Going to Casper!!!

Last weekend me and Terra decided to make the trip to Wyoming to see Mom and Dad Howard. We always have a fun time with this trip. Me and Terra both agree that we have the best parents in the world on both sides who do so much for us and we hope they know how appreciative we are of all 4 of them in our lives. So friday Terra got off at noon and we grabbed some aggie ice cream sandwhiches and set off for Casper, Wyoming. We got there around dinner time. Due to some construction going on in Kemmerer, Wyoming it took us alot longer then usual. Plus we had to stop off at Little America and get a 50 cent ice cream cone. I mean come on, geez. We got there around dinner time and sat around and talked with mom and dad about what is going on in life. And got to bed a little early due to Dad and I's 7:30 tee time at 3 Crowns Golf course. I had a fun time. I definitely need some work on the short game. The drive was on though i didn't lose a ball till like the 9th hole so that is good. And i stayed out of the water all but 2 holes i think. So i was proud of myself. While we were golfing the ladies were out shopping and doing their thing. They seem to have fun spending all our hard earned money. That night we all went to see the movie Wall E it was a fun little movie, not my favorite pixar movie but it was fine. Then we got up and went to church the next morning and made our adventure back. We were really sad to go because we love being there. So we think we are going to make the trip back in early august before school starts again to spend some more time there before Benjamin comes into our lives.

Bear Lake Anyone!!!!!!!!!!

So we got a phone call and asked to come and be apart of this 90 minute schpeel about buying my timeshare thing. It was kind of boring, but there is always good incentives that comes to those boring schpeels. So because we are Huffs and Huff in most foreign languages means umm.......... something or other we decided to take the adventure to Bear lake. Our first stop before going was to Costa Vida oh so yummy in my tummy. "Yummy yummy i got food in my tummy." Sorry a little singing there. So that was great the drive to Bear Lake is so beautiful driving through Logan Canyon is great. We stopped off at the look out point and snap these beautiful photos. It was Benjamin's first time to Bear Lake. hahahah well sort of. After that we made our way down to partake of the goodness of the World Famous Raspberry shakes. Oh they were yummy as you can see in our faces. We both really enjoyed it. And since it was a hot day it was nice to have a little cold refreshing treat to satisfy the tummy after costa vida too. Then we decided to go to the beach and just walk around it was a beautiful day so we started driving and we ended up in Idaho which was kind of weird.but way fun. Do you ever feel like you have too many pictures on here and not enough story? That is what i'm going through right now, but that is ok. Bear Lake is so pretty this time of year. So blue and with a cute wife like i have it makes it that much better. So then we went to the dreaded schpeel. It really wasn't that bad, we listened checked out one of their condo's, watched a video, told him no, and walked out with our gifts. We got like 50 dollars worth of gas cards, 100 dollars gift certificate to olive garden or red lobster, and a free two night stay at different locations in the united states. Not to shabby for 90 minutes of my time. So we got done realized it was early. We had tons of time to get back to Logan and watch the fireworks. So we drove back and went to Dave and Kendra Biggers house in Providence up on the bench and watched the fireworks. It was fun to watch with friends and just relax and it was a great ending to a wonderful day. Thanks for coming on this adventure with us today we hope you enjoyed.

A bummer and a GREAT blessing....

I'm 7 months pregnant. With some pregnant women, myself included, comes the wonderful world of edema, aka, swelling. I didn't have any swelling until about a week and a half ago. Now I have swelling in my feet. It wasn't too bad, and even now it's not horrible until the very end of the day. It's uncomfortable and it's really unattractive!! That's the bummer part of this post...and it's not that big of a deal. Really, I can't complain because I know it could be much worse, but it's still a bummer. So in the midst of my bummer is my greatest blessing...my dear husband! Last night we were at our friends house and I put my feet up on him and he proceeded to rub my feet to help with the swelling. Then when we got home he helped me to put things away before bed so that I could hurry and put my feet up. When I went to put my feet up on one of my pillows he proceeded to give me his nicest and biggest pillow to add to my "prop up" pile. Then he put ice packs on my feet to further help with my swelling. When it was time to say our prayers together, he knelt down at the side of our bed beside me and made me stay on the bed with my feet propped up while we prayed.

