California Vacation

Chris and I went on a vacation to California to visit his mission. I got to meet some of the people that Chris knew and taught on his mission. We stayed at the Goodbars house, they were converts of his. We left our house at 5 and got to their house at 1. After we got all packed the Goodbar's took us to a restaurant called Ruddy's. It was a restaurant at the end of the dock so you could see a beautiful view of the ocean. We slept in Ronnie's room, who is 10 years old, and very hyper.
The next day was Sunday so for church we went to the Tongan ward. I loved it! The people were so nice, when they sang they sang as if there was twice as many people in the room then there really was. When sacrament was over the bishop came over to talk to us. He had a lae on but he gave it to me. All the girls told me how lucky I was and all the guys would say "you picked him?" After that we stopped by the first ward that Chris served in. We also visited a few other people that Chris knew like sister Adams, the Houtons, and the stake president. We got back to the Goodbar's and took a nice long nap. For diner the Goodbar's ordered pizza, and we watched TV with them until it was time for bed.
The next day we went to sea world. The dolphin show was closed but we got to see everything else. They have a new pet show that we really liked. We were a little disappointed that they didn't have as many or as big sharks yet at the same time they crept me out. The Shamu show was really cool though. It was a blast but we were very tired from walking around all day. This night we stayed at the Mquires house. They gave us soup, for FHE we watched a comedian and talked. They were such a neat family. The dad reminded me of Chris cause he was all buff. He likes working out, and eating healthy very much like Chris. They got along very well.
When we got up we took off to a really nice beach. Chris insisted on not getting wet but I think that his curiosity of watching me running away from the waves and grabbing seashells because after a matter of time he was wet up to his knee. So we had to change into shorts in the car. The weather was really nice. We also had a picnic on the beach, and the weather was really nice. We got back to the Goodbars and they took us out to one of Chris's favorite places called Claim Jumper.
They next day we went to Disneyland. The Goodbars son, Josh, works at Disneyland and he can get himself and three other people in 16 times a year. This was Chris's first time and my third. It was a blast, we went on a lot of rides, took pictures, and watched 3D movies, we even met Mickey the Mouse. We brought lunch so we saved money, which is nice. Chris got a head-ache from one of the rides but he took medicine and felt better. This, like Sea World, had made us pretty tired, so we went out to get pizza at the California Pizza Kitchen. We were so tired when we left, I almost feel asleep in the car. It also took a little longer to get home because Chris was going the wrong way until he saw LA city and turned around.
Today we wanted to take it easy. We went out to eat lunch with the Blinsman's who were in the first ward Chris served in. We went to the Cheese Cake Factory. That place is very expensive but they paid so I got ribs and Chris got fish. For the rest of the day we walked around an outside mail and got matching shirts from Hollister. That night the Goodbars took us out to a Mexican food restaurant. It was our last night there so we said goodbye and got up at 4 in that morning to head home.



Easter



We made easter eggs and found our easter baskets. I hid Chris's basket pretty good, but I knew he didn't like something because the first thing he said when he found the basket was something like "UCK" I guess that the sunglasses that I got him weren't cool. He did like the calone, gloves, books, and candy that I got him. He got me some cute cloths, and some yummy candy. We made 3 eggs each, it was a blast.

St. Patricks Day


Not that big but I turned the milk and pizza green. :)

valentines day


Chris had a church ball game early in the morning so he left to go play awhile i slept in. He had been gone for half an hour and I felt bad for not going so I got up and got ready as fast as I could in 5 minutes. Chris took the car so I ran to the church. When I got to the church their was a few young men that told me there wasn't a game and i couldn't find our car. Where is Chris? I gave him a call and he said that he was at the gas station getting Gatorade. So I waited at the church for him to come and pick me up and honestly I was a little upset that my idea didn't work. When we got to the house he opened the door for me and there was a cute little arrangement of candy, rose peddles, and a teddy bear on the table! :) What a cutie! He said he planned on having it set up when I woke up but my little plan to run to the church was better!

Chritmas




Our first Christmas together, I'm so excited. We opened our PJ's on christmas eve and watched soom christmas movies. Then on Christmas day we got up about 7 and went to the tree. We had picked a certain ammount of money that we could spend on presents and we got eachother presents. We had a nice breakfast and made cinimin rolls. It was a blast, I had a great christmas. Later we went to my grandma's to spend time with my family.

The Married Life


I LOVE the married life. Chris and I live in a very nice apartment called the heritage. We both have jobs, Chris works at Mygrant Glass Company, and I'm still working at Fire House Car Wash. Chris is going to go to UVU this summer doing his generals over the internet. We only have one car right now but it saves money and we can handle one car for now. We are struggling with our ward but we are giving it our best ever to work through it. We both have callings, Chris is the athletic director, they just finished basketball and are moving on to dodgeball. Our ward bet the stake so we went up to the next ward but that was as far as we mad it. I am a sunbeams teacher so the kids that I teach are 3 years old. I have 4 kids their names are Tori, Tommy, Thomas, and Trey. They are all so cute. I just got a new companion so I don't really know what to say about that yet. She seems very cool though so I'm sure that it will be fun. Oh and I am still just as in love with Chris if not more. :)

November 28- May 14

honeymoon

For our honeymoon we stayed at a hotel up in Park City for a week. We watched a lot of red box videos, and we made diner every night but once we went out to get pizza. It was really nice to spend time with just eachother. Although we did have to go back to my house on Thursday to get family pictures taken with the extended family cause Jeff Yates and his family rarely come out to Utah. Over all I would say that my honeymoon was a success. :)
