Well, the two people that read my blog have asked for an update so here it is. We are both doing well and pretty much the same! Dennis is still very involved with the scouts. He is really looking forward to BYU football season. September was supposed to be "My Month". Dennis informed me that September was my month since he has been so busy this summer with the scouts. Then he found out there are some BYU football games in September. So "My Month" turned into my month during the week and football on the weekends. Gotta love him!
I am doing well. Staying busy at work. As some of you know I am in the process of losing weight. I am not doing some crazy diet. I am doing Weight Watchers. Their theory is to count points. it is pretty basic. The food that is junk and bad for you is high points. The healthy stuff is low points. So basically you are just eating healthy. It is amazing what just eating the right foods will do for you! Anyway, last night at my weigh in I was pleasantly surprised. I have officially lost 35 pounds! I still have a ways to go, but at least I am on my way.
A few weekends ago Dennis and I had our first date in months. We went to a Japanese restaurant for dinner. Then we did something we have not done in a long time. We drove up to Squaw Peak. No, not to make out. Just to watch the sunset and look into the valley. We have been in Florida for a few years so enjoying the beauty of the mountains was much needed. It was a beautiful night. A little chilly and it had been raining earlier in the evening. For you Utah folk, if you have not been to Squaw Peak lately...Go! it is so beautiful and it is a quick drive. I sometimes forget the places we have in our own backyard.
Here I am sitting on a rock...obviously.
And Dennis...again under protest. He hates pictures.
This is us taking our own picture. We do not have the self portrait ability that Emilee does.
A view of the sunset.
And a look into the valley...
We are headed to Cedar city for the weekend. I will post all about it when we return. Hope you are all well.

Man, I haven't been to Squaw peak in AGES!! We really should go up there, I bet Mason and Cam would love it. (I'm sure Cam will throw himself or his brother off the edge, however...)
I'm glad you guys are doing well! Congrats on the weightloss, that is so awesome!
I'm gearing up to be a BYU football widow as well. Chris' work has season tickets, so it's pretty much a sure thing!
Those views from Squaw Peak are so beautiful (by the way, I hope you got a kiss or two in). As for the self-portraits, you are well on your way to having them mastered -- looks good!
I'm so proud of and excited for you for losing thirty five pounds!
Those are some beautiful views; they remind me of Shenandoah National Park nearby.
Hey, if I'm one of two people, then who's my other personality, annalee or emilee? :-D

Good job Amanda!! I wish I could say that for myself, 35 lbs is awesome!

Congrats on the weight loss. I understand how difficult it is to lose weight... but stick to it! :)
