HoNeYmOoN TiMe...

OH did we mention that on the drive home from the temple we stopped to get some Rubios?
Welcome to Sky Dive San Diego! Yup we went skydiving the day after we got married and it was amazing! We decided we would do it again in a heart beat!

First day on the Cruise and we were so excited to be there! Having a vacation with the one person you love most in the world is pretty much the best vacation ever!

Mike LOOOVED the dessert... in fact he had 3 to 4 desserts every night!

So I woke up the first morning and my new husband had a new present for me! I was so surprised and I loved my gift!! Thank You My Baby!

Breakfast in Bed anyone? We'll Take It!!!

Welcome to Catalina Island! We had so much fun walking around and shopping! I got two new pairs of sunglasses and some shampoo and conditioner which was desperately needed! We played some arcade games and walked in the sand! It was a beautiful day!

I think we had WAY to many of these ice cream cones!

Isn't he so ROMANTIC? I got out of the shower and he had gone out to buy these strawberries and sparkling cider for us!

HAHA! K so the story behind these type of pictures is the ship took professional pictures of us all throughout the cruise and a lot of them turned out super cute BUT they were like 20 bucks a picture soooo Mike had the brilliant idea of taking pictures of the pictures! He's So Smart!

Welcome to Ensada!We visited La Bufadora or in English the Blow Hole and shopped at the flee market. Mike bought a poncho and we both got matching braclets. We also got a souvenir for Elder Bradley Smith!! We hope he likes it!

This could have possibly been Mike's favorite part of the entire honeymoon! We had real, authentic Mexican Tacos, carne asada and shrimp! They were YUMMY!

We loved coming home everynight after a long night watching karaoke or just eating dinner and having our bed made with a cute but scary towel animal on top.

So this was so FUNNY!! Eric you can relate to this one big brother! We had JUST sat down at our table after waiting in a long line at the buffet to get our food and mike had this beautiful plate of chili fries just piled up! An elderly lady walks by out table and knocks over my drink with her purse and it spills all over mikes whole plate of Chili fries! HE was sooo mad and the lady didnt even say sorry! Mike was so angry he was speechless. He quietly got up and went back in line to get a new plate! Poor thing!! haha

We laid out a lot when the weather was good and Mike worked on his sun tan the whole time even when it was freezing cold! I had to get a photo shoot of this BOD! haha

YES MORE ICE CREAM CONES! DELICIOUS!

Welcome to San Francisco!! We ate of the Boudin's Bakery and got a chili bowl and a sandwich! Mike had been raving about this place since we woke up that morning! It was so YUMMY!

We had some fun trying on AWESOME hats! HAHA

HAHA! Need I say anything? Love HIM!

Mike paid for me to see through the binoculars to look at the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz! It was so amazing! I love San Francisco!!!

MIKE WON TICKETS TO....?????

WICKED!!! OMG IT WAS AMAZING!!! I WAS SO EXCITED! When I told Mike I was so happy and that I never win anything he FORTUNATELY reminded me that "You still haven't, I won remember?" Love you too Honey! haha He still has some getting used to this whole being married thing!

We took a trolly ride around the whole city and I've decided I'm in love with San Francisco! It is amazing! Did I mention there is a 3 story Forever 21?!?! Yes San Fran is Heavenly!

Alcatraz

Ya so I wasnt very happy for a short time! There was a long line for the trolly and we had to get back to make it to Wicked on time so yes Mike had the bright idea of walking up the street in San Francisco (mind you the hills are sooo steep)!! It was painful! haha

Finally our night ended and we were waiting for the BART and Mike snapped one last shot! A Perfect Day!! Honeymoon was Perfect! I Love you Mike!

Do I Hear Wedding Bells?

So the semester is FINALLY coming to an end and I definitely think after this semester I could use a vacation. Fortunately for me this weekend I just happen to be going on a cruise to Mexico and to San Francisco. Oh and did I mention that its for a Honeymoon? Yep that's right We're GETTING MARRIED THIS SATURDAY!!!! We are so happy and getting very anxious! Can't wait to see everyone on our BIG DAY!!
Random picture but pretty much what our life together is gunna be like all the time!

Swim.Bike.Run.

So, I made a deal with my brother Brad to leave his fixed gear bike with me while he is on his mission. The deal is that I can do whatever I want with it (fix it up, sell it, etc...) as long as when he gets off the plane in two years that I have another fixed gear of equal or greater value waiting for him.

So I sold it. And started looking around on Craig's List....
Well, I found this amazing deal:
A triathlon bike w/ shoes, pedals, helmet and a saddle bag on sale for what I sold Brad's fixed gear for.

I have always had a desire to be a triathlete. Which is strange because I hate running. Regardless, this sealed the deal for me and for the past few weeks I have been training to start competing in triathlons.

The school put on a triathlon today and so I signed up and instantly started doubting myself, and my training, but I showed up and here is the proof:

My BIGGEST fan!!

Getting STOKED!!

Stretching it out

This was the 2nd lap on the track before we headed out to the street for the final 2.8 miles of the run

Notice the nice crack in Jess's windshield?

Jess and Brittney followed me around the course in the car

Out in the windy country roads of Idaho

Tuck and fly
Ripping all my bike stuff off
The transition from the bike to the pool

Perfect form? hardly!
Don't I look so glad I'm done?
There's that smile...
Coincidence? My number was 6 and I' pretty sure I took 6th!!

3.2 Mile Run
13.5 Mile Bike
600 Yard Swim

The run went pretty smooth and I was feeling pretty good until about the last few hundred yards.

I got on the bike and felt great, so I just took off. I definitely had an advantage over all the people on mountain bikes and ended up passing about 12 people on the bike course and moved up to 6th place.

I started cramping towards the end of the bike but downed my water bottle, finished off my Gu and started to feel better.

The swim was one of the hardest things I've ever done! My body was so tight and so tired. I ended up alternating breast stroke and freestyle every other lap and made my triumphant finish.

The official times haven't been posted yet, but I found out that a couple of the people ahead of me may have been on relay teams...so maybe I did better than 6th? We'll see.

Total Time:
1 Hour
17 Minutes
54 Seconds


When's the next one?
