California Vacation

Here are some pictures of our Vacation there are lots of pictures but we were gone for a week. It was a lot of fun and the driving was not to bad because we stopped in Vegas to visit my grandpa on the way in and out.

Wednesday our first day in California we spent the whole day at the beach. We played in the water, and collected sea shells that Curt is planning to make me a necklace with.

This is my sister, my mom and me waiting for the wave. We spent most of the day jumping over the waves, can life get any better.

My sister made this heart in the sand

YEAH DISNEY LAND !!!!! We spent three days playing in Disney Land and Disney's California Adventure Park. We had a great time other then I was exhausted and my feet ached every night, but it was worth it.

Cinderellas Fairy Godmother, She is one of my favorite because I did a dance to "Bidity Bodity Boo" when I was little.

Tink!!

Hanging with the Mad Hatter, He was a funny guy

We got to meet Goffy, Curt did a Goffy Yell one of the times we went on Splash Mountain.

My Dad and sister Debbie

My Mom and I, we did not want to be in the same car as my Dad because he likes to spin the cup like crazy and it was our third day of rides. I don't think the workers wanted to clean up a mess :)

This was our very last ride on Splash Mountain and my brother deiced to go big or go home, so he created the biggest wave he has ever seen. My mom was wearing a rain coat and still got soaked. We all had a good laugh.

If you can't tell that says California it is the Sign for the California Adventure Park. while over here we went on a sweet roller coaster that launches you like a rocket at the beginning called the California Screamer, we went on soaring over California which I enjoyed, and Tower of Terror. Curt is not a fan of heights so he did not go on Tower of Terror. We also watched a "It's Tough to be a Bug" and "Muppets 3-D"

Mr. Incredible

After Disney Land we went to the Wild Animal Park. We walked around to see animals and rode on a tour car to see other animals.

I like Giraffes they are different and elegant with their long necks

This lions loved to sleep on and in this jeep

Oh look at the little elephant, there was also a baby but we did not get a picture. Also just before getting to the elephants I rolled my foot and pulled a muscle in my foot. It hurt bad but just stretching it out , resting it, and walking on it helped. I am so glad it was nothing more serious.

Look at the colorful Lorikeet it was posing for the picture.

This is my brother Brian with a lorikeet on his shoulder

SEA WORLD !! We went to Sea World on Monday. It was nice because it was not to busy

I really liked the Killer Whale Show, for being such big animals they can do some cool tricks. We chose to sit up by my Dad and not get splashed by "Shamu", while my mom, sister and brother Brian sat in the splash zone and got soaked.

Here is Curt playing with the Bat Rays, they look like they are flying through the water.

My Dad payed for my sister and I to do the dolphin experience, he was going to let us go swimming with a dolphin but it was really expensive. The dolphin we got to play with was a 3 year old girl named Captain, she was a silly little talkative dolphin. We got to pet captain, feed captain and learned how to get the dolphin to do tricks. My sister loves dolphins and was giggling the whole time. It was a fun experience.

This as Dolly the Dolphin Jumping I tried to crop it but i guess it did not work. Below is a penguin, my brother Allen wanted to take one home as a pet.

On our way to Universal Studios we stopped by the San Diego Temple. I think this is a beautiful temple, it reminds me of a Castle.

Curt took this picture I thought it turned our really well

On the last day of our trip we went to Universal Studios. There was some fun rides and cool things to see but I liked Disney Land better but it may have been that I was worn out and ready to go home.

Here is Curt at the KWIK-E-MART by the Simpson Ride, The Simpsons is not my favorite show but the ride was the coolest Magical motion ride I have every been on it actually felt like i was on the roller coaster.

The Back Lot tour was cool, you got to see where they filmed a lot of movies and TV shows and showed you how they did some of the special effects.

The Jurassic park ride was cool and it had a steep drop in to the water at the end and I thought splash mountain was steep. The Mummy ride was sweet too but really short.

Here is one of the cars from Jurassic Park

Here is a car from Back to the Future

Here are the cars from the fast and the furious, I thought the effects were cool

Here are some pictures of the souvenirs we got while on our trip

If you can't guess we had some one at SEA world draw this up for us

I got this cute bag from Disney Land, I am not a fan of big Logos, so I thought it would work well.

Thanks Family for a great trip, we have had fun and have a lot of good memories to cherish. We love you.

Off to Disney Land and Sea World

We are going to California for a week, we are so excited to get away. We are going to Disney Land, Sea World, San Diego Wild Animal Park and a few other places. It should be a lot of fun and I will post pictures when we get back.

I also got my hair cut

After What do you think? I really like it :)

Update for past month

Here is what we have done for the past month or so, just to let you know there are a lot of pictures.

Went to Curt's mission reunion, here we are with Curt's last Mission President

This is a picture of Curt and his second son (got to love mission lingo), does that make him my son too? Sorry the picture would not rotate.

We went to Curt's parents for conference weekend and then again for his Dad's birthday a couple weekends latter, but we forgot the camera for his Dads birthday so no pictures of the our nieces and nephew.

Curt's family likes to play cards and other game, we also went swiming

Here is Curt playing with the dogs, he loves dogs and can't wait until we live in a place were we can have one.

For Easter we just stayed home and my parents, brother and sister came to visit but of cores I did not get any pictures.

We like to die Easter eggs even though we don't have any kids around, we are just kids at heart

We had fun even though some did not turn out like we would had hoped

On the Monday after Easter we had our friends Talon and Nicloe come over for FHE. They shared a Easter message, Elder Hollands talk on the pictures from the Testaments.

