For Christmas, my dad thought it would be a great idea to rent out this amazing beach house in Rocky Point, Mexico!! Gosh, i'm so happy to have such an awesome dad with great ideas. Here is where we stayed, its called "the sandcastle", probably because it looks like one!! It was freezing the first day or so but it got a little warmer as the trip went on. The beach was beautiful no matter what though. Its nice to just get away and not worry about the things at home. I love my dad so much!! I was so happy that my brother Cody could get some time away from Air Force stuff and come hang out with the family. We hardly ever see him because he lives in Flordia and is moving to Maryland soon. I really miss him sometimes. I dont have anyone to protect me when he's gone. Erin was able to get some time off work, so she joined our family on this little adventure. Needless to say, we had a great time!! Okay, so walking into this house, there is this GIANT monk statue thing. To make it even better, you open his arms and it turns into a shelf. Its probably my favorite decoration of the entire house. I really enjoyed seeing it everyday. I love being around my family and this trip was just amazing. I really love my mom and she cooked so much this week for us. She is the greatest and I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful mother that loves me so much! So, within the first few minutes of arriving to mexico, Katrina and Justin had to run down to the beach to look for stuff. OF COURSE they went holding hands and looking so dang cute that I HAD to take this candid picture of them. I hope that one day my husband and I can be as cute and as perfect as trina and justin. love you guys! KIDDIE RACES it was so cute to see the little kids race each other on the beach..
Dad was holding Kylie and this picture was just too perfect!! Audrey and Alexa were with Erin and I probably about 90% of the time. They add so much spunk to everything. I love them! Walking the beach we found 2 dead sea lions and a dead dolphin. A few days before we got there, there was a storm that washed everything up shore...so blake had this GREAT idea to blow up things with cherry bombs...here is the video...
This trip was by far one of the best family vacations Ive been on. It was so relaxing and so fun. I didnt worry about anything and we all got so much closer as a family. I would like to see someone top their family's awesomeness with ours because NOONE comes close.
My baby brother finally got his mission call!! After 11 agonizing days of waiting for the mail, it finally came!!
Blake is called to serve in the CATANIA, ITALY mission and he reports March 11th!
Blake I am so proud of you! I know we havent always gotten along but I think that as we've grown up, we've gotten closer and I couldn't ask for a better little brother. I love you so much and I am so proud of you for making the decision to give 2 years of your life to the Lord.
So I wasnt suppose to open a package that Logan was sending me until Christmas, but I was assuming that it would have his return address on it so I could wait until then but when a package arrived for me today from Jones Soda, I was curious as to what they had sent me because I had not ordered anything from them. To my suprise it was a 12 pack of Berry Lemonade Soda with our picture on it and a cute note from him printed on the side of every one. Man, I LOVE HIM!!
I feel like I have so much to blog about, so bare with me...
LOGAN HAS 100 DAYS LEFT!! Thats right, 100 days. I seriously cant believe its so close! This has been the longest 2 years of my life but worth all the tears and drama and crappy boys, just to know that Logan is the one. I know most of you have never seen him, here are 2 of my favorite pictures he has sent me since he's been gone. What a babe..
On Wednesday, one of my favorite bands came to town, SAOSIN! They came with Underoath and my friend Adam Bird was sweet enough to buy me a ticket and take me and Erin. Erin and I got really cute matching Saosin Shirts, theyre white with splattered colorful paint spelling out saosin and a skull...doesnt sound cute..but it is. Underoath was a bit insaine because its screamo music, but Saosin was amazing and Cove Reber (lead singer) looked mighty fine.
My best friend since forever, Abigail, also got married yesterday. She and I seriously have to many memories together and I would like to thank her for making my childhood so amazing and for helping me through my hardest moments. I didnt get to take any pictures on my camera of us together but here are a few of my favorites of us trashing her car. We filled up the entire truck with balloons!! I didnt write, "honk if youre horny" on this window, but I did add the nice little drawing in the top right hand corner. hahaha :) youre welcome abby! Congratulations Abigail and Jeff! I hope you two have a wonderful life together!!
And last but definatley not least, TWILIGHT came out to theatres this week. Uhm...hello...BEST MOVIE EVER! I knew that the movie wasnt going to be exactly like the book so I didnt go in with any expectations of it following exactly, and I think thats why I loved it so much. Not to mention that Robert Pattinson did an amazing job playing Edward. People complained that he didnt seem to be as loving toward Bella as they thought he would be, but hello people, you havent read the book lately have you? Edward loves her but hasnt perfected his self control yet and has to act like that in order to not kill her. He was perfect. Im sure he will act more loving in the next 2 movies. (theyre combining new moon & eclipse in a movie because noone likes new moon) haha :) I loved it and I love Edward. What a great week!
