Disneyland






Tuesday I had the chance to go to Disneyland with my family again, but this time I got to experiance it with Diane AND Kyle...and of course my wonderful husband. It was a blast! We got there and it was just Andy, Kyle, Di and I and we headed to Pirates. We got on the ride and halfway through it got all backed up...kinda annoying. So, we are sitting there waiting for it to start again when they say they are going to have to escort us off, FINALLY someone shows up and explains there was an earthquake (which of course we didn't feel because we were on the water) and the rides were going to be shut down for a while. BORING!


Diane and I headed to Downtown Disney while the rest went and ate stuff. Finally we headed back and all the rides were up and going again...well, except all the cool ones like Indiana Jones and Space Mountain. Anyway, it was a great day! I am glad I got to spend some time with my family and Di and Ky. I am so lucky to have friends that go out of their way to see me while they are on a family vacation! I love you guys!

Going to lose weight!

So, I know that I have gained a lot of weight since I got married and I have been meaning to start working on that but now I really have to do it. The other day a friend that I made at work said she found me on myspace, and that I look nothing like I do in my pictures. I said to her that I told her I gained a lot of weight, guess what her reply was... Go ahead just guess. "Well, I know but I thought you meant like 10 lbs or something."

Now, I know she didn't mean that to be rude or anything, but it really put things into perspective for me. I need to get off my butt and start doing something about it. Be healthier, live healthier, work out more, have a better image about myself. All that stuff. So, I need all your support and encouragement (as well as any tips you would like to throw my way on how to lose weight ;).

Well, here I am procrastinating some more by sitting here writing this. Wish me luck!

We made it through a whole year!


So, yesterday was our one year anniversary. I can't believe time has gone by so fast! It's incredible to think that we have been married for a whole year! It seems like just yesterday I was the girl on the couch and he was the guy headed to the mountains, yet now here we are three years later in Sunny San Diego in a cute little apartment with our two babies (the cats of course).

In order to celebrate our anniversary we spent the day at the Wild Animal Park. It was awesome seeing the animals up close. I got to pet a bunch of deer like creatures and feed a bird (that could bite :O ). There were also like 7 lions right near the glass window. I could almost touch them. I just wanted to go give them a big hug...for some reason Andy didn't think that would be a very good idea. Ok...So I am easy to please.

After the Wild Animal Park we came home and rested for a little while. Then went to Shogun for dinner. I was quite disappointed. It is supposedly exactly like Benny Hannas (or however you spell that), I was thinking it would be more like Tepanyaki in Provo. NOTHING like it. Yeah they cook the food right in front of you but it tasted nothing like the japanese food I thought I was going to be eating. :( What a waste of $60. O-well....now I know and poor Andy put up with it.

We decided not to give each other gifts over $5 since we bought annual passes to the zoo and Wild Animal Park. I was a HORRIBLE wife and didn't get Andy anything. :( He on the other hand got me some cute scrapbooking stuff. I don't think I will ever live that one down. Being poor really isn't the funnest thing in the world.

Oh yeah, that reminds me, while we rested for that while we went to the Laundromat because I didn't get money put on the laundry card for our complex in time. Sure made me feel like a newlywed couple! Scary and boring. I'm glad Andy went with me. I don't think I will be forgetting to put money on the card anymore.

All in all it was a great Anniversary!
