Belated But Beautiful

So this is in honor of Lisi's birthday...I won't tell you how old she turned...that's a secrect between her and me! I didn't post anything on August 30st, the big day, but better late than never? right! (notice I didn't say, right? haha...I already know the answer! hehe)

We all went to dinner to celebrate...Lisi, Artisto, Snowb, Picho, and I...Dexter and Duran were unable to make it. We went to Carraba's and had the best Italian food ever...although it only took 5 times to ask the waiter to bring the vinegar to eat with our delicious bread...funny stuff!

I think Picho had a little too many lemons...

P.S. Beautiful refers to the three of us


Afterwards we had a semi-surprise party for Lisi in her new condo. Snowb and I broke out the sparklers and Lisi blew out the many candles (haha, j/k) on her cake. It's said that there was a giant piñata full of chuches, but Snowb and I left before the big unveiling ceremony.


¡Feliz Cumpleaños Lisi!

Say What?!

Lisi and I were driving home from church (this was a while ago) when we saw this sign at a gas station. I did a double take! Did it really say what I thought it said?! I mean, how could the place not know what it said? It had to have been on purpose...

Out of shape??

YES!! This is probably the worst I've ever been out of shape. Being in Europe for 9 months with no gym didn't help much. When I got back to AZ, I was going to the gym and in pretty good shape, but that was only a couple weeks. Being here in UT teaching, I've been sooooo busy and just haven't found the time to exercise regularly. Although, my recent exercise has been longboarding everyday. I went on a hike with my roommate the other day....needless to say I was huffing and puffing very shortly. Haha! That didn't last too long though.

So....last night I went to the gym and JOINED!! Yea! So hopefully I will be going everyday or close to that anyway. My ward also plays basketball and sometimes volleyball so that will be a good variety anyway. So now I'm back in action!

Rafting!

So some of you know how much I love my raft. I'll take it anywhere there's water....lakes, rivers, ponds, canals, and yes...even my swimming pool! I hadn't taken it out all summer so I got the crazy idea to raft in my pool. Great laughs! Allison and I each had a turn rowing. It was kind of cold but SOOOO worth it! I think some neighbors thought we were a little crazy...hehe

Longboarding Adventure

Happy Labor Day! So I thought today was going to be a wasted day with all the rain in the morning. It cleared up later, though, so Allison and I hit the boards. We went longboarding on the Provo River Trail for a good couple hours. We had so much fun that we went back out after FHE with a fellow longboarder in the ward. He was pretty much a pro so we got a few good pointers. There were no major crashes so it was a successful adventure. It was fun longboarding across State Street with everyone staring at you!
