Last Weekend...

Last weekend we went to Arizona because J's parents came down to look at houses. Yep, they are moving down into our neck of the woods...woot woot! They haven't officially decided but I have a good feeling about this one. So we looked at houses, layed out by the pool, saw The Avengers, ate a large amount of mexican food and celebrated Josh's birthday. It was all around a really good time. J and I have a lot of exciting things coming up in the next few months. I love having things to look forward too. More posts to come :)

Oh my holy cuteness! I took my little brothers senior pictures. 

Today was a good day...

Today was a good day because we spent the day outside in the mountains. Fact: I lived in the tiny little town of Lake Arrowhead, California from ages 1 to 7. Today we went to Lake Arrowhead. We visit there from time to time but today was special because I got to show the hubs what a beautiful place it is! We ate some delicious mexican good, walked around, looked at all the cute little shops and went down to the lake and hiked around. On another note-J, my little brother and I are running a half-marathon. Yeah, I was super stoked at first but now I am kinda wishing I went for the 10k. They say it is worth it in the end...so we will see :)

2 years

J and I had our 2 year wedding anniversary this month and what an amazing 2 years this has been. Life has its ups and downs but nothing we can't handle :) I am so incredibly blessed to have J in my life. He is so understanding and patient with me. I am a very emotional person and sometimes I let my emotions get the best of me. J never laughs, ridicules or judges me. He always comforts me and listens even though I know he has to be thinking I am legit crazy. We have so much fun together and I can't imagine my life without this man. Some of the highlights from this last year are:

-Spending New Years in Arizona
-Enjoying our last 2 semesters in Rexburg, especially the summer
-Visiting Washington DC with all of his family
-Getting our very first nephew!
-Moving to California
-And making many road trips together :) Cheers to 2 years!

Arizona...again

Yes, we went to Arizona again. We can't stay away. Justin's little cousin had his mission farewell. Over the last year hubs and his cousin, Mitch have gotten extremely close. We love that kid to death. He will be such an amazing missionary. We laid out by pool while we roasted in the 100 degree weather, ate Firehouse Subs and had lots of impromptu dance parties. Coming back to real life was ridiculously hard. The 9-5 grind is so flipping boring lately! The paycheck at the end of the week does make it worth it, though. I think this weekend we will relax and catch up on sleep...aaahhh.

Yeah, they have a pig in their backyard.

Oceanside

We spent the weekend down in Oceanside because Justin's cousins came in to town from Arizona. It was a party. We hung out at the beach, walked on the pier, went to Pedro's tacos, watched movies and had a massive dance party. We stayed up late and slept in. It was perfect! Justin's cousin Mitch is leaving to serve a 2 year mission in Chile, so it was our last time with him. This weekend I was reminded how much I love the beach..you can't beat it! 

Next weekend we might possibly be headed to Arizona. We have been going, going, going lately and I love it. 

Easter!

Easter was great. I teach 10 year old boys in my primary class for church and it was so awesome to get to teach the Easter lesson. These boys are so smart and they could have taught it to me but it was special for me to get to talk to them about the Savior. I love teaching their class and being reminded of how simple the gospel is. After church we headed over to the park for our usual Easter lunch at the park. I love being with family and eating some good grub. These are a few pictures from the day.

Look mom I found a dollar!!
