stringrays

ryan's parents got us some hockey ticket for last friday night. i'm not a big sports fan but this brought on good fun. the charleston stingrays is a minor league team? i think? we went with kim and lindsay and tom and ryan's BFF tom. it was a night of hilarious sloshed people dancing(video below) and aggressive fights. the stingrays won 8-5 which was awesome, but the people watching is really what made the night so much fun. i don't remember the last time i laughed so hard.

HaPPpY BiRthDAy Ry Ry

it was ryan's BiRThDay on the 14th..yay 27! sadly i had to work all day(did i mention i'm nannying now? i'm a nanny). so ryan ate chic-fil-a(of course) for lunch and we went to wild wings for dinner(ryan loves his hot wings). he ordered 25, but let me down by only eating 13..
we celebrated with his family that saturday by going to a really cool place called yokoso and then indulged in funfetti cake(another ryan favorite).

love you babe

hey baby let's go to vegas!

during my adventures in utah, holly and jeremy went to vegas and i decided to join! we road tripped it with las vegas tunes, delectable snacks, and high school musical..haha. good times.

we induldged in a place called yogurt land(so good), stayed at the trump hotel, enjoyed some H&M, walked the strip, walked the mall at caesars palace, ate some IN-N-OUT, and relaxed.

i will never drive down the strip again without some sort of vegas-oriented song. some songs we listened to were, (but not limited to): "viva las vegas", "pokerface", "waking up in vegas" and "let's go to vegas". it completely heightened the experience.

merry holidays

here's a few pictures from the holidays: thanksgiving and christmas

i was sick all through thanksgiving which sucked because i couldn't really enjoy the delicious food. but it was really nice to be able to be surrounded by family.

ryan finally showed his face for christmas and it was christmas miracle that he made it. his luggage was lost..he missed a flight because of delayed flights.(if there's one thing you know about our traveling it's that it never goes smoothly..one day i will blog about all our adventures. today is not that day.)

traditional christmas PJ's! let the tradition carry on for years to come..

utah happenings

so..it's been a while. this i know. BUT here i am to update the world on our recent happenings.

sometime in october when i was wallowing in self pity over the move, i purchased a plane ticket to see my family for a month and a half. november seventeenth came around and i ventured--without husband--to utah. i then proceeded to participate in activities such as:

..new moon premiere (which i've now seen three times and have come to the conclusion it won't be like twilight where i just keep going back to see it. it's TOO long and TOO emotional. but i did indeed enjoy it the three times i did see it..haha)..

..spent time with christopher's family..

..thanksgiving dinner with my family..

..VEGAS with holly and jeremy's family..

..panda at least five times, rubio's once and indulged in IN-N-OUT(i found a new love for this place--i now understand the hype after eating a burger "animal style")..

..spent much needed time with my dearest alix..

..finally got to see miss sarah beth and her hubs after SIX months(way too long)..

..shopped a little..

..read a few books (wuthering heights, the host--again, the rescuer)..

..wrote a little(got 25,000 of the 50,00 words i wanted done because my computer broke. that was a good day)..

..had lots of sisterly and motherly bonding time..

..and missed ryan way to much to ever spend more than a couple days away from him ever again..

i will post pictures for each event in a different post with a little more detail if i can remember.
