Our (Tuesday) Memorial Day

Since Brad and I both had to work on Memorial Day (which we didn't mind because it was raining all day) we decided to have a Picnic on Tuesday and spend the day together! A few days earlier I had bought 2 ginormical (Brad's wording) steaks! So we took the grill and our cute new cooler (that decided to attack my hand!) to the park. This is Brad grilling our steaks! It was pretty funny because they filled the whole grill and overflowed our plates! Since these were the size of my HEAD it took awhile for them to cook so we went online and got the phases 11-20 for the game Phase10. They were really hard but way fun! This is me!! I cut up a watermelon and made some pasta salad!(see my spiderman band-aid....that's from our cute mean cooler.)


To add to our day we decided to go to Idaho Falls! We went to Pier 1 but didn't find anything because they were out of the frames we wanted and they really just don't have anything I like...or can afford! ha Then we moved on to Lowes to get the part for our closet so I could finally hang my shirts and we can find a place for the rest of our clothes..(yes, we're not all the way unpacked.... I don't want to talk about it!) Then we ended up at Best Buy to get a movie..but ended up with the 1st Season of Scrubs...24 episodes, we are very excited! We got home and I went tanning...because I'm pale and when I got out Sam (Bryant) asked Brad to play on her softball team! Brad was really excited because he's been wanting to play but could never find the time with school and work and... ME! So we got ready and went up to the field. The first inning was great Sam made an awesome catch, Brad was playing short stop and got to make a play! Second Inning wasn't as great. Brad got up to bat and swung at a bad pitch and spun around but his right leg didn't. He fell to the ground in pain. From the stands I couldn't tell if he was just hurt for a second or if it was serious, but when he wasn't getting up we all knew something was wrong. I go down to the field and the ambulance was on it's way. Brad had DISLOCATED HIS KNEE!!!! Before he was in the ambulance car he had an IV and a splint!

This is Brad in the back of the Ambulance. I was riding in the front playing with all the bells and whistles...just kidding!
This is Brad finally smiling after all the screaming, drugging, and putting the knee cap back in place!!
And the finished project...this is what I get to live with for the next 6 weeks or less (hopefully)!!! Brad has a knee enforcer (technically called an "immobilizer") and crutches now!

So this was our exciting Tuesday Memorial Day!! Our first real family crisis and adventure! I can't wait for next year!!

The HoneyMoon

Us at the Life as a Bug show
San Fransico
Me kissing the Frog!!
Brad in Hollywood.. Not really
Brad and I got married on February 9th and had a whole week of honeymooning together. Brad planned it out beautifully. We stayed in Anaheim at the Lemon-Tree Inn from Saturday-Thursday. On Sunday we went to mom and dad's to open our gifts from people and that night we just hung out and enjoyed the life of being married! Monday we went to Grandpa Snowballs funeral which I was so glad we were able to go since Brad had never had the chance to meet him. Tuesday we went down to Balboa Island and walked around the Island. We were both craving sea food but everything down there was closed so we found a Red Lobster! Wednesday we got signed in at Disneyland with Hopper passes!! It was such a blast, and since it was the off season there was no body there! We did California Adventures in 2 hours!! Thursday we left for San Fransico, we got there pretty late at night. It was Valentine's day AND Brad's birthday but we were so tired from the drive so we went and got us a pizza and watched movies and opened presents! Friday we went down to the Warf, took some pictures at at the Hard Rock Cafe since I've never been to one, and enjoyed the people down there! We left for home and drove and drove and drove until I couldn't take it anymore and we stayed in a city I can never remember the name, we stayed in a really nice Best Western...(there can sure suprise you ((remember the suit in utah!?!) and headed home the next day. We enjoyed every second we spent together and weren't ready to get back to real life. Here are some pictures from our trip!

Joining the Cool Club!!

I've decided that I needed to create a BLOG!! Hurray! Everyone's told me we needed to get one so here it is. Currently I don't have much to update except since Brad and I just got a new EBOX360 that is how we spend a lot of our quality time. (or what Brad does when I'm not paying attention to him, like I'm doing at this moment :)
Anyways, so I might have some questions about this new blogging things, so be expecting them!!
