We both had to work that day and Spencer got stuck working until Midnight! So since Wednesday was void of any fun, Spencer decided to surprise me with a trip to Moab! On Saturday we went white water rafting on the Colorado River. After we got through that alive we decided to hike to Delicate Arch in Arches National Park.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiqArGlUx-OGIsVd-sN86P8tlQZUuGBUvDceJ8QnvK4Id30U9lzYNrqrQ5uNUzuUC_rwZzeeHYW62Ny0s_tLzopPD9h813WWQH7YLnBLKyh0hiE9dFaT0tuCCF96WFMjPsZegppXxByT4/s1600/1.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 124px; height: 95px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiqArGlUx-OGIsVd-sN86P8tlQZUuGBUvDceJ8QnvK4Id30U9lzYNrqrQ5uNUzuUC_rwZzeeHYW62Ny0s_tLzopPD9h813WWQH7YLnBLKyh0hiE9dFaT0tuCCF96WFMjPsZegppXxByT4/s200/1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462436970219399522" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiypPiiFeaO8ofXSh6BCVIAxrHfHjRsZCSaH6g58oGZWoh-JcqXcZAnipQ9hB852VTGY-PyC4sGElhNUsky_a-9O5uVCTHNLLPf2ZCeqdFPyArBpcamJYgVk9fuIOwmv_swWBlyi8p1TIo/s1600/6.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 124px; height: 95px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiypPiiFeaO8ofXSh6BCVIAxrHfHjRsZCSaH6g58oGZWoh-JcqXcZAnipQ9hB852VTGY-PyC4sGElhNUsky_a-9O5uVCTHNLLPf2ZCeqdFPyArBpcamJYgVk9fuIOwmv_swWBlyi8p1TIo/s200/6.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462436974660562530" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil0tpBMAU5JYm4txWMVh4Q_EKYWPBjcr7vG7SrcFAeYlY4m7Oj_lTTxfVy4oXmnSkJSDf2ES4lpgmEm5F-WwNxcvtojvr1vAk5hWH1KW6-nJGs1cCcp4Ul-3w6cn5mKCti8tGkP0g0MOs/s1600/5.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 125px; height: 95px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil0tpBMAU5JYm4txWMVh4Q_EKYWPBjcr7vG7SrcFAeYlY4m7Oj_lTTxfVy4oXmnSkJSDf2ES4lpgmEm5F-WwNxcvtojvr1vAk5hWH1KW6-nJGs1cCcp4Ul-3w6cn5mKCti8tGkP0g0MOs/s200/5.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462437659729604018" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-7Qg6sOl8xPPDt4tzuKdOrjSTCq1XeZTF6wGL_8zg9WTOaw9-W8O8ro_dEGe6c8k7Lal-Oj5JCP5bKtAmw0SiLqJgLRKBk2-q16Pgyp56TGAcKMDt9iEl32APMCVKxaY80YDXWXgOElM/s1600/15.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 229px; height: 170px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-7Qg6sOl8xPPDt4tzuKdOrjSTCq1XeZTF6wGL_8zg9WTOaw9-W8O8ro_dEGe6c8k7Lal-Oj5JCP5bKtAmw0SiLqJgLRKBk2-q16Pgyp56TGAcKMDt9iEl32APMCVKxaY80YDXWXgOElM/s200/15.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462436982422207282" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy6riz4eEB8iKNbgEVtWapQ_dyRDm7YFCVZr3mjeuzZqCk08OG1ppXoc_bUbyc8FGoc9sMs-AdSNqxicB0jtnuEtAB54n5IiudOq2T6Ln6Act15aWXgWiZBWYeOMm_acmWcY36T9ir93o/s1600/23.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 135px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy6riz4eEB8iKNbgEVtWapQ_dyRDm7YFCVZr3mjeuzZqCk08OG1ppXoc_bUbyc8FGoc9sMs-AdSNqxicB0jtnuEtAB54n5IiudOq2T6Ln6Act15aWXgWiZBWYeOMm_acmWcY36T9ir93o/s200/23.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462436987666187890" border="0" /></a><br />The next morning we went horseback riding.

