My trip to Utah

My sister Raquel and her daughter Ivy

I finally got to take a week trip to Utah and visit some family and friends. Justin was not able to go due to work I got to go by myself. Couple days before my mom and my sister and her twin boys come up for a quick trip to see me and than I rode back with them to Utah. We left Friday morning July 8th. Last year my parents decided to get a boat so that my dad could use it to go fishing but I think my sisters and parents use it more for going boating, tubing. wake boarding. That Saturday the 9th I wanted to go boating so we got the boat ready to take out to the lake. My whole family was able to come with me except of course Justin and a couple of my sisters were not able to make it. I was debating on taking my camera but really didn't want to get it wet sorry no pictures of the boat trip. Monday it was Justin's twin sister's birthday. So I met up with them and Justin's parent's for dinner went to Texas Roadhouse. Through out the week my mom and I watched the kids and had fun enjoying everybody that I visited. The kids did get a chance to get in the kiddie pool that my mom bought for the kids and they loved that. We also went and played miniature golf at cherry hills. Wow that place has a changed a lot since the last time I had played there, and again I was terrible at taking pictures this trip I was having so much fun. But I did get some of the kids playing outside in the pool. At the end of the month Justin and I are going to Utah for a wedding and my dad's birthday so I will get pictures for that. Well I hope you enjoy reading my blog. Hopefully not to boring for reading. 

Fourth of July

So this fourth of July we actually ended up doing something together. Last year when we lived in Utah Justin ended up working on the Fourth of July. This year we went on a hike with some friends Tim and Annie they are from Arizona. Justin and I originally didn't have anything scheduled and our friends did have some plans with some family up in the area but they were free during the day. So they invited us to go on a hike with them which was fun but very hot seeing how we decided to go right at noon. The view from the hike was really nice and got some great views of downtown Boise. Afterwards we decided to go to the Old State Penitentiary jailhouse and took a tour it was really interesting place to learn about. We than packed lunches and found a park and enjoyed the nature around us. Later that night we both really tired and didn't feel like going to fireworks I know who doesn't see fireworks. But we did watch them on the T.V. which was nice cause we didn't have to fight the crowds and be in traffic.

Old Ye Renaissance Fair

Today Justin and I were invited by some friends in our apt complex to come to this Renaissance Fair that Justin's friend heard about. Justin and I figured why not lets give it a shot it could be fun. So we ended up going after lunch time. It actually turned out to be really fun. The weather was not fun though. We had been there for about 30 minutes and it started to sprinkle but that didn't seem to bother us. We walked around looking at different booths and listened to some of the stories and saw entertainment including some skits from Shakespeare. There was even one booth that had some pirates there. By the time we were ready to go it started pouring so I am glad that we got there before it got to this point. Well enjoy some pictures from this day.

Our New Apartment

Living room/Family room

Our apartment is so awesome and we are both loving it, much better than the Wymount Terrace apartments we were living in. We do miss it a little bit but I don't miss the Cinder Block Walls I love that we A/C here in the new apartment. I can't believe that we have been in this apartment for one month the time is going so fast. Justin seems to be liking his job with Micron. As for me I have not been having so much luck with the job hunt. I have applied for several jobs and have heard back from three of them so far and no luck. The thing that stinks is I worked as a Medical Assistant and a lot of the clinics up here hire nurses. So the jobs I have been applying for want experience and I don't really have the experience they are looking for. So while Justin is working I have been looking online for jobs and it has been very stressful. But I know that Lord will have something planned for me and everything will work out. I have not taken pictures of the apartment yet like I said bad at taking pictures but I'll work harder at that and get some pictures up.

Memorial Weekend

So this year for memorial weekend we didn't have any plans since we live in Boise now. I was trying to convince Justin to let us go back to Utah to visit family but we just got back from a pretty big vacation for our anniversary. Plus I had just found out that my family was going to St. George to go boating and visit my sister. On the Friday before the memorial weekend Justin's mom called us and wanted to spend the memorial weekend with us instead of the family in Utah this year. This totally made my day and was so excited to see them. So when they arrived it was late Friday so we watched some T.V. than went to bed. The next day Justin and I had planned to go to the temple and they came with us. The Boise Temple is pretty and we had a great time. Afterwards we went to Tucanos for his parents birthday and got to use the gift cards they had for their birthday we love Tucanos. We went to church had some dinner and they were heading home on Monday. Even though it was a short trip we sure did enjoy them coming up to see us!!! I was so excited I forgot to get some pictures of them up here I am not good with taking pictures I'll even have the camera in sight and just forget. I need to work on that. 

Moving Day Anniversary Trip

The day is finally here and we have everything packed up in the U-Haul truck. Thanks for all the family that helped load up the truck. We did find out from the apartment complex that we are moving into that we can't move in till May 4, 2011. So for the next two days we are going to stay at my parents house and move up on May 2nd and be in a hotel for two days. My birthday is on May 1st so we are celebrating with the family wahoo. So we leave on May 2nd and get to Boise. We just had to leave the truck parked at the complex till we could move in. This month our 2nd year anniversary was coming up on May 9, 2011. Justin was going to a google conference in San Francisco that he has always wanted to go to. I told him that would be fine but didn't realize that he was going to be gone over our anniversary and I was going to be alone in our new apartment. So I was trying convince him to let me stay at my parents while he was in San Francisco. Little did I know he had surprised me and was taking me with him to celebrate our anniversary. It was the perfect surprise and we both had a lot of fun exploring San Francisco I had never been there. We went to the Golden Gate Bridge, Pier 39 Ghirardelli Square, Alcatraz, Coit Tower and enjoyed the city. Once I figure out how to get the pictures to fit to size I will put some up. Since I am still new at this Blogging thing. 

Finals Week

Wahoo Justin has finals this week and than he will be done with school and be graduating. We have been waiting for this day and it is finally coming. He will be done with school on April 22, 2011. Future plans Justin did get a job with Micron up in Boise ID so we will be moving up there on May 2nd. We are sad to leave some friends and the family but we both are excited for the adventures that it is going to bring us. It will be weird living in a new area but we are ready for it. I will be spending the next couple of days packing up everything while still doing work.
