Photo's of our trip with Doug and Sue to Tombstone

We had such a good time this labor day weekend with them and were so grateful that they could spend so much time with us!

First of all... Ever since bradley got home our lives have been absolutely crazy!!! bah. let me share...

• The weekend before he got home-bradley went to denver for a job interview... the next day we went to kanab for nessa and shadoe's reception.
• The next weekend we went to phoenix to clean out his apartment and move him out officially. and helped his friend darren move in.We stayed up way too late altogether this weekend... til 2 AM friday and saturday. we aren't young enough for that.
• This past weekend we went to Utah for Nessa and shadoe's other reception. Yet again we stayed up until 2 AM friday and saturday. Did not help the fact we were tired already... Bradley went to the Bingham/Alta game and I went to Park City with the girls for Jill's bachelorette party. Thanks Jill for a fun night!
• This next weekend Doug and Sue are coming to visit. We will be taking them to explore bisbee. I can't wait. I just want to shop in the little stores all day long!!!
• The weekend after... we are going to LAS VEGAS!! 1. for an interview that brad has w/ a firm there. 2. bradley will be 27.. (almost 30.. how old) haha jk

hopefully after that craziness will end. probably not. but that's how our life goes. anywho...here are our pics from the two receptions!!

The Happy Family.

Bradley w/ Baby Chance.

The cutest baby EVER.

Not kidding.

We celebrated our 3rd anniversary here:

At the Ritz Carlton in Marana!

I can't believe we have been married for 3 years! It has flown right by. I love Brad more and more everyday. He does so much for me and i couldnt have a more perfect husband for me. He loves me unconditionally and has helped me through a lot this year. I love that our marriage is eternal. I couldn't picture living without him. He is soooo amazing!!! and I love him sooo much!

I got bradley some ray bans and swimsuit he's been wanting...

He had an edible arrangement delivered to the room and he got me a Burberry watch! I loved it!!!

Tonight instead of unpacking... which I have a lot of unpacking to be doing... CAUSE I'M HOME!!! I am watching SYTCD and loving it... also i have bradleys old laptop. I am going through pictures I haven't seen in ages and didn't even remember!!! I thought oh my... I am starting to look old. Seriously... I used to have these like baby cheeks now i just look old. AHHH!!! Maybe that's why i don't look good without glasses anymore... hmm.. how to get baby cheek face back... it's a lost cause!

But i liked this picture in particular... because... It was the night I caught the bouquet at our friends Lacey and Jasons reception in october of 07. and my mother wanted a picture... brad was like are you kidding?? and I though we are totally getting married one day... and almost a year later we were!!! yay!!!

Oh how i miss this man... I miss his silly songs he sings to me.. how he is really really annoying in the morning... I miss his company more than anything!!!

In 2 and 1/2 weeks we will be celebrating our 3rd anniversary! I cannot believe that we have been married for 3 years!

ramblings...

Well Bradley and I have had a good few weeks since the last time I blogged.. We went to Lake Powell and then I stayed in Phoenix for a few more days which meant we spent almost an entire week together which hasn't happened since before he moved! My parents and Jenna came to visit for Fathers day which was nice. I love seeing family. We've eaten at many new resturaunts... brad's new hobby is buying GROUPONS, DOUBLE DAILY DEALS, AND LIVING SOCIAL COUPONS. It's been fun cause we always have something to do! While I was in Phoenix Bradley bought me a groupon to a hair salon called the DRY BAR. It's a fancy schmancy place in scottsdale that only washes your hair.. with a nice massage i might add... then blow dry and do your hair... um.. can I just say i don't think my hair had ever looked so good... only wish I was skilled enough to do it myself! That night once brad got off work we went to a buffet at one of the indian casinos. This was the night that crazy dust storm hit phoenix.. it was sooo crazy to see! I miss seeing him everyday sooo much!!! So.. one thing thats been boggling around on my mind is food stamps and our country's welfare program. Just a fore warning.... These are simply my thoughts, I truly do not mean to offend anyone. In my adult life Brad and I have been extremely lucky as far as finances go. We haven't had to worry about whether we made rent and ate and paid the rest of our bills. My family wasn't wealthy growing up, I don't know if my parents ever had to use food stamps or not. I don't think that the welfare program is a bad thing, I just think it isn't restricted enough and is sooooo abused!!! So...Brad and I were making our last minute grocery stops late saturday night. The couple in front of us, of course had their 3 year old with them... I still don't understand that... On the grocery conveyer belt thingy were like 5 things of pringles and a bag of chocolates among other "non-healthy junk foods". They used food stamps. For me as a person who loves junk food, I still consider it to be a privelege. If I have extra money I spoil myself and get a treat. I don't waste my food money on junk. and this is where I believe our welfare system has failed our country. It doesn't not promote healthy lifestyles or budgeting whatsoever!!! And I don't see how people don't have a problem with this! I truly don't mind that my tax dollars go to feed the hungry, but I would really prefer if they didn't go to making people and their children fat which results in more health issues that my tax dollars go to again to pay for their medicaid. So... I really want to look more into our welfare program and where it went wrong. Why aren't all food stamps like wic??? Wic makes perfect sense to me. It promotes healthy living. Food stamps that people can buy soda, chips, candy and waste it on that does not!! Well those are my two cents... its time to try to sleep now... hope the doggy doesn't wake me up at 4:00 in the morning.

