So, life is good. If you haven't already heard, Colby got an internship with Chevron and we are moving to Texas for the Summer! We are excited for this new experience; however, we are not so excited about the weather, but I'm sure with some great air conditioning and a nearby pool we will (or I will) survive! Just the other day, we secured a place to live while down there and are currently trying to find someone to rent out our apartment here in Utah for the summer. We were able to find a really great couple last summer, so we are hopeful that we will find another great couple to take care of our place while we are away.
As for other news, I am officially graduating this April. Colby and I are walking together in the ceremony even though he won't officially graduate until December. After graduation, and I mean literally right after graduation, Colby will get on a plane and fly to the Bahamas for the annual Geology field trip! And I will drive back to the most wonderful place ever, Colorado! Then, we will meet up in Vegas and drive to Cali and have a nice little break filled hopefully with Magic Mountain Amusement Park, rafting, hiking, and maybe camping with family! Then, after some vacationing we will drive back through Vegas and meet my new nephew!! He will hopefully be born by this time as we are driving through to visit. Then, off to Phoenix to visit Jaren and his family (hopefully he knows now that we are coming, since we are announcing it on our blog). Then, last but not least, we will finish our drive and arrive in Texas to spend the rest of the summer in it's unwelcoming heat! So, that's that, a timeline of our happenings, but we are happy and excited for what awaits, and I am especially excited that my sister will be somewhat close (at least closer to us than anyone else) and I know I will be seeing her every so often in the foreseeable future!
Right now, Colby and I are going through the motions of school and my internship. If you don't already know, I am an intern supervisor at the Utah Family Academy (ACAFS). I supervise divorced parents visiting with their children and make sure it is a safe environment for the children to have quality parent-child time. It is an interesting place to be and it only makes me more grateful to have the gospel in my life, because it is sad to see the many broken families that our society has today based upon poor decision making. But I am grateful for the opportunity I have to work with these children and help them achieve better relationships with their parents and transition into a different, more functional family structure.
Besides school and work, Colby and I have had some great times with family lately. We live close to a lot of family it is nice to see them every so often. But last weekend we went to Rexburg to visit all the family we have there! It was great fun and we got to meet a very precious little new addition into the Hazard family! By the way, there is also another little one on the way and if I am remembering right she will be here tomorrow or Wednesday! Anyways, it will be sometime this week! Since Rexburg is the place Colby and I met and first fell in love, on Valentine's Day we redid our first date! It was so much fun! It was fun to relive our first moments and go down "memory lane" so to speak!
Here are some random pictures of our trip!

| So, Colby, Troy, Tyson, and Greg all went Cross-country skiing to Harriman Park. There were very many trails to pick from (several easy ones) , but since these are the Hazards I am talking about, they picked the hardest trail (Ridge Trail) they could do, even though none of them had been cross-country skiing in their life or they had gone only once before. But still, I would not call them advanced cross-country skiers! Needless to say, they did report back saying they had each crashed several times. But the point is they had fun! |
