"We like to move it (move it)..."

It's official! We have moved!!

I would post some pictures of our new place but we're still getting acquainted (or should I say trying to get less acquainted) with our moving boxes... and needless to say... our house merely on its way to becoming a home! But we both definitely love it here already! The weather is always sunny and warm (though I'm sure I'll be cursing it in the next couple of months) and it is so nice to have family around!

In the midst of our intense packing... one very special event I forgot to mention was our adventure to Cirque du Soleil's ALEGRIA! with the Toblers! It was an incredible show and cameras were not allowed in so this was the only picture we have to remember the evening. We're showing our tickets because that's the only proof that we weren't just taking this picture for kicks outside of any building on campus...

Anyway, until next time!

Tacos don Rafa!!

BEST TACO STAND IN THE WORLD.

Seriously.

BEST.

EVER.

If you go to Salt Lake City, you MUST go here!

It's on the corner of State St. and 800 South. Park in the old Sear's parking lot, and make sure you go to the stand that is on STATE ST not the one on 800 (there are two on that corner and you have to pick the right one!). Tacos are two for $1.50 and burritos are $3.00. Just go, you won't be disappointed.

The face of pure joy.

Yes, my mouth is full... but check out Nick's cheeser!
Shockingly, he hasn't been practicing that!

Yummy!!!

The Sunshine State


On Monday our close friends Kylie and Ricardo Fontoura drove off to Florida. This summer, Kylie starts school at Nova, in Ft. Lauderdale (lucky kids!), and soon Ricardo will be starting dental school. Fortunately, this wasn't so much of a "good bye" as it was a "see you later!" And, since my photography skills are somewhat akin to Ansel Adams (or so I've been told... haha), I thought I'd share with you my shots of this temporary farewell event.

Kylie and Ricardo were great sports for letting me take so many pictures. I hope you two enjoy!

Salt Lake City, UT - May 17th, 2010






Good luck you two! See you later!

MOAB!


Yay for pictures!!! We finally took some!

This past weekend Nick and I went to Moab with our dear friends Carrie and Andrew! While there... we met up with our other dear friends Jocelyn and Andrew, and I must say we had the TIME OF OUR LIVES!!!

We hiked, cliff-jumped (okay... the BOYS did.. not all of us), ate, star-gazed, rafted down the Colorado river and basically... you should be jealous!

And now to show you the weekend!

Moab, UT - May 14-16th, 2010

Our luxurious log cabin. Hahaha, I almost said "luxurious" with a straight face.

"Sad-face" Andrew. Apparently he's an even lighter sleeper than I am! Poor guy!

The girls! (please ignore the fact that I'm cheesing it up... it must have been really bright...)

At the ever-so-famous Delicate Arch!

Left Hand a.k.a. the local's hang out where you can literally witness people risk their lives jumping off 40 ft ledges into about 6 or 7 ft of water!

Freezing at Dead Horse Point and ready to see some stars! My only goal was to see a shooting star and I'm proud to say that I witnessed TWO!

Carrie taught me how to paddle in the most difficult paddle boat that was ever inflated!

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream!

Hmmm...

FACT: Nick and I need to get better at taking pictures! When we do... we'll have something more to post about!

In the meantime... ENJOY LIFE EVERYBODY! I KNOW WE ARE!!

P.S. Happy Mother's Day all you mom's out there! (and future-moms-to-be!)

Exciting Times!!

I have GOT to get better at keeping this updated. But in the meantime... it is time to announce some exciting news! Yes, it's true, I HAVE OFFICIALLY GRADUATED!!! These are some of the pictures my camera was able to snap. Just thought I'd share them with you as proof that the impossible is possible! Thanks you all for your support and love these past four (if not more...) years!
