San Diego

Julius and I just got back from our cruise to the Mexican Riveria. It was a blast we had soo much fun being together, we basically treated it like our honeymoon since we never really had one (unless you count the 17 hour drive to Arizona). But here our some of the pictures from our vaca. Hope you enjoy!

Arizona, Halloween and 21

I haven't blogged in awhile so I thought I would just make a really BIG blog that has everything soooo here it is. Julius and I have been back in Arizona for a little over a month now and totally loving it. The weather is ah-mazing. We especially love being able to play tennis and sand volleyball with friends in shorts and t-shirts. But life's been kinda hectic for both of us. I started school at Arizona School of Massage Therapy and I am absolutely loving it. The body is amazing and I'm enjoying learning and being back in school Julius has been keeping himself busy working with Internet Marketing and his new hobby mountain bike riding. We're loving being back and excited for what's to come.

Here are our pumpkins we carved with friends...(adria on left julius on right)

Family Fun

This last week Julius' parents little brother (Ben) and sister (Rachel) came to Salt Lake to have some fun before Ben entered the MTC. I'm not going to lie I was a little bit stressed b/c we are in the middle of moving back to Arizona and I had to get our house packed up as well as the office. To my surprise the stress disappeared and we had such a blast hanging with everyone. From playing Wii, longboarding and just having a good time with one another. I was amazed at how fast time this week went by.

Ben entered the MTC Wednesday afternoon-ish. We were able to walk around the MTC while we waited for Ben to be set apart, and the spirit that is there is incredible. It was so fun to see where Julius, His dad, Robbie, and my dad had all spent time preparing learning languages and getting ready to serve as a servant of Jesus Christ. As we waited through the meet/greet from the MTC presidency I was overcome with emotion/excitement for Ben. I know he is going to make an outstanding Missionary. One thing that the President of the MTC said that struck me was the Band aid Theory. It went something like this, "As the time grows near to the final goodbye I would like to propose the Band aid Theory...The quicker it is the less painful it will be for you and your Missionary". That is true to so many things in life...The quicker we are to act on the promptings of the Holy Ghost the quicker we will receive the blessings the come from obedience, the quicker we are to forgive the happier we will be... The quicker we do things the more joy we will feel instead of the painful slow struggle of pulling off our "band aid" and procrastinating what needs to be done.

I love my family I love my in laws. I am truly grateful for them and the time we spent this last week... and I LOVE the TEMPLE

Our 1 year Anniversary

Julius and I went up to Park City for our anniversary, and had such a blast on the ski lift, zip line, and of course shopping!!! It's so crazy to think it's been a year... Lately I've been thinking about it and I really have NO idea where the time has gone. All I do know that it's been the best year of my life so many new learning experiences for me and memories I'll never forget. I'm so blessed to have him, he really is the best and I couldn't imagine my life any other way! i love you Julius
