Disney pass

My Disney pass is about to expire! Waaa too bad the happiest place on earth keeps raising their prices. My friend Jessica (same nursing program, also a disneyland fan, and happens to be mormon) went with me before my pass expired. Its funny how we went through CNA school together not knowing we were mormon. When we started school we just happened to sit together, and now shes my school buddy, mormons attract! Anyways jess and i had a great time. Whe she said wed be leaving at 730 i was a little hesitant, ok alot hesitant. But it was SO worth it!! we walked unto every ride.. NO LINES! i went on the toy story ride for the first time ever because the line was not 2 hrs long this time.. Loved it!! Its my favorite now no crowds what so ever, it was the best Disneyland day ever! we went on every ride we could think of. maybe i should save up my pennies because we definately need a repeat!

Thanksgiving 2011

For thanksgiving this year i had to work, yuck! Mikes family went to utah to celebrate with grandma nielson, jealous! I felt bad for Mike because i didnt want him to go through thanksgiving without a thanksgiving feast, so i made him a thanksgiving lunch! instead of cooking turkey or a ham for just the two of us, Mike just bbqed chicken. I made green bean casserole, home made mashed potatose, pasta salad, deviled eggs, green salad, hawaiian rolls and apple crisp with vanilla ice cream for dessert. It was very yummy! Since i had the weekend off we went and celebrated thanksgiving with my mom. We had ham and lots of yummy sidesthank goodness for holidays and being able to take some time out of our hectic lives to be with our Families. I am so thankful for my family, my wonderful loving best friend and husband, for me and my families health along with lots and lots of other things. Happy thanksgiving!

Oak Glen

Mike and i finally went for my first time. I really wanted to pick out a little pumpkin to decorate my door and i heard there was food and fun in Oak Glen. It was alot of fun! The food was Delicious! When we first got there you could smell delicious corn so we made sure to head there first, it was so good. Then we walked around and looked at the shops they had there. After walking around, our noses found a bbq place so we had to try it. The line was ginormous but we waited patiently in line. Mike and i took turns being in line whole the other went and looked at the antique shop. When we finally placed our order we found out we had to make another line to get our food. Since we were a couple numbers away we went and got some caramel apples. (Lots of delicious eating on this trip. ) after finding a place to sit and eating our pulled bbq pork sandwhiches we went in search of a pumpkin. They had a ton of pumpkins to choose from and after some looking we found one we liked. I wished we couldve had more time to hang out but i had to hurry and get home for work. Were definately making Oak Glen a yearly trip from now on!

Marsix is home

Finally my partner in crime is home from her mission. I cant believe how fast time flew. When she left i was a Rosales and when she came back i was a Stewart. I still cant believe she was gone for my wedding but she was called to the SLC mission a couple of weeks before.
My aunt Mary was excited as can be to have her little girl back and decided to do a little get together. I told my mom this and she said "yea right theyre probably gonna close the streets down" hehe non the less is was a very nice welcome home party. Im glad we were able to make it. I found out the morning of that the party was changed to that day and was relieved that Mike was ok with coming home from work, packing and leaving. I love living close to my family. I love that tati is just a txt away, because who calls people now a day, jk :)
While we were there we were able to do a little shopping, watch movies and go ice skating. Oh yea and eat lots and lots because when Mexicans asks if you want seconds they dont take no for an answer. ;)

Boy Scouts

I dont think michael couldve gotten a better calling than to be in YM. He gets to go camping, fishing, swimming, rock climbing, canoeing, hiking, just to name a few things. Oh how he suffers. Last time i tagged along one day for one of the camp outs. I was sick of studying at home and decided it would be nice to study out in a park while the boys did their thing. I couldnt have asked for a better study time. All the scouts were busy getting their badges and i found a quiet little spot on a bench with some nice shade. The weather was great too. After the boys were done swimming mike met me for lunch. ( this park was huge. There were probably over 300 scouts there) they had a Carls Jr truck there so mike decided to get some hamburgers. It was a very fun day. Whenever mike told me he would would on camp outs i thought they sat around tying knots and playing with sticks but man was i wrong, these boys have fun, im jealous now. Joel went this time too. I love how mike and joel are little friends now and go places together and work on projects together. I hope all of mikes handy skills will continue to rub off on Joel

(P.s.this is the first time im using this version of blogger hope this post looks ok )
