Hobble Creek 1/2 Marathon



Lacee and I ran the Hobble Creek Marathon this last weekend. It was so PRETTY! This is my favorite race (Thank you DOWN hills:)) I am the oldest girl and sometimes, well almost all the time I feel like the younger sister. Last to get married...last to have babies...last to... well, like I said, just about last to do everything! OTHER than moments like THIS, when I feel like the OLDER sister...
I love it when I can talk my sisters into doing stupid things like this. I called Lacee Thursday night to run the Hobble Creek 1/2 the race was on Saturday! During the race I think Lacee told me over 1000000000 that she was going to kill me, and everything around her. haha Oh my gosh I never laughed so hard in my life, besides the Bear River race that I talked her into last year. She cracks me up. If you ever want to do a race just for FUN invite Lacee, trust me you'll have fun, and you'll laugh hard... so hard you might pee your pants, unless you're Kassy or me then you'll pee your pants for sure!!

*Good Job and Thank you Lacee, You should be Proud!!*

The Cliff Club @ Snow Bird... UTAH, "This is the place."
ABsoLutElY BEaUtIFuL!!!!

We went to Snow Bird for the night. Utah really is so Beautiful! Look at these Mountains... really?! WOW!! I am so proud to be from such a beautiful state! We had so much fun...just the two of us. Not that it's usually any one other than us two, but still it was so much fun just me and my handsome groom!










Our drive home...

These is my Words

This book is my new FAVORITE!! I don't know if it is because I haven't been able to fully enjoy a book without feeling guilty knowing I have homework to do, and now that I am graduated it is a complete pleasure?!! I'm not sure, BUT I'll tell you one thing for certain, this book is AMAZING!!!
I know that most of you have probably read this book already, but if you haven't it's a must!! You will absolutely love this book. It's a book that pulls you in and makes you feel like you are in the book yourself. You can't help yourself from being drawn to each character.

It is the perfect love story! (For the most part anyway) If I didn't love my husband so much, I would be seriously depressed by this perfect love story. Everett read this book before I did and he reenacted one of the scenes (before I got my hands on this book). I thought he was just clever and romantic haha (OK he is) but still when I read thisFAMILIAR scene in this book, I couldn't stop laughing, and when I told Everett about this "FAMILIAR" scene we both couldn't stop laughing... He is out of control. I guess that's the only thing that keeps me going, especially after reading this book!
This book is so adventurous, sad and funny all at once. I finished the last few pages of this book at work, I had tears all over my desk and I didn't even care haha because acutely it was just that good!
Anyway you really should read it, you will be in love!!!

That's not really Everett's brother in the post below, but wouldn't it be sweet slash kind of creepy!! haha But really he did graduate from PA school, and we are so proud!!! Again, CONGRATS!!!!

Love, Everett & Amber xoxo

Canada!!




















When we went to Washington to help Anna & Dave move we went to Canada for a couple of days. This is where Everett served his mission. We stayed with Vee (a member from one of his wards. She is awesome, I love her!) We were also able to visit down town Vancouver. We had dessert on top of a revolving tower that over looked all of Vancouver (SO BEAUTIFUL!!) and we spent the afternoon in Stanley Park. Vancouver is beautiful because you have the mountains, loads of green, green trees and the water (All of the best in one place).

We were also able to visit Everett's favorite area in his mission. It was amazing to be able to meet some of the people that he taught and baptized. Everett was seriously an incredible missionary. The first time I met Everett I was getting ready to go on a mission and he was so enthusiastic about his own mission. He showed me tons of pictures and told me all about his experiences with everyone in his mission. He was a Strong influence for me as I was preparing for my own mission. It was fun to finally see and be in the place where Everett saw so many miracles, and truly had his life changing experiences... What a blessing to be able to go out and do absolutely nothing except for serve the Lord! Seeing his mission made me homesick for my own. I am so grateful that Ever's served such a faithful mission. He is so smart when it comes to the gospel, I am one lucky girl!!

Seattle Washington

We visited Washington to help Anna, Dave & the babies move back to Utah. The State of Washington is amazingly beautiful!! This was my first time there. We flew out and drove Anna & Dave's car back to Utah. It was actually not a bad drive at all, we left really early and were in Utah before 8pm. We are sad they are leaving their beautiful home in Washington, but because we're really really selfish we are excited to have them in Utah with us!!

The Coopers (such a fun family). These are Everett's (and mine now) friends that moved to Washington. It was fun to see them and their cute little baby!

Mailee found this in Dave's stuff when we were packing! Dave???

Seattle Washington Temple, the grounds are incredible here, it is such a pretty Temple!!

Mailee and the big pink pig...

Everett spotted this in the midst of thousands of people! Good job honey! Proud to be a Herzog!!


These flowers were only $5.00 What? I know, Impossible, right?!! No seriously $5.00!!!!!
