Black Cat

I just realized I have not updated my blog sense our cruise! I come on here and read everyones cute blogs and forget to update my own!
A couple of nights ago we had a nice visiter.... a black cat! He/She has been wondering around for awhile now. It is so pretty and is so sweet.. BUT I CAN"T KEEP IT! He/She has been staying in our garage and leaves during the day then comes back at night. Its so cold here and can't imagine leaving it outside. This is where my tender heart and love comes with animals. I am on a mission to find the owner or find A owner for this little cat, but that will not be me. He/she has already hit Cooper a few times and thats where I draw the line :).If any of you have seen big bang theory you will understand this song..... Austin and I think of this song everytime we see this little cat...

Beautiful Bahamas

Sad to say but we just got back from our trip with my family from the Bahamas. I must say I would buy a summer home there in a heartbeat. I have never seen such beautiful blue water in my life. I have been to Cancun and seen beautiful water but nothing like what I saw last week. Pictures don't do it justice! Our first day we headed to Key West, which is still in Florida but was still so pretty. The water was blue and the weather was hot and humid (just what I like).



Next stop was Nassau, Bahamas. This was such a fun Island, not what I expected at all but still so fun. Lots of history there of pirates and so of course Austin was in heaven. Property value there is SOOOOO high. To give you an example, our house we have would be classified as poverty. I guess people there make a lot of money and your classified as poverty if you make less than 100,000 a year. They don't have a high crime rate there either because they don't put up with crap basically. If you rape or touch a little kid in any way they hang you. They are not afraid to hang anyone if you do something the Bahamian government doesn't like. If you steal you get kicked off the Island. They basically take EVERYTHING very seriously. On the Island is where the hotel Atlantis is as well, this hotel was amazing! There is a room there that is 25,000 a night and the min stay is 4 nights. Everything is also made out of gold. CRAZY!! This hotel was crazy but beautiful.

Here is a picture of Hotel Atlantis, the middle part of the picture is the room that is 25,000 a night.


This picture is of a place they call "The Queens Staircase". Its where the people of the Bahamas would go when they were being attacked. They would go down this staircase to a door that would take them under ground to the other side of the Island... Keep in mind the Island is only 7 miles long total. :) But the slaves actually built this, it was insane how tall it was and it was sooo pretty.



Off to CocoCay, Bahamas. This I must say was my favorite stop. We got to spend a whole day on the beach and enjoy the beautiful weather and wonder water and sand. This is a little Island that Royal Caribbean (our cruise ship owns). It’s a private Island and only guest on the cruise ship are allowed on this Island. There is SOOO much to do too. The best part was wave running, it was so cool to see how blue the water was and just getting to wave run in the Bahamas is amazing. There is so much to see and appreciate for sure! There is an Island for sell to for 9 million.... trying to convince my dad to buy it haha.

Here is a picture of us on the beach


Picture of us Wave Running!


Every night, we got to go to a very formal dinner on the ship. It was so fun to get dressed up and be wined and dined for sure! Best part of a cruise is the food, you can't get enough. Also the pina coladas, they are my favorite!

Formal Dinner night


We also got the chance to go to Chicago for one day to see my sister graduate High school. It was so weird to see her graduate, she is too little to graduate! :) She actually heads out to start summer semester at BYU next week, now that is weird but I am very glad she will be out here. Which means she gets to spend more time with us and have Austin annoy her more then he already does, looks like she won’t be able to get away from my dad because Austin annoys her just as much as my dad. haha

Kelsi Graduating


There is just a little glimpse of our wonderful cruise we had with my family! I am so greatful for my family and how much fun we have with them. They are awesome and I wish they lived closer so we could have more memories with them. Thanks again mom and dad for the wonderful trip! We love you lots and I am so proud of my little sis who isn't so little anymore for graduating High School and going to BYU.

Cruise Time!

We will be leaving on Friday for Chicago to see my sister graduate from High School, which is super super weird that she is old enough to start college! Then on Sunday we will be heading to Miami to catch our cruise to the Bahamas! We seriously are in need of a vacation. I think this is the longest we have gone without going somewhere... I know I know "poor us!" :). But we get to go with my family and they are so fun to be with so I am sure we will have lots of stories.






