Christmas Break and Holidays

So it's Christmas break for Justin. This year we will be going to my parents. It will be rough for my Mom with her parents not being there and rough for my Dad with his mom not being there. I love the holidays and I know that we will have a good time. Favorite tradition my family does is playing games and of course telling the story of baby Jesus. This Christmas and New Years Eve is our first time together as a married couple. We got some pretty cool gifts, Justin was nice and took me to go and get the Wii. I got him a nice bike for him so that he can start doing some Triathlons in the summer. This spring will be busy with school and work again. That is pretty much all we do is school and work.

Thanksgiving

This year was our first thanksgiving together as being married. We went to justins parents house and a few people from the singles ward was there. It was fun to be with family and we had so much food and i ate so much pie as well. I love the holidays because you get to relax and enjoy being lazy. We watched movies played some games and looked through the ads to see if there was anything good for the black friday sells, justin did go to game stop and got some games for christmas. We both are still staying busy in about a couple of weeks justin will be studying for finals and be on christmas break wahoo!!!

USA soccer

So the beginning of this month has been crazy with me still working a lot and with Justin doing work at nights and doing school in the mornings everyday, so the only time that we really get to see each other and hang out are the weekends. So on September 5th Justin and I decided to go to the USA vs El Salvador men's soccer game and it was such a blast we had decent seats granite that we were sitting in the El Salvador section but we still had a blast and not to mention that USA won so it made the game really fun. These next couple of weeks coming up are going to be crazy too we both have a lot of events coming up. Once again I hope those of you who are reading this are enjoying it and hopefully I am doing a good job writing on my blog so that you can get to know Justin and I a little better

Vacation to North Carolina

My parents decided to take the whole family to Emerald Isle in North Carolina. Some of us flew out on Friday July 31 and some of us flew out on Saturday August 1 we stayed a whole week. My parents paid for everyone to fly out and covered the meals, my mom just went to costco so we had meals every night,parents also paid for everyone to stay at the beach house which was a really nice house and very expensive. It included a home theater room, pool and foosball tables, swimming pool and three hot tubs. It was really nice because we had a walk way that went straight to the beach. This house also had eight bedrooms which was nice since there was 22 of us there. The activities were fun that we planned and did. We went swimming at the beach a lot and at the pool it was nice to relax and some bonding time with the family. Church was very good this ward has the building to themselves and they are spiritual people. Coming from a state is mostly LDS to see the people there at the church really brought that spirit and helped my testimony. Monday we had FHE and went miniature golfing which we didn't end up finishing because it was a down poor but did end up going on Wednesday.
The weather was nice though for the rest of the vacation. Tuesday the boys went deep sea fishing for the whole day and caught many fish 50lbs worth, while they were doing that the girls went shopping!!! and spent the day of the beach. Wednesday we went to this really cool historic site called the Fort Macon that was used in the different wars including the civil war and world war two. It was so interesting to learn about how they lived and took care of each other. Thursday we went the aquarium, we saw many fish and even went to a show there,they let us know the different types of fish that were at the aquarium and told us that along the shores of the beach there were a lot of sunken ships out there from the wars. Later that day we went to a town called Beaufort which was cool to see the different houses marinas are everywhere and trees are all around you. Different from the city and here where we live. They had a lot of different shops and there history was cool. Some of us went back on Friday to see the pirates invasion that they were having that weekend. Unfortunately the pirates were just there they were doing the pirate fights on Saturday and that was the day that we were all coming home so we missed that the kids were sad. This trip was so amazing and just what the family needed since July was such a hard month for us. Just wanted to let my parents know that the family loves them and we really appreciate all that they do us. Love you mom and dad. Thanks for the wonderful trip!!!

Secondhand Serenade Concert

Justin surprised me with tickets to the secondhand serenade concert tonight. We saw them last year and met each other for the first time and he brought me back to the concert that we met at. He is so sweet I love him!!!

Rough Week

So this week has been rough. My grandma and grandpa got in a really bad car wreck on monday and my grandpa ended up passing away. My grandma was doing fine monday and tuesday, but on thursday morning she turned for the worse and passed away as well. But I know that they are happy together in heaven. Justin has been very comforting to me and been there when I needed him. Tonight is there viewing and tomorrow is the funeral. Thanks for everyone who has helped my mom out and the rest of the family.

Married For One Month

Justin and I have been married for one month. We both had to work on that day but Justin did surprise me by taking me out to dinner and it was nice not having to think of something to cook. I can't believe how fast it went. With in those last couple of weeks After the wedding Justin and I have really enjoyed spending time together. Our ward is really nice they even put together a coed soccer team that Justin and I play on.

We both have been very busy working and making sure that we get the bills paid off in time. We both love the summer time because he isn't doing school right now so it gives us a chance to hang out more. We have a lot of fun things planned for the summer hiking, golfing and camping. We went to some concerts together and still have some more to go to. Also have some fun trips coming up with my family. Will write about when we get back.