We've got our sunglasses on... constantly... ITS GETTING HOT!!!! Little Anthony's Wipe Out.

After a Tucson Torros game we went to dessert with John and Megan.

First of all.... Little Anthony's is this 1950's themed ice cream shop. It is so fun!

This was our second time going there and we loved it! We decided to all share the WipeOut.

The WipeOut consists of 14 scoops of ice cream, ONE can of whipped cream, lots of v

anilla wafers, and brownies.. They turn on the song Wipeout and deliver this giant bowl on a surf board that says wipeout... haha it was hilarious!!!! And SOOO delicious!!!

We have been loving our weekends together! The weeks fly by and the weekends don't last long enough. The bbq is so nice. I miss bradleys grilling sooo much and we need to move asap to a place that allows our grill!!!! We went to the king tut show... i guess you could call it. they have all the things that were in his tomb and the history of it. I love egyptian history. It is so interesting! We were asked to teach the temple prep class at church. I'm really excited! I think it will help us to get an even better understanding of the temple and its importance. This Sunday I am teaching the MiaMaids about part of the temple. I am so excited! I love the Young Women and I really wish I could be a leader! Last Friday I got to talk to them at girls camp about the importance of getting an education and how they can't just wait for their prince charming to come along. All of these assignments must mean something!!! So...before I got asked to talk to the YW about education I had been pretty content on never going back to school even though deep down inside I knew I needed to! Sooooo... after contemplating what I should go back to school for I have decided... dun dun dun... Paralegal! I really want an office job. I need a big change of scenery!!! I want to dress up and be a professional!!! and a perk is that i will know what the heck my husband is talking about all the time and even help him out once in a while when I become a stay at home mom. So I start my 2 year program in the fall and I couldn't be more excited! I can't wait to have social interactions.... fill my time with useful things and challenge my brain... it needs some challenging! Wish me luck!

Well tonight there was a Relief Society ice cream and family history social. I have to admit I love family history, but I only really like finding out how people lived, their life story, and what they thought about life. I think I've posted about this before, but I am so grateful for the treasures my grandparents gave to me that are their personal histories! Thanks grandma and grandpa Larson. They have always been such a great example to me and are amazing people. I have enjoyed reading their stories and thoughts and I will forever treasure them! They are serving their third mission for our church currently in Philadelphia the other missions they've been on have been to Cyprus and Italy. (for those of you who aren't LDS.. seniors who are retired often go on missions to work as missionaries,be mission presidents, or work in the office! They help keep all the 19-21 year old missionaries in line and help the missions run smoothly, send missionaries home and receive new ones.) I've enjoyed communicating with them through emails on their missions. I know that it has brought us so much closer together and has blessed our lives. I feel like I know them better than my other grandparents and am saddened I don't have the same opportunities with everyone. I'm also grateful for how they embraced and welcomed brad to our family with love. I love having enjoyed time with my grandparents together especially when we shared our engagement with them. I could see how proud of us and happy for us they were. I hope that I will be able to give my posterity as much information on my life as they have given me. I love you grandma and grandpa!