It was great to get back home to family, friends, Walmart, free refills, normal food, and a decent bed. It wasn't long however that we realized that things were not all happy go lucky back in the land of promise. As soon as we arrived back home our hot water wasn't working (by not working I don't mean it wasn't hot, there simply wasn't any water at all when switched to hot). We didn't have a frozen pipe - we weren't that blessed; it turned out that our hot water heater died after a long twenty years. So we replaced our water heater and then went out of town to relax and enjoy the holidays.<br /><br />We then returned home once again and found that our furnace had contracted the same ailment as the water heater and had also died. We therefore replaced the furnace and then immediately paid tuition on top of it. I almost feel like a broken slot machine just paying jackpots to everyone willing to pull the handle.<br /><br />But in all reality, we enjoy being home so much that the cost is worth it...I think. Its good to be back.Spencer & Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11882763317298482130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413137248112850826.post-75743834470070935522009-11-06T12:01:00.000-08:002010-02-16T10:37:29.493-08:00Museums, museums, museumsSince we are poor college students with no income at the moment we have been doing everything in London that we can do for free.

I apologize to all of our fans out there that have been waiting, so I think I will try to fit two in one day. First I have to start with our trip to Bath, and because it was such an awesome trip I will give it it's own post. If you follow Becky and Spencer on facebook, you probably have already seen most of these photos, but enjoy anyway! The cool thing about Bath is that it was built by the Romans almost 2,000 years ago! The Romans built baths everywhere throughout their empire, and since they ruled Britain for hundreds of years they built one here. The difference is that this one is built over a natural hot spring and it is the largest Roman bath ever found in the entire world outside of Rome itself.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX3byaw8rQEzRrbekZBXetdRAxqJTPIlmzo1IEDxTuFjj6E1ifthJatP05aL7QEI86-myS4SzSyr67SjuzRfaHCLjsYh-mQOuzEZUA7Qg1EkEd51QXetSXyFJIT_QAkdWQaD1RzIXMYzc/s1600-h/DSC00657.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 169px; height: 127px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX3byaw8rQEzRrbekZBXetdRAxqJTPIlmzo1IEDxTuFjj6E1ifthJatP05aL7QEI86-myS4SzSyr67SjuzRfaHCLjsYh-mQOuzEZUA7Qg1EkEd51QXetSXyFJIT_QAkdWQaD1RzIXMYzc/s200/DSC00657.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399558808373984226" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8DAqunHllSxNqwOO3Yih9uPkiK2a6szsSF6BTNZqymbdkmVUNmOmHHP-Hw_Kndh4aMIyOHq1HaPZ74N6z2lGy034H3avUGEIXpFnVwRI-45mYYe29IFsKML2w2Izo_1sg7kd2bBkL9X8/s1600-h/DSC00672.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 167px; height: 126px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8DAqunHllSxNqwOO3Yih9uPkiK2a6szsSF6BTNZqymbdkmVUNmOmHHP-Hw_Kndh4aMIyOHq1HaPZ74N6z2lGy034H3avUGEIXpFnVwRI-45mYYe29IFsKML2w2Izo_1sg7kd2bBkL9X8/s200/DSC00672.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399562650143486482" border="0" /></a><br /><div class="photocaption" style=""><div class="photocaption_text">The main bath was actually more like a pool and would have been covered during the roman days by a giant canopy made of hollow tiles 50 feet higher than where we were standing.

