yes, another trip

so this last weekend shelly and i went to las vegas again. lots of fun times and memories, and yes, it was blasted hot! I kind of asked for the heat...it had rained here for a week straight before we left so i was ready for some sun! I came back with a great tan and a total lack of sleep. shelly lost her camera, and the majority of pictures were on there. i have a few on my camera that i will upload later. we saw mystere, the cirque de soleil show. AMAZING! one of the coolest shows i have ever seen! other events included pool time, nice dinners at mon ami gabi and the eiffel tower restaurant, dancing, wandering around the strip, more pool time, m & m world (i love the green one), more pool time, the lions at MGM, and of course, a trip to In n Out. The pool took up most of our time, no complaints here. We stayed at Planet Hollywood...it was nice, but we missed our suite from the last trip. next up, i'm heading to St. Louis to visit Jam and Robert.

a horrible addiction

ever since california, i have been craving these...

if you don't know me that well, then you don't know that i have an obsession with sprinkles (i'm' pretty sure i've had one since i was born) sprinkled doughnuts (sorry mom..[she's a dietician]) how i love you.

my new life

with my new found free time, i have become a cleaning and re-organizing machine. oh no.

one thing checked off on the bucket list

last week shel and i went to san diego for marissa's wedding and to see rk since he gets out of the marines in t-minus 3 days from today. can i please move to san diego? we left on thursday and came back today...i almost had to be dragged on the plane as i was praying we would miss it. anyway, it was quite an eventful trip. we went to del mar beach, multiple in-n-out trips, dancing, knott's berry farm, driving around in "the golden egg" in downtown san diego, a quick trip to LA, a visit to malibu to lay out on zuma beach, and coronado. although this was all a blast, there was one thing that we did that is my new found love. i jumped out of a plane at 13000 feet. yes, i went skydiving. i have always wanted to, but never have been able to. rk and i have been talking about it since the beginning of april, and so yes, i jumped out a perfectly good plane (yes, tandem, but that is a small detail right?)

so skydiving is the biggest rush. the guys at the place we jumped told us never to come back because it is like heroin. well i don't know what heroin is like, but i am now addicted to skydiving, or at least i wish i could be (financially it probably is not the best addiction). i didn't buy the video, but there are before and after pictures. please, if you have the chance....GO! you will not regret it.

anyway, here are a few pictures. i'm sure i'll post some more stories/pictures after i recover from being sleep-deprived. oh..another fabulous thing...THERE IS PANERA IN CALIFORNIA!

Just getting to the beach in del mar...

oh how i love kansas.

look what i just found

aren't these precious...

mark your calendar- may 6th is nurses day.

tribute.

so this post is a little over due. last week paige face moved out of the lovely 215. it was a tragedy. good thing she still works in provo so she will be down here to keep me entertained in my new found freedom of no school. also, she is living at her sisters which opens up a hot tub (if the key can ever be found) as well as an escape from provo. i think many vacations to draper may be in order. here is a recent picture before she ran away from home.

life isn't the same without perusing the one spot and watching movies with unconditional chocolate.
