River Trip 2003!!

In August or September (I can't really remember which one it was) 2003 we went on a week long river trip with Jesse's dad, Dave. I was so nervous I could not believe people actually do this for fun. Float down a river for 6 days, no shower, what about my clothes, wont they get wet, sleep in a different spot each night um and where do you go to the bathroom? I thought they were crazy.

And here I go with them. It was Me, Jesse, his dad Dave, His sister Jaimie, and Dave's brother Marv and his family.

We went on the Green River, the Desolation Gray part. It was so pretty.

Jesse rented a kayak for the trip, here he is doing a barrel roll, don't worry he perfected this trick the night before we left, in the swimming pool at our apartment.

We stopped for a little hike to some Indian Pictographs.

Jesse and Dave took turns rowing the raft and playing in the kayak.

This is Jesse's cousins, Mary Ann and Russ in one of the other rafts.

Jaimie and I swimming. The water was so warm.

This is a beach we pulled over for lunch, but we camped out in spots similar to this beach. We saw so many wild animals, mountain sheep, rabbits and we even saw a black bear. We pulled over at one spot to have lunch and explore Indian ruins, while no one was around the bear we saw snooped out our stuff, there were bear tracks all over the rafts. No pictures I only had a waterproof disposable camera.

Hard Ass!

White water.

We found a nice diving board and did some cliff jumping, Yes this is me can you believe it.

We had all of our stuff in these dry bags strapped to the raft, and yes we even had a potty strapped on there as well for those of you who are clueless like me.

Jesse sliding off some sand.

A rock formation called Nefertiti kind of cool.

This trip was so much fun, and so much work. I learned a lot.

Idaho 2003!!

Again in July 2003 we went up to Idaho, I am pretty sure this was the 1st time I met Jesse's dad.

On the way I asked if we could stop and see Idaho falls, I had only been there one other time before and I was little so I wanted to go. The Temple by the falls was so pretty.

While we were there we went to float the snake river. We floated it once all 3 of us and stopped to have lunch and watch other people go through the rapids called "lunch counter" this is one of the funniest things to sit and watch.

I was impressed by these surfers, something about surfing in a river was pretty cool to me.

After we finished the 1st run, Dave let Jesse and I float on our own and he would take pictures of us.

Notice I am in full rain gear and Jesse is in his shorts. when the water would spray me it was so cold, and Dave being the boy scout he is always prepared, had rain gear for me to wear.

I think Jesse was having a good time.

I was terrified, remember I don't do this kind of adventurous stuff.

As we were loading up Jesse and his dad had to long board down this smooth paved trail, in the parking lot. It was this point in time that I realized Jesse was just like his dad, I hoped he would always be like this, he still is to this day.

Just waisting film here, what a weird concept. WOW he is sexy!!

Doughnut Falls!!

In July 2003 we had moved into our OWN apartment in South Jordan. One day we went for a hike to Doughnut falls up big cottonwood canyon.

Jesse preparing our lunch, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

The hike is not long, the lower part of the falls.

My tough guy!!

Me by the upper part of the falls.

I remember Jesse jumped in the water and went under the falls. I though he was so crazy, the water was freezing.

See why it is called doughnut falls?? it's so pretty!!

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico 2003!!

Welcome to paradise!! Yes Jesse and I have only been dating for 4 months in March 2003 and he decided to take me to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We went with his friend Kyle and his girlfriend Michelle. It was amazing!!

This is the beautiful view from our room, we stayed at the Mayan palace.

Jesse in the pacific ocean

Our hotel was with in walking distance of the marina, we went there almost every lunch and dinner, walked up and down the marina looking at the huge yachts eating at the most delicious restaurants. Our personal favorite was Victors Place to this day we have not found better food.

(Michelle, Kyle, Adrianne, and Jesse)

One night the hotel was having a luau dinner and entertainment, we had a blast.

Another day we took a boat ride, I don't even know where to, I was so sick the entire time I hated every second of it. Once we got to our destination we rode horses to a water fall, It was so pretty.

When we got off the boat these guys put this iguana on Jesse's shoulder and it started clawing at his hair, then they expected us to pay for taking this picture.

We spent a lot of time at the pool,

and at the beach. This is my all time favorite picture, I love Jesse standing in the ocean, with the rope, and the sail boat, I can't get enough of it.

Jesse and I went para-sailing, I took the camera with me and took this picture of our hotel.

Here is Jesse landing.

Another day we went to the predator film sight in the jungle. Two tough guys sitting in a tree.

We ate at this restaurant, the view below this was a bunch of pools, there were little Mexican kids that would dive for money off some pretty high cliffs, it was crazy.

The tough guys posing in front of the predator helicopter.

P.S. I love/miss Jesse's long hair.

More of this beautiful jungle and the ponds.

Michelle and I catching some rays.

The last day there we went to this go kart track I think this was the boys idea it was fun anyway.

One of the best trips ever, and for the record this is the place where Jesse and I first said I Love You to each other. We spent every night out lying on the beach just listening to the ocean, and we fell in love, cheesy huh but also incredibly romantic and memorable.

Bear Lake 2002!!

Over New Years, 2003 Jesse and I went to Bear Lake with Kyle and Michelle. Kyle's family has a cabin up there where we could stay. I remember they went up the night before us and when we got there it was so nice and warm.

(This is the cute little cabin at the lake, I love the Icicles on it)

(Jesse)

The next day Jesse and I went snowboarding at Beaver Mountain. This was my 2nd time ever snowboarding, lets just say it took a while to catch on, Jesse was so patient with me.

(Adrianne)

Remember I don't do so well with new things.

We thought this was the funniest name for a lift, we seriously could not stop laughing.

Back at the cabin after going hot tubing at the resort down the street.

Trying to keep warm.
