Seeing life from a different "Vue"

After a year of being car-less, I am finally a car owner.

I said GOODBYE to this





And HELLO to this!

I am now the happy owner of a 2008 Saturn Vue.



No more feeling like I am sitting on the ground.

No more melting from the heat on my way home from work



So far I can say I really am enjoying the Vue.

Current Happenings

I have been a total slacker on blogging and updating with pictures. I just haven't made time for it. Tonight is my first night home in a few weeks so I thought I would take a minute and post some pictures of current happenings around here.

Dad- I really didn't forget about you! I'm just a slacker and a procrastinator which you really know all too well about me.

I am SO thankful for all the wonderful things you do for me each day and for our family. We are all so blessed to know you and have you be part of our lives.

Here are some pictures from his birthday and Father's Day.








A couple weeks ago I was able to make a trip up to the Northwest to visit Karina. It was a short trip, but so good to see her, John and cute little Kelsi. That little girl sure is cute and so much fun. She is definitely going to be a heart breaker. I got to check out John's cool new practice. The place looks really good. I can't wait to see them again when they come to visit in a couple weeks.











It's summer time which means there are more than enough baseball games to choose from to go too. We finally talked Mom into coming to a game. Although it was a sell out and traffic was bad we finally made it in and enjoyed a good game and the fireworks afterward.

Speaking of Fireworks... We had a great 4th of July. We started out the morning with the Fullerton Stake's annual breakfast. There was more than enough food to satisfy anyone's hunger. I don't think I have seen so many eggs in one location before. Then we headed to the beach. We stuck it out for as long as we could, but the wind was a little too much and after being pelted with the sand for two hours we were done. That night we got to watch the fireworks show at La Habra High School. Our neighbor was the pyrotechnic guy so we got a special tour before hand of how it was all going to go down and got to watch him light them as the spectacular show went on. I love fireworks and it was a great show- so my day was complete. I am thankful to live in this country and enjoy the many wonderful freedoms we have on a daily basis.

*I did not take these fireworks pictures- my camera is definitely not that good.
