10 miles in and ten miles out! I carried 30lb and John had 45lb. It was so hard and so much fun! We got to camp right next to the river and for the two days we were down there we just played in the river and it was awesome! Can't wait to go backpacking again.
Tomorrow morning we start school and usually I’m really excited to start school but for the first time I’m not stoked. But I’m pretty sure the majority of the reason that I’m not really excited has nothing to do with school and everything to do with John.
As soon as school starts it seems like that is when real life is going to kick in. These last 5 months we have spent together have been an amazing separate reality. We have played, loved, laughed, and played some more. We literally have spent every possible moment we possibly could together. With every day we have made more memories and have fallen deeper and deeper in love.
Now for the first time we will have less time to spend with each other because of school, studying, we both have jobs, callings, and my dancing. I’m anticipating it to be really hard to not be able to see John all the time but I’m hoping it won’t be as bad as I think. But I know we are strong and will make it through.
I love John with my whole heart and will fight everyday to keep us going and to make it work. He is an amazing man trying so hard to be and to encompass all the good he can into his life and others. I truly am more than lucky, I am so blessed to have John. I know I tell you all the time but I really and honesty do love you John Wilde.
Chelsie woke me up with a text that said, "I've got you today." With no further arguments, I simply consented to her will:). She told me to be ready with church clothes, casual clothes, and possibly running shoes. With only a bathing suit to spare from my entire wardrobe, she picked me up and we started heading north to a temple neither of us had been to. It was the Jordan Temple! It was really pretty inside and out! 
After that, she took me on this incredibly beautiful drive up to Albian Basin (a enchanting wildlife preserve in the summer months, and an epic ski resort during snow season.) Chelsie worked on her photography skills
while I worked on my God given modeling talents. 
Yeah, she's basically the best ever!
After that, she took me to Salt Lake--See 31. Conference Center Tour/Walk around the Temple
We have now completed this task more than once. We ended up watching my sister’s kids Brooklyn and Carter for the whole afternoon while Tiffany worked at Costco. We played with the kids here at my apartment for a few minutes before we took them to the park by Kiwanis. They loved it! Brooklyn is adorable because she will start to do something or climb something and then get scared halfway up and then she’s like, “I don’t think this is a good idea for me, will you help me down.” It happened over and over again. And then there was Carter who even though he’s two years younger he just trekked up and down everything. A few times he would jump to something expecting me or John to catch and help him but he wouldn’t wait to see if you were watching or not. That kid is fearless! Next we went to see How to Train a Dragon at the dollar theater. That was great! We came home made food and just played until Tiffany came to get them. They can be crazy and rambunctious kids but they are so sweet and I love them so much!
So Chelsie decided to surprise me by taking me to the Salt Lake temple and Conference Center.
Our cooking skills have gotten better and better as we keep trying new things. This is one of my favorite things to do with John! I absolutely love cooking and even cleaning up the kitchen with him. Who knew cleaning could be enjoyable. Then again John makes almost anything enjoyable! So far we’ve made homemade pizza, minestrone soup, beef brisket, chicken pot pie and who knows what else!
