so..it's kind of official..

we're moving to south carolina. for the last six months i've been trying to make myself believe it was only a possibility. not because i don't love my in laws, but because the west coast is all i know! friends, family, memories growing up (i still don't feel like an adult). making this big move sort of brings up memories from moving CA to UT. it's slightly traumatizing.

the reason for this move it because ryan graduates on july 22nd! and then we are out of here! FINALLY! he's got a couple job opportunities presenting themselves our there so we decided in this economy we'll take what we can get!

now, actually displaying this online and making it official is kinda scary and making me emotional because i don't like change. and now that ryan is graduating and we're heading out into the real world..we're no longer playing house. it's the big stuff from here on out! But, i'm gonna make the best of it because that's all i can do. i know ryan and i will make lots of good memories on the east coast too. don't get me wrong there is a part of me that's excited about what's in store for us..i'm just nervous for the unknown. SO hello palmetto state! thank you for not having winters like REXBURG!

this was painted by ryan's best friend's sister..

logan getaway

for any of you who have ever worked in the food industry you probably would agree that it's not the greatest. probably my least favorite occupation. but you do what you gotta do for moo-la in rexburg. so for the last week work has sucked with a capital S. i won't go into detail and bore any of you..it's just been complete H E double hockey sticks. so after i got off work on saturday i told ryan i needed out of rexburg! away from anything that would remind me of work. the first thing that came to mind was to head to logan to spend some much needed time with anna banana. so at 6:30pm ryan and i got in our car and took the 2 hour drive to see her and her hubs. we didn't have to time do a ton of things, but for the time we had we had a run to sonic for some strawberry limeades(delish),relaxed by a lake up in the canyon and just got caught up on life.

it was only a short visit, but just enough to make the little drive completely worth it!

quality time

the weekend of father's day ryan and i headed to utah to spend it with my fam. after 6 months, ryan finally got his chick-fil-a fix and we both got our panda fix. haha..we're truly pathetic. what can we say..we love food. that friday night the guys decided to go see year one because it looked HILARIOUS in the trailer. but apparently..it's not recommended? and us girls just had a little girl time. us girls included(me, my mother, holly, heidi, alix, jane and ravvy(savannah)). saturday was spent looking at holly and jeremy's new house being built, shopping, and watching "new in town"-love that movie. the weekend was a nice getaway, but after the weekend was over i hadn't really had my friend/family fix, so i "spontaneously" convinced alix and my niece burgandy to come spend a few more days with us up in rexburg. ryan had quite a bit a homework so he wasn't forced into joining in on any girly activities. we watched a few chick flicks, had a bit of girl chat/gossip, ate snowies(tigers blood and cream-a definite fav), walked around porter park and decided riding the carousel there was a must. the carousel it kinda randomly placed and i didn't even know it existed up until a few months ago, otherwise, i'm sure as roommates we would have gone on it often. it was really awesome having them for a few more days. thanks for coming and keeping me company guys! i sure love you BOTH!

weekend in jackson

my parents invited ryan and i to spend some time with them in jackson hole, wy this past weekend. they had made a fun little trip up there with my aunt charlene and uncle russ. so on saturday afternoon we drove up and met up for some lunch at the cadillac grill. we had some delicious burgers and then headed over to the teton national park. the mountains were so gorgeous. animals roamed free and a moose walked within like 20 feet of us..pretty sweet. we then went back to their condo, watched a couple movies and played some games. it was just really nice to get away for a day. thanks for letting us join in:)

june and there was still snow in the mountains

finally official

the official trailer for time traveler's wife came out today. this makes me incredably excited because this means it will be coming out august 14, 2009 after all! is it pathetic that i live for movies? for those who haven't read the book yet, i'm not going to post it here. but if you have read it or don't plan on reading it..you can watch the trailer here...i cried. but i think im in the crying mood today because i just cried in UP as well...

UP

it's heartwarming..go see it.

but don't expect hilarious..like ryan did.

curiosity

so one of my friends did this on her blog and it got me curious. on our sitemeter it shows people from florida, connecticut, virginia, new york, colorado, arkansas, texas, etc...takin a peek at our blog and i'm just curious who you all might be. so leave us a comment. we all blog stalk..i ain't judgin if you don't know us all that well:) it also might put me at ease knowing who you are. i really don't want to go private..it's just such a pain for all parties involved.

the time traveler's wife

If there is any other movie that i'm almost as excited for as new moon if not just as much..it's the time travelers wife.(shocker that there could possibly be such a thing, but it's TRUE) i read the book several months ago and fell in love with it. it was such a beautiful story(not meaning to sound corny, but it was!) my biggest frustration with it was the language though..it kinda tainted a really amazing story. but in movie form i know it will be that much better because they won't be able to use the language as frequently.

One of the biggest reasons why i'm so excited to see it is rachel mcadams plays the main character alongside eric bana(he completely turned me off in the other boleyn girl, but maybe in this movie he will be able to redeem himself!) i've loved rachel mcadams since the notebook, seeings how it is one of my all time favorite movies. the movie supposedly comes out in august, but i have yet to see a trailer and the release date has moved SO much. it was initially supposed to come out last year..so let's hope august 14 sticks!
