The gals in my family have created a blog (with inspiration from a family friends idea) with recipes that we'd love to share with you all! We're also planning on inviting my mom's side of the family (hence the wiser name) to contribute recipes as well! Hope to all can check it out and enjoy! It's located on my friends list under Wiser Recipes!

Catching Up!

Ok so it's been forever since either of us have last posted anything, so here goes the catching up!

September - after our anniversary we went with my family to Eugene, OR to visit my sister Amanda, who lives there, and to watch the Utes play the Oregon Ducks. It was great to visit where Amanda lives and eat at the wonderful restaurants and watch the game, even though the Utes lost. It's crazy how it rains out there...the rain isn't like real rain, it's more like a really really wet mist. I've never seen anything like it, but I really liked Oregon. We actually missed our flight back to Utah and had to fly out a day later than we had planned, but it was nice because we got to stop at the Portland temple, which was really pretty! I have pictures in the slide show!

October - we drove down to Vegas to watch the Utes play down there with my fam again (minus Amanda). We were only there a couple days, but we had fun and rode the rides at the Stratosphere and New York New York. Well, actually only Missy and I rode the rides at the Stratosphere because everyone else were too wussy to go! There aren't really any pictures because I forgot to take the camera when we went places! Towards the end of the month, Kurtis started feeling sick, and was diagnosed with pnuemonia, so he was down and out over Halloween.

November - December - We stayed home quite a bit. Kurtis still wasn't feeling any better and had been having pains in his stomach that were unbearable. He couldn't eat because the pain would make him so sick. Total he's lost about 30 pounds, which for him isn't good because he doesn't need to lose weight. We finally had to take him to the hospital for the pain, which led us to a CAT scan, which led us to a cyst on his kidney, which wasn't a big deal, but the doctor wanted him to get an ultrasound, which led his physican to want to get the ultrasound on more organs, which led them to find some polyps in his gallbladder, which finally led us to his gallbladder removal surgery. It was quite the recovery time for the poor guy and he's finally starting to get back to his usual self! We were able to go to the Poinsettia bowl to watch the Utes play Cal and it was an AWESOME game!! It was so awesome to see a bowl game and it was nice to go to San Diego for a couple days and go to the zoo and have (although not extremely warm) sunny weather! It was great! Christmas was wonderful and we got to spend time with family, which is nice! We have some good pictures included in the slide show!

January - Ok so now we're getting up to date! Like I said Kurtis is getting his health back and last weekend we went up to Park City to try and see some famous people at Sundance. It was cold, but we still had fun! We only saw two famous people...Rachel Dratch from SNL...she was really nice and Alan Tudyk, who is on movies like 28 days and a Knight's Tale...I like him, but I couldn't get a picture of him because of all the people around. I also went back on weight watchers and I joined a Fit Friends group, where a bunch of gals put in money and weigh in every week for 12 weeks and and there's a first, second and third place gets part of the pot, so it's really helped me stay motivated! I've started to work out during my lunches at work because we have a gym for our personal fitness training students and the gym can be used by employees so I don't have to pay! Score! So far I've lost 9.5 lbs in 3 weeks and I'm stoked! We'll see how it goes!

So that's about all that's been going on in our lives so far so we'll try to keep this up-to-date as much as we can! Enjoy the slideshow!
