CoLoRaDO 2010

Every year my family takes a trip to Colorado. My parents have a time share and they invite all of their kids to go! We stay in a town called Breckenridge, CO. I love it there, the scenery is so pretty and I love the mountains that surround the town. This year we went on a 20 mile bike ride, whitewater rafting, the alpine slide, and some went horseback riding. We also have our favorite restaurants and crepe place that we go to every year. Here are a few pics from our vacation...

The amazing crepe place.

Our hotel for the week.

This little bridge is behind our hotel. We went on a hike one day by this river.

This was before our 20 mile bike ride...I do this ride every year and it feels so good to say I finish it!

This is the view of main street. We walk up and down this street everyday just window shopping. I love the cute little shops!

One day we rode the gondola up to peak 8 and did the alpine slide. My whole family wore the shirts we had made on this day. Everyone kept asking what our shirts meant because we had a little family inside joke written on the back.Everyone thought it was so cool how our family was so close and that we would do something like this every year. Here is Jared after doing his first alpine slide ride. The next picture is me going down the slide...I am 24 and still love doing this.

The view behind our hotel. You can see the ski slopes and a little snow on the mountains. Notice our matching striped gray shirts...we did not plan to wear the same thing that day and I didnt feel like changing.

One day we stopped at the Royal Gorge. This seriously makes me nervous looking down. There is a little bungee jump thing where people fly over the gorge...it makes me want to throw up just watching them.

The Big Move to....

TEXAS

Jared and I decided to move to Texas. This was a big decision we had to make. We both had jobs in Seattle and would be moving to a place where we didn't have jobs. After many prayers and thinking it out in our minds we felt this was something we needed to do. This move was a huge leap of faith. After hearing all no's from the schools Jared had applied to for his masters program, we had to start thinking of our next plan. Many of the schools told Jared he needed experience in working in a research lab. After applying to a couple of research jobs in Seattle, nothing was happening. We figured that was our answer. Dallas has many opportunities for Jared. Some of the schools he applied to were even in Dallas. We are both in the process of looking for jobs and are trying to be as positive as we can.

Oregon Coast

We went to the Orgeon coast with Jared's family at the beginning of June. I had never been to the Oregon coast and it was absolutely gorgeous. We stayed in a beach house with his family. I didn't get a picture of the house but it had such a pretty view of the ocean. Here are a few pics from our trip...

The water was freezing in this picture but we went in anyways.

HaLLoWeeN and PrEtTY FALL CoLOrS

For halloween jared and i went to our ward party. We decided to have fun and be itunes gift cards. On halloween night we went to dinner and then came home and made caramel popcorn. Jared wanted to watch a SCARY movie, but that lasted all of 5 minutes because i got to scared and changed the movie! We didnt get any trick-or-treaters cause we live in an apartment complex.

Its been awhile since ive seen the trees this pretty and change colors....

Where in the WORLD are the TEERLINK'S...SEATTLE, WA

So funny story...when i first went out to BYU-idaho it was hard to get use to cause it was so far away from home. My mom kept telling me "just dont date anyone from spokane washinton cause thats TOO far away". So it was kinda funny that i ended up falling in love with jared who is from washington and moving there right after we got married...BUT atleast its not spokane! We will be here about 7 more months until jared goes to graduate school...Here are a few pics of downtown seattle which is about 40 min away...

Pikes Market...here they have yummy seafood, pretty flowers, and fresh fruit and vegetables! i love going and just walking around!


The gum wall...everyone chews gum and then sticks it on there!

Honeymoon: SAN DIEGO, CA

We chose to go to San Diego, CA on our honeymoon. We rented a condo near the beach. We enjoyed relaxing on the beach, walking around the la jolla shops, san diego temple, a dinner cruise, and good food!

my mom made us these towels for the beach with her amazing sewing skills!
