The play of the “Ten Virgins”
In costume for the play.
Our stake put on the play “The Ten Virgins” and I had the opportunity to be a part of it. I was one of the wicked virgins but I loved my song “Magnificent Work”. It was a wonderful testimony builder about being prepared for the “Bridegroom” or our Savior to come again.
California Adventure with the Miles
At the end of May we went on a huge vacation. We flew to California to go to the California Adventure theme park. It was my first time and we had a great time with Christian’s family- Greg, Sue, Tanner and Lindsay. It was so great to see them and spend time with them again.
2 Year Anniversary in Amish Country
For our 2 Year Anniversary Christian wanted to take me to somewhere special. Being poor college students we couldn’t go too far. We decided to go to Charm, Ohio for a visit to Amish Country. We visited cheese factories, Amish homes, went horseback riding, and ate delicious food. It was gorgeous, very quiet and peaceful. We learned a lot about the Amish and gained a greater respect for them. It was an awesome vacation and we look forward to going back someday.
Eric and Carolyn Visit
My brother Eric called to let us know his friend Carolyn was coming to visit. They met at BYU-I and she wanted to come see Eric during her spring break. She is originally from Alaska and is the youngest of 6 kids. We were so excited to meet her!
When they arrived we all went to Terry’s Turf Club for burgers. They were big, delicious, and juicy! The cool thing about it is the whole restaurant is lit by florescent signs. It was also fun to eat peanuts and throw the shells on the ground.
We then headed back home to play games. We played a card game named Guillotine-”The Revolutionary Card Game that you win by getting a head”! It was fun and of course the girls won.
Of course we had to get dessert. We went to a little candy shop in Bellevue called Schneider’s Sweet shop. We all got ice cream and sat outside enjoying the warm beautiful weather.
Then we went down to the Levee where were walked over the Purple People Bridge that connects KY to OH. We took some amazing pictures! The night was a blast and we loved getting to know Carolyn better.

Playing in the snow
Last October we met Steven and Jessica Griffiths at the stake Trunk or Treat activity. We have been great friends ever since. We all went to BYU and have a lot in common. We met our spouses in the same month, climb Mt timp in the same month, got married in the same month and both Christian and Steven went to Ukrain for their missions! They are a lot of fun and great friends. They just had a little boy named James who is adorable.
These are pics of us all playing in the snow. The snow didn’t make very good snow balls so we made 3D snowpeople. Steven even made a “snow globe”.

Disneyland 2010
For Christmas each year we alternate visiting our parents. Christmas 2010 we spent with my parents and New Years we spent with Christian’s family at Disneyland. I love visiting with all of our family throughout the christmas season.
Disneyland was a lot of fun! It was great to see Sue, Greg, Tanner, and Lindsay again.

21st Birthday
My 21st Birthday was great! We celebrated the day before on Saturday and I got my hair cut and highlighted and a PEDICURE! If you have never had one you are missing out on one of the most relaxing and luxurious experiences. Christan made me a confetti cake which was scrumptious. I am pretty excited I get a drivers license that is horizontal!
