• We walked a lot!!!
• We went to the body exhibition (I liked it, Miguel didn't like it so much)
• We saw the show Zumanity.
• We toured Tahiti Village, a vacation ownership program in order to get our almost free tickets to the shows.
• We walked some more!!
• We went to Happy Hour at the Tequila Bar.
• We lost a bunch of money, but had fun while doing it. :)
• We sat by the pool some more.
• Of course our vacation wouldnt' be complete without our two stops to In and Out Burger in St. George on the way there and back.

GIRLS NIGHT

A couple weeks ago we had girls night with a few girls from work. We went to the Cheesecake Factory and played Wii!! It was a lot of fun!! Here are some fun pictures.

Happy Anniversary...almost!

Believe it or not we have almost been married a year. We had dinner at my parents house a couple weeks ago and decided to break out our cake since we were all together and we will be celebrating our actual anniversary in Vegas. We froze the top of our cake after the wedding and haven't seen it since. Here it is!! It was actually very good!

New Puppy

A few weeks ago my parents got a new dog. He is half Maltese and half Bichon. He is very cute and very playful. We have all been trying to come with a name for weeks now and can't agree on anything. I think my parents have finally decided on Kobe. We'll see if it sticks.

It's been a while...

I haven't posted for a while. I have had a swarm of tests the past few weeks so posting a blog has been the last thing on my mind. Now, as I sit here on a Friday night I have decided to update you on our lives the past couple of weeks. I have made several posts so read below and please send a comment or two!!

Free Burrito Night at Chipotle!!

For those of you that know us well at all, you know that we LOVE Chipotle and eat there quite often. Well, this past Friday it was date night at Chipotle and they were giving away free food. Of course we had to go!! Here are a couple pictures of us way too full to even move!! We actually rode our bikes to Chipotle so we had to sit there for quite a while to let our food digest. Ahhh, it was SO good!!

Race for the Cure 2008

It is a tradition that we go to the Race for the Cure every year. (we only walked, but next year we are planning on running). Here we are this year! This is my mom (left) and her friend Judi (right).
This is Miguel being a dork eating an orange. I think this is right before I won a pair of New Balance shoes. Wahooo!!

Our Trip to the Zoo!

A couple weeks ago we went to the zoo. I hadn't been for a long time, it was kind of fun. My favorite part of the zoo was the monkey's. These pictures are a few of the animals we saw.

What is he doing??

That's right, Miguel is polishing his bike. He spent about 45 minutes scrubbing, shining and perfecting. You may laugh, but the funny thing is that this isn't even his favorite bike. He has a fancy yellow bike that sits on a shrine in our apartment. He told me that when he cleans this bike it will take about 2 hours!! Miguel loves his bikes, both of them, but the yellow one is his pride and joy. If we ever lived in a place where we didn't have room for it, I would probably go before the bike. I love that he has this hobby and I wish he had more time to ride. I just thought it was so funny when I walked in and saw him cleaning/polishing his bike!

Ahhhh....cute!!!

This is Miguel and a few of his cousins. I don't think I have ever seen him hold a baby before, it was very cute!!

Fat, Out of Shape and Frustrated!!

This is something kind of personal for me and I don't like to talk about it much, but here it goes. I've been talking for weeks, even months now about how I want and need to lose some weight. This weekend I think I have finally realized that it is a necessity. Growing up I used to dance 4 or 5 times a week for 4 or 5 hours each day so I never really had to worry about exercising or anything because I was definitely getting the workout I needed. For the past few years I have really been struggling with eating too much and never wanting to exercise. I have been busy, lazy and just not wanting to do it. I feel like I have tried to lose the weight by eating better, joining weight watchers and a little bit of exercising here and there. The truth is I haven't tried hard enough, I know I can try harder and I will!! I know you may be thinking that I don't really need to lose weight because that is what a lot of people tell me and probably what I have been telling myself. I have been told by my doctor that I need to lose a little. I know I would feel better about myself as well. A few years ago I found out I have some thyroid problems and that is supposed to make it harder to lose the weight, which may be part of the problem, who knows. Next April I would like to run in either the half or full marathon. I have been trying to run for the past couple months and I am horrible!! I have no endurance whatsoever!!! This is one of my goals and I'm going to try my hardest and not give up. I also just want to be healthier and have more energy. So, starting tomorrow, April 14 I am turning over a new life. I am going to stop drinking soda and also stop my weekly tan iced mocha for a few weeks to see if either of these things make a difference on how I feel. This is going to be hard and I may be grouchy this week, but it will be worth it. I know diet soda isn't THAT bad for you, but I just want to stop for a while and see how I feel. I am also going to make regular trips to the gym or go for a walk or run outside or even do a workout DVD in the privacy of my own home. My time is few and far between with school every night and working but I am going to make this work. I am going to eat better and watch my portion sizes, which I think is one of my biggest issues. Thank you all for listening to me vent about this stupid weight issue that has been bothering me for months now. I am excited to lose a few pounds and go out to the pool feeling comfortable this summer. I love you all!! Thanks for your support!!

