My Birthday! Oct. 18th

Well i turned 22 today! Bruce was really sweet and made me a wonderful breakfast! We just had kind of a laid back day and watched a couple movies until my family came over later that day... it was fun to just chill and have the husband spoil me... my family spoiled me a little while they were over and it was really fun cause they hardly ever come up to our house.

Barnum and Bailey Circus Sep. 25

Well we had a blast at the Circus! I got tickets through my work for a small discount and I happened to get 3rd row seats! We had 12 tickets total! My mom, dad, kyra and her boyfriend Tyler, Michelle, Donna, Natalie, my grandma (my mom's mom), Bruce's sister Julia, Bruce, and I. We had so much fun and they put on an awesome show! But i tell you what everything there is so freakin expensive! Bruce and i looked into cotton candy (at seperate times, a sweet little story but i won't go into it) and it was freakin $12!!!! Everyone had a blast. Everyone had been wanting to go for years and we were glad we finally made it!

Lake Powell Aug. 18-23

I just have to start off by saying that i haven't been to Lake Powell in years! The last time i was there was when i was really little and it was a horrible experience. We rode boats out and pitched tents, and that lake powell wind came through and tore our camp down in the middle of one night. so with that said i had never tried a house boat and now with this trip i will never go back.

We spent the first part of the week with a bunch of Bruce's friends in Waweap. We stayed connected to the dock which i thought was pretty cool it stayed cool and we just took the jet skis out to go hiking or any water activities. Which i tried wake boarding and that was my first time and i tried several times and each time i got better and better! We had a blast and it was an awesome experience. Well then his friends had to leave on the 21st... and my family had been there all week as well but in Bull Frog with the Smith's family that lived down the street, and their kids and grandkids were there too..

So we... well I decided Bruce and i should drive over there and join them for the rest of the week... Bruce didn't like the idea because it was as long of a drive to get over there driving around the lake as it would be just to drive home, but as he always is he is a good sport about what i want to do... he has a motto of "What baby wants... baby gets!" He is such a sweet heart! So we went over and joined them and that was also a pleasant experience! They found the perfect set up spot for many reasons, the sun never hit the boat so it never got very hot in the house boat (which was nice because we were forced to sleep ontop because of there being 27 people in total), but then again it didn't force you into the water. We had loads of fun and they did many exciting activities that Bruce and I were fortunate to participate in... namely their "Smith Olympics". The lake powell experience over all was very memorable and definately excited to go again!

Hawaii Trip July 5th -14th

We took an awesome trip to Hawaii and it was Bruce, me and my mom. We had an awesome time! We flew into Oahu and went to the PCC. (Polynesian Culture Center). The next day we went to the Aloha Stadium and did some bartering which was way fun (I always love bartering), and then flew over to where our time share was in Kona (on the big island). There we saw the Volcano National Park, the Green Sand Beach, the Black Sand Beaches, White sand Beaches (where Bruce and I did a lot of snorqueling, mostly him, we couldn't keep him out of the water). We also had a chance to do a session at the Kona Temple which was amazing! Then we had to fly back to Oahu to get back to the mainland so between those flights we went back to the Aloha Stadium and did more bartering. We had a little surprise when we got home, Bruce in the midst of catching numerous amounts of geckos down there had also found some gecko eggs. Some of which made the flight home and some which did not. Of the ones that made it home he had 2 hatch... so for a while we had 2 little geckos at home... they didn't really seem to eat the flightless fruitflies that the pet store recommended and we tried several different things but they didn't last too long. :(

California Vacations

Well I have been meaning to do some updates on trips... Bruce works selling security systems door to door and he usually works for Firstline but they went out of business so he went with Siren this year... He went out for about a month this summer he went out mid May and came back mid June, and the market was really hard so when we had our trip to Hawaii he came home for that and never made it back out. Since i work for an airline flights are cheap so i would go out an visit him in California every other weekend if i could get work off. We also made a trip together earlier in march when we went and picked up our Honda Civic.We went to Crystal Cove and caught crabs (Bruce loves catching things no matter where we go be it crabs at the ocean, lizards on hikes, geckos in Hawaii just like a little boy and most the time he does end up bringing them home but the good thing is i like those things as well). We also went to Disney Land and California Adventure.

Beginning Sum up!

Well a little more updated... Bruce and I have just been enjoying life and taking as many trips and making as many memories as we can! We've made several trips to California and visited Disneyland and California Adventures, San Diego Zoo, San Diego Temple, Kona Hawaii Temple, Kona island, Oahu island, Polynesian Culture Center and lots more - i will put more entries detailing those more with pictures :). We will be going on a 4 day cruise on our anniversary for eastern carribean. I work for Continental Airlines and Bruce works selling security systems door to door. We both go to school, and still have a long ways to go... I am going into Interior Design and minoring in spanish. Bruce thinking that he would like to be a financial planner... but yet wants to do something that he would enjoy more. We have a dog named
Petey... he is a pit bull terrier, an iguana named Alexander, and a ball python named Monty.

Welcome!

Welcome to our blog! I am new to this so we will see how this works out!
