, and #59.....

Updating the Blog

2008-09-28T19:17:00.001-07:00

This post is to apologize for the two week gap with no posts. "Blogging" really isn't the easiest thing to do. With school, work, dating, and whatever else comes up, blogging sometimes falls to the bottom of the list. But we will try and do better.

Adam updating the blog on his laptop.

Sunday Night Dinner...again

2008-09-28T19:00:00.000-07:00

We love Sunday evening dinners with friends so much that we decided to have another one. We promise that we will put more on our blog then Saturday football and Sunday dinner! But it does make for a good weekend. We had an apartment of girls over for dinner along with Megan and Aaron. Enjoy the pictures......

Gettin ready to grub!

Kevin trying to impress the ladies by playing the guitar

Daneil trying to "do work" with all the ladies that came over.

Just hanging out after a delicious meal. "Swordfighting" as we call it.

The mature married couple...Brother and Sister Young.

Thanksgiving? No, but just as good. The 3 of us made the pork and the other sides were all brought by everyone that came. We all pitched in and it turned out right.

Danica, LaRee, and Rachel.

Sunday Dinner

2008-09-14T19:23:00.001-07:00

If you go to Costo you will find a $12 pre-seasoned pork loin that will feed around 8. So, we went ahead and had some fellow ward members over for a delicious sunday meal. Doesn't really compare to a traditonal sunday meal from Jody but it was close. Here are a few pictures...

Saturday Football

2008-09-14T15:13:00.000-07:00

Saturday was full of football. We woke up early for our flag football team practice, followed by the demolishing of UCLA from BYU live at Lavell Edwards Stadium, and finally putting the new TV to use by watching numerous college football games including our own Georgia Bulldogs.
