Bees Game, Air Show, and Celebrity Sightings

Gosh, now that I'm a full time working girl I find it hard to sit down for 20 mins, check my e-mail, update my blog, and do other unnecessary things in my life. McKay and I have been up to some small adventures these past weeks.

We went to a Bees game with my cousin and her now fiance Tanner. They got engaged a week ago, and I'm really excited because they've been dating for as long as McKay and I have been together. This fall it will be 4 years! I get bored at Baseball games, and we lost, but it was fun to be outside and enjoy the company of alcohol infused people all around us.

Last week McKay and I went to the Air Show up at Hill Air Force Base. We carpooled with the Killpacks and left around 9 am. We got there at 10 and was able to get a really good spot. We enjoyed the noise, feeling the awesome power of the planes, and being near over 200,000 people. By noon it was so crowded it took us over 15 mins to reach the port-a-potties. Then another 30 min wait just to see the door of one. After taking two of these trips I decided that I was going to limit my water intake so I wouldn't have to make 3 more trips that day. There was so many people there I was becoming frustrated because I couldn't move and get around easily. I've never been to New York but I can imagine this is how it feels.


Mckay's Grandpa was a pilot in WWII and this is the type of planes he would fly.

The Thunderbirds

Me trying to hide from the sun!

We stayed the entire day and finally got to see the Thunderbirds. It was pretty awesome to see how blessed we are to have this great country, to think how smart mankind is, and how amazing the power of these airplanes. After the 3 1/2 hour trip back home due to the terrible traffic, it was time to go to bed. A long day in the sun resulted in me getting sunburned on my knees and the upper part of my arms. What a dumb place to be burned. Especially how devoted I am to the art of applicating sunscreen every hour, I thought I was covered. Well, I wasn't.

Today at church the 1st Counselor in the Bishopric came up to me after Sacrament and told me I look like a celebrity. He then tells me I look like Amy Adams from Enchanted. That is so funny because I've had a handful of people tell me I look like her. I don't know what makes us look so familiar, but I'll take any compliment I can get. I had a class mate from school tell me McKay looks like Kevin Spacey, and I've had people agree.

If only I had that poof sleeve dress.

How dreamy, I think I'm going to call McKay "Spacey" for now on.

Shoot Them Up

McKay and I along with our good friends the Zollingers went on a shooting escapade up Hobble Creek. It kind of freaked me out because there was about 20 other people shooting in the same place. To my left a group of brothers trying to show off how manly they are by shooting the loudest gun and to my right was a group of 10 deacons shooting guns. I serioulsy thought I wasn't going to get out of that canyon alive that night with all of the flying bullets. Guns scare me. I hate how they kick back, so the only gun I'll shoot is the .22.

Charlie's Angels

Poor Fernando, this who we shot during our session. And that was McKay's old computer monitor. I'm glad we were able to put it to good use.

Me and the .22

This is random, but this cute cottage up in Midway is the house I want! I heart it and whenever McKay and I are in Midway we go by it so I can take a picture of it.

Moving

So McKay and I moved to our new apartment in Orem. It's right next to the mall and is two blocks away from my in-laws. McKay and I wanted to scale back in size so we could save money to buy a house. We went from a two bedroom to a one bedroom. It's a lot newer and nicer inside. I especially like our front doors. As of yesterday we moved in and out all of our crap and now it's down to decorating. I'll post more pics when I get that done.

McKay really hates moving, can't you tell?

Real Soccer Game

McKay's Dad is one of the soccer coaches for Mountain View's Men's Varsity soccer team. They made it to the state championships and it was at the Real Soccer Stadium in Salt Lake. We went to support him and plus McKay and I have never been there.

St. George and Zions

Last weekend McKay and I went down to St. George to visit our good friends Dan and Heidi. We got some time to hike and enjoy Zions.

Our way up to Upper Emerald Pool

The way to the top

I'm not too happy in this picture. McKay didn't bring enough water for us on this hike. It was a 100 degrees outside and during the peak afternoon. I thought I was going to die of a heat stroke. I wasn't scared of the heights, I was so focus on getting H20. After saying a simple prayer that I would get off this stupid hike and that I'll be able to find water; on our way down we found a gallon jug of water on the side of the trail. What a miracle. Without that water I don't think I would have made it out of there.
