A Little MLB

So Wednesday night Clark got a call from his bandmate/doctor friend Dan who had two extra tickets to the Diamondbacks baseball game. I was supposed to be on standby for work and there was also a Less Than Jake concert to consider, but I called in to work and said take me off standby and Clark took a night off from studying and we actually HAD SOME FUN!! The seats were fairly close to the field and right by third base. Though the Diamondbacks lost it was still a fun time and I am proud to say I attended and attentively watched my first ever MLB game in person! I thought I didn't like baseball but I have slightly more respect for the sport now...

Memories... summer Tour de Europe 2006

So I told Clark that while he's at work today I would start boxing up items in the apartment for our upcoming move....well I get sidetracked easily and I started looking at all the pics we have on the computer and I came across the photos from our European vacation summer 2006. So many good memories!! We can't wait to go on another backpacking adventure!

Rome was spectacular, and the best part was you could walk the entire city in a day! We were able to spend several days in Rome with my brother Scott and his wife Dagmara.








Venice was another amazing city that could easily be walked in a few hours. The canals were so dirty- we dangled our legs over the ledge of a canal and ate lunch and watched garbage of all sorts float by...and we didn't get a gondola ride because the night we wanted to go a World Cup game was on and the workers had their eyes glued to the tv. Europeans take their soccer VERY seriously!

Nice was also a very nice city. We were able to enjoy the Mediterranean and even made some friends to hang out with! We kept running into them at the grocery store and finally they asked "do you guys want to hang out?" they were pretty fun canadians, I would have to admit.

Barcelona was such a cool city with so much structural art. We posed in front of Gaudi's La Sagrada Familia....

And sat on Gaudi's mosiac benches in park Guell.

In Munich we took a picture of a little boy that was fussing and making a complete scene in public. You can see everyone staring and looking but his mom didn't seem to care. It was SO funny!

That's Right Folks, it's FOREVER!

Saturday, June 28th was truly a special day for both Clark and I. Surrounded by family and friends, we were sealed in the Mesa, Arizona Temple!







This day was just incredible. Earlier before heading to the Temple Jan and I went thrift store shopping and scored lots of good stuff! Everything was 50% off at Goodwill! Clark and Karl jammed with one of Clark's bandmates and had a great time! The crew from Utah and Nevada made it down safely and it sounded like they all had a good time traveling together in the green minivan. Thank you to all who took part in our special day! We love you all!






Here are some other pics just for fun




Clark made is spanish rice with chicken. It is so good- he truly has his mother's gift of good family cookin. I had just gotten back from a run that nearly left me dead from heatstroke, but hey, I made it back!












Bishop and Sister Matheson, some of our very favorite people! Mom and Dad Tobler, we ALWAYS have so much fun when you visit (or vice versa)!
