Graduation cruise

For Dallas' graduations we decided to go on the Western Caribbean cruise. We went with the Sillito's and it was so much fun! It is so fun to see the little kids having so much fun. In Jamaica we decided to go climb the Dunn Falls. The water was really cold but the falls were amazing. In Grand Cayman we went to Seven Mile Beach to relax. They have the softest sand ever..!! I love that place. Dallas and Dan went snorkeling without very much success. In Cozumel we went to Playa Mia (a private beach.) They have a lot of amenities so we spent all day playing and relaxing on the beach...and eating nachos. Dallas went snorkeling and he saw a stingray and some other cool fish. I joined him a little later and it was really fun but I didn't get to see the stingray. It was so much fun to go on the cruise with the Sillito's and being able to celebrate the guys graduating school!

It was so windy that day

Cozumel:



Can you tell it was december? Like 2 weeks before Christmas? It was nice to enjoy nice weather before the freezing cold!

Captain's night

Liberty Jail

After South Padre we went to Utah for a whole month to set things up for the move. After that we went to Kansas to shadow Dr. Mladenoff for a few days and also for Dallas to finish his last acupuncture module. We were so close to Liberty jail and Independence, MO that we decided to go visit. It was a really good experience.

South Padre Island

I was able to run my half-marathon at South Padre Island..! it was so much fun. I had to slow down in my training but that allowed me to run in the race. My ankle hurt a little bit but nothing too bad. It was so much fun to go with the Sillito's. We rented a very nice condo a block away from the beach for really cheap. It was nice to go and relax at the beach.

stress fracture

I have been training for a half marathon that's going to take place in South Padre on Oct 4th. My ankle started bothering me last week and I just got my results from the MRI i had yesterday. Sadly to say, I do have a stress fracture like we suspected. I'm so SAD! haha I'm still planning on running in the half marathon (I already registered for it and we also paid for the condo that we are staying in) but i won't be able to do the same training for a while. I will be doing a lot of work outs in the pool. I'm going to do whatever I can to help it heal faster! haha I REALLY want to run in the race. Oh well.. at least we have the perfect excuse for a vacation on the beach!

On to a better subject, Sept 18th is my last day of work..! I'm so excited cause I get to hang out with the girls before we take off to Utah. I'm going to miss you guys once we are gone!

American Idol..!

My friend Amber invited me to the American Idol Concert. Her parents are friends with Brooke White's mom so they got us AWESOME seats and backstage passes..!! Needless to say.. we had TONS of fun..! I felt like a teenager again (not that that wasn't too long ago) haha Thanks Amber..! =D

Ranger's game and girl's camp

Soo.. I DO have very good excuses for being a procrastinator..! haha I'm trying to finish my Independent Study class which has taken me forever to finsh (still working on it) and I will have to say Breaking Dawn took ALL my attention for a while.. more on that in a later post ;)

A couple of days ago me an Dallas went to a Ranger's game.. we went on a Wednesday ONLY because they had dollar hotdogs (if you know my hubby you'll understand why haha). The line for hotdogs was FOREVER long and you could only get 5 at a time.. so Dallas had to settle with only 3.. he says that next time he'll get 5 and I'll get 5 also. It was really fun to go. I have to admit.. I love sports.. It's so sad to think that this summer is going to be the last time that we get to go to a Ranger's game.. that's why we are trying to go to as many as possible this summer before we move to Utah.. so if anybody wants to go let us know! we'll go with you guys! =) Since I am one of the YW advisors I got to go one day to girl's camp. We didn't have camp in Mexico so it was a new cool experience for me. It was sooo much fun.! I love the girls and it was so fun to hang out with them for a whole day. We did many cool activities and I couldn't but laugh at their songs..! they are hilarious..!! I am so grateful I'm their advisor because I get to be around them, they teach me so much and they have amazing testimonies. I ABSOLUTELY love these girls.

Cruise timE..!

