Phoneix Bucket List #1

Michelle and I decided that it was time that we got out and did something. We have been living in Phoenix now for close to 3 years. There are many wonderful things in Arizona that we have not done yet, so we have created a Phoenix "Bucket List" of sorts. The list is long and we have just over one year to complete it. We will update, as we cross items off of our list

Item #1 VISIT the GRAND CANYON

What we did at the Grand Canyon
1- We posed by the entrance sign to the canyon



2-Took pictures of the canyon
3-Took pictures of a hot girl overlooking the canyon
4-Sat on the edge of the canyon
(Michelle will tell you "sat OVER the edge of the canyon", she is probably more accurate)
5-Jumped at the canyon

6-Saw the California Condors of the canyon
7-Discovered an ancient tower in the canyon (Still under construction)
8-Were reminded that only we can prevent forest fires, in the canyon
9-Tree in the canyon
Had a great trip, and really enjoyed our time at the canyon.

Wedding

My friend Jen got married last weekend, so I was able to fly up to SLC for her wedding. It was great to see her again! It was also a good excuse to see some family and friends over the quick weekend trip.

Candace stopped by one night for some long-awaited 'girl' time. Yay for grape cream slushes! I'm pretty sure it helped you win your race!

Amy (previous roommate) met me downtown right before the wedding for some delicious mac'n'cheese! ahhhhhhh yah!

Met up with Whitney (also worked with her in the OR) and husband Luke at the wedding. It was a little chilly waiting for the bride and groom!

Jen looked GORGEOUS! Ryan didn't look too bad, either. :)

Loved her hair!

Such a cute family! I can't believe you just had a baby, Whitney! You look amazing as always.

Stopped by to see my friends Lisa and Mike and new baby Jaxson! I'm so glad it worked to stop by in between wedding festivities!

At the reception in Deer Valley, they had sleigh rides for the guests.

Puzzle Race Girls vs Boys. The boys won, but I think they had a slight advantage....

My niece and I enjoying some ice cream.

Mom showing me how to use the coolest apple peeler! Mmmm....apple crisp.

Of course it was too quick, but it was fun to get away for the weekend. One of these times Pete will have to come with me.... :)

It ain't no Puyallup Fair, but.....

There is a church across the street from our complex that hosts a small carnival every year. This last weekend a group of us went to check out the rides.

First stopped by Famous Dave's for some grub. Wo.....that's a lot of food!

Here we are ready for ride number 1 on the "Super Loop". Uh.....did anyone bring dramamine?

The group that (barely) survived the ride.

Pete was feeling so brave and elected to do the ride again. To see what he looked like afterward, see below:

Made me miss the good ol' Puyallup Fair!!