Goodbye Utah snowy weather to beautiful warm Bahama weather this weekend! Maybe that means my allergies will clear up too. haha

R.I.P. Dallas MAVS

Well with the series being 3-1, Spurs ahead, I feel the need to express my deep depression of my teams lack of ability to beat them. Yes I know we still have a chance but the chance of us catching up is 4%, 4%!!!! Thats not enough hope, although I must say I still have hope that we can pull out the next 2 games to tie it up, and as for the 3rd game.... well I will leave that up to the MAVS.

Jason Kidd has done a great job and my hat goes off to you for being 37 and showing all these younger guys that even at an old age you can still be on top.

Jason Terry you are my hero on the 3 point shots! BUT man oh man when you are off you are off. But I do have to say I am a big fan of you and think you bring alot to the team!

I can't forget to talk about my new favorite player on the Mavs. BUTLER!! I have been impressed with him this year and hope he stays with us because he has been an awesome defensive player!

Last but not least Dirk! You are awesome, I love your over dramatic fouls and the one finger hair swipe! LOVE YOU :)

Although I have R.I.P Dallas Mavs, I will still have hope that you will pull through!!!

HAPPY 2 ANNIVERSARY TO US

2 years ago from today I remember waking up in the morning, getting in the shower and thinking "I cannot believe this day is finally here!". I put my make-up on, with the help of my good friend Mallory and then off we went to get my hair done. For some reason I kept thinking in my head " he better show up!" :) Needless to say I was the one that was late but I did show up and he was there waiting for me. We have been through so many good times the past 2 years and I don't see why people say they are hard when you get married. I have never been so happy in my entire life as I am today. I am just as happy now, if not more, then I was the day we got married. I love that my family adores him and he adores them just the same. He is my best friend, I can’t imagine doing anything without him. As pathetic as it is, our lives are not as fun when each other is not around. I can’t imagine going on a trip without him, the most time we have spent away from each other was 5 days and we both said we will never do that again! J My parents are the best examples to me and if Austin and I can have a marriage like my parents then I would say we will have the best marriage. I often explain to people that they act like they just got married and have been married for 26 years. I see my dad a lot in Austin, in the sense that my dad would do ANYTHING for my mom and I have never questioned my dad’s love for my mom and I hope our kids will never questioned our love for eachother. My mom would always tell me “when you look for your future husband if you look at them and think my dad would never treat my mom like that, then you know he is not the one for you”. I have found the perfect man for me!!

He puts up with my crazy OCD habits, the fact that I don't like watching anything that has an animal getting hurt, killed, scared etc, my love for Cooper, he goes to musicals with me (haven’t gotten him to a ballet yet, but I’m sure he would go :) ), my complaining when I have a bad day, and making sure to give me a kiss every morning when he leaves for work and when he gets home from work/school.

My family means the world to me and it makes all the difference in the world to know that I married someone that fits perfectly, almost to perfectly in our family. Sometimes I think they love him more than me :)

I have the most wonderful life and the most wonderful husband to share my life with. He will be an amazing Father someday and I will be so blessed to have a husband who will cherish a little life just as much as I will. Who knows what the next year will bring us but I can say right now I am happy to be married to such a wonderful, loving, caring, humble man. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABE I LOVE YOU WITH ALL OF MY HEART!

SPRING COME SOON!!

The weather here in Utah has been very frustrating the past couple of weeks. One day we have 60 degree weather and then the next its snowing and cold. I have decided that spring needs to come NOW! I love the winter but only in December and then after that I have had it. This is one reason I keep trying to convince Austin that we should move to Texas for the winters, although they havn't been getting any better weather then we have.

We are also such a married couple in the winter. We have our TV shows every night and look forward to them ALOT! I can't wait for the spring when we can go outside and do something and we don't have to watch what we eat and work out as much in fear of gaining those horrible winter pounds. They are a pain to get off and we have realized this year that next winter will be different. :) Cooper has even put on the pounds but for him its probably a good thing!

We have so many fun plans this summer and I can't wait to go out and do them. So please weather no more snow, wind, or cold weather. Lets just stick to the beautiful spring time weather!!
