Well Vegas was as fun as we'd hoped. We got our fair share of activities in: we played volleyball, tennis, Mario Cart, and the boys all played golf. After a few kicks of the volleyball, thrown tennis rackets, and flying golf balls, everyone survived the weekend all in one piece. (Need I say that Luke's family is a bit competitive? haha ) But really... we had a blast, and really just enjoyed being together.

The concert was seriously amazing. Carrie Underwood did NOT let us down. She is absolutely amazing live, was incredibly entertaining, and put on such a great show. I would recommend this concert to anyone, so if she is coming near you and you are even just slightly a fan of hers, I guarantee your money will not be wasted. Even the openers (Sons of Sylvia and Craig Morgan) were great.

This is kind of blurry, but Carrie was in the back of a pick-up truck and it was lifted up into the air and went above the whole audience.



In other news here's a SHOUT OUT to my bro. for getting his mission call! He will be going to the BOGATA, COLOMBIA mission! Congrats, Moe!

My dad and my Uncle came into town the other day to visit! Yesterday we had such a fun adventure. We went paddle boarding in San Clemente. Basically it's just a big surf board that you stay standing on and you move around with a paddle. I started off doing pretty well. I caught a wave or two... then the waves started getting bigger and I didn't stand a chance. I started falling at like every wave. We wished we had a fourth person with us who could take pictures while the 3 of us were out paddle boarding, but we didn't. So after about an hour, my hands started turning purple- the ultimate sign that I am freezing- so I came in and took a few pics of my dad and uncle. Unfortunately, they didn't turn out so well. Oh well.


We had a ton of fun. I'm glad they convinced me to try it.

Anyways... today Luke and I are getting out of town and going to Vegas! We're going to see this lovely lady perform in concert

Well, actually we (Luke and I) aren't. But my sister-in- laws and mother-in-law and I are all going! Yay! However, Luke and I are looking forward to doing a few fun things together while we're there. We hope to enjoy the pool and hot tub, play a few rounds of tennis with Luke's parents, and enjoy the company of FRIENDS and family. (We've realized that we really took for granted the fact that we had friends in Provo. Although we love being in California so far, we only have a few friends here, who we feel like won't be our friends for much longer if we keep bugging them the way we have been. JK) We're looking forward to a nice, relaxing, fun vacation. Luke deserves it after working SO hard for the past few weeks. I'm so so proud of him.

My brother should be receiving his mission call today. I'm kind of freaking out. I can't believe it's already time for him to go on a mission. Holy cow! But I know he'll do just great!

Our ONE YEAR anniversary is in THREE weeks! Geez Louise. This year sure did fly by. And I'm still in love with this handsome man.


Happy weekend!

JAZZERCISE.

Yesterday my aunt invited me to go to Jazzercise with her. Jazzercise is a workout class that incorporates moves from pilates, yoga, jazz dance, kickboxing, and hip-hop. It's a one hour class full of stretching and working out. The first 45 minutes are basically just stretching and pilates-type stuff but the last 15 minutes are spent with weights and a floor mat. Although this last portion of the class is much shorter in time, it worked me out 10x more. Man, oh man, was it fun. I really enjoyed it.

So I got a membership for a whole month. I went again this morning, but this time I went to the body sculpting class. PHEW. What a work out. Most of the time spent today was with weights and those rubber band stretchy things. I'm telling you, I am going to be sooore.Watch out all you one pieces and tankini's. I'm getting my summer-time bod nice and shaped up.

I love the feeling of just getting up and doing something active. It really starts the day off right, and I'm feeling like today is going to be a good day.

Aside from the workout, this morning was also great because our future apartment complex called me to let me know they have an apartment that will become available a whole MONTH earlier than we'd planned. We will be able to move in on June 11th. AH. Yay!

I just hope that the rest of the day will be just as good and successful as my morning has been so far. I'm crossing my fingers for some good news later today! Life is great.

Ps: I am currently pulling out my Carrie Underwood albums and getting ready for her concert in just a few weeks! Can't wait!

Thank goodness for Bejeweled Blitz. That's all I have to say.

And that hopefully tomorrow brings a job along with it.

The End.
