Our new apartment

We are finally mostly moved into our apartment. It actually feels much bigger now that there aren't a ton of boxes all over! It is still pretty small though.

Foggy Fourth

For the 4th of July Jon and I unpacked all day and then around 9pm rode our bikes up to Twin Peaks to watch the fireworks. Unfortunately we couldn't even see our hands in front of our face it was so foggy. So then we went home and got lost driving around looking for a blockbuster. Oh and this is the first time I have had to wear two sweaters in July! (There! Are you happy now Amy? :)

San Francisco

This is Jon and Diana's life packed up into a little Uhaul on its way to a little apartment.
The first day at our new home...with our boxes.

Swirling

So I am going to play some catch up now and then hopefully will stay on top of things enough so I don't have to do this recapping thing anymore.

This video is at Amy's graduation party in the Anderson's back yard with the swirly thing that I have to ride on every time I go there. Kory was the only one that would ride on it with me...and I was sick to my stomach at the end as usual. At least I didn't throw up on him! Oh yeah and I am the one in the video that is cackling like the wicked witch of the west.



Girls night out. This was probably a month or more ago and I can't even remember what the occasion was, but I remember there was food and laughing involved!


This is what happens when you run out of diapers and there are a bunch of creative and problem solving girls around. She has a cloth diaper on underneath and the macy's grocery bag is to prevent wetness. By the way, this is Sarah's baby.

Duck and Ducky decided that our lawn was there home. It was really rainy that day and I think they got lost. We fed them our old bread and they loved us. They were our pets for the day.

Moving to San Francisco

Here is the story for anybody who is wondering. Jon Is starting dental school at UCSF this fall, so we are moving to San Francisco on June 27th in the the student housing apartments. I still do not have a job for those of you wondering...and yet you would think that being a nurse it would be easy to get a job anywhere, but it turns out it is harder you think. Man I sound bitter. Anyway this is the area of apartment. I will post more pics once we move in. Friends and family are welcome to come and stay for a visit! We will have a pull out bed in the living room for you!

This is the parking lot out side of the back of our little apartment.

Behind that beautiful couple is the view we have from our place.

This is the way down to our laundry room. It kind of feels like you are walking though a jungle.

And this is the freezing beach that is about ten minutes away from our place.

Birthday Suprise

I love flowers! These are my birthday and anniversary and graduation flowers all together. I spent like two hours taking pictures of them it made me so happy.

May 3rd was my 24th birthday. Jon brought me breakfast in bed. Our birthday tradition.

Jessica, Ashely, and Jon threw a surprise birthday party for me the day of my birthday. I must have been in a different world to not have recognized the signs of something secretive going on. Once it happened, it explained a whole lot though. I almost peeded my pants I was so surprised good job guys, you really know how to make someone feel loved. Any also to all of you who came and partied!

The party was an under the sea Little Mermaid theme.

Ariel was at my birthday party. How many of you can say that! he he he

Always getting stuck in nets and stuff

Classic Jessica and Diana head shot.

The girls....and Kory..........and Jessica's unibrow. (Someday I'll tell her that she has one)

Three years of Marriage

April 30th was our 3rd year wedding anniversary. The parents dropped of red and yellow tulips at our house that are from the actual bulbs that we planted in the back yard from our wedding reception. Ahhhhh I love tulips.







That evening Jon and I stuffed our selves silly at Octavio's. I can't believe it has been 3 years, but in some ways I feel like we have been together a lot longer. I can't wait to get all old, white, and wrinkly together!

Recap!

Wow, It has been a long time. I will try to do this chronologically from the last time I posted, so hang on… To start off, April 25 2008 my graduation from the UVSC nursing program was Friday morning at 8:00. I am so grateful to everybody who came and supported me at my graduation. I know it was boring…even I feel asleep during it.
After taking pictures and lots of hugs we headed back to the house for a little rest. In the car I received a call from my sister Rachel who said “I’m probably going to have a baby today!” WHAT?!?!?!? Rachel then continued to inform me that her water had broken that morning at 5:30, but didn’t want to say anything to take away from my graduation and stress me out. What a nice sister…Turns out when I called to tell everybody else, they already knew! So Jon and I ran home and took some more pictures quickly and then I ran over to Rachel’s house to be with her before Jon’s graduation that started at 4:00 that evening. I stayed at Rachel’s until her dula, Vanessa came and she actually took me to BYU and dropped be off at Jon’s graduation.
After Jon’s graduation, which I also slept through, we ran over to the parent’s house and partied. My parent’s had made delicious food and the house was all decorated. A couple hours later we get a call from Josh who says that Rachel is dilated to a 9. So I throw a bunch of yummy graduation food in my purse for Rachel and Josh because I feel bad that they missed out on the yumminess, and drive to Timpanogos Hospital where Rachel is just about ready to push! And a couple hours later, I’m an Aunty! What a day!!!!!! Here are some pictures to go with all that gibberish, congratulations if you made it through all that.

Graduation day! I'm free!!!!

My best girlfriends Jessica and Ashley came to support me and sit through boring graduation.