School starts on Monday!!

Judging by the nursing titles you can probably guess that all these books are mine. What you might be surprised to know is that not only are they all mine, but they are ALL for the 3 classes I am taking next quarter. School for me starts on Monday and these are all the books I am going to be studying, no more free time for me. I am taking Microbiology, Nutrition and Nursing Fundamentals. I am going to be going to school Monday - Thursday nights...crazy!!! You thought Miguel and I never saw each other before, now it's going to be even worse. We are going to have to plan our lives out and schedule everything. Besides the amount of books I am going to be studying and not being able to see Miguel as much, I am very excited for the upcoming quarter. It is getting more interesting and we're now finally getting into the nursing stuff, i'm going to learn a lot!! It's going to take a lot of time, dedication and organization on my part, but I am motivated and I know I can do it. Wish me luck!!

Easter

Easter came way too early this year, I wasn't quite ready. For the past few years we haven't really done much on Easter so I wanted to do something this year. I made a reservation for brunch at Market Street Grill. My mom was out of town so it was me, Miguel and my dad that enjoyed the festivities. It was actually nice to get out and do something different for a change. I had the salmon and eggs benedict, it was delicious!! I have taken a new liking for fish...I know...strange. I took my camera along and had good intentions to take pictures, but like always I either forget or there is nobody around to take our picture. When Miguel and I got back to our apartment we set the camera on the timer and got a few snap shots. Other than that our day consisted of cleaning, laundry and relaxing. I hope you all had a very Happy Easter!!!

I HATE Migraine's!!!

Yes, that's right, I hate migraine headaches! I was having the most perfect afternoon yesterday, I was going to study, play outside, go to the gym, do laundry, clean the car and get everything done I needed to get done until....BAM!! If you have ever had a migraine before you know when they are coming. I was contently sitting at my computer typing up a study guide for my test this week when I noticed my eyes started going blurry and something wasn't right. I have these pills I am supposed to take when I feel the symptoms coming so I took one of those quickly! Needless to say it didn't help, things just kept getting worse. I couldn't type, I couldn't think, I was a mess!! All I could do was lay down and they hard part about that was that I wasn't even tired. I knew the only way to get rid of the stupid thing was to sleep in a dark quiet room. First of all it's hard to sleep when your head is pounding and the room is spinning and second I was far from tired. Anyways, this lasted FOREVER!! I ended up crying for about 3 hours last night, it was awful!! Miguel wasn't home so it was just me, so sad. It hurt like no tomorrow, I just wanted to die!! If childbirth is at all like a migraine, no kids for me, i hate it!!! Fortunately I don't get these nasty things too often, but no matter when they are it's often enough. The only thing that I can think that triggered it was maybe too much caffieine. I did have a little too much yesterday and never will I do it again. So, anyways, now it's Monday night at about 9:00pm and and I am beginning to see the computer much clearer, but still not perfect. I guess these dumb things can last anywhere from 4 - 72 hours!!!! YIKES!!! What a waste of a day!! This all started at about 4pm yesterday and now, 29 hours later I've got nothing accomplished other than crying, feeling sorry for myself and missing a day of work. I hate missing work, especially clinic days!!! I hope all of my work buddies know that I felt horrible and if i could have been there I would have. Anyways, that is my migraine story. For those of you that have to deal with these nasty things i am sorry, I feel your pain!!
