Happy Birthday To Me!

On Saturday(the 4th) I turned 26 and celebrated the whole weekend with friends & family. It was a fun weekend. First, on Friday a bunch of friends went out to dinner & then we danced the night away. Then on Saturday Doug & I went out to dinner with my parents, my sister, Cody & the boys and Dougs parents. It is always fun to get the family together :-) Then later that night we had a Luau party to go to. Finally on Sunday Doug went shopping with me and then we went with Ang, Cody & Travis to the Simpsons movie. It was a very busy weekend, but a lot of fun!

Great Green Tennessee

Vacation No. 2

Doug and I went with his family to Tennessee for his cousins wedding. It was so great to see his family again. They welcomed us into their home and were thrilled to have us there. We were able to do a little exploring, so you will see some drive by photos. There are 2 huge aquariums that we were lucky enough to go to. I took some pretty cool photos while playing around with my new camera. I love going to Tennessee because its so different from the Arizona desert. Its amazing to see green trees, grass and vines everywhere you look.

California Sun

Vacation No. 1
Every year a group of us go on a trip to Oceanside, CA. This was our 5th year going to visit our good friend Mikey. The fabulous five consists of me, Doug, Travis, Missy and Katie. We have been friends for years and look forward to taking our annual trip. This year we were excited to have my sister Angela, her husband Cody, and their two adorable sons, Jacob & Aidan join us. It was fabulous to have them along with us! It was such a great time to relax and take in some sun.