Dallas' dad has given us cruises instead of birthdays or Christmas presents. This is the second year that we have cruised with the family and it was so much FUN! This time we took the Mexican Riviera cruise. It went to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo. One of the highlights of our cruise was that we cruised with Richard Simmons! haha (none of the pictures that we took of him were very good that's why i didn't post any) I had no idea who he was! my first thought of him when Dallas pointed at him was that somebody was dressed in a very petite and bright outfit! haha He had dinner on the same floor and at the same time that we did so we saw him dancing on top of the table a couple of times. It was hilarious!
Our first port was Puerto Vallarta. We found an awesome guide that took us all around the city. First we went to the jungle part to see and feed the monkeys. They were so cute and smart! haha Dallas afforded to hold a snake that I was completely scared with.


After that we went to the beach and we finished our day by eating some delicious carne asada tacos =) The second port was Mazatlan. We also took a tour of the city. We stopped to watch the cliff divers and did some shopping. After that we went to a hotel that was next to the beach, the guys went body boarding and the girls hung out by the pool.


Our last port was Cabo, my favorite out of the three! In Cabo, Dallas and I took a boat ride by the famous arches and got dropped off at Lovers Beach to do some snorkeling. It was really fun! We saw lots of tuna and some other cool fish.

And we could not miss a picture of one of our formal nights! Cruises are so much fun! It was a really fun week and it was nice to get away from school, clinic and work! =) It was really fun to visit my native country. It was nice to talk in spanish again haha don't get to talk in spanish very often any more. Can't wait til our next cruie!

California

Before our cruise we decided to go to California for two days. It was a really good way to start our vacation. It was really fun and it was nice to spend the whole time together. The first day we went shopping and at night we went to Newport Beach and ate at this very cool restaurant called Newport Landing that was facing the bay. It was so pretty! I forgot the camera that night so we didn't take pictures =( It happened to be the same restaurant that Dallas went to with Adam, Cam and Ryan when they went on their cruise after their missions. Since the first time he went he hasn't stop talking about their calamari so he was really happy went we got there and he recognized that it was the same place. The second day we went to Long Beach. We walked around the beach and the water was so cold! At night we walked around the harbor and took a bunch of pictures. Oh and we managed to go to In N Out burger twice in the two days we were there. We LOVE that place!



Here we are at Long Beach.

This is at the harbor near downtown Long Beach. You could see Queen Mary from here.

Dallas' birthday!

So Dallas' birthday was Monday the 19th. We didn't plan anything until that Monday morning. We asked everybody to join us at Spring Creek Barbeque. Even though we didn't invite everybody to come til that morning they still came and it was really fun! Dallas was trying to get as much free food as he could haha he got free fries and extra ribs just because it was his birthday haha! He makes me laugh sometimes but I adore him! He is the best =). Love ya honey!

My 22nd birthday!

My birthday was almost a month ago! I'm horrible at blogging! sorry.. i'll work on that. My birthday was April 16th. My cute and awesome friends took me to lunch to chili's. Jen was in town from Oregon so she got to go with Carly! It was really fun. It is always fun to go out with friends! Dallas surprised me with flowers, a coupon for a shopping spree, delicious cheescake and New Moon. Ok.. so a lot of people already know.. but I am sooo adicted to the Twilight series and it's all my sister-in-law's fault! she got me hooked on them haha I absolutely LOVE these books! I read all three of them in less than 3 weeks.. and that was because Dallas was always telling me that I was neglecting him..haha if not.. I would've stay glued to the book!

Ok so the saturday after, a bunch of us went to celebrate my birthday at BJ's and afterwards we headed for some rockband at the Phillip's house. I had so much fun and it was kind of sad to realize that this was my last birthday in Texas! Tori and I have birthdays 5 days apart so we had it all figured out on how to celebrate our birthdays for a whole week and get as many free desserts as we could, too bad that this was the last time we'll be in Texas for my birthday.

It was so nice to see Jen while she was in town. We all kept saying that it felt like if she hadn't moved yet. Me and Dallas are so grateful for the awesome friends that we have in Texas that when December comes, it's going to be hard to leave our big Texas family behind. I can see why it is so hard for the ones that already left. We miss you all! =)
