st geeze.

let me tell you a little something about the j's. 

jeno deployed to afghanistan with jon. while they were there, they talked about how fun their wife's are. upon their arrival, we all got together and had a great time. ever since then, we've been laughing at bridesmaids quotes, discussing the fact that not only is burger lounge the best burger place in the world, but how it's ruined every other burger out there, and talking about vacationing together. obviously hawaii would be ideal, but we don't really have the time for that. lynn is expecting in september (no plane rides after a certain point in the pregnancy) and i am a full time student (year around school). about a month ago, we decided that st. george needed to be our vacation destination. they've never been to utah and haven't experienced the beauty and amazing...ness of it all. it took some persuading, but they finally agreed to it. when we got to my dad's condo last night, they realized that the drive was worth it. when they saw the mountains this morning, they realized that we are right about everything and that they will never doubt us again. they also told us that we are the dominant couple and so it's officially okay to call us as a group of four the "hager-J's."

(as I'm reading this to them, jeno says "that's a bold faced lie.")

it took us nine. hours. to get here. 

 we had a huge breakfast including pancakes, eggs, and bacon, and then spent the day at the pool and playing tennis. 

 then these two came home and just passed. out. 

 we climbed up to the top of the mountain and took in the view. it looked so beautiful. it's fun being here with people who have never been before. it's like seeing st. george through new eyes. 

for dinner, we had jeno's famous lasagna. it was excellent, as always. 

tomorrow, we plan to spend the day at zion and then treat ourselves to some Texas Roadhouse! Yeahh....
