Twilight

So...what's with the Twilight books? Everyone is talking about them...so will someone tell me which books to buy? I need a good read! :)

I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane...

Well, the movers are here today. It's hard to believe we are leaving. I really enjoyed our time here in St. George and hope we will come back again...
It's going to be about a month until our apartment in NY is ready for us. So, we will be living in Tom's brothers basement with our stuff in storage. Fun Fun! I probably won't be blogging much for the next month or so...adios!

Walmart and a bird that says "hoot...hoot"

So, I know I already blogged today but Tom is down stairs packing and listening to Guns and Roses which I hate! So, what else is there to do other than watch TV or blog? Anyway....
I just realized how much I love Walmart. I have been paying $58 for 150 mg of clomid at my pharmacy. Well, I decided to switch to Walmart and it was ONLY $24...$24!!!!!!! Ok so I wish I had discovered this earlier since my insurance doesn't cover any of it. Oh well....three cheers for Walmart!
I'm so sad we are moving....I love St. George...I have the best doctor here and now I am going to have to find another one :(
On another note...I think I am going to shoot the bird that has made a nest right outside my bedroom window. At 5:00 every morning I hear "hoot...hoot" and it doesn't stop until around 11 am. I usually like nature and the sounds of birds, but not when I am trying to catch some zzz's

The Narrows at Zion

I highly recommend this hike. You actually have to hike through the river, so you will need water shoes. It is awesome, as you can tell from the pictures! I love going there and seeing what a beautiful earth God has given us. It's hard to recognize such beauty when we live such fast paced lives...but there really is beauty all around us. It makes me want to "go green". :-)

Welcome to Zion....


Pretty little waterfall...


The happy couple


I liked this design in the rock


Sisters


another cool design in the rock


the water was really cold but we decided to take a dip since it was so hot outside. Tom really didn't want to do it...but since my sister and I did it he had to in order to still be macho. :)


Love ya Tom!

At one point on the hike it got so narrow that we couldn't even see the sky.

Red Cliffs in 105 degree weather without any water....

I took Kim to see the Red Cliffs Reserve...lets just say it was not worth the trip this time. First of all, it was really hot and we forgot water. Second, there was no water left in the river. The water in the pools is what makes the trip worth it. As soon as we got back from the hike we drove to the nearest gas station and drank a gallon of water each!

Me...I'm not sunburned...just really really hot!


Kim (my older but not wiser sister...jk :-)


a classic picture...I probably have 5 just like it :)

Horseback in Zion

While my sister Kim was visiting we went horseback riding on one of the trails in Zion. I'm not used to riding a horse, so boy was I sore for the next couple days.

Finally!!!

We finally have a place to live in NY. It's not in Long Beach, but it is still less than a mile walk to the beach (Glen Cove). Things are finally coming together today, thank goodness! I am getting my old job back, which is GREAT since I can still have health insurance! I just need to find a job for the summer since it is a school year only job as a preschool teacher.
Tomorrow my older sister, Kim, is coming to visit. I'm sooooo excited! It will be my last time (at least for a while) to go to Zion National Park....I will miss it!!

deja vou

You know, I really wish we had figured out that we wanted to move to NY BEFORE we packed up (3 weeks ago) and moved to this house. Now I am stuck doing this all over again. On the bright side we put on add on craigslist to sell some of our stuff so the move would be easier, and almost all of it is gone... in 1 DAY!!!!! Meanwhile, I am packing up boxes of books and seriously having some deja vou. But, what can you do when you know something is the right decision?? Now I just wish we could find a place to live in NY! We are leaving here on the 24th, but we have nowhere to go. :( Good thing the family lives there....who wants to take us and 2 cute little cats??? Well, hopefully we get the place we want in Long Beach....I would LOVE to live with the beach out my back door!

SURPRISE!!!

Well, who knew our lives would change so drastically by going to NY!?!? While we were there, we decided to move back! Tom is going to be working with his brother in Manhatten. I don't have a job yet, but hopefully soon I will find out. I am very sad to leave St. George, but I am excited for our next little adventure. :)

New York Beaches and Family!!!

I'm finally back!! Tom and I had a very enjoyable week in NY. We enjoyed spending time with family and going to the beaches. We were too busy to go to the city, but it was still a blast!
The plane ride and bus ride home really sucked! I had no space...and after only 3 hours of sleep the night before, I was forced to fall asleep in a very weird position. I am paying for it now!!! I woke up yesterday and couldn't move my neck...I guess I pulled something. I decided JetBlue is the ONLY way to fly...or first class! JetBlue gives you so much room and you get your own personal TV with lots of channels to choose from. Wow, ok JetBlue should pay me for advertising. :)

Me and my funny hair


Our lighthouse....it's probably on this blog 100 times, but I couldn't resist!


Getting burnt to a crisp!
