I have not blogged in a while and mostly I blame it on the fact that I don't have internet at home, but since I do now...kinda. I am going to write a post. Mostly this post is going to be pictures and they will help show what we have been up to. So we went to Portland to visit Steve and Michelle, and Steve's family. I have never
been to Portland and it was sunny for me the whole time, I think it rained once for about 5 min. I'm sure Tim prayed very hard for the weather to be nice. He wants me to love Portland like he does. We went to the beach and it was really really windy but
it was really pretty. I was kinda shocked, I know that sounds mean but i'm spoiled with California beaches. When we were at the beach we went into and arcade and there I found my favorite game!!! Police Trainer!!! I used to play this game with Lisa when
we would play mini golf at the mine shaft. When I was in high school I was a life guard and they would give us $5 of fun money in each pay check and they had this game so I would always play it!! One time I was playing the game and the screen froze, I reported it and the next day it was GONE! Basically I broke it and I was so sad! This is a pretty old game so I never thought I would find the original version, they did have a newer version also. While we were there we found a new game also, it is called Deal or No Deal, yep just like the game show. It is a lot of fun! You get to pick the
brief cases and you can win TONS of tickets. I really enjoyed going to Portland, It was a lot of fun and it was really nice being able to hang out with married friends, even though it will be weird when they have a baby!! Basically I'm just jealous. We were also able to spend a lot of time at the Gibson's house (Steve's parents). I never really realized how close Tim is to their family.
A couple weekends later America and Amber came to visit. We had so much fun!! We rented a hotel room in LA and I showed them my favorite shopping place, the Alley. The only thing we didn't get to do is get Milkshakes...I'm so obsessed with this milkshake shop in LA, it's amazing...mmm. We had a bon fire and had a lot of fun hanging out before Amber left on her mission.
A couple weekends after that we went to San Diego to visit Tim's Aunt. She took us on a tour of the USS Midway. It was so HUGE, I'm claustrophobic and during some spots I kinda got nervous but it
wasn't too bad, as long as I could keep walking. I could never live on a ship like that! Later the night we met up with her son, Adam, and ate dinner. When we went back to her house Tim and Adam made our dinner for the next night. Adam is a chef and I think Tim had a lot of fun helping him in the Kitchen. Little known fact: Tim is a better cook than me, well when he follows the directions. Also...I really wanted to take a picture on this chair in the ship but when I took a picture it was not as cute as Tim's picture. Ugh! Tim loves taking goofy pictures, he becomes someone totally different
when he is behind a camera, anyone who has watched his videos with Steve and Jon knows this!!
I think the next weekend was when my sisters, Jasmine and Jocelyn came. It was Jasmine's birthday and Jocelyn was going off to Rexburg so they came to have fun before she was off to The Burg. We went to Disneyland which was so much fun!! Jasmine hurt her foot a day earlier so we got a wheelchair. Having a wheelchair at Disneyland is absolutely amazing!! You get to the front of the line so fast. The wait for space mountain is a 60-90 min wait and we waited 15 min!! We were able to do everything at both parks in one day! Wheelchairs are amazing.
We also went to The Alley and we decided that everyone hated us and tried to rip us off because we are white, basically they thought Jasmine was loaded so they wouldn't barter with her...it was really annoying. That weekend I FINALLY got another of my FAVORITE milkshakes!!! I know, I know, I talk about them way too much but if you had one you would too. When we were in LA we decided to wait in line for a Pink's hot dog. Basically, they are famous and they have some crazy creations, I think Jocelyn's had onion rings on it. Right next to the hot dog place was a vintage store and I got some really really cute 7 jeans for super cheap I think they were $25, they were exactly what I had been looking for in other stores!
Well I have more pictures but this blog is ridiculously long and I need a break so I will post Part 2 soon. Soon meaning a couple of days not a month, promise! Why do I love the exclamation marks?? I don't know why...
and she told me that my older sister Jessica was in Utah also, I had NO IDEA!! It would have been awful if i didn't find out till weeks later that she was in Utah at the same time as me. We also found out that we were like 5 min away from each other, so weird. So we met up and went to the Mount Timpanogos temple, it was windy so that isn't the best picture ever. We also had time to meet up with Chad, who recently moved to Utah. Also we saw Amy, America, and Tyler. We had a Arrested Development Marathon 
and played some Wii. 
seems like there is no end in sight. You might think that is a good thing but lately we have been driving to the Oakland area every weekend and it is not fun at all. We are doing this for Pinnacle and summer installs, Tim is a tech for them, so for the next couple weeks we have two apartmenst, its weird. There are two perks of course. First Tim is making great money and Second we get to move in stages, I really like this because I don't have to do it all in a week instead I get to do it over a month.
