Birthday Scavenger Hunt: 26 gifts for a 26th birthday...

Hi there!

So the day came, the day I turned 26 years old.

I know I'm not super old but turning 26 made me realise..I am now closer to 30 than I am to 20!

I'm becoming a real adult!

In honour of this occasion, I intended to enjoy this birthday and be grateful that I've made it this far!

I didn't really know how I would feel on this year's birthday; last year I had a few personal struggles not to mention that my birthday fell on Good Friday and so we really didn't celebrate it - It kind of felt like a non-event.

BUT this year has been a year of great change in my life and although I didn't know what to expect from my birthday this year, I thought perhaps maybe something low key and fun?
Well, something I can tell you about Nate is that he definitely knows how to do fun and my birthday definitely wasn't low key!

My birthday fell on a beautiful, sunny Saturday and when it rolled around, Nate arrived on my doorstep... to take me on a SCAVENGER HUNT! It was the sweetest thing anyone's ever done for me! He named the day "26 gifts for the 26th birthday!"

Definitely was not expecting this!

AUSTRALIA 2015 Great Ocean Road Part II

Great Ocean Road, AUS.

DAY TWO
After writing this post, I realised what a long and intensive day we had! I promise you, we did all of this in one day and most of it before 10pm!

We had an early morning start in Port Campbell and we all know it wouldn't be complete for a Utahn without a nice swim in the cold ocean!

We then took a beautiful hike around the area and then headed off on the road to the Arch; it was in an area where on one side, the surf rolls in to the shore and then crashes in and through the Arch - it was a spectacular sight! On the other side, there was a scene that you've probably seen depicted in a lot of paintings that features some really beautiful oceanside cliffs with an amazing red hue and the waves rolling in and crashing on to the rock face. We were constantly being amazed by the beauty of nature.

Our next stop was London Bridge, aptly named because this particular formation jutted out into the ocean and had two arches. A little while back, the middle arch collapsed while two people were on the outermost edge leaving them marooned (because after the collapse, they were technically on an island!). Don't worry though, they were rescued by helicopter and the formation still retains its name! (and of couse, the nursery rhyme gets stuck in your head!)

London Bridge is falling down...

AUSTRALIA 2015 Great Ocean Road Trip: Part I

Hi all and welcome to our blog!
We wanted to keep everyone up to date on life and more immediately, our trip to Australia, so we'd love for you to follow us by email and enjoy the updates! We've been having an awesome time here in Australia and are super excited to fill everyone in on our adventures and share the music we make!

Salt Lake City, U.S.A. - Los Angeles, U.S.A.  - Brisbane, AUS.

So Angelle dropped us of at SLC airport and we were on our way to L.A. for our 5 hour stop over.. Luckily, Nate has done a few stop overs in his travels and had us sorted.. Did you know Pizza Hut delivers to the airport?! Me neither. Now you know. Also, know this: BBQ chicken pizza is awesome! After the pizza, it was off to Brisbane, Australia.

It was a long plane ride, but we found ways of entertaining ourselves... I thought Nate spent a little too much time in the bathroom.. have a look at what he got up to..
