Vacation!
We left at around 2am on Thursday and didn't get there until like 4pm! It was a longer drive then I thought but it was a fun drive! We went to Marine World on Friday and it was the perfect day! The wind was perfect and the weather was in the 70s! This six flaggs had elephants, and sea lions, penguins, sharks, whales, and dolphins! It was so awesome to see all those animals in real life and not on camera! It gave me a different likening to them and just how amazing they are!




On Saturday we visited San Fran and that was interesting! All I can say is that I love living in Arizona and that I can handle the traffic here! We went to Union Square and it was fun too see but I could never live there! There were herds and herds of people and let me say that some of them were kind of scary.... We went into this mall and it was HUGE! It was 8 stories high full of stores! I wasn't able to shop there because we were on a time limit due to the parking meter but it was fun just walking around and seeing everything!
And then on Sunday we made our way back home to Arizona! I started the drive out and it was fun! It was really windy so it was kind of a jerky ride but other than that it was fun! I have never driven in any other state than Arizona so I wanted to! Its not a big deal or anything but to me it was! While we were driving into Santa Clarita we saw a HUGE fire! We first saw a small patch of red smoke and then after about an hour the whole sky was covered with black and red smoke! I have never seen a fire so huge in my life in person and seen the effects of it.


These are some pics of us on the way home!

And here are some just random fun pics from our trip!

Not a good start!
So this morning I was already running late to work and then to make it worse the way I get to work the fast way was closed and so I had to take a detour! So I get lost for a little bit and then finally find my way. I was going down Jefferson and I have NEVER taken that rode before and apparently there is a stop sign! I didn't see it so there was a slow car in front of me so I switched lanes and punched it and I guess drove right through the stop sign! It gets better....Not knowing there was a stop sign I didn't look for cops and then all of a sudden a motorcycle cop comes flying up behind me and gives me a ticket!!! This is my 3rd ticket! All I can say is that it wasn't for speeding! That is what my last 2 were for so Iam was happy about that! I was kind of hoping he would give me a warning since I was crying ( I heard that works sometimes) and since I didnt see it! Oh well! Now I have to go to court and Iam not really looking forward to that and paying the fee! So now I have to be real careful and watch for cops :]
But on a brighter note this weekend we will be going Cali with my brother and sister! Iam really looking forward to that! I need a vacation right about now! It will be nice to be away for a few days! Although Iam going to miss Toby very much! (Thanks Brooke for watching him) So the beginning of the week didnt start to good but the end of the week will even it out!

My very FIRST tag!! yay!!
10 years ago I: Was 12 years old living in Phoenix and was starting 7th grade with a graduating class of 20 people and starting Young Womans!
5 years ago I: Was 17 years old! I would have to say that was a pretty hard year for me! Lets just say that it changed me and I became a better person for what I was going through! I was in the rebellious stage...
1 year ago I: had been married for 1 1/2 years already! And that is when we got Toby! Our cute little dog!
Yesterday I: We started by watching General Conference which was good! This time I actually listened and got a lot out of it! After that I hung out with my mom! It was really fun! Bear was working all day so we hung out! We went to the LDS Bookstore and bought a couple of books and then went shopping at Costco! Yes I went grocery shopping! And then went and ate at my favorite burger place, In-n-out burger! I And get this is.....when Bear came home I had dinner ready for him! That has not happened many times so I was excited!
5 snacks I enjoy: Fudge swirl Ice Cream, pumpkin rolls, macadamia nut cookies, now and later candy, and snickers.
5 things I would do if I had $100 million: Pay off our home and pay off mine and Bears family home, buy us all new cars, put lots in savings, donate to Phoenix Children's Hospital, and a shopping spree!
5 places I would love to run away to: Hawaii, Australia, the beaches, to Chile to visit all my family that I have never met from my mom's side, and my bed....I love my sleep!
5 TV Shows I like: So you think you can dance, The Hills, The Office(just started watching), CSI, and Everybody loves Raymond.
5 things I hate doing: working, waking up early, paying bills, talking in front of people(sharing time, and I know they are only kids but I hate it!), and grocery shopping.
5 biggest joys of the moment: Bear, my little Toby, hanging out with my family, getting letters from my brother who is serving a mission, and listening to General Conference.
People to Tag: Brooke, Jaci, Brittany & Andy, and who ever else reads my blog!(Only if you want to of course!)

Girls Night!
So tonight I went out with a few girls from the ward and it was so much fun! We first went to the Relief Society broadcast and that was good to listen to! Although when I go to those and hear about important Visiting Teaching I just feel horrible because I am not very good at going! I need to get that in order now dont I!! And its not like I have inactive people to visit! I actually have people that I know and talk to! (sorry Tatum and Trisha) So other than feeling bad for not getting my act together with Visiting Teaching, it was really nice to get out for a few hours and hang out with the girls!
We get to talk about things our husbands roll thier eyes with....like watching our reality shows! You know they like it too but they just won't admit it in front of the other guy!( At home he sits next to me and asks questions about what is going on but when he is front of other guys "oh that show is so retareded!") Dont get me wrong...I love my husband very much and love spending time with him, its just nice for every once in a while to hang out with just girls!
