Last Few Days in Fayetteville

Were down to our last few days in Fayetteville. We thought we would be here another week but Jason is going down to Texarkana with a group of guys for a week. So me and Mel are driving home and Jason and Marty will drive home together when they are done. I am super excited to go home, but wish Jas was coming. It sucks being a part.
Last sunday Me and Jas had a fun little adventure going to Eureka Springs.

Touring the Cosmic Caverns. they were pretty cool, and had two bottomless lakes! When they first started exploring the lakes they found 4 sunken boats that there not sure who was exploring before them.


We also went to the Turpentine Creek Animal Rescue and it was amazing!

More pics to come...

Life in Fayetteville

We have been in Fayetteville a week now and so far I am loving it. Our apartments are ten times better then the ones we were in in North Little Rock. They are decorated really nice, and we have an awesome view of a golf course. The 4th of July was incredible here, we sat on our balcony and could see various firework shows in different cities. Fireworks are not illegal here so there were a ton, and it was beautiful to see. It rained a lot last week, and one day i walked out to the parking lot and water went all the way up to my ankles. I loved it, but all the rain isn't very good for Jason when he's trying to work. One of the high lights of my week is Melanie (one of my best friends out here and personal hair stylist) gave me a new hair make over! I finally got some high lights, and they look awesome! I love them, and i got some new bangs that i also love! I will put up some pics soon! Yesterday i also went yard sailing for the first time. I promised myself i wouldn't get anything, and of course i bought something the first place we stopped. I have wanted a jewelry box for a long time, and i found one i really liked there. Janessa Funk (the queen of crafts out here) and Mel bought some fun stuff and we had a little modge podge party and made some fun projects. I will put up pics of my new jewelry box soon too! This next weeks not going to be quite as fun, mostly jam packed with reading my econ text book! ugh!! I will have pics up ASAP!

Janae's First Post!

I dedicate this post to our loyal followers Selu, and Dana! Big shout out to you too! Woot! Woot! LOL! Anyway this is my first post, because Jason is the creator/manager of this lovely blog. It is just to complicated for me..( : haha but i am willing to learn. I know, I know, this shouldn't be that hard, and I'm sounding like my mother but it really confuses me.
Anyway we have been in Arkansas for over 1 month now! Wow, i can't believe it! I am so surprised how much i have liked it here, even though its over 100 degrees and i feel like I'm in a sauna. Some of the things i have enjoyed the most are seeing fire fly's at night! They are so cool to watch in the little forest area behind our apartments. There are also little cotton tail bunnies that come out in the front of our apartments every night, and like a 5 year old i ALWAYS chase them yelling "BUNNIES!" haha I wonder if our neighbors have noticed? there are also lots of cute turtles and frogs! So me being an animal fanatic i think it is all sooo cool! It is also so incredibly beautiful here, i love all the trees and constantly being surrounded by green! It is quite the change from the stark white winter we experienced the last 8 months in Logan!
We have also made some good friends out here, and had some fun adventures. As nervous as i was to come here, thinking it would be a culture shock, it has been the opposite. Most everyone i meet here is so nice, with a lot of southern hospitality! I love all the diversity, and meeting new people. Most everyone is so willing to help and talk to you about how you like Arkansas. I might even say more than the people in Utah...
While Jason sweats all day knocking doors, i have been working in the office. Sad to say not my favorite job! Not near as fun as working with the kids at the FLC back in Logan! I really miss them. I am also taking a couple online courses that i really underestimated the difficulty and time constraints. Mostly my self control is just lacking. I still am enjoying them though!
Well hows that for a first Post! Way longer than Jason's! haha

Arkansas!!

Wow, It really has been a long time as it always seems since we last posted anything on here! Mexico was an absolute blast and we will be loading more pictures and whatnot soon. School finished up just fine and Janae and I were blessed with a 4.0. We made the safe, long drive from Utah to Arkansas a little over two weeks ago and are enjoying ourselves out here. It really is beautiful, the scenery is awesome and there is plenty of green to go around.
We were both entertained by the popular river-fest they have here - 3 days of jam packed fun and loads of music, we got to listen to Uncle Cracker, Gary Allen, Blake Shelton, and see many others perform, we skipped out on the Ludacris concert though ha.
Janae is staying busy with work in the office and taking online classes, being married to her and being out here with her this summer has made life so much better! I couldn't imagine not having her by my side. So yeah things are rolling along, sorry about the delay on posts, but we'll look to have some pics up soon!!
