I got really lucky when I married Andrew because I also gained the coolest in-laws. Seriously – I scored big time! Hannah, one of Andrew’s sisters, is one of the most talented people I know. She plays a mean piano and sings better than 99% of the people I personally know. To top it…

Weekend Highlights:
Andrew and I checked out the the Salt Lake City Farmers Market, something I’ve wanted to do since last August. Now that we have less than two weeks in Utah, I realized it was our last chance. I was blown away by the number of people that were there. We enjoyed looking at all of…
Zion Part 3
The last day of our trip had a few highlights that need mentioning: We slept WAY in. For me that was 9. For Andrew that was 11. As we were approaching Toquerville going north on 1-15, there was a lot of smoke. We quickly discovered that there was a fire in the median between the…
Zion Part 2
Just north of the main part of Zion National Park is Kolob Canyons, a much less visited part of the park. There is a hike that takes you to a spot where you can view Kolob Arch, the 2nd longest natural arch in the world. Andrew is a very seasoned hiker and has hiked nearly…
Zion Part 1
June 11 Andrew and I started our Zion’s trip at 9:50 am – 10 minutes ahead of schedule! We made a stop at Sams Club to get gas and a box of cheese-its (hiking food we didn’t end up eating). When we walked in the front door it was the end of business hours so…
Weekend Highlights:
•Andrew finished his first year of teaching! Memorable part of the experience? Having students yell “Mr. Jackson” in the hallways (and many other public places around town) and give high-fives. Clearly this was a trademark because the cards that he brought home from students either mentioned or illustrated high-fives. •Beginning this household’s 3-week summer vacation!…
Tyler and Jessie
I had the wonderful opportunity to take pictures with Tyler and Jessie last week in the beautiful and warming Utah weather. I’ve known Tyler for almost 3 years, as he is Andrew’s cousin and former roommate, and it is fun to share in the excitement of his engagement to an incredible girl! Here are a few photos…
Elder Moose
I dropped my brother, Derick, off at the MTC this Wednesday, May 29th at 1:15 pm. While I am glad I will never again have to drop Derick off at the MTC curb and say good-bye for two years, I know that he is exactly where he needs to be. In less than two weeks…
