These were the early days of our relationship and we were both working multiple jobs.  Even on a tiny budget we were able to have a great trip to celebrate my good friend and professor from grad school, Gabrielle’s North American wedding reception.  We biked around the city, checked out the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Chinese Garden, and saw the Bodies exhibit at Science World.

Flying to Vancouver! Yeahhh!

Enjoying some peace in the middle of the city.

Biking about the city!

While we lived in southwestern Colorado we would frequently escape to the beautiful desert in in southern Utah.  Here are some of our favorite pics!

Oh Utah. Stealing trails from the true "ancients"

Lovebirds!

Play on names

Time to play makes us happy!

We hiked all over the park...away from the lazy tourists

Matt is so understanding when I make him pose for pictures.
