WORLD CUP!!!!!! Oh, how I love this game!

It's 5:30 am and our alarm clock goes off, and for once we are able to get out of bed easily, which for me, doesn't happen very often. Why would today be any different than any other ordinary day? Well, the WORLD CUP could be the reason!!! I love events like this that bring the whole world together to unite and as you watch you want every team to do well. Of course, you have your favorites, but there usually isn't a team that you want to do terrible. It's the same with the Olympics!

I had to share this commercial because I LOVE it!! I hope you enjoy it too.

Fun times...

So, I am the worst at updating this blog and then have to combine 10 posts into one and this post will be no different. I wanted to include the big events since we were married and then update it a bit more once I was caught up. I think this will bring everything up to date...What a relief!!! So in August, I walked for graduation and then actually graduated from BYU in Psychology with a Business minor in December. I loved my major but have no idea what I want to do with it. So, if you have any suggestions or ideas for me, then please pass them along. My wonderful family that came and supported me. I sure do love them all!!!

Later, we went with our awesome friends to Oklahoma/Texas for the BYU vs. Oklahoma game. That was soooo fun. The Ruggles are from Oklahoma and so we were able to meet their families and spend some time at their homes. It was such a blast!!!
The Cowboy's Stadium was INCREDIBLE!! I would move to Texas just because of this stadium. BYU won, which made it an even better game!

This was also the first time that I had been to 6 Flags! That place is awesome and crazy. The rides were intense. We had a lot of fun!

This is all of us going for a midnight swim at Colleen's house. Ruggles wasn't there, typical, because he chose to go to bed. We also went to the lake and used Jet Ski's...FUN!!

Mark and I went to the Ferrari challenge and saw some sweet cars. I was actually surprised by how fun this was. We were able to see some amazing cars race around the track. I wouldn't mind having a Ferrari :)
At the beginning of May, Mark and I went to Virginia to visit Mark's family. While we were there we went to New York for two days. Sadly, I didn't take many pictures from the vacation but the few that I did take, I'll post!! The picture above makes me laugh soooooooo hard because it says, "Don't Honk, $350 Penalty." Well, if any of you have been to NY, then you will know that people drive while laying on the horn. I was laughing hysterically because we would be at a stop light and then right before it would turn green the person behind us would already be honking at us. CRAZY FREAKING DRIVERS!!! It was nice to drive and walk around NY. I really love visiting that place. We took the families van, which happens to be 6 feet 8 inches and the only places to park in NY take cars 6 feet 6 inches or lower. Needless to say, we did a lot of driving because there was no place to park.

While in Virginia we went and saw Mount Vernon (George Washington's house). This house is HUGE. He was one rich dude. It was cool to walk down the road by his house and stand in some of the same places that he stood. If you haven't been to his house, then some day you should.

This is the tomb of George Washington. I thought it was soooo crazy that such an influential person was buried right there and I was so close to him. I can't wait to meet him one day.
Lastly......on May 27, 2010 we had our 2nd anniversary!!! For our 1st anniversary, we went camping and to "The Roof" and we liked it so much that we wanted to go camping again for our 2nd. Having an anniversary the same weekend as Memorial Day weekend makes it a little hard though. We ended up just making tin foil dinners one night...yum yum and going to Ruby River the next night.
