California

Brady and I took a road trip last month to California. It was a perfect trip! Very easy going, fun, and relaxing. Brady is a great person to travel with, he is happy with anything. The two of us together made a pretty good team.

Brady took a nap, and I went exploring CA, actually I went shopping.

Brady and I discovered the tetherball in the backyard, and played a MEAN game, or 20 of tetherball. We played for about an hour and a half, had bruised hands and knuckles, and were sore for the rest of the trip.
That night Brittany, Brady and I went running in the park. So fun! Reminisced about missions.
Day 4. Newport beach with Joy, Brittany, and Jenny! Fun in the sun!
Dinner once again with uncle Steve at our favorite taco shop.
Day 5. Church and relaxation.
Day 6. San Diego...
Mormon Battalion
Shopping
Strawberry tortillas
Mission Beach
Grandma and Granpa Prices. Enjoyed more time with more cousins that we haven't seen in a long time. So fun to see everyone.
Day 7. First stop, San Diego temple. Brady did baptisms and I went to a session. What a beautiful and peaceful place. It was a blessing to be there.
Drive to St. George
Spent the night at Grandma Andreason's.
Visited with cousin Lyndi...so much fun.
Day 8. Started the morning with a session at the St. George temple.
Drove home.

Brady and I had a great time. Listened to fun music and had good talks. Love spending this time with him.
Thanks Brady, I love you!

Zumba!

I went to my first Zumba class a couple weeks ago and now I am officially hooked. I had never really thought about going. I love to run, bike, go to the gym, whatever. I was always a little intimidated by Zumba because I can't dance. Steve and I were talking one night and he mentioned it. The next day at the gym I looked at the class schedule and there was a class starting in 5 min, so I decided it was the best time. I love it! The teacher was amazing, very energetic. It was so FUN! I don't think I have missed a class that I have been available for. Bottom line, I am hooked on Zumba!
