Brigham City...

On the weekend we made or one of many trips down to Brigham City... It's a two hour drive from Provo, so this was our firsy BIG drive in our minivan... Coming from a 2 sedan family, the girls were loving the room.....

And it even has lots of room in the front too......

Which lane will Gaz stay in... He has another 5 to chose from.......

Brigham City is getting their temple bulit at the moment... We were happy to see some of the corner stones up... they have spent months building the underground car park....

But the real reason we come to Brigham is... to see one off the nicest couple in the world....

Wesley and Norma Marble, they were serving a mission in Adelaide the same time Gary was... We have been lucky enough to visit them a couple of times before and they were so happy when we told them that we would be moving closer to them for a while...

We love spending time with them and look forward to lots more trips to Brigham City...

Our Australia Day...

When I took the grils to school is was a bit cloudy and cold, but by the time 10am came round it was snowing lightly, by 10:15 it was snowing heavily.....

The Snow is so pretty and I love taking photos when everything is covered in snow... Driving in the snow is a completely different subject..

These are the trees just around our building....

Kiss the snowman Eden "just like ya kiss Kobe's".......

Most of the snow has melted and it's only been a day...

Hope everyone had a great day, whatever you were doing.....

Oh Dear.....

During the week we found a deer sitting in our backyard..... We were running around wondering what to do, as even though we live close to the mountains, we are also surrounded by roads....

But apparently they wander around all the time.....As one person said to me this week....

" Only panic when you see a Bear or Cougar in the backyard".....

There was a REAL Cougar wandering through Utah University this week.....

Rise and Shout!!!!!

Tonight we were able to go to a BYU Basketball game... For people who don't know the college Gary is studying at, they are VERY into sports and are faithful supporters....

We have been luckily enough to been to a couple of games before and we love the atmosphere, the cougar fans are so passionate. It is alot noisier than an AFL crowd....

Waiting for the game to start...... Always a photo opportunity....

One thing for sure college basketball know how to put on a show......

The basketball games are televised on the local TV network , so there are camera's everywhere..

They sure have alot of cheerleaders......

The Team warming up after half time.....

These group of ladies are called the courgettes, they come on the court when a time out is called....

We enjoyed the game and are looking forward to more......GO COUGARS!!!!!

Things......

Things I LOVE about living in Provo.... The Laundry room is HUGE and their washers and dryers are even bigger... I could get away with washing once a week ( if I had that many clothes) and for the LOW price of 75 cents a wash and dry....

I know this sounds boring, but one of my other favourite things is not having to worry about rubbish night. Each block has it's own dumpster and it gets cleaned out everyday.. No more sneaking up the road to fill our neighbors (sorry Andrew) bins in the freezing cold...

We are 5 minutes away from all home games at BYU.. and at the moment we are getting FREE tickets.... Free tickets keep on coming....

But the Sad thing is.....

I Haven't made any friends to do this with.......................

Basketball Anyone??

Basketball Anyone????

I can't work out why the courts are free all the time???

Check out our new Pad !!!

We finally moved into our new home for the next 12 months... and so far I love it.........
They repainted the whole place just before we moved in, so it's nice and clean.. All the bedrooms are very plain as we haven't had time to make them our own, but with time it will get there
Eden loves her new BIG bed and her own space back.....

Our bedroom very tidy at the moment...

The girls were the first ones to get anything besides a bed in there bedroom, this week I will find them something to hang on the walls.....

Their fav pics from home.....

The Kitchen.....

and our very plain lounge room.........and some random super model......

and two dorks......

but this is our backyard, just outside we have nice little play area and behind us we have two basketball courts....

That's our building in the back ground......

838 Wymount terrace, Provo, UT, 84602...

We would love to hear from ya...

news from Provo..

The Saturday before we arrived in Provo we found out that the Provo Tabernacle building had been damaged.. We didn't know what kind of condition it would be in, so we thought we would check it out sometime.....

it just happens that the Tabernacle was up the street from our accommodation, so we didn't have to look far...

It's sad that the building is damaged , i would have loved to go inside it, i don't know what's happening with it, but lets hope hat the church does restore it......

Our new next door neighbour...

Yesterday we went and checked out our new next door neighbour.. On one side is the Provo Temple and on the other side is the MTC..

We hope to visit our neighbour allot through out the year.... Here's just a few photo's that I took..

I have a feeling it's going to be a great year.... once to snow stops..... :)
