Happenings of our lives

So my best friend, Chase, got married on June 13th to Amy.  It was a fun wedding.  I was a groomsman.  They got married in the Salt Lake Temple.  After the wedding at the temple, they had a luncheon for family and friends and we were invited to it.  They had some good food there.  Then after that, they had the reception which Emily and I stayed the whole time for so we could see them off.  The next morning, Emily and I went to the airport and met them there before the flew off to CA for a cruise.  We took their car back to Orem (to their Mom’s house).  A week after that, I went to the airport and picked up Chase (Amy stayed in San Diego because that is where they are going to live for a while) and took him back to his car.  He’s a good friend; we’ve already played a lot of xbox together…

Chase and I went backpacking up Rock Canyon. We reached Lightning ridge (we think). We were at an elevation of something like 10000 feet. The trail was only about 6 miles but we gained about a mile in elevation change. That means on average it’s about a 15% grade. It was pretty intense at the end. Near the end, we started having snakes lying across the trail. Chase was a good buddy and got a stick and threw them off the trail for me. Everything was so pretty, I want to go again next year.
