New Family Tradition



Well today Joe and I went to his cousins baptism, and his aunt Joey told me that I needed to update our blog...Joe and I have a boring life right now all either of us have time to do is work and study, here is my best effort to update our blogs

So when John, (Joe's little brother) left on his mission in January we went to Tucanos on our way to the MTC and ate ourself sick. Tom leaves on his mission on Wednesday and he did not want to do the classic drop off at the MTC where you watch the video that pulls at your heart strings, instead he wants to be dropped off early in the day "on the curb" as he says. And he didn't want to make a big deal of him going away. So yesterday night we went with the Burley Boys to celebrate him going. When I go to Tucanos I like to know a day in advance so that I can prepare my body for the feast that will take place...well this time we got about a 2 hour prep time.

The waiter tried to be funny and tell us that they were out of pinapple! Thankfully they weren't and they just kept it coming our way. There is also something about the turkey bacon that I can't resist.

Any time anyone wants to go to Tucanos you can count on Joe and I to go with you!

Disneyland












We went on a quick trip to Disneyland with the Preston clan this week. We were able to spend all day in Disneyland for 2 days, and we really mean all day (7:30-close). There is something about that place that just makes me feel like a kid again. I for some reason love taking pictures with all the characters. My favorite was when we tried to take a picture with Sulie. Sulie did not want Joe in the picture and kept kicking him out of the shot, or stomping his feet at him, that is why Joe isn't in that one.
We were also in an Earthquake. I've never been in one, and Joe was a baby when he was in way so it was new to us. They had to get everyone off the rides, and out of buildings, so we sat around for about 3 hours on our second day.
We love Disneyland!
