This is the Place

Dallas Temple

Fruit Punch

2007-02-23T07:25:00.000-08:00

So.... on the way home when we were driving in the car, I remember looking down and seeing Megan's hand with a ring on her finger and thinking....wow, this is like...official. It was the first time that it really hit me. So I decided it would be a great time to take a picture of the Fruit Punch carton.

Yeah buddy... meet the fiance

2007-02-23T07:23:00.000-08:00

So..... I like this picture. This is actually the only part of the hike that Megan wore her ring b/c she was too afraid it was going to fall off her hand down a cliff and that I would jump off the cliff after it. So maybe that was a good idea. Fiance is SUCH a cooler word than girl/boyfriend.

Will you.....

2007-02-23T07:21:00.000-08:00

So this isn't really where it happened, but..... you get the idea. I'm pretty sure the real thing wasn't as..... poised, but the important part is that she said yes.

Pondering

2007-02-23T07:20:00.000-08:00

Megan interrupted my moment of deep reflection and solace to take this picture.

Ahhh... finally lunch

2007-02-23T07:19:00.000-08:00

So we had a sweet view for our picnic lunch. Which was almost as good as the 14 inch long sandwich we had...mmmm boy.

Funny photographer

2007-02-23T07:18:00.000-08:00

Brent made us laugh

Livin life on the edge

2007-02-23T07:16:00.000-08:00

This is Brent's all-time favorite place to take pictures. It's on the edge of a cliff that's about 900 feet!!! The picture doesn't do it much justice but it is a long ways down and it's a little nerve-wrecking. Although you might think we're smiling here, we're actually giving one of those nervous laughs like....."haha, hurry up and take this picture before we lose it".

Checkin out the View

2007-02-23T07:14:00.000-08:00

This is the first glimpse we caught of the majestic view from the top of the hike. You can see the ridge we hiked up to finish the hike in the left center of the picture right behind us. We were about 3/4 of the way finished with the hike here. So I decided it was a perfect time to practice my headlock manuever.

Cave exploration

2007-02-23T07:12:00.000-08:00

Random picture Brent took of us while we were doing some cave exploration.

The ring

2007-02-23T06:23:00.000-08:00

So here's the ring...... It obviously looks a lot better when she's wearing it.

RHS Alumni

2007-02-21T09:20:00.000-08:00

Megan and I dressed up on the old HS gear to go watch the Bombers homecoming game on our trip to WA.

Road Trip

2007-02-21T09:19:00.001-08:00

Here's the road trip crew. From L to R, Kate, Brent, Megan and Blake.

2007-02-21T09:19:00.000-08:00

Someone caught us on a candid camera after a jog one day....oopsies

BRRRR

2007-02-19T09:24:00.000-08:00

We decided to do a little Columbia River float despite the sub-ideal water temperatures. It was fun though

I don't know why she likes me sometimes

2007-02-18T09:25:00.000-08:00

I was wearing a sweet outfit right here, Megan thought it was kinda funny that I was wearing some of her clothes.

Col Riv. Temple

2007-02-17T09:26:00.000-08:00

Here's the Columbia River Temple. I took this picture this summer during a lightning storm. The Temple is about 2 blocks from my house!

The Twins

2007-01-23T10:14:00.000-08:00

Ally (red) and Caroline (Blue), are Megan's twin nieces. The first day I went to visit Texas, I started to take one of their pictures, and it turned into a mini-photoshoot/the beginning of the twins modeling careers. They were surprisingly good, and they REALLY liked people taking their picture for some reason (perhaps because their mother REALLY likes to blog). They were an "inspiration" to me...... you can ask Megan about that.

Trip to California

2007-01-23T10:09:00.000-08:00

Megan invited me to go to California for Thanksgiving for the first familial filter. Jacob and Jonah (Megan's Nephews) quickly became my buddies and they enjoyed whomping on me. Jacob got baptized the day before we left and we were glad we could be there to see him.

Fall Football

2007-01-23T10:04:00.000-08:00

So BYU Football was actually good this year, and we had a ton of fun at the games, except that they were usually blowouts by the 2nd quarter. Our season ticket seats were right next to Michelle's so we saw her quite a bit at the games, usually with about 3 or 4 guys fighting for her attention. Megan and Michelle's favorite player was McKay Jacobsen, I'm told it's just because he's from Texas, but I have my suspicions.

Sneaky

2007-01-23T10:01:00.000-08:00

Megan really likes it when I scare her, and this particular occasion she was waiting impatiently for me to go and get my camera from my apartment before a football game, I snuck up on her just before she lost her patience and left without me.

Bowling Prodigy

2007-01-23T09:58:00.000-08:00

Despite me taking a bowling class last semester, Megan beats me regularly.

Not a Cowboy

2007-01-23T09:53:00.000-08:00

I'm not a cowboy....but Megan is slowly trying to convince me that I'm a Texan.

Dad's favorite soccer player

2007-01-23T09:52:00.000-08:00

Aside from almost being ejected from 3 games for "rough play", Megan was the best player on her intramural soccer team last semester.

Home sweet home.

2007-01-23T09:50:00.000-08:00

BYU Fall - Megan and I will see a few of these together.... we're gonna be here for a little while longer unfortunately!

Story Time

2007-01-23T09:41:00.000-08:00

Megan had never read "The Monster at the End of This Book", so we decided to have a bedtime story one night.

General Conference

2007-01-23T09:40:00.000-08:00

We took this when Megan and I listened to General Conference on the radio and we had a picnic in the canyon. It was beautiful weather that day.

An official representative

2007-01-23T09:38:00.000-08:00

He officially represents all of us now, for better or for worse.

Missionary Man

2007-01-23T09:37:00.000-08:00

Here's Brandon the Day he entered the MTC.

Meet the Fam

2007-01-23T09:34:00.000-08:00

From L to R, Kyle (16), Brandon (19), Ken, (approx 30), Karen (approx 30-2), Jessica, (Brian's wife), Brian (24), and Blake. We're in order of best looking to worst from front to back. This was after our family went to the temple on family portrait day.

Meet the Bro's

2007-01-23T09:31:00.000-08:00

So here are my two little I mean younger brothers. Kyle is the one who is giving the love tap, Brandon is receiving it.