Then we made Easter House instead of gingerbread houses

It was a fun month but crazy busy with school, I am glad that school is done for a while and that we both did good on our finals, however we both start back up in June for a summer class. We will enjoy our break while it lasts.

Pictures of Car and New Apartement

Sorry this has been a crazy semester and i have not made time to update my blog. The pictures would not turn so here is out new apartment side ways. It is nice to have more space to hang out, cook and do home work.

Our computer will no longer in our room and we have a spare room to store stuff (when we get everything organized :)

 

The room is smaller but there are two rooms

The mirror is small but at least we can both fit in the bathroom at the same time.

Yeah full size couch and we can actually put out out table in the kitchen

Look Melanie we have a place for your girls to play next time you come and visit.

As you can see we diffidently wont be able to drive the car with out repairs and the insurance company decided that there was too much damage for how much the car was worth, so they decided they are not going to fix it. However my Dad bought the car from the insurance company and is going to fix it up. We have not decided if we are going to pay for my Dad to fix the car or if we want to buy a new car, so if any one knows of any good deals on cars let us know. In the mean time we are driving a car that we are borrowing from his parents. We love out parents and all the help they have been to us.

Car Accident and Moving

On Wednesday Night we were sitting right in front of our apartment waiting for a car to pass so that we could turn into our parking lot and girl hit the back right tire and tail light. It scared me so bad because we were just talking and it came out of the blue. Luckily we were both fine, the driver of the other car was fine, and she told the police that it was her fault. We stood out in the middle of the road from 9:15 to 10:00 waiting for the police to come and take care of everything. Weird thing our cell phones would not call 911, but we had lots of neighbors stopping by to see how we were, so we just used one of their phones. Are car was towed away and we are not sure when it will be done because we are still figuring out insurance, so in the mean time we have wonderful neighbors who have been letting us barrow their cars or giving us rides to places. We love our ward and are grateful to everyone that have reached out to help us.

Also we have decided that since we will be here for at least two more years we want a bigger place so we are moving on Friday and Saturday. Nobody get to upset we are just moving into a two bedroom apartment within Aggie Village and we are not leaving our ward. It has been fun trying to pack and clean while going to school, dealing with the insurance, and having no car, but I am glad to be getting into a bigger place.

Spring Break

Two weeks ago we had spring break. We did not do much but it was nice to have a break from school. Curt worked everyday so we stayed up in Logan most of the time. However since our school has to pay the government a lot of money the school was closed down for spring break and no employees were allowed to work, so I had a week off work. I mostly hung around the house relaxed and did home work. On Tuesday night we went down to my cousins Adam and his wife Carly's wedding reception. I forgot my camera so I took one off my cousins Facebook page. Also on Saturday we were sick of Logan and Curt needed some sort of a spring break, so we spent Saturday and Sunday morning at Curt parents house. On Saturday we went swimming, watched a movie, and had dinner at his sisters house. Then on Sunday we went down to my Grandmas house for dinner with my family and cousins. After dinner we stayed and played cards. Even though we did not do much it was a nice break from school.

Happy Valentines

Since we went toe the Dance on friday and were with our families on Sarutday we decided to celebrate Valentines on Sunday. Curt made me this Lemon Fish wrap it was delicious- He is a wonderful cook. We have a tradition that he makes me a new dish for valentines dinner. It is fun to try some recepices we would not normally try

I got the table set up all fancy for dinner. In the middle are the roses curt gave me.

For Dessert we had strawberries that I cut out in the shape of a heart with whip cream and strawberries. We had a fun romantic evening.

Keep Scrolling down for pictures from my birthday

Valentines Dance

On Friday the 13th we went to a stake Valentines dinner and dance. It was fun to get out and go dancing with my husband even though we are not that good.

This is not a picture from that night but we wore the same clothes

My Birthday Picture

Here are some pictures from my birthday sorry they are kind of late it has been a busy couple weeks. I was not sure what Curt had planned and was not sure if he had the night off until that morning, he had it off the whole time but he was just trying to trick me. At first he wasn't going to let me know and had made arrangements to kid nap me from work. But him trying to get a replacement for me was not working well, so he told me that morning so that I could get it all worked out. That morning he made me french toast for breakfast and I opened my presents.

Here is a sign that he carved and painted for me it say- Christ is the center of our home, Love is what keeps us strong and eternity is what we have to look forward to. He he made up the saying all by himself. Here is a skit that I got, plus a movie and a video game- the game is really fun we have almost beaten it.

I got home from school that day and my door was decorated- I loved it - Thanks Chelsea Moore

That night we went to Olive Garden for dinner. Then we came home had cake and ice cream and watched Fireproof it was a little cheesy but I liked it.

Curt did the whole cake by himself- Yes that is strawberries and whip cream with chocolate cake, it was so good.

Thanks for a wonderful day Curt I love you So much

We Also went to my parents to my parents that Saturday. My mom gave me a shirt and some Jewelry beads, my sister gave me a scripture tote bag that she made and my dad bought me my phone. Then we went out to dinner at this Korean restaurant- It was delicious. After dinner we came home and had cake and ice cream. Here is the cake my Dad decorated for me and the tote my sister made.

Update

So we are still alive, nothing exciting going on just trying to get though this semester. My Birthday is on Tuesday and I have no idea what Curt has planned but I will post and let you know what we did. We are also going to a Valentines dance on Friday, on Saturday we are helping curt's sister move, and then going to my parent for a birthday/ Valentines party for me and my mom.
