Life Happens.... To Be Awesome!

Hey Guys! Its been a while! Brian and I have had a great 2014.  We are loving life and go on WAY too many trips!  :) Here is a highlight of this year so far..

A perfectly candid photo that describes our relationship perfectly!

Nailed it, honey!

This was at the blarney castle in Ireland

"That's Buckingham Palace. You plan on living there, you're going to have to marry the Queen. "

Notre Dame in Paris! We accidentally went to mass :)

So, never knew it sparkled..

Best view of the eiffel tower is right on top of the arch de triumphe

Whoever said Paris was the city of love is selling something...

It wasn't always sunshine and rainbows.. Mr grumpy gills.

...But most times it was!!

Paris was great, especially when watching the sun go down!

We love this castle..not going to lie. I wouldn't mind going a 3rd time... ;)

Neuschwanstein in the background. Thanks Mom and Sam for coming with us on such an amazing trip.
I must say, this was a chilly trip, so we decided to head on down to some warmer weather!

Grand Cayman! We love cruises. We are now on a pattern of going to Europe and cruise..then Europe then cruise...Whats next??? You've guessed it!

Kenzie is hilarious when she is in the water with sting rays.  It was pretty epic.

The food alone is worth the trip! (Just don't stuff yourself)

Mexico babes!

Belize was completely amazing! We had a great time at the Mayan ruins.

Beach day!...

Highlight of the trip was winning a boat on a stick! Charades had nothin' on us

This is out of order, back in Belize at the Ruins. Thats Brian and James up there..

I realized on this trip, once a boy, always a boy

This describes cruises in one picture. Lazing and loving the warmth!

Getting our Geek on.

Boat riding in Belize

Honduras (the place I burned)

This was a cute dress purchased in Germany! Love it!

Needless to say, we had a great time on our 2 big trips. Brian is currently working as a nurse at the university hospital in Salt Lake, which he loves. I have also been able to see my sister Jennifer in Washington! Those pictures are to come. Also, I think this is a better time than any to announce our 3rd trip to Europe! (Coming September 2014)

Havasupai

Last October, I went to Havasupai in the Grand Canyon with my family.  It was an amazing trip. 

These waterfalls were incredible! 

This was a great group to go on this adventure with

To get down to the waterfall, we had to climb  down this.....

It was a great trip and I hope next time Brian can come, too!!

Brian's fake graduation

I love my husband and how hard he works at the byu nursing program!  He makes me so proud. I have the most amazing guy that I get to call mine. He is happy all the time and always talks so positively to me. That really makes me want to be a better person. This weekend, his family came to town to celebrate Brian's fake graduation!  The reason it is fake is because he actually has one semester left. Byu doesn't have a winter graduation, only a spring/summer one. His whole class decided that they wanted to walk a semester early because no one knew if they could make it back in April 2014 for the spring graduation. Enough of my rambles, here are some pictures for graduation!

That is him heading for his diploma!

That is him shaking the deans hand. He also has a batman quote up there under his name. 

His class of 64 soon-to-be nurses 

Love my little graduate!

Brian's family was awesome to come down!

It was hot outside and I am laughing really hard at Brian 

The end :)

It's been a while

Well it has been quite some time since I last posted. I am also about a year and a half behind!  Here are a few little things we have done this summer since I got my phone.. The next post will be what I did while Brian was in Taiwan!

While Brian was in Taiwan this summer, I died my hair red! He came home on our anniversary! It was great to see him again. It was fun to tour salt lake too. 

We went to the rodeo with our good friends Brady and Laura. 

I was able to babysit Scott and Cyndi's baby while they packed up and move. We sure miss them!

Then we went to okc to see my family! My parents came home from an 18 month mission in Cyprus and all my siblings were there for the homecoming talk. Here are a few pictures of being in okc...
