GOOD NEWS!!

No, we're NOT having a baby. But we did create a new blog site! We most likely won't be posting on this one anymore, so go check it out: erhaymond.wordpress.com

Happy Fall!

So ever since school started we're not so much fun anymore. We don't really have any pictures of fun and exciting things we're doing, because we pretty much work, go to school, do a little homework, work some more, write some essays, and that's about it. We tried going to a pumpkin patch the other day in lieu of the new fall season, but it was closed due to snow and rain! We try so hard to be fun...We are really enjoying the new cool weather though, Autumn is our favorite season. Well it's Rachel's favorite at least. Not only is the weather usually just perfect, but we have an excuse to make wassail, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and fill our candy jar with Halloween colored M&M's. Although Eric is already ready to listen to Christmas music and put up the tree, we are trying to enjoy fall as much as possible while it lasts even with those crazy school schedules that get in the way...Rachel is having serious senioritis.

Ok, so I'm having some issues here trying to insert what pictures we do have, so check back later!

In the meantime my new fave soundtrack is Across the Universe. I haven't seen the movie and don't really want to, but the music is so good!

Hawai'i Pics!

Ok, so we FINALLY posted pics from our Hawaii trip. We had school and lots of work right when we got home so it took us a while to get these up. We made a slide show with a ton of pics for those who requested to see lots, but at the top you can push the arrows to move through them faster for those who don't care to see a hundred photos. We had tons of fun and couldn't even get to see everything we wanted to. I guess that means we'll have to go back one day...

Oh, you might want to click play on this song to set the mood for the show.

Hawaii Slide Show

Hawaii Vaca

We're finally on our Hawaii trip!! Here's a preview...we'll post a slide show when we return to the Mainland.

Harry Potter Mania and Visitors

It has been the greatest Harry Potter month of all time! We went to watch the fifth movie opening weekend at the IMAX, and even Hannah got to come with us while she was out here for her Ballet camp at BYU! Later in the month, much to Eric's delight, we attended to Barnes and Noble book party for the release of the 7th book at midnight. Ok, so the party wasn't the most exciting, but seeing people's costumes they came up with made it all worth going. I wish we had taken pictures of some of these people.

Sorry Hannah, I had to put this picture in!

We had to get a picture with Eric's favorite character, Gilderoy Lockhart, who even autographed a picture of himself for Eric.

Sean and Tami (Eric's brother and his wife) also came to visit us for a short time. It was fun to see them, especially since we won't be seeing them very often as they are moving to South Carolina for school. We went up Provo Canyon and had a picnic, which is where these pics are taken. One of the pics was too large, so I couldn't flip it.

Another Move and 4th of July

We moved! Again! At least this time it was within the same state...We just moved a few miles away to Orem so that we were more in the middle of both our schools. Also, it's a nicer area than our last neighborhood and our place is much more spacious. It's a duplex, and the people upstairs are some friends of ours so it was exciting to know some neighbors already. We are currently painting inside and still unpacking, but soon it's gonna be great!

For the 4th of July we had a barbecue with Leslie and Peter and some other friends, and then afterwards we went to the roof of the apartment complex Eric works at to watch fireworks from the BYU stadium. We sure had some killer kabobs!

Just Some Pictures...

Here are some recent pictures we've taken. Hannah came to Provo for EFY and it was fun to see her. I didn't look that cute when I was 16! My parents were also able to come for Harrison's baby blessing, and while they were here my dad took Eric and me fly fishing (more pics to come of that). Then last night we went to the Manti Pageant. It was really good, though a bit cheesy at parts. Really cool effects with the lights though!
