Trip to Ohio

A couple weeks ago we went to Ohio for Chase’s graduation from dental school. Blake’s entire family was able to come, which made the trip a lot of fun! The weather was pretty hot and humid…. But it was nice to have it finally feel like Summer.

At the graduation!
Twinners! We had no idea that we even owned the same shirt thingy. And of course we wear it on the same day.... and of all days, the graduation. Too funny!

We took a drive to Berlin which is where Amish country is. It was pretty cool to see.

I felt kinda dumb taking pictures, but o'well. I still did it. ;)

Cedar Point! It was such a blast and pretty much every ride we went on scared the crap out of me! It is totally worth a trip to Ohio just to go to Cedar Point!

This was probably the scariest ride of them all. It's the Dragster which it goes straight up 420 feet at 120 mph. I was shaking so bad when I got off, but totally fun!

We also hit the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It was pretty fun to see.

We visited the Kirtland temple and the church historical site.

California

Blake had to go to Dana Point, California for work and I decided to tag along with him (knowing that I would be hanging out by myself). I was hoping for good weather to lay by the pool or hang out at the beach…. But it wasn’t that great. We flew in early Monday…. So rather than hitting the beach, we decided to go to Disneyland/California Adventure. It has been YEARS since either one of us have been. It was a lot of fun and the weather actually turned out to be pretty decent. Tuesday and Wednesday Blake had to go to meetings, so after he did his thing, we just hung out and did a little sightseeing. It was a gorgeous area! Hope he gets to go next year (and… bring me along)!

Laguna Beach

6 Months!

I was at work and I got a call from the front desk. She said I had a delivery…. So I went down to pick it up. To my surprise… it was this huge, GORGEOUS flower arrangement. When I saw them.... I got a little teary-eyed. Blake remembered it was 6 months ago today that we got married! He is so sweet and so thoughtful…. I love him more than anything! It’s crazy that 6 months has already gone by! I absolutely love being married to Blake. I couldn’t be any happier. He is always putting a smile on my face. :)

Mexico!

I hate the cold! I have been bugging Blake to go on a trip somewhere warm…. So we finally booked a trip to Puerto Vallarta. We have both been there on cruise stops before, but neither one of us spent more than a few hours there. It was SO nice to get out of the cold and crappy weather. The weather there was perfect. Couldn’t ask for better. It was mid 70’s-80’s during the day and got in the mid 60’s at night. We spent pretty much every day at the beach and pool. So relaxing and so nice. We stayed at an All-Inclusive resort. It was nice but it felt like all we did was eat. Our regularly routine everyday was go lay out our towels on the beach chairs, eat breakfast, gym, beach, lunch, beach, dinner, beach or just hang out.

Every night there was a beautiful sunset. The view from our resort was perfect.

Right behind us is the resort we stayed at.

Blake.... enjoying his view. ;)

We had such a pretty view from our balcony!

I mentioned to Blake that I wanted to zip-line. I HATE heights. However… I still wanted to do it. We went on one called the Canopy Tour which was about 11 zip lines all together. You went from canyon to canyon on the zip line. One of them was 600 ft above the ground!!! I about died on that one. Ok… not really…. But it scared me so bad. I was shaking pretty bad on the first couple zip-lines, but after a few, I was fine. Once we finished all the zip-lines, we had to ride mules to get back to the top of the mountain. It was a blast.

Looking real cute in our gear. :)

These were the mules we rode to the top of the mountain. The canyon behind them is the one we zip-lined through.

This trip was so fun! It just makes me wish summer was closer!

Jazz vs. Bulls

Blake and I went to the Jazz game last night. Although we lost, it was still fun! I have been waiting for this game since the schedule came out. I was SO excited to see Kyle Korver and Ronnie Brewer and of course, BOO Boozer! I hate that man! It would have been awesome if we could’ve won…. But the Jazz suck lately. O’well… my night was complete because I got to see Korver. ;)

But who would've guessed that this would be the last night that Jerry Sloan and Phil Johnson coached a game?! Sad!

Birthdays Galore!

The first of the year is always a busy time in my family for birthdays!
Lindsie’s is January 7th
Brooklyn’s is January 29th
My Mom’s is February 5th
And Steven’s is February 24th
It’s a busy couple of months for birthdays…. But so fun. I love getting together with my family for birthdays…. We always have a good time and lots of laughs. :)

Christmas

I love Christmas time! It came and went to fast.... like it seems to every year. Blake and I were dating last Christmas.... so this was our first 'married' Christmas. We decided that Santa would visit at 12:01am on Christmas because we had to go and celebrate with our families on Christmas morning. It was a fun day!! I love spending time with my family and Blake's family. So fun!
