TEA PARTY!!!!!!!

With they way things are going in the country and all of the spending that is taking place I felt that I needed to go to the capital building yesterday and protest!!! My mother-in-law, sister and a friend from our ward and I all went to protest. It was a blast to be around so many other people who believe the same way you do. I made four signs with some really great slogans for all of us. There were some great speakers who voice what they taught and it got us all screaming. I love going to these type of events because it makes you feel that you are apart of something. It was great. We were all proud "Right Wing Extremist" hahahaha. I love politics!!!

Annual "Fab Five" Christmas Party!

We always take at least one photo like this for some-reason.
For the past 3 years my old roommates and I have been getting together for our annual Christmas Party! We have such a blast and it is great to see each other. We talk about old times and all the fun we used to have together. It was great to see everyone.

Disneyland

Well we just got back from Disneyland today and we really had a good time. Paul and I had never been to Disneyland at Christmas time and it was definitely worth going this time of year. They really do it up at Christmas. Nighttime is so beautiful. There are lights everywhere and the decorations come to life. It was also really cold (the winter blast hit) and that helped put us in the Christmas mood. We love the place and I would recommend going at this time of year. Summer is always fun but when it is all decorated up for Christmas it is just awesome.

We also went to the beach in La Jolla. It is always nice to go and relax by the beach for a while.

Why do people do this to animals??

Well, Halloween was here and Paul and I bought the dogs some costumes at Target. They are so cute!!! Lola was a pumpkin and Jett was a purple bat. They actually left them on for a while.

Utah

Will I have really never been to Utah. Everyone thinks that I have been there just because I am LDS. Not every LDS person has been there. My mom, sister and I went to Utah to visit my Aunt and her kids. They had just moved down from Oregon so now it is easier to see them. We had such a great time with them. There family is so much fun! We had movie night, craft night and then the 3rd night we were in Park City and hung out. It was fun! Park City is such a cute place. We went to the Olympic Park and went through the museum and also did the zip line down the mountain. That was fun. We actually got my mom to go down. She wanted to go back down the mountain but once you got up there the only way down was the zip line. She did it and had a great time.
We also went through the Salt Lake Temple which was so beautiful! Temple square was amazingly beautiful.
We had such a great time it was one of the best vacations I have been on!

Pioneer Day!

Today we had our Pioneer Day celebration out at the branch. Paul and I got called to a Native American branch out on the Gila Indian Community. His parents are also out there so that make things fun. We have about 20-30 people that attend the ward. It is fun. My calling's are 1st counselor in the YW and also the events chairman (everyone seems to have more than one calling). This morning we ate breakfast and then we played games outside. The little kids really like the water balloon toss. It was a blast. We then went inside and we told a few stories of what the Native American tribes used to do back in the olden days. It was interesting. When I get pictures back I will post a few.

New York City

I do not know why it has taken me a couple of weeks to put these pictures from New York. Paul and I got back a few weeks ago after spending a week in New York/Brooklyn visiting his cousin and his wife and seeing all of the sites. We had such a great time! We ha a great time walking around or maybe not so great, Paul was so tired. It was fun seeing all of the huge buildings. That town is so different than Phoenix. There are people everywhere and everyone walks everywhere. It is kind of cool and something that I could get used to. We had a great time spending time with Paul's cousins and getting to know them better. We stayed with them and it was great. They took us to all of the great local restaurants in there neighborhood and the food was great. They even got me to try sushi. That probably was not a good idea since it came up about an hour latter. :( Well at least I can say that I tried it. We also took a day trip to DC on the Am track and had a great time. Paul has never been and he loved it. It is a town that we will go back to because we did not have much time to see it all. It is a great place to visit with so much history and a great feel to it. My mom and sister also came with us on the trip and we all had a great time.
