Well...

Well it's been awhile since we posted a blog, and people started complaining so we decided to finally sit down and write something. The problem is we went on our little trip and when we got back we were all excited to post all of our vacation photos, but then realized that we left our camera on our vacation, so you won't be getting any pictures, but here's what we've been up to:

The last week in August Caleb took the first portion of the CPA exam! He did a lot of studying, and we think it paid off because he feels like he passed, however he doesn't actually find out for about a month. In the mean time he has moved on with confidence and started studying for the next section.

The day after he took his test we decided he could use a break, so he took a couple weeks off and we went down to Cedar City. It was weird to be back during the first week of school and not be involved in everything, but we're grateful to be done and moved on with our lives.

The first day we went up to the good old town of Hatch and visited Grandma and Grandpa Nash at their new summer home. We rode four wheelers, played with the horses, played hand and foot, went on a tour of the town (that lasted for about 3 minutes), and ate tons of fresh fruit. All in all it was a great little trip.

The next day we went and hiked Angel's Landing with Jake and Ashley. I have always wanted to do this hike for the last 4 years I was at SUU, but we never made it, so Caleb decided to take me, and it was worth the wait! It took us three hours to go approximately 2.5 miles straight up a mountain. (Since we don't have our pictures, here are some from the internet so you can see what we did.)

Here are the switchbacks that you go up until you reach the finally leg of the hike, where you hang onto chains and climb over rocks.

Here is the top of the Angel's Landing that you climb up. Since someone seems to die at least once a summer, we left Corbin at home with Grandma Miller.

As you can see, once you reach it, the view from the top is pretty amazing.

The rest of the trip we spent relaxing with the Millers. We took a trip out to Cross Hallows to see Grandpa Miller one day. Corbin loved playing with Molly, however I don't think Molly loved playing with Corbin. And Caleb finally won a game of Settlers and got to write his name on the box!

We also took some time to drive out and see Harmony's house that was in the parade of homes. For a cool half a million dollars we could have owned it, but decided against it at the last minute.

Overall it was good to get away for awhile and enjoy some time off.

Now we are back to regular life, Caleb is finally done working on his job down in Provo, where they have had him for the last 2 months, so he is excited to move on to a new challenge and to not have drive so far everyday.

"relaxing with the Millers," huh? I'm glad you consider our little "projects" relaxing. That's very comforting, hahahaha, I hope we didn't "relax" you guys too much and wear you out!

Glad you enjoyed Angel's Landing!
