Yeah, Two years! I know, It is so crazy!

As long as an Elder missionary is out in the field,
As long as as Associates Degree takes,
As long as it takes for a baby to start getting their molars/teething,
As long as it takes to be able to upgrade to a new phone,
As long as it takes for a green card to expire,
As long as it takes for the Olympics to show it's face again,
As long as it takes to get another Mammogram appointment,
Approx. 7,998,772 births in the U.S.
Approx. 4,936,870 deaths in the U.S.
A child laughs approx. 219,000 times,
An adult laughs approx. 10,950 times,
Approx. 4,192,000 marriages in the U.S.
33-34 Senators are elected,
A child can say approx. 5 words,

... IN...

Things I have learned in these two WONDERFUL years of being married:

- Instead of dating other people, you "date" other couples, together!
- You always have a support system with everything you do.
- You always have a jar opener! ( In my case I have 5 because I swear he can open every jar with two fingers!).
- When they say, your other half, they aren't kidding because you can be totally, 100% yourself and weird and that other half of yours completely understands it all.
- Life is so much greater.
- You get more benefits from FAFSA.
- I always feel so incredibly safe.
- I now have someone to dance with me in the kitchen!
- Responsibility and cooking is hard sometimes.
- Best workout buddy/personal trainer EVER.
- My relationship with my husband is the most important.
- I don't think I have ever laughed so hard with anyone else ( my sisters are an exception).
- I have learned a TON about myself!
- It is probably my favorite thing when Danny gets excited about something and draws back some of those 'little boy' mannerisms in him.
- Time goes by way too fast when you are having fun.
- Friends come and go but the true ones never leave in the first place.
- Molding two very different lives together is a lot of fun.
- Danny is the only person who knows exactly when I am upset, tired, hungry, or just emotional and knows exactly how to help the situation.
- I never thought I would be able to spend literally 24/7 for over 2 months with anyone..Looks like I was wrong and loved every second of it!
- Danny always loves a little head scratch.

Things I learned in the last 5 minutes:

- That is a long list.. And it is definitely not over..
- I learned a lot in two years of being married!  Now imagine year Three, year FOur, year FIVe!  ETERNITY!

Ahoy, I sail, I'm a sailor, I sail!

Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Fantasy, it gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie, every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?
-Christopher Cross

In my Dad's words, "You can't go to California and NOT sail!"
Agreed.  Well said Dad!
Sailing gives me a new high that is unlike any other.  It is a mix between feeling so grateful that my Dad knows whats up in life and wanting to just stay where the ocean hits my toenails.  Moments on a sail boat bring me back to my childhood when my dad would take us out in our little blue boat and watch my father's eyes light up the minute we step onto that thing.

Tell Me Tell Me


So Danny and I were driving, listening to the same three CDs that we have been listening to since we left Utah.  While nonchalantly singing along, Danny pulled out a newly burnt CD: STYX! One moment led to the next.. yada yada yada.. I found my current life's new theme song!

SOLD OUT

Word's got it, Tim Mcgraw is one of the best concert performers out there.  Well now I can say the same thing everyone else has been and let me tell you, it's definitely true. There is nothing better than a good 'ol country concert on a Friday night in South Cali.

















Quality of videos: none since they are phone recordings..
Tradition to record favorite songs at any concert: DEFINITELY!
Hope it's worth somethin!

SAN DIEGO ZOO

From everything I had heard, the San Diego Zoo was the BEST zoo around!
Any zoo is so much fun! I love the atmosphere, the animals ( of course),the parents trying to keep track of their kids, and the feeling of your feet and legs aching from walking so much.
So we got up this morning and went to the zoo!!

***WARNING*** LOTS OF PICTURES!!
