Alabama

I was invited on a girls trip to Salt Lake to see Alabama in concert. I was a little hesitant at first, but I am so glad that I went. I got to know some of the girls better and had a little more fun than I probably should have.

The whole group

Tail-gating!

I had so much fun with this group of girls

A special thanks to Tanya and Reggi for being the DD's and taking care of all the crazies!

Spoiled Rotten

We have been talking about getting a new car for a while. Okay...let me rephrase that, I have been talking about getting a new car for a while. I looked and compared and over-thought every little detail, like I do and Brett kept telling me how picky I was, but we finally found a vehicle that we both love. 

Brett wanted me to get a truck or SUV, so that we could take it and the dogs to the mountain if we needed and so I would have four-wheel drive for winter. I wanted a new car, because they were cheaper than a new truck, so I could get more fun accessories and they got better gas mileage thena  truck. 

Brett saw this truck for sale across the street from his work and I'm pretty sure it was a sign. It is a truck (plus for Brett), gets better gas mileage than a full sized truck (plus for me), is four door (plus for me), and has a bunch of after market accessories (plus for both of us). Plus we got a screaming deal on it. It was almost impossible for us to turn it down.

Yes. I know I am a spoiled wife :)

Nephi Demolition Derby

Brett's cousin, Angela, had been telling us for weeks how awesome the Nephi Demolition Derby is. Even a few people at my work said that it was well worth it to go. I had only been to one other derby in my life and was not really impressed with it, but Angela convinced us that we needed to go. I am so glad that she did, because it was the craziest thing I had seen in a long time.

There were radiators blowing left a right, trucks being pushed out of the dirt arena, and even trucks tipped completely over.

Living Planet Aquarium

With all the holidays, Casey's wedding, and other events going on in Southern Utah, we haven't had much of an opportunity to spend a weekend out of Southern Utah. This weekend we decided to go North instead of South. Brett and I are little kids at heart, which makes life a lot more fun. Last time we were up North, we saw a sign for the Living Planet Aquarium and have been wanting to go ever since. If anyone reading this has not been...GO!!!! It was so much fun, even without kids. We literally  could have spent all day there. We saw all sorts of tropical fish, penguins, otters, and even a 4D movie about sharks. 

Unfortunately I lost all but one of my pictures I took that day.

Casey and Tayler Christensen

This was no doubt the most perfect, western wedding that I have ever seen. And one of the biggest, funnest parties that I have ever been to! We are so happy to have Tayler an official member of the family.

   Of course Brett wanted a picture ;)        These boys are some of the most good-hearted people I know

I had a blast at the after-party with these lovely ladies

Let the party begin

The Big Move: Part 2

While Brett was staying in the trailer in Manti, he looked for houses that we could rent and be able to keep our dogs. There are tons of houses for sale and just as many for rent, but finding a house that will allow pets has turned out to be a lot more difficult than we thought. But luckily he was able to find a house for us in Ephraim. It has 5 bedrooms and two bathrooms, which is more than enough for the two of us, but it is only a few blocks away from my work, super cute, and they let us keep our dogs, so we took it!

It is For Sale, so we are hoping that we won't have to find another place any time soon. We were able to move in on Monday, which gives me about a week to get all of the stuff unloaded out of the trailer before I start my job at Verisk Health on the 9th.

Desert Races

Brett loves anything that races. So when he found out that there was a desert race in Cedar City, our weekend was planned. We drove the Wildcat from New Harmony to Cedar City to watch the race.

We probably went places that we shouldn't have, but no one can deny that we had the best seats in the house!

It was so fun to see how excited Brett was and made the whole trip (and sunburn that came with) worth it.