<![endif]--> <p class="MsoNormal">We are here in London, England where Spencer is doing an internship for the Adam Smith Institute of Economics. The internship lasts for three months, so we will be living here until December. Yes, we will have to miss Thanksgiving but we will be home for a wonderful American Christmas. We have been here for three weeks and are having a great time, but still really miss America. There are a lot of things that we have noticed that are different...a few of them a little disappointing. For example: in restaurants, especially fast food, they rarely serve soft drinks with ice and even though you pay about 1.65(pound to dollar ratio) times more for a soft drink here they still don’t give any free refills. And, yes, you have to call it a soft drink because if you call it soda or pop they won’t know what you are talking about. To make up for that disappointment, their public transportation system is great! We have been all over the city using the tube(subway system), light rail and the buses, so we don't have to have a car. Our little apartment, known here as a flat, is pretty ghetto.

One thing I had never seen before, and think that it is the most ridiculous thing ever, is that every sink in our flat has two faucets (here they call them spickets), one for hot water and one for cold water. If you haven't yet figured out why this is the dumbest thing ever, it is because you can never have a nice stream of warm water to wash your hands in! The water is either piping hot or ice cold- so annoying! This is a list of things that we have been told are different, many of them we have noticed ourselves (just imagine the British words being spoken in a British accent --it makes it slightly more entertaining):</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Fries are called chips (hence fish and "chips", it's actually a piece of battered fried fish and french fries)

Anyone that really knows us knows that if we could we would stay in bed for days and do nothing but watch TV and eat oreos... so since the sun has been around more often to brighten our spirits, I have taken up yoga and Spencer has taken up golf with some of his friends from work. Although, anyone who has tried yoga knows who is getting a better work out. Annie is still doing great. She's a little bigger than she was five months ago but still manages to get into places she shouldn't be. Yesterday she ate Spencer's headset to his XBox and she loves to dig up the flower beds at mom and dad's house. Is this what kids will be like? Well, we still love her and she gets away with it because she knows she's so cute!Spencer & Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11882763317298482130noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413137248112850826.post-64955134977258067692009-02-12T17:26:00.000-08:002009-02-12T18:56:09.050-08:00Getting Through WinterSince the cowardly groundhog saw his ugly shadow we have been cowering inside wondering when we will get to see a little sunshine. Annie has been having a great time though. She loves the snow! She loves to bounce around in it like a little bunny and it's always a surprise to see what she will dig up... it's usually gum though. We are just waiting for spring and summer to come, especially since Spencer has not been in Utah for summer in five years! We already have vacations and trips planned for the summer and after summer is over we will be embarking an on exciting new journey when Spencer does an internship, hopefully in London, England! That's our story for now.

