Why I Love DiSnEyLAnD!

Yes! Dustin and I went to Disneyland!!! I absolutly Love Disneyland!! As a child we would go every year and so when I get to go back it brings back so many fun memories. This is why I love Disneyland :)


1. All of the fun picture spots.

2. I love how clean and perfect the landscaping is


3. The fun creative decorations. (you never see the same decorations)

4. Dole whips. Need I say more?

5. Of course Sleeping Beauty's Castle

6. All the fun entertainment. This cafe is so funny a great place to get lunch and to have a good laugh.


7. All of the fun hats that you see all around the park.
(isn't Dustin a good sport?)
8. And Disneyland isn't Disneyland without the Mouse
I could go on and on forever, but that was only day one of our trip so I won't bore you with the Disney stuff.
Day two of the trip we went down to Laguna Beach another favorite.

The weather was kind of overcast so we sat on the beach for a couple of hours and then we walked around to all the little shops.

We ended the trip by going to an Angels game. They won by one, not the most exciting game but it was fun.

It was a quick trip but made for a great long weekend!!!

Why I Love & Adore My Wife

Where do I begin? Maybe by saying that the reasons for my love and adoration for my wife cannot be fully comprehended in textual form. I try my best to show her my love. I need to work on that more I think.

I love that she would do anything for me.
I love that she wants the best for me.
I love that she wants the best for herself
I love that she wants the best for our family.
I love that she is willing to be understanding.
I love that she works so hard for us.
I love that she understands the value of hard work.
I love that she can work to forgive.
I love that she is willing to sacrifice.
I love that she can communicate well.
I love that she is patient with my communication.
I love that her friends are so supportive of her.
I love that she tries so hard in everything she does.
I love that she always tries to be herself.
I love that she loves me.

I adore her for her security.
I adore her for her comfort.
I adore her for her confidence in me.
I adore her for her teamwork in our relationship
I adore her for her positive attitude constantly.
I adore her for the light she shines on others around her.

There are so many things I love and adore Kristin for. Just typing them out doesnt give my feelings for her justice. She can lift me up with a smile from her face. There is no such thing as a complete list of reasons for love. New reasons pop up each day. She's the best.

We have learned a lot from him and feel that his advice and information is very helpful especially in these hard times. You should check him out he is fabulous!

I jUsT AdoRe You...

I just have to brag about the hero in my life... My Husband. Yesterday for Valentines Day, he got up and cooked me breakfast before I had to be to work (so cute!!.) Lately I have been bugging my husband to pull out the extra mattress from our spare bedroom and he just laughs at me and says I'm wierd (true.) Yesterday I came home from work and he had the mattress out in the living room all setup. So we had a very relaxing night at home, just the two of us. Which doesn't happen very often. Not to mention my cute husband cooked dinner, and he gave me a gorgeous necklace. Needless to say it was the best Valentines Day ever!!!
WhY I aDorE My huSbAnD...
* There isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't make me laugh.
* We both work hard and a lot. He is very good at sharing the house duties (cooking, cleaning, laundry) when I get behind and doesn't complain about it.
* He still gets my door for me
* We can laugh together, tease together, cry together (Dustin is such a sensitive guy)
* He respects his priesthood and is such a good Sunday School teacher.
* I love how he tangles his legs up in mine before we fall asleep.
* Every morning before he leaves for work he asks if he can get me anything or do anything for me before he leaves and he ALwaYs aLwayS kisses me goodbye.
* When I work late nights by myself he comes up to the salon and helps me close the salon even though its far and not convenient at all, he still does it.
* Whenever I get mad or annoyed at family members or friends he always gives me a different way to look at things and keeps my thoughts and feelings positive (I don't think Dustin has ever had an enemy in his life!!! Or even been mad at someone!!! I wish I was more like that. Im learning ;)
I could go on and on about the person I adore and thank my Heavenly Father daily for him. I truly am so greatful to have Dustin in my life. I Love you Babe!!!

A Long Weekend


We had such a relaxing weekend!!! And muchly needed weekend!! Dustin and I took off Thursday morning and headed down to St. George where my cousin Heidi and her husband, Joe are staying while he does a rotation for med school. Then we all headed down to Vegas to visit Dez.

We love spending time with Dez. We just wish it was more often :(

One of my favorite things to do is to watch the Fountains in front of the Bellagio (I have seen them a million times but I love it)
We went to the Fiesta Fun Family Fun Center (What a wierd name)
Got to love the bumper boats. Henry loved squirting us!!
(Heidi, Henry, and Dustin)
This is the first time in my life that i have been in batting cages... I did pretty good for my first time.


This kid is such a trooper!!!
The weather was so nice!!! 70 in Vegas and about 65 in St. George and on days like that you have to get a little golf in right????
We had such a great time!!! Thanks Joe and Heidi for the invite!! We look forward to Hawaii in a couple of months (hopefully!!)
