Disneyland

So, I finally made it to Disneyland!! YAY!! It was fun. Christophe and I went with Christophe's friend Brandon and his girlfriend Katie. We left Monday night and got into Anaheim and went straight to our hotel. (Note, don't ever stay at Extended Stay, something something Studios. They have horrible customer service.) We woke up Tuesday morning and got to Disneyland about 9:30 or 10:00 and left about 4 ish. This day my favorite ride would definitely be Space Mountain, although Splash Mountain was also fun. Below is a picture of us after riding splash Mountain, you can't really tell, but I am basically soaking wet. If you notice the trash can next to me, it says Waste Please. We thought that the way this was worded was quite funny, as if Disneyland was asking us to waste things.


Then on Wednesday we started off at California Adventures riding The Tower of Terror, which as a blast! After riding a few other rides and The Tower of Terror again, we went to the Aladdin show. This was very well done, and the jokes updated for our times. We then went back over to Disneyland. One ride that I don't really like is the Matterhorn. Christophe and I were in one car and my knees were smashing against the car with every jerk and Christophe felt like he had no room either, so my advice is not to ride 2 adults in one car, take your own.


Then on Thursday we just relaxed and spent a couple of hours at the beach. I love the beach and just lying there soaking up the sun. I did stick my feet in the water for about a second, but it was really really cold. That night we meet up with Katie's old roommate for dinner right by the beach, after which Brandon and Katie went to "look for shells along the beach." That is right, he proposed. While they were gone, Christophe started taking pictures of the sunset with his phone, so I took some on the camera for him.

Then Friday we just hung out and then walked around Universal City right by Universal Studios, and went to a movie and then finally we headed out so we could make our flight back to cold Utah. This is my first trip to Disneyland, if you made it through that, I hope it makes since.

MY NEW TOY

Christophe has had an Iphone since Christmas, and a couple of weeks ago, he found a new game to download. One that I have been addicted to playing on the computer, so ever since then I have wanted one. Well, Christophe had a feeling to get on KSL.com to look up Iphone, and he found this:


A brand new, still in the box, 4 gig Iphone for only $275. He offered $250 and the guy said that he would take $260. So we g0t it for cheaper than we if they were still sold in the stores. Happy birthday to me! This is my new phone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I just want to say happy birthday to my cute adorable husband! He is 24 today. Man he is young. I also wanted to say happy birthday to Ian, my nephew, who is 3 today. Jenny is having a party for Ian today and when she called and told me about it, Ian wanted to talk too. So when I talked to him, I told him that it was going to be Uncle Christophe's birthday the same day as his. His response was "No, just mine, its just my birthday!" It was cute, Jenny was in the background trying to tell him no, but I just appeased him and told him that it could just be his. Happy birthday Christophe and Ian.

Anniversary

So Christophe and I have been married for six months. I am a little late updating my blog, cause our six month anniversary was February 17. Just about a month behind. I wanted to post some of the pictures from our wedding.




This one is of my whole family. Look how lopsided it is. My family is on the left and then Christophe's family plus one of his friends is on the right. I love it and my family.



This is really one of my most favorites. Ian didn't want to be in this picture from the beginning. These are all of our nieces and nephews. They are so cute!

Christophe's Valentine's Day Present

I know what you are all thinking, it is not ever February yet. I know, I know. But I was sitting at work and I over heard one of my coworkers talking about a free 4 month old pure bred black lab that someone was giving away with a bed and food. Christophe has been wanting a puppy since we got married, so I thought this would be a perfect Valentine's Day present. I found out who was giving the dog away, it was someone doing a closing in one of our other offices and I called someone over there and they said they would give the guy my number. Well, the guy called and said that they didn't really want to give him away, but that he had young kids and the puppy got a little excited while they were playing and scratch his 1 year old. He knew that it wasn't the dog's fault, but didn't want to have to worry about him unintentionally hurting his kids anymore.
So I told him that I wanted it. I was going to surprise Christophe, but it ended up that the guy was going out to dinner and wanted me to call him and set up a time to pick the puppy after I was going to be home and it was Christophe's day off. So I called him and told him what I did. I don't think he really believed me at first, but was excited. So we pick up Buddy(their name for him, not ours) on Thursday night for $40(the guy wanted money for the bed, kennel, and toys that came with the dog).



Unfortunately Christophe quickly found out that he was allergic to him and I realized the next day that I was too. So sadly this blog ends with us having just put up an add to sell him on KSL. He is a very cute, good dog, though not house trained yet. And I think Christophe feels bad that we have to give him up, but maybe when we are in a house with a back yard we can try again. So if anyone know of anyone looking for a cute puppy in Utah let us know.

Nothing

This post is really about nothing. But I am writing this to keep Elizabeth happy. Sorry it is not once a week, but at least it is an update.

Not much is going on. I just go to work and then go home and veg. Work is so slow that I am so bored most of the day that when I get home I don't have much energy to do anything.

We did go to Wendover on Saturday night on the "Fun Bus". It is a bus that drives from Salt Lake to Wendover and then will bring you back to Salt Lake. It only cost $15 a person and then they give you a certificate for $5 cash and a free buffet, that cost about $20, and then a free cocktail, which I didn't use. So if we just went for the food it was worth the bus fair. Christophe and I did a little gambling. He played $15 on Roulette and then I played $5 on penny slots. So we spent $20 on entertainment. Other people that we went with we much luckier than we were. Christophe's brother David won $100 in the first 10 minutes of being there. Christophe would have played more tables but they didn't have any dollar tables, the cheapest table cost $5, and we have to pay Christophe's tuition this week, so those weren't an option. Anyways I will stop babbling, I'm just trying to pass the time so it will be 5:00 sooner.
