California <3

Two Thursdays ago, Brig and I headed to Cali for our 1st road trip alone! The first night we stayed in a hotel by Six Flags. On the way, we stopped at the outlets of course & got Brig a stylish new hat (as shown in pictures) & some flip flops.

Friday morning we drove to Six Flags and were there for most of the day. It was Brigham's 1st time there and he loved it! So we decided to be ammusement park nerds & run all the way up the hill to ride X2 before it got too crowded. As we were running past all these teenagers, we kinda stopped for a second to catch our breath. While we were stopped, a couple people ran past us to get to the ride and I heard a girl behind us say..."What idiots...I mean, who runs to the rides? Seriously." Haha.

So approaching X2 we come to find out that you have to pay for a locker before every ride to put your stuff in. Lame. But we did, EXCEPT we forgot to put the most important stuff in my purse that we locked in the locker. Such as.. Keys, wallet, and phone. And if any of you have ridden X2, you know what I'm talking about. Brig was holding onto his pockets the whole entire ride and at the very end, yep...his phone slipped out. Kinda depressing. BUT at least it wasnt the keys right??

At about 3:30, we were done with roller coasters so we headed to our next hotel about an hour away by Knotts Berry Farm. It was way nice! We unpacked all of our stuff, went hot tubbing, went to El Toritos for dinner, walked around the mall, ate icecream at Berrysweet (amazing.), and got back massages from chairs in Bed Bath & Beyond (Brig informed me that I have some competition with my back massages).

The next morning, we went to Mimi's Cafe for breakfast. DeLiCiouS. I recommend the blueberry stuffed french toast. mmmm. But not if you're trying to eat healthy.

We packed up and headed to Knotts at about 12. Speaking of packed...Knotts was insanely crowded. We were in line for 1 1/2 hr for our 1st ride. And as you know...the ride is about 1 min long! haha. But it was worth it! We rode a total of 3 rides in 4 hrs, then were pretty much sick of lines, so we left and headed to

the Angels stadium where we met Brigham's aunt & uncle there. They got us front row tickets! Brigham was in heaven! After the game we stayed at there house & chatted til midnight. They are the coolest people. Sunday morning, she made us a deicious egg casserole & we headed to church.

After Sacrament meeting, we left to drive home. It was depressing to see the temp. change as we got closer to AZ. :(

We miss California! The weather was so nice there! But we're glad to be home. :)

Griffey! Brigham named his dog after him a long time ago. Wouldn't you just love to have a dog named after you?

6. Cabin trip/same day of wisdom teeth pullage.(yet another car pic.)

Chubby Cheeks.

So basically on Sunday night, I started getting chubby cheeks. So I decided i should probably take care of my infected wisdom teeth. Monday after school I went to my life saver/dentist/brother-in-law. He was going to pull the teeth…but after seeing the x-ray of my crazy roots and nerves that run right through the roots, he decided it would be best for me to be asleep when I get them pulled. So, i drove over to my cousin/dentist that does implants and he took a 3-D photo of my teeth! fun stuff.

I began to pop some pills aka: ibuprofen 800 mg. amazing stuff! Tuesday I had a consultation with the Oral Surgeon and today I had them pulled! I was fast asleep…thank goodness. My mom was there to drive me home since Brig had to work. No, i didn’t say any crazy things. But i was extra smiley. And almost ran into probably like 3 doors.

I am swollen. Yes I look like a cute little bunny. No you can’t squeeze my cheeks. Sorry grandpa.

Besides my drama, life is great! Brig’s taking great care of me. We’re getting a little sick of our routine schedule.

4:15am- wake up, make breakfast, and brig’s lunch, send him off to work.

4:45am- go back to bed. Brig’s already dialing at work, searching for students!

6:00- wake up…again. study. eat breakfast. go to school

12:30- work!

5:00- we both get home. dinner. (usually brig cooks since he’s such a chef!…salmon. chicken fettichini alfredo. pizza. grilled veggies. etc.)

7:00-gym if we have time (for like 15 min)

8:00-Study! Brig helps me by doing dishes. he’s incredible.

9:30- Bed Time!!! Brig works 11 hour days so he’s usually pretty tired by now!

And again and again. everyday! :) We love life!

My parents and sister went to Heber for a couple of days and left Brig and I to stay with the chillins. So....Monday night we went and played tennis with Brig's family and went to Ocean Blue Frozen Yogurt! Then Nate and Brigham watched Nacho Libre. Tuesday morning Brig left for work at 5:30 and at 8:50 I took Nate to Lifeguarding. Allie and I chilled at home, cleaned, chilled some more, I went swimming, and then we watched High School Muscial 3! (don't ask). When Brig got home, he went running, lifted weights, and went swimming. It's fun to be in charge once in awhile! :)

This picture shows our favorites of eachother. Brigham's lips. and My eye. (jk. i just didnt know the zoom was on).

Saturday is a special day...it's the day I meet people and party.

After Brigham helped his dad with some yardwork this morning, we headed to Costco to pick up some pictures that we got developed. While we were there, Brigham and I decided that we should take advantage of some free food-samples! If any of you didn't know, Costco has bomb samples on Saturdays! All you need to do is borrow someone's membership card, find a cart giving out samples, pretend to be interested in the food, and then move on to the next.

After Costco, we met a family from Brigham's mission (McAllen, TX) at Nielson's Frozen Custard. It was fun to meet them for the 1st time! That family loves Brig and calls him quite often! They were way neat people!

After that, we went to my Grama Sandra & Papa's house for a bday celebration for my mom.

My mom is the best ever.

Brigham is now recruiting for bball...Desperate to WIN!

So Friday night Brig was supposed to have a bball game. He needed 5 other guys to come play with him because his original team bailed on him like a month ago. So...he decided to rig the game and get some Highland bball boys to come play. Some of the characteristics include:

• TALL
• In highschool (aka: in shape)
• Recruited all the way from Phoenix to play in Gilbert..hm
• Confident
• Too confident

Is dunking in a city league allowed? NOPE! But fortunately they were allowed to this time because they ended up just playing a random team for fun. One of the kids did a 360 dunk...but i mean, who can't? (wow.) So...I enjoyed watching Brig and these highschoolers kill the old men!