Spencer is officially retired from summer sales, but still sells alarms on the phones part-time for APX. Other than that Spencer is still hard at work in school. After next semester he will have finished all of his classes and will only need to finish an internship to graduate with a double major in Economics and Political Science. The exciting part is that the internship may take us to Europe for four months. Although the application process hasn't started yet Spencer will be applying for internships in London working for an economic advisory firm and in Brussels working for the EU parliment! Other than that we are pretty much just working and schooling around here.Spencer & Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11882763317298482130noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413137248112850826.post-34151858379056973812008-07-16T21:45:00.000-07:002008-08-14T14:49:06.197-07:00Lonliest summer<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNRgbPIQ5wWNlaNAHDccAJX9Kt-m8uiOVL-rObTCFVkQEzdiDP7swYcV9qnwQg2Hws9Si-mh1vl3qojf0rtE4g3gbYWxLnTPZBz2oD0gm8KU7HFZYlpF0MHMwcSB2cyVKmqMZmaAHbe50/s1600-h/DSC00268.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNRgbPIQ5wWNlaNAHDccAJX9Kt-m8uiOVL-rObTCFVkQEzdiDP7swYcV9qnwQg2Hws9Si-mh1vl3qojf0rtE4g3gbYWxLnTPZBz2oD0gm8KU7HFZYlpF0MHMwcSB2cyVKmqMZmaAHbe50/s200/DSC00268.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234493539903987682" border="0" /></a>This has been the longest summer of my life. I wasn't even this lonely when I was single! It has been a little awkward every Sunday finding myself sitting on the bench by myself in our family ward full of young married couples, but luckily we have made some good friends in the ward who don’t mind me sitting next to them without my other half. We have both been working a lot so we don’t have a lot of time to think about how much it sucks being apart. <span style=""> </span>When I got home to Utah after spending three cherished weeks with Spencer in Kansas, (yes, I know it is weird to think that any time spent in Kansas could be cherished) I had to immediately start my internship at a Chiropractic clinic. Unfortunately this internship is not a paid internship so I also had to take up a job as a server at Brick Oven Pizza. I graduated from Stevens-Henager College in the middle of June, and just as I finished my internship hours a full time job fell right into my lap as the office manager at the chiropractic clinic. Wheew – lucky break for me. Since then it has been nice getting paid for my work, but it hasn’t been easy juggling a full time and a part time job. <span style=""> </span>Having to work so much has made it so I have to be around a lot of people, which has been a good thing. I have made a lot of friends and we have had a lot of good times. So, I haven’t exactly been alone, but being without Spencer has still made it a very lonely summer.Spencer & Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11882763317298482130noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413137248112850826.post-19981814044856192932008-06-22T23:14:00.000-07:002008-06-22T23:28:52.172-07:00For Becky...I miss you<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwf_vJTA0Pgz5irlXo8Y0vw3eiCYwnyzDL-uqvqLtNJUrZ9g7MIUSCm5Cnor-8Jbpz1-beFjA6AKrQlkSiZxQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br />For those of you who don't know, Becky and I are currently forced to spend the rest of the summer apart from each other. It pretty much sucks! I new that I would miss her but it is pretty much driving me crazy. In an attempt to both give me something to look at and to score points with my lovely wife I put together this slide show of her. I hope she likes it and that she knows how much I miss her.Spencer & Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11882763317298482130noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413137248112850826.post-67106309634531669352008-06-13T08:30:00.000-07:002008-06-13T09:29:56.477-07:00Kansas to Iowa<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRH_SfON9BOPEo2agS7sQEtKsl9jvWrsbqCrk197NNgXX3PNl3vvN6Xby-VJ7cixauXHTsxP5MvS5YWYch7ZpZrmseNCyb5hRI4czpXyx_2MPdHLpNkTlrofWUDJfva4FtLK2ZXS5DXLk/s1600-h/images.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRH_SfON9BOPEo2agS7sQEtKsl9jvWrsbqCrk197NNgXX3PNl3vvN6Xby-VJ7cixauXHTsxP5MvS5YWYch7ZpZrmseNCyb5hRI4czpXyx_2MPdHLpNkTlrofWUDJfva4FtLK2ZXS5DXLk/s320/images.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211403695252760274" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Well, it has been a while since I wrote anything on this so I figured I should post something for all my fans out there.

This will be the third year that I have ventured into the dismal wildness referred to only as "The Mid-West" to knock on doors selling, oh...I mean advertising, alarm systems. I have know idea how I got talked into doing this again...oh yea, now I remember, money.<br />So far I am on track to having the best summer yet; I am averaging two sales a day which keeps me right on track for my goal of selling a total above 200 by the end of August. Although I absolutely hate this job I have to admit it does have its advantages...and I mean other than money! Man, how shallow do you think I am?<br />Just the other day I had an amazing conversation with a Jehovah Witness lady about the LDS church and committed her to accept the missionaries over for a lesson. I then committed her to an activation fee and 39.99 a month for her new system, but the religious discussion was great.<br />Basically I have realized that I have to enjoy it or I will curl up in a ball on someone's porch and mumble obscenities until the nice men in white suites come and take me away. So here I am in my apartment with some shiny red shoes I stole from an old lady today after hitting her with a house, and I'm about to wish my way home or at least for the strength to make it through these next few months. Well wish me luck...theres no place like home...theres no place like home...Spencer & Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11882763317298482130noreply@blogger.com1
