Cruise

After Las Vegas we drove down to San Diego to spend time with our friends John and Melanie. We had so much fun chatting at the Cheesecake factory and stuffing ourselves! The next day we headed out for our cruise.

A cruise might just be the the best thing next to cookie dough ice cream. First off you can eat whenever you want and you don't have to cook. Dinner was the best. Joe would order like 2 starters, 3 entrees and 2 desserts. All day we would find ourselves at the ice cream machine or at the pizza place.

This is the lovely ship we were on!

We had fun at Catalina Island

We think this is a pig that they made for us when they came in to turn down our sheets at night. And they are wearing Joe's sunglasses

This guy would eat like 4 ice cream cones a day, on top of all his meals. What a champ!

It was so nice to be able to read a book that wasn't a textbook for a change.
We played a few rounds of miniature golf. Joe beat me every time. He's got mad skills on the course.

I can't believe its over! We are so glad we could take a vacation, and would go back at any minute. It was fun to spend 24/7 together. We have not been able to do that since our honeymoon, so it was very nice.

Las Vegas

This past week Joe and I were able to take a vacation! It started in Las Vegas where we went and saw Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian! It was absolutely amazing! I would definitely recommend the drive down to Las Vegas just to see Phantom. They had amazing special effects! (The theatre was made just for the phantom)


The next morning we met up with our friends Christy, Zach and Landon Takos (Christy and I went to high school together and played volleyball together as well!) We went to the Paris hotel where we had the most amazing crepes! And then later we went over to the Bellagio fountains.

On our way out of town Joe and I stopped by the Las Vegas Temple and did a session. What a beautiful temple! It was nice to feel the quiet peaceful feeling that comes from the temple.

Lots more of the trip later....

Done!

I just took my last final for this semester! I only have 7 months and 24 days left until I graduate from nursing school! Joe and I are taking a much needed vacation now!

1 Year ago...

I can hardly believe it! We have been married for a year! Everyone told us that the first year is the hardest. But Joe has made it a walk in the park. I love you Joe! Happy Anniversary!

I can't believe it but Joe and I are coming up on our year anniversary! So to celebrate we just booked a cruise! We are driving to California and on our way we will stop in Vegas and see Phantom of the Opera! Then take off to California for our cruise! We are going to try and hit up six flags while we are down there and maybe go see if we can find Rob Dyrdek from our favorite show Fantasy Factory! We leave in less than 2 weeks! I'm too excited!!!

Happy Birthday Joe!

Look who is 26 folks! Happy Birthday Joe! I hope that you have the best birthday today!

What did they do to my dog?

So I got a call from my brother the other night telling me that Powder our family dog just got back from the groomers. I was thinking that she got the usual done, but I was so wrong! Powder is a Siberian Husky, Malamute mix and had the prettiest white fur coat that was fluffy and soft. My mom thought that Powder might do better this summer if she was shaved! That's right they shaved a dog that should not be shaved! Well they did not shave her completely they did not shave her tail or her face. Instead of being white she actually has a pinkish tone because of her flesh underneath that has never seen the light of day.

If you dare you can check out the pictures below. I think she looks more like a white fox now.

The funny part about it is her fur was a few inches thick that when she got shaved we realized that she was quite thin. She really does eat!

I really hope her hair grows back normal and that she doesn't stay like this forever.

She does not really like pictures being taken anymore, she looks really grumpy. I would be too if I looked like her.
