TuCsOn

Well we have made our move and been here for almost a month... wow I suck at blogging... anyways... this is a picture of the beautiful desert sunset. GORGEOUS! We haven't done much of anything the past couple weeks because my job transfer didn't go through as planned, but I am now finally working at least a few days a week. We have spent A LOT of time together that's for sure. Lots of time at the pool and on our couch ha. We've gone to Phoenix a few times for baseball games and to the temple. It's so wierd not having 5 temples within 20 minutes. We definitely took them for granted. I decided that we will live in Mesa if we stay in Arizona. It was like Utah... churches... beautiful neighborhoods with grass.. ah heaven... anyways back to reality! We absolutely love our ward. Tons of young couples and a few men are in law school so Brad has enjoyed their advice. They sure have kept us busy though.. so far we have cleaned the church, I said the prayer in sacrament meeting, Brad spoke with a high councilman, and we got callings! Ha We are both going to be in scouts... I don't know how I feel about this one cause I know NOTHING about scouting so I hope I can help these boys! Anywho... We've loved it here so far and are all settled in!

Our 2nd Anniversary

July 31, 2010

So... I got home from work on Friday the 30th and Brad said to pack a bag D and we were off... There are lots and lots of resorts in Tucson... it's paradise... and he booked a night for us at the Omni Resort. WAY NICE!!! We arrived and went to hang out at the pool (we do lots of that these days). After ordering smoothies.. chocolate banana for me..mm.. and hangin out for a while we went back to the room to get ready for a fancy dinner at the steakhouse they have at the resort. BEST steaks we have EVER eaten. Bradley was embarassed to ask the server to take our picture and so he made sure she knew it was our anniversary so it didn't look as bad! After dinner we hung out again at the pool in the cabanas and started swimming again when it began to rain! yay!!! When we went back to our room someone had left us chocolate covered strawberries and champagne and a note to have a happy anniversary! How sweet!!! We love being treated so well! The next morning Brad had flowers delivered to the room he is such a sweetheart! I can't believe its already been 2 years! It's gone by so fast and I've loved every minute of it. I'm so excited for our next couple years here in Tucson!

We've Moved!

Well we finally made the long journey to tucson...and it was long...13 hours at least! But we are glad to be all moved in now. We definitely owe a lot to our families for all the help that they gave us we really couldn't have done it without them. It is so HOT and has been pretty humid since we got here. Our ward seems nice and we can't wait to start making friends. Our apartment is still in disarray but I will put pictures up when it looks all cute!

BeGiNiNg Of SUMMER!!!!

Bradley and I went camping over memorial weekend at Tanner's Flat. It was really nice and relaxing and we got a way good spot next to the river! The only downfall... it was freezing and there were still patches of snow! bah! My Mom, Dad, Sean, and Jenna came to visit for a minute!

Its also time for BEES games! We got our season pass again this year and we've gone to quite a few games already.. it's great...

AND WE MOVE IN 1 MONTH!!!! AHHHHH!!!!

Wonderful Night

Tonight Brad and I were able to go out to dinner with my G&G Larson. I am seriously so happy for the times that we are able to spend with them. Last summer I gave them both a journal/personal history book full of questions to answer about their lives and I'm happy to report that they both have completed their personal histories. I am so grateful to have these histories. They are fun to read and so interesting and I have learned so much about them. It's also great because they were able to share funny stories about my dad and siblings. I can't believe how much of my grandpa I see in my dad and sean. I love my family so much!!! AHH!! I only regret not being able to have my Grandma Belliston (my mom's mom) complete a journal... but then again I was in high school I guess I didn't know any better. I have gotten some background on my Grandpa Belliston, but definitely need to talk to him more! I am so grateful that Brad and I can share the experience that we have of getting to know them and their pasts before we move. I will miss my family here the most. Here are some random pictures I have from my high school graduation cause they have my grandparents in them!Couple on far left-G&G Larson-then Aunt Lyn and Uncle Jim, Aunt Wendy, Cousin Collin, Jenna, and G Belliston.

Joey and Kandace's Wedding

I just LOVE weddings!! Everyone is always so happy and in love! haha Joey and Kandace had a beautiful ceremony it made me cry! I think I have cried at each ceremony We have gone to... i'm such a bawl baby! Their reception was gorgeous and fun.. mmm... they had delicious crepes! And of course we got both cars with fun decorations!!! :) great day!

LONG WEEK...finally over..

This week I spent 60 hours of my life standing on my feet in the wonderful business called wal-mart pharmacy... The more time I spend at work the more upset I get with people... seriously i need to get a new job without so many stupid people running around everywhere... here are a few things i witnessed and vow to NEVER do in my life... 1. Put my children on leashes... i don't care what you have to do as far as strapping the kid in the cart but do it just don't put them on a leash!!! 2. If you do put children on leashes... Don't allow your other children to hold the end of the leash therefore giving the child on the leash whiplash everytime they try to run somewhere.. seriously grow up and learn to have control over your children... you think its bad now??? wait until they have their own freaking car... grrrr.. no wonder people are getting more and more stupid... 3. If your child is screaming/crying/having a panic attack in your local grocery store... seriously get them to shut it or get out of the store... there was this kid screaming bloody murder for no joke 20 minutes it was freaking ridiculous and gave me a headache not to mention everyone else in the store. Come on people... I'M WORKING HERE!!!! 4.GET OFF YOUR CELL PHONES!!! seriously it is so rude and makes more more angry everytime I go to help someone and apparently my time isn't as valuable to them as their conversation is... have some RESPECT... I'm trying to give you the right prescription which i would say is pretty important and you can't shut the phone... eh... 5.I'm all for helping people when they need help, but it really bothers me to see people really abusing the medicaid system.. seriously... I know this is harsh but if you get your nails done every week, buy brand name of EVERYTHING, and buy like 5 12 packs of soda everytime you come to get your prescription.... you really need a change of lifestyle... NOT help from the rest of the tax paying people who live check to check. grrr... those are just my two cents about what i see at my job... i think i might start doing this weekly... helps me to vent!!! haha Anyways.. This week should be fun we are having the girls and one boy in our class over for a pizza and movie party for memorizing the articles of faith... at least the first 4... it has sure been a challenge every week... but at least we got four out of some of them! 3 of the girls are like almost finished memorizing them.. they are so smart!!! We love our primary class i will be sooooo sad when we move and have to leave them! Even though they like Brad a heck of a lot more than they like me... Also our friends kandace and joey are getting married! yay! I love going to weddings!!! I have three more to go to this year! I'm so excited! Hope all is well... and you don't think i'm a meanie...
