Christmas in Mexico

I know it was 4 months ago but I had to blog about it cause it was really fun. We went to Mexico for Christmas and it was really nice to see my  family which I hadn't seen in 3 years. It was nice to see my mom too. We had so much fun and we ate some yummy food which I was really happy about.

Dallas' graduation

My hubby is finally a Doctor..! His graduation was December 13 and we are really excited that he was finally done with Chiropractic School. He worked really hard, I am so proud of him! His uncle Rand was able to give him his diploma since he is also a Chiropractor. We had a very good experience in Texas. We already miss our friends! They became like our family. They were our strength and support through the hard times. We are very blessed that they celebrated Dallas' graduation with us, it meant a lot to us.

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:

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