Every time I feel the need to complain, I am always humbled. I am so blessed to have a great husband who takes care of me in many ways. I know that it is so easy to find the negative in things and even easier to complain about them! How much greater is our joy as we count our blessings amidst our trials! I know that I have greater trials to face that far out-weigh swollen feet, but I take comfort and courage to know that I have a loving husband by my side who listens to the Spirit. I also take comfort in knowing that I have a loving Heavenly Father who will not leave me comfort-less in my times of greatest need! He cares about our every trial - even if it is merely swollen feet!

Josh is a more powerful machine

So i am a Corvette and terra is a porche i think we are a good match let us know what you think!!

I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!

You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.

Apparently Terra is a Porche 911

I saw this on lots of other people's blogs and I thought it was fun...so I went ahead and took it. I don't mind being a Porsche...vroom, vroom!

I'm a Porsche 911!

You have a classic style, but you're up-to-date with the latest technology. You're ambitious, competitive, and you love to win. Performance, precision, and prestige - you're one of the elite,and you know it.

Camping!!!!!!!!!!

I love camping! I thought i would just say that first. So when the opportunity arises to camp we jump on it. The University 57th ward that we are in had a ward campout and it was a success. We needed to make sure we had all the poles first to our tent. And after arriving home late we decided that hey lots of people put up tents at 11 p.m. in their parking lots. So we just wanted to be like everyone else and do that. So we did and success, it was all there and the tent was bigger than we thought.
We had the shindig out at a ward members family cabin area. We had about 30 people show up between coming out the night before, the ones staying the night, and also coming for breakfast the next morning. We are greatful for the members in our ward and the fun times we have with them. Everyone started arriving and putting up tents and sitting around eating dinners and having conversations. Then we started playing some games. We played volleyball with some of the members of the ward. Everyone seemed to have a ton of fun. It was fun to sit around with some of our friends and just talk and see how they are doing. If you look at the picture of me and Drew Roska, directly above Drew's head is our tent. Above left is our friends Mike and Jessie Hylton, we are so glad Mike gave a serious Face. I could not resist putting this picture of drew with his cowboy hat sideways. He went from Cowboy Jim to Huckleberry Finn. As the night went on several of the ward members started playing a game called Pirates Dice. It is the game from the 2nd pirates of the caribean movie. And some of us just sat around the camp fire talking and getting to know one another. It was a wonderful evening in Logan Canyon, there was a slight breeze that made it perfect for camping. The next morning we all got up and cooked some breakfast. How can you go wrong with Bacon and Eggs? And to top it we added pancakes, hashbrowns, and Chocolate Milk. Yum Yum. Then we took down our tents said some goodbyes and went home and took a much needed post-camping nap. We also did some stuff around the house. Then we were invited up to our friends Dave and Kendra Biggers house for some food and games. We were excited when finding out that we were having Hawaiian Haystacks. It was a yummy feeling in my tummy that is for sure. We sat around and talked and enjoyed our time with the Biggers. Dave and I, i don't care how maybe girly this sounds, are going to start a book club. Since we are both adamant readers and enjoy a lot of the same genre of books. I am excited. We are hoping to get this up and going around August. So any suggestions of books you may have is much appreciated. We had a funny experience during dinner. While Kendra Bigger was eating her grape salad she kept stabbing at her grapes on her plate with her fork and missing them. When she would hit the plate her son Grant would laugh cause he thought it was the funniest thing ever. We didn't get the one of Grant laughing so hard that we all had to stop eating and laugh. But this video will show what happen. We are greatful for these fun experiences we had this weekend. These are memories with friends that we won't forget and that we are glad to have had. We are greatful for all of our friends and our frienships with them and the things they do for us like the Sandbergs who brought us cookies today on their anniversary. We told them they were crazy but we are very appreciative. We hope that all are doing well and we miss everyone very much.

Don't you hate it when.....

Don't you hate it when everyone complains that you don't update your blog and then when you do, you only get 2 comments on it? I even posted lots of pictures for everyone's enjoyment! Ah well! Perhaps this was a bad week for everyone and you were all on vacation, or it's even possible that you've lost a little faith in the Huff blog and so you've just stopped looking altogether...so sad. We are sorry and I do promise some very exciting posts coming up! This week my little brother cut the tip of his finger off so we will be posting about that - yes, there will be pictures! AND, we're going camping tonight with our ward so there will be some really fun pictures with that as well! And just because I like all of you who read our blog, I'm posting a picture of me and my best friend Beth in the recording studio - on the road to fame! I took this from your blog Beth, hope you don't mind! So there you have it folks, two blogs in one week and I even included pictures. I try to be accommodating!
